the teacher in the primary department
of our village school the coming term.
Miss Rev. Frances and Miss Helen
Kimball returned last Saturday after a
months absence at their old home in
Poland, Maine, looking greatly i'm.
proved in health. AS they drove to
Maine, four days were consumed each
way. Their route lay through the
White Mountain, N. H., district.
Their parents, pleasantly known to
some of our citizens, they found in
good health. Farmers in Maine, as
they saw them, share with Vermont
farmers in the unfavorable weather
for haymaking Their brother, Rev.
John Kimball, joined them at their
fathers. They found the large sum-
mer hotel at Poland Springs with few
er guests than usual this season, as
was the case with another well known
hotel of the kind. And now, as big
period to this paragraph we put the
delicious, large blueberries that grow
down there, two bushels of which
Miss Helen believes she picked during
her stay.

In thinking over the years of the
history of our town as known to us,
we wonder if any other one cause has
been so powerful in engendering bit
terness and arrangements among our
citizens as the o-called political ques-
tions periodically forced upon all our
towns for settlement. In the very ma.
ture of things these questions must
arise and must be met. But must all
these sad results ever follow: With
the other towns in our State, we are
just now las we are destined to be for
a month to come compelled TO be in
the heat of political battle-such as
all together-we have hardly known
in long time. And now shall any
one party, any enc cause, win, in the
coming battle. at the expense of that
which b. st maxi u f. worth living"
in any community, VIZ. mutual good
feeling and love? A writer of note
has said that to know all is to for
give all - and if knowledge of all
the facts in the case of personal enc
mics would lead to full forgiveness
of them, let us believe that full
knowledge of the facts that govern
our fellow townsmen in their political
actions would lead to charity that
would cover multitude of differences
of opinion. Let not now the Prohi-
bitionist feel that every Local OPP
zionist is for free rum nor every
regular" in his party now brand one
"blamed bolter," who, for any rea-
son, cannot go with his old time poll
tical associates. one of our Vermont
ministers has lately publicly stated
that he believes he represents a large
element in the State i'll saying, Eve
simply contend fOr the restriction of
the ira ffic il liquor, to the narrowest
practicable limits by the least obiec-
tionable means" Let all who are glad
to be known as Prohibitionists believe
that in that Large element" may be
many just as intelligent, patriotic and
honest as they themselves are, who
want local option law But let
us have peace" and good neigh.
borly feeling as town, come local
option or prohibition
