Town meeting was well attended and
one of the most lively we have had for
many years. Some changes were made in
the town officers. Although somewhat
"noisy" the best OF feelings prevailed, Gud
the monrners few 10 number Some effort
was made to change the town clerks Of
| flee, but G. Williams was reelected by
vote of l15 to 81 for g. X. Bucklin. Mr..
| G. IL. Congdon, who has served for many
years as moderator, was elected to that
position again, and is well adapted to that
capacity, as 1t required at this meeting
man with good pair of lungs, and some
knowledge of the law which governs and
regulates our annual meetings.
The report of the selectmen was read by
]. N. Phillips and showed that the affairs
of the town had been managed very pru-
IDENTIFY and economically. The auditors re-
port read by A. s. Baker was one of the
most thorough we have had for many
years. The overseer's report by @. G.
Herrick was also good one, and showed
good management in that department. The
report of town superintendent OF schools
read by ID. w. Rogers was interesting and
full of valuable suggestions.
j. N. Phillips was unanimously elected
first selectman for the fourth time, having
shown himself highly efficient and capa-
bic officer. The other two members are
l.. G. Paris and j. E. Nichols, making
good board. G. G. Herrick was also
unanimously chosen overseer of the poor
having held that position for six or seven
years. The listers are all new ones and
are young men of good ability and well
fitted for the position They are j. w.
Kelley, Caleb Paris and Brastus Kelley.

and f. b. Hawley.
G. G. Herrick, who has served as con-
stable and collector for the past three years,
was unanimously reelected as was also
the town treasurer, j. q. Williams. The
new superintendent of schools, A. :.
Baker, has occupied that position hereto
fore, and isan excellent one. Some changes
were also made in the other officers from
last year. The auditors report showed
that the town was indebted in the sum Of
S357.74, which is considerably smaller
than for some time. A Tax of only % cents
was voted. We have withal good set of
town officers, and 1t is hoped the affairs
will be managed as economically and prl-
IDENTIFY for the year to come as for the year
past. The treasurer hsd received "a 1874 IA
