l. \. LeBaron recently invited the
school to feast of new sugar at his
place. Excellent sugar and general
good time was reported. We were re-
quested to say as much last week, but
the item was overlooked.
The new clothing spoken of last
week as just received at Gilbert's, is
unpacked and ready for inspection.
The stock comprises not only clothing
for old and middle aged, bat all of the
new and tasty styles for youths and
children.
Z. J. Durham moves into the J. G.
Noyes stand this week. He proposes

able Read his advertisement and
then drop in and see him.

ED to raise % cents Oh the dollar of
grand list, to defray expenses and pay

At town meeting held on Saturday
last, II. d. Bryant was elected lister,
to supply the vacancy caused by the
resignation of p. X. Gleed. Z. +.
Brigham was chosen collector, and L.
B. Boynton, constable. 1t is our
@ndid judgment that there were as
many as a dozen of the tax payers
present. Good men were chosen for
the vacancies, bat that doesn't always
follow where the election is left in the
hands of few, and those who pay
the taxes and carry the load could not
have found fault if job had been
put up at this time. The attendance
would probably have been larger had
the meeting been called at one o'clock
as it should have been, as many
thought it was, yet we think with the
exception of Judge Waterman, Capt,
Rand and one or two others, none
learned to the contrary by coming out.
Elisha wasn't present, consequently |
we didn't learn whether he would de-
cline the full 500 or not.
