dence Of her daughter, Mrs. Charles

To Merchants, Butchers and Produce

competitor and that his present stock is
the largest held by any house in this

After most thorough investigation

others in the same line, we have become

superiority of quality he is confessedly
at the head"

"DIrefuI ResuIts.0

Editor of Banner Some weeks ago,
as illustrating the direful results Of the
abolition Of hated saloons in our village,
1t was stated in the RefOrmer that par
ties looking at the Wooden Mill property
with view to its purchase, left the
town in disgust.
Last week the property was sold to a
practical manufacturer, and will soon
be running. to the delight OF our citi-
zens.
Now, il Livingston was right in the
intimation that the other parties would
not buy on account OF closing the hotels
because they could not with impunity
violate the laws Of the land, then by a
parity OF reasoning. the last parties
bought it because the hotels we're closed
for the reasons given.
1t is poor rule that won't work both
ways, 40 some good has come from clos
ing the hotels, as the Reformer must ad-
init. ORDER.

Temperance Hotels CHALLENGED.

Mr. EDITOR Editor Livingston is un.
fortunate in his challenges. Some OF
the very best hotels in Vermont are kept
on temperance principles. A notable
example ia the Van Ness House in Bur-
lngton. Its accommodations are sought
by the travelling public and it pays, and
no traveller whose presence was desired
ever refused its accommodations because
there was no rum to be had there.
