Letter From Leading Citizen on the Sub
iset
Editor The Banner:-In your recen
editorial "As to Licence" you say
that you think a vote for mo license
in Bennington would indicate lack
acknowledge of local conditions and be
a useless struggle for an ideal that is
not now attainable. ''But you say also
that where the sentiment is about even
ly divided and unless the temperance
sentiment is strong enough to enforce
the law, the citizen with the good OF
his town atheart should vote no license
aud there by to see that the law is liv, d
up to-"
SSow / submit this question; "Is not
the whole local option idea and the
vote for license or no license tomorrow
simply the means of ascertaining
whether the sentiment of our town is
for or against license?" If so, then a
man should be urged TO vote to his
own convictions. If he honestly thinks
the town woul1 be better of without
public drinking places let him vote
"no"-his vote brings his pledge that
he will stand for the enforcement of the
law, If he wants the saloon let him
vote "yes".
We live 10 the land of the majority
rule. Last year the vo'e was over
whelmingly in favor Of license and the
minority have been 7ery law abiding
and submissive. When the vote goes
"no license" In Bennington Is It tC o
much to ask the then minority TO obey
the will of the majority l do not
think a minority of one to eight can
effectively enforce no license law but
a majority of our voters can. There
fore we ought to vote as we believe ard
thereby register the real sentiment Of
Bennington and insist that the minor
ity shall abide by the expressed will Of
the majority.

AFTER THE
BIG. SLEDS.
Good Natural Controversy At
Arlington.

East Arlington, Feb 27:-A party OF
20 young men went to Arlington Sat
urday night and recovered the "big
trackersP secured by the Arlington
boys the preceding Sunday night.
There has been much controversy
over these sleds between the young
men Of the two villages for several
years. They were built several years
ago by B. L. Field and are the lar
gest pair of trackers in this part of the
country, After using them one or two
winters, Mr. Field sold tickets and re-
ceived the money for a large number
of these, with the avowed intention Of
rafting them but this vas never done.
A few tickets were purchased by fell
lows on the other-si side of the hill and
as a result they tried to get the poss-
ession of the property, small part of
which belonged to them.
The sleds were kept hidden when not
in use so that all attempts to- rescue
tuthI hhNll a Si4Olt tAtAAC dRO pIONch lu-
tile. The boys, however, became care
less and this winter the sleds have
been eft by the bandstand near the
store Of Dunton q Stakeholder.
The trackers disappeared during the
night of February IA and as both Mr.
Dunton and States Attorney Shaksho-
ber reside in Arlington, they were un-
der suspicion. When Mr. Stakeholder
offered to bet a dollar that the boys of
this village would not coast on them
again this winter, they decided to get
the sledS at any cost.
After waiting in vain several even
ings for an opportunity TO capture
them while they were being used,
large contingent went over Saturday
night. The trackers were not in sight
but two probable hiding places had
been learned from observation on
the sly" and in one Of these they were
found and brought back before the
eyes of the short time possessors.

40 CENTS ON DOLLAR.
Settling Up Affairs Of the Dsfunct Farmers Nat
onal Bank

Bank examiner f. L. Fish, receiver
or the defunct Farmers National Bank
of Vergennes has accepted the offer of
40 cents on the dollar from most of the
stockholders of the institution against
who he brought suit for the recovery
of dividends that were paid them before
the bank failed.
The receiver claimed that the cash
er had paid dividends when the bank
was in an insolvent condition.
There are few of the stockholders
who refuse to settle on any terms and
will carry the cases to the end, but it
is believed that eventually they will be
settled, soon after the others pay in the
