It'san annual affair, this saying yes !"

AND CITIZEN readers as worthy of care
full consideration:
"The best work fo1 prohibition in Yer
mont can be done at the coming March
meetings. If every citizen who believe
that the sale of Intoxicating liquors in
his respective town is detriment to- 1T,
will do IA little intelligent work in sup
port of his position, and above all else
get out to town meeting and not only
cast a ''no" vote but interest himself
thoroughly in electing efficient town
of1icers-if he will do this there will be
even less license towns than ever before,
and prohibition will mean prohibition.
On the contrary, if he stays at home, de-
plores the loss of the former prohibition
law, kicks the old chopping block under
the impression that he is giving the local
option law bad half hour, he is llkely
to wake up the next morning or the
morning after the next, and find that ms
town has voted itself into the undesirable
list. Let's all attend town meeting and
do our duty this year"

A Remarkable Savings
Bank Record
From the Bennington Banner.

Hon. Carroll S. Page has been often
pointed out as Vermont leading business
man, and he has more than once justified
the title, but his latest achievement seems
to be the most remarkable of his. long
and successful career.
During the past six months and includ-
ing the period covering the most pro-
nounced financial stripgencv i'll a decade
he has increased the deposits of his bank
at Hyde Park by S23J, 900 through a
campaign of newspaper advertising in
the daily and weekly papers of this state.
This achievement would have been re-
markable at any time, but in view of the
financial disturbances of the past few
months it is nothing less than astonish-
ing, yet when taken and considered care
fully the process seems comparatively
simple after all.
In the first place Governor Page who
has dominated the HYDE Park bank has
insisted on most rigidly conservative
methods, studying always the security of
the loan and the safety Of the deposits
rather than the prospect of big interest
returns and financial benefit to the di-
rectors.
In this way he and his bank have earn
ed the confidence of the saving people OF
Vermont, and when he placed the facts
fairly and simply stated before the news
paper readers of this state the response
was immediate.
Money has poured in from all over
Vermont in large and small sums, and it
is noted that when a depositor in the
Page bank once begins an account he j,
practically sure to add to it as fast as
possible.
Some of the other banking men of tn,
state have criticised Governor Page,
methods. but it seems to be due more t,
jealousy than to any just cause, and a.
business is known by its results, the re
suits in the case of Governor Page an,
his bank speak for themselves.

Some Thouqhts on Love,

1t is difficult to know at what mo-
ment love begins. 1t is less difficult to
know it has begun. A thousand her
aids proclaim it to the listening air; a
thousand messengers betray it to the
eye. Tone, act. attitude and look, the
signals upon the countenance, the cleo
trio telegraph of touch-all these be-
tray the yielding citadel before the
word itself is uttered which, IKE the
key surrendered, opens every avenue
and gate of entrance and renders re-
treat impossible.-Eongfellow.
TO write good love letter you ought
to begin without knowing what you
mean to say and to finish without
knowing what you have written
Rousseau.
The first symptom of true love in a
young man is timidity; in a girl it is
holiness. The two sexes have a tend
ency to approach, and each assumes
the qualities of the other.-Hugo.

charged with numbering John Wood
apple at the old mans cabin near
Monticello by burning him to death in
the building, was commenced this
morning in the superior court in this
city. 1t was expected that Shroyer
would be tried first, but District At

is the principal witness for the prose
cution. Five months after the alleged
crime she told the grand jury that she
saw Lund knock Woodapple senseless
with heavy neck yoke near his cabin
and that Lund and Shroyer then picked
up Woodapple's body, placed it in the
cabin and burned the body and build :
ing together. Lund and Shroyer were
