Says the Fair Haven Era, our mighty
Vermont hunters are doing noble work
in the slaughter of the ferOcious deer,
and incidentally a number of domestic
animals and human beings. How Is this
for a record? Up to date the tally is
exactly Is deer. The month is nearly
gone. too. Included with the Is deer
are two men killed, five more or less
dangerously shot, and three horses, five
for deer. Every man who has shot one
of his fellow beings should he promptly
iugged and prosecuted for criminal care
lessness. Repeal the law that allows the
deer to be killed.

fallen and winter is in evidence there is

into a warm place and 90 to sleep, reads
