The attendance at town meeting was
large. Littleinterest however, seemed
to be manifested in the names pre- |
scented for the several town offices, no
ballot being required for any of the
candidates, very remarkable event.
For Moderator, Geo. L. Waterman,
who has so many times filled this po-
sition, was elected unanimously,as was
also H. NJ. Noyes for Town Clerk,
this being his seventh election. A.
P. Smalley was elected First Select
man. He wished to be excused, but
the meeting declined to do so. For
Second Selectman, John Billiard re-
ceived reelection. lara Griswold
was elected as third. The board is a
good one. and we have no doubt will
give a good account of their work at
the next annual meeting. A. V.
Wiswell, who has so acceptably filled
the office of Treasurer, was again
elected to that position. AS Treasurer
"Adna" gives excellent satisfaction.
He is "the right man in the right
place. For the office of Overseer of
the Poor, Fred Bliss was put in nomi-
nation, and elected almost unanimous
", but one person voting against him.
Fred wears broad smile Alonzo Cob
leigh, the present First Constable and
Collector, is again honored with re-
election, which indicates that he ac-
ceptably fills the place. Porter Butts
of No. Hyde Park was elected Second
Constable. For Listers, j. c. Crock
er, R. p. Campbell and Albert Whit
comb were elected. All we believe
= have served in this capacity before,
and no doubt will honorably discharge
their duties. Judge Page, V. d. Fitch
, and C.. +. Randall were honored with
positions on the board of Auditors.
! Mr.. Page is also again elected Trustee
of Surplus Fund. The usual amount
of fun was INDUCED in in the selection
= of Fence Viewers, @. l.. Waterman,
= W. B. Crowell and Ii. e. Lanphel
were elected-the two latter are re-
: elected, which proves they have ae-
ceptably discharged their duties. Fol-
Town Grand Jurors, Ii. j. Lilley and
&c. G.. Ferry were elected. Mr.. Ferry
;, declined to serve, as did also James c.
/, Croker and Joseph Foss. Samue
