O. d. Owen has leased of Mrs.
Stone the store known as the Steb-
bins store, and proposes to put in
first class stock Of clothing, furnish
ing goods, hats and caps. The store
is to be enlarged by finishing in the
veranda and taking in the room form
lily used for millinery shop. It
will have a new veranda and a new
front, and will be finished throughout
in modern manner with birch and
ash. Fred N. Cheney, the popular
clerk at O. D. Owens for the past
five years, will have charge of this
branch of the business. Edward
Barnard does the job, and has al
ready commenced work. This store
when finished will supply a want
long felt in this vicinity.
Mr.. Editor AS town meeting day
draws near there is naturally some talk
among the people as to who shall be our
officers for the coming year. l wish here
only to call public attention to one office
that of town clerk. Our present clerk
has held the office for many years, and
has been an accommodating and efficient
officer, and there is perhaps but one good
and sufficient reason why any objection is
made to his reelection, and that is the
inffrmities of age and the consequent ne
cessity Of the Office being closed a good
part of the time, which is a source of
much inconvenience. as many who have
business to transact there can testify. So
far as the honor, to Mr.. g., of another
election is concerned, there is none; and
so far as dollars and cents are concerned,
there would be no loss. There are many
persons in this village, and more outside,
that would like to see a change in this
office. The name Of S. c. Currier has
been mentioned as a suitable successor,
if the people should think best to elect a
new man. He is conveniently located, is
an accommodating and capable man for
the place and could always be found when
wanted. Why not make Mr.. Currier
town clerk? A CITIZEN
