have read with much pleasure from

John D. Miller, Esq, county commits
sioner, has just made up his report for
the past year, from which it appears that
the total sales at all the agencies in the
profit was paid into the town treasures.
Mr.. Miller says that the agents have been
faithful in the discharge of their duties,
having sold in small quantities, strictly
according to law. No complaint has been
made to the commissioner that any agent
has abused his license. The towns of
Barnet, Waterford, Concord, Kirby, Lyn-
don and Danville have no agents. These
towns are supplied from the st. Johns
bury agent. Taking into account the
amount of sickness and the number of
people to be supplied, Mr.. Miller thinks
the figures show no unreasonable amount
sold from the agency.
