EDITOR ADVANCE: In the Journal
dated November 25th, 1877, and pab-
1ished the LIST inst, your correspondent,
over the signature of Interested"
makes a statement in regard to Mr..
Mills management as District Treas
convey a wrong impression III regard to
wish to see this corrected. Your cor
respondent says: "A committee of
three was appointed to receive the
rreasurer's Report OH Monday at 10
O'Clock a. m.' He should have added
that Mr.. Mills came before the commit
tee 1T the appointed time and made an
exhibit Of his accounts and vouchers,
which, after being carefully examined,
were found to be correct and entirely
satisfactory and were so certified to by
the Committee and by the two other
members Of the School Board. And,
further, we wish to say that Mr.. Mills
is now in his fourth year acting as
that lie has made his reports promptly,
to, when he was unavoidably and unex-
pNSICNbJ NCLttlAVN LildtG
every farthing Of the money that has
come into his hands has been properly
and satisfactorily accounted for.
The Christian gentleman from Bige-
low further says, Mr.. Mills is always
ready to take every petty Office in town.
This we know to he false. Mills has,
to our own knowledge. each year de-
clined to he Il candidate for town office,
since the first year Of the township Or
ganization until last March, when lie
was elected Chairman of the Board of
Supervisors, with but one vote against
him. Without being consulted, he was,
in March, 1871, elected Justice, but de-
clned to serve.
The exemplary Christian gentleman
who penned the communication refer
red to knew these things to be as above
stated. He appears to have been inter-
ested only III deceiving those who were
not personally acquainted with Mr..
Mills, who, as the recent election has
clearly demonstrated, has the entire
confidence Of the voters OF this town,
with the exception Of Interested
and one or two Others who have u po-
litical interest in opposing him, Please
give this i place in your paper and very
much oblige,
