Editor Republican, sent you the returns
Of our village election the same evening,
but they mu st have failed to reach you, as
you have not published them. It is no
great matter, as our election had 10 manner
of political significance, and candidates
were elected on their personal merits, which
Is as 1t should be in our local elections. v.
f. Lunn was selected President with no
serious opposition; and c. E butcher was
reelected Treasurer unanimously. The
only real fight was over the office of Justice
Of the Peace, which had become vacant by
the resignation of Mr. Chapman. The two
candidates received just tie vote, and Jas
Thompson gained the office by drawing lots
with his opponent, S. W. Budlong.
It is rumored that two ladies. received
each vote, one for Justice and the osher
for Constable but that must be base
SANDER on the electors of our villa ge.
There have been several business chang s
lately. A2rahams & Braudner have dis
solved partnership, and new firm under
the name of n. Brandner & Bro are carry
Ing on the business at the brick store. Mr..
Gar ison has sold out his splendid stand to
John Burton and james Giles, who intend
to keep full assortment of grocerie 5, to-
gother with all sorts of refreshments, LIQUID
and solid, that do not come under the con-
demnation of the Maine liquor law.
VIVA. T. Bond has traded his farm with
NJ. Arlin for the Arlin House. and carries on
the hotel still on the temperance plan. If
any one wants to stop at quiet, No3i-or-
dered inn, where he will get all he comforts
of home that it IS possible to secure at any
hotel, and all at a very reasonable rate, let
him try Squire Bond. We of course antici-
pate many visitors here this summer to
drink our mineral water, and to hunt and
fish in the country round This hotel will
add greatly to the attractions of the place
for summer visitors
Some time ago VIM. Schmidt sold out his
saloon to Abendroth, the brewery man over
on Clutch Island" Abenroth has sold his
brewery to Theodore Menke of our place
We have two new lawyers, c urtis Siam
and SEQ. Norton, both promising young
men. We now have as many lawyers as
we have ministers and doctors, showing
that people here, as well as elsewhere give
more to have their own way than to cure
their bodice or their soulq.
couple of young ladies from your place
believe, have opened a millinery and dress
making establishment here. ! walt for in
structions from my wife venturing to pro-
nounce an opinion on their merits.
J. Mosher has resigned his place on the
School Board and A. 0 Comstock takes his
place. This makes the third resignation of
members Of the School Boad since the last
school meeting. The old problem of the
jack-knife, which had q new handle and
new blades, leaving Us in doubt whether il
was the original knife or another one, is
beginning to perplex people here III regard
to the school Board Is it the Board elected
last summer, or is it another? That is a
pretty question for our debating society to
discuss.
But about that debating society and other
similar matters, more next week from
