The patrons of the Powers cheese fac
tory met at the Town hall Monday evening,
March 6, to hear reports of the officers for
the past year, and to choose new board.
The meeting was called to order by Edwin
Congdon. a. ID. Smith was chosen mode
orator. The secretarys report was called
for and read, which was very satisfactory
to the patrons, showing that the directors
had been successful in all of their efforts to
promote the interests of all concered. The
report shows the net proceeds per 100
pounds of milk to be 100 cents and three
mills. Nj. B. Williams being present,
made a proposition to make their cheese
the coming season at one and three-fourths
cents per pound, provided he could have
the milk of 80 cows. The proposal being
satisfactory, the meeting proceeded to elect
their officers as follows, viz:
A. d. Smith, president; Joseph Fuller,
Thomas Brown and Seneca Smith, direc-
tors; Edwin Congdon secretary and treas.
urer. The directors propose to commence
making cheeae the 10Th of April and close
about the middle of October T.

The death of Deacon Asahel II. Kidder,
which occurred very suddenly on the morn
ing of Feb. 9th, was loss which will
long be severely felt in Fairhaven. Mr..
Kidder was prominent citizen, respected
by all who knew him. In 1894 he rep
resented the town i'll the legislature. For
more than twenty years he has been dea-
con in the Congregational church. His
connection with the church occurred while
Rev. Amos Drury was pastor. He was
man of great physical strength and endur
ance, and his sudden death could hardly be
realized by the community. A slight blow
upon the head. of which he thought moth
ing at the time, increased until the pain
became almost uncomfortable. A physician
was then called, but before any relief
could be administered, he died. p.

While am writing the beautiful snow
is becoming beautifully less upon the hill
sides, and the brown fields are every where
pushing their faces into view. Welcome
land, as Columbus did, 80 do we, welcome
land, even brown land, If it must be. And
yet snow affords our people nice time to
clip some logs into the mill, and some cord
wood into market. And the last run of
eleighing has been well improved in this
way.
Albert Odell, esq, who became so chilled
a few days ago, had been twice to Castle
ton with cord wood on that day. lie Is
now doing finely and is expected to be out
again soon. DR.. Sanford has fine repu-
taton of performing wonderful cures,
almost miraculous. And certainly this
reputation is well founded. and as he has
been the attending physician, we expect
to see our old neighbor home again.
Mrs. +. G. Gault seems yet to enjoy poor
health, for poor health is better than none.
Her rides have been discontinued.

The smoke having lifted from the field
wherein was contested the issues involved
in our annual March meeting, we are en-
abled to predicate a rough guess in regard
to the actual number of the dead and
wounded, the result being that the number
OF such is far less than good many ante
ipated before the engagement commenced.
Our "farmer board" of selectmen 'hold
over" and although they move quite eau
tiously, and, as some think, rather slowly,
yet they manage to comprehend what they
have been doing through the year, and
don't intend to leave more than dozen or
fifteen openings large enough to drive a
yoke of oxen through without being able TO
explain somewhere near how they hap
pened. a
