Bottle License Run Right.

There are three second-class or bottle
licenses in Lamoille county and it is the
only county in the state where this
license is in good repute. This is due to
the fact that the licensees are men who
recognize their responsibilities in the
premises. The bottle licensee at Stowe is
a druggist. His troubles began the very
first week he opened up. A farmer
entered his place and presented gallon
jug which he wanted filled with
whiskey. The dealer remarked that he
was not doing a wholesale business, and
the would-be customer went away and
did not return. The dealers next ex-
perience was with party of about
dozen from Waterbury who went over
to Stowe on the trolley and each ordered
a quart of whiskey. The dealer looked
the party over and made up his mind
that one bottle would do for the party.
They took that and never returned. The
arrest for drunkenness at Stowe have
not reached 20 since the local option law
went into effect, and IA of these were
made upon the complaint of the holder
of the second-class license. He proposes
that persons buying liquors of him can
not abuse their privileges with impunity.

A strange and destructive fire oc-
Cured in Cabot, supposedly about three
o'clock in the morning of Dec. 49, All
that is known of the fire or it's origin
was learned when some people drove by
the spot where the saw MILL of Harry
Daniels stood and found only the ashes
The mill was only completed about two
weeks ago and was well equipped with
steam engine and saws 1t is situated
on what is known as the Colburn farm
about one mile and half from the vii
lage of Cabot. About 100000 feet of
lumber is waiting to be sawed There
was no insurance whatever on the build
ing and the loss is estimated at about
$4,000. There was nobody at the mill
and nobody within sight so that it is i'm
possible to say from what origin the fire
started. The siege on the old Colburn
sugar place which has produced so many
thousand pounds of sugar had just be-
gun and the trees so carefully guarded
by the Colburn family for hundred
years were at last succumbing to the
axe of the woodman.
Thus was it temporarily interrupted
almost as if ghostly hands had inter-
vened, protest at the ruthlessness of the
invasion.
