"Our Flag is Still There. ,,

Yes, the No License flag still waves above the ramparts of North Can aan; and sister towns have rallied around the standard. Yes. the sister towns of Norfolk, Canaan. Salisbury and Shef- field have formed hollow square a. round North Canaan and they face out ward and present their bayonets toward the License places of Winsted, Kent, Millerton and Great Harrington.
 The threadbare plea that North Can san ought to have a License because North Canaan money goes to neighbor- ing License towns is no longer heard in the land. At the town elections last Monday, North Canaan gave 42 major ity for No License; Norfolk gave three majority for No License, Canaan Falls Village, South Canaan and Huntsville) gave 24 majority for No License. Salis- bury gave l38 majority for No License in 1894 and still remains No License town because no vote was taken on the QucbeAou Aoos nAouuoJ. ouCMSho VoVCo No License at it's last town election.
 Today North Canaan is surrounded with No License towns, neverthelt ss the coming twelve months will be 8 critical period in the No License history of North CAnnan. Unless illegal liquor selling is promptly and continuously suppressed here the chances are that Lii csnse will triumph here next year. The increase of the License vote in North Canaan from 72 in the year 1894 to 126 in the year 1895, and the decrease in the No License vote from 18i to l68, should alarm temperance men and con- vince them that External Vigilence is the Price of Liberty" It is not an easy task to suppress illegal liquor sell ing; but it can be done. and it will he done unless the Law and Order League has traitor in it's rauks.

There is one medicine which every family should be provided with. We refer to Cham berlain's Pain Balm When it is kept at hand the severe pain of burn or soald may be promptly re- lieved and tue sore healed in much less time than when medicine has to be sent for A sprain may be promptly treat ed before inf 4mation sets in, which in- sures cnre in abont one-third the time otherwise required. Cuts and bruises should receive immediate attention, be- fore the parts become swollen. and when Chamberlain's Pain Balm is applied 1t will heal them without matter being formed. and without leaving scar. A sore throat may be cured in one night A piece of flannel dampened with this liniment and bound on over the seat of pain, will cure lame back or pain in the side or chest in tuenty-four hours. It is the most valuable. however, for rheu- matism. Persons afflicted with this di- sease will be delighted with the prompt relief from pain which it affords, and it can be depended upon to effect a com plete cnre.
