er hiding.

Boston Traveller.
The town meetings of this week have af
for,td further evidence Of increasing hosti
ily to the liquor traffic. Several larg,
towns that favored licenses last wear hav,

to have turned in that direction. II ha,
been most conclusively shown that men hold
ing licenses hsbitually violate the laws, anC
that their sympat!ies are with those wht
sell without licenses.
