job on the village cemetery, by repairing
fences, cutting away the bushes and
grading and seeding down the new part
of the enclosure. Much work is needed
in the old part of the ground, and those
having lots there are requested to see to
them, or to advise with the selectmen in
regard to certain proposed improvements.
We made, as we supposed, ample ar
engagements for obtaining election re-
ports from every town in the county,
intending to give a detailed vote for
every Office. but few towns failed to
report, and we postpone the matter.
The county ticket vote was not quite as
large as the governor vote, but will
vary but little from 1900 majority on
the republican side.
The following are the officers elected
in Orleans County. They received a
majority of 1900: Elisha Lane, Derby,
James Brown, Lowell, senators: N. G.
Hoyt, West6eld, S. R. Fletcher. Hol-
land, asst judges Fred W. Baldwin,
Barton, states attorney l.. H. Thomp-
son, Irasburgh, judge of probate; Abb
ma G. BOwley, Newport, sheriff; E. G.
Rowell. Albany, bailiff.
The fire engine recently purchased
was tested on Tuesday and showed ex-
cellent working qualities. Without any
difficulty, water was thrown through 200
feet of hose to height of from ten to
twenty feet above the top of the Con-
gregational church spire. All parts
of the machine work perfectly. Five
hundred feet of hose have been purchas-
ed, and all other necessary things for
the successful operation of the engine
are provided. The trustees are trying
to make purchase of suitable site for
the erection of an engine house. A fire
company has been organized and is drill
ling to make themselves efficient in the
use of the engine and fire apparatus.
Now, with two or three cisterns built,
all parts of the village may be defended
against fire by the engine.
