The report of the heads of the vari-
Gus departments show akommendabl&
and p@Mvssive work. Pm Ithe eterb
ing MN. @6ead, state president, spoke
to the Union. Excepting the state
ment of Mrs. Read, that the rum in
terests had sent half a million dollars
into Vermont to buy legislation to ia
vor high license and local option; her
talk was sound and sensible and should
have been listened to by every citizen
in our village. We believe the 'half
million story to be a statement Mrs.
Read cannot prove. showed in this
correspondence March IS, 1898 facts
taken from town reports that town
liouor agencies in only II of our 245
towns had dispensed S167, 900 worth OF
rum, to say nothing of all the liquors
sold at bars, saloons, drug stores and
rum holes in these same towns, then
take all the other towns not reported, !
and the aggregate is appalling. Does
it look reasonable that when /.
wholesale liquor dealers can sell such /
quantities of liquors in Vermont under
a prohibatory law, that they would /
send half million in cash to buy a
state legislature for high license. Will
Mrs. Read prove her statement, will
she go through Vermont preaching
this stuff. insulting We mont represen- |
tatives by saying a half million dol
lars is in store to buy them, without
Offering evidence to substantiate her
assertion. If Mrs. Read thinks Yer
mont legislature is in the market and
for sale-for rum, or for any other pur-
them. No, Mrs. Read, you are too true
a WON N to believe it yourself, after a
careful examination of the subject /
The pure, reasonable and wholesome /
doctrine you preached last Wednes day
evening is not IN harmony with the
half million fable. Drop it.
Mrs. George c. Fabyan gave a fare
we'll reception at her fathers home

wishes of this community will so with

Mrs. r. d. Curriers' many friends
are glad to see her in Newbury again
