The Phoenix finds itself in error last
week in stating that the saloons In
North Walpole were running wide
open. Liquor of course is sold in
North Walpole and probably always
will be, but it is understood that an
agreement has been reached between

prosecution, and the liquor dealers
that. If he will discontinue his prose-
cutions for past offences, they will
mend their ways and discontinue to
violate the law in the open manner In
which it has been done for many
years. Bellows Falls people will be
i glad of even this concession 'on the
| part of the saloon keepers, If it is lived
up to.

larged the press room used by them,
