a Good Days Work for the Peo-
pie.


The County Board, at It's meeting
last week, vacated the Town of Rem
lngten, and annexed 8 portion of It's
territory, including that portion which
Includes the Village Of Remington.
to the Town Of Dexter. Other portions
Of the Town were annexed to other
Towns, as were also portions of the
Town OF Dexter, SO that Dexter, as
now constituted, Includes considerably
less than the territory which made up
Remington and Dexter, previous to the
change made by the County Board at
the February meeting.
This action by the County Board is
especially commendable for the reason
that it puts into one Town, and thus
to some extent neutralizes the evil in
fuence of both, two factions, or inter
ests, either Of which when left to con-
troll a separate town organization, does
not fail to prey upon all within reach
that is at all valuable. There are
quite number Of good citizens in the
territory which composed the Town of
Remington, who will dislike the change
for the reason that they will be obliged
to 20 much further to vote and they
may be slow to see why it is not as
well for them to be plucked by Rem
ington as by Hiles. To those we say,
that 50 long as that vast territory is
so sparsely settled, those of you who
reside within it must be subjected to
more or less inconvenience and it is
best that you, as a whole, be subjected
to the rapacity of one thief than two
Especially, as when one Of them is
deprived Of his plumber he will be the
more willing that the other shall be
deprived Of his. We have great hope
that the time is not very far in the fu-
ture when the influences that have hith-
erto controlled that territory, and swal-
lowed the proceeds of its every re-
source, frequently with a lawlessness
that would have startled even Boss
Tweed, will be obliged to give way to
the rule of class OF men, gradually
settling in there, who have some inter
ests and principles in common with the
general welfare. We shall then expect,
what has never yet transpired since
Hiles or Remington had control over
