The closing week of the campaign
against the proposed license law,
which has been conducted throughout
the State by the Woman Christian
Temperance Union will be one of
great earnestness on the part of that
organization. Four mass meetings
are being arranged. 1t is planned to
hold one in the opera house in this
city Sunday, Feb. 1. Mrs. l.. M. N.
Stevens national president and Miss
Anna Gordon, national vice president

vention of the Vermont Sugar Makers
association, which is to be held at the
armory in this city, February II and
IL, will be issued this week. The
meeting promises to be one of the best
in the history of the association. Sew
real good exhibits are already ar
ranged for and the 5000 to be distri-

of this feature. The convention will

With the election last week of
Fred A. Rowland as attorney of the
National Life Insurance Co.. new
order of things is to be instituted in
the legal affairs of the company. Mr..
Rowland is to give up general prac-
tice and will devote his time to the
superintendent of the legal business
of the company, throughout the
country. He will have his office in
the National Life building. 1t will
probably be few months yet before
the business of the former firm of Dill
lingham, Huse, and Rowland will be
cleared up sufficiently to allow Mr..
Rowland to give himself wholly to
the new arrangement.
1t is stated on excellent authority
that at least one of the ayowed candi
dates for alderman at the coming city
election has openly stated that hi
chief reason for desiring a place il
| the city council is because he WANT
license, and believes his influence al
alderman would be useful in bringin,
about the desired end. This is mat
| ter that deserves the careful considera
ton Of Montpelier people. Everyone
