The license to sell liquor places were
closed Friday and Saturday last. The
fact that Friday was "Arbor" day caused
the licensees to question their right to
open up, even if that was not legal ho-
iday and so got in touch with the Attor-
ney General, who advised them to close,
which they did. Saturday was special
town meeting and he also advised them
that if there was to be an election they
should close, and so they did, inasmuch
as somebody was to be elected to sell the
poor farm. Altogether it was dry town S
Friday. Saturday and Sunday. Business t
resumed Monday and barring Sundays
there will be no close up again until Me- 4
mortal day, but as this day falls on Sun a
day this year the question arises will {
there have to be close up on the follow a
ing Monday, the day that will probably I
be publicly observed? The same action d
will have to be taken with Fourth of "
July, as that day also falls on Sunday this n
year. These two events disposed of Il
there will be no more " close ups" until D
August 18th, Bennington Battle day, and a
then if circus comes along there must T
be .close up and also when the fair is Al
held. Thanksgiving day, Christmas, u
New Years and Washington's birthdays
ire holidays and so there will be close OF
up on those days. Id
