The inclement weather prevented
the holding of the Camp Fire at Eden
Mills, last Friday evening, as was pro-
posed by Aaron Keller Post, G. A.
R. Next Friday evening, March 5,
Camp Fire will be held at the same
place, under the same auspices, with
the same programme as announced
for last week. Turn out and give the
Vets. a good "send off,"
The weather the past week has beat
any of its previous records for the
present winter. Boreas has had right
of way, and an unceasing gale has
prevailed for several days. The roads
are badly drifted and travel greatly
imPeded. The northern stage has
been able to reach it's destination
enthusiastically" and trains have
been considerably delayed.
Town MEETING. = The inclement
weather and badly drifted roads were
the means of keeping a large number
from attending Town Meeting Tues
day. Nevertheless there was a fair
attendance and everything passed off
pleasantly, but one ballot being called
for in the election of the several Off
GERS. H. NJ. Mcfarland was chosen
Moderator. HI. Nj. Moves was elected
Town Clerk and enters upon his ninth
year in that capacity. W. G. Max
field was reelected First Selectman
and we think we are right when we
state that Mr.. MaXfield has executed
the duties of the office the past year
in careful and economical manner.
For Second Selectman, Joseph Foss |
of No. Hyde Park was reelected |
unanimously but he subsequently de-
clined to serve, and ,. w. Kinds was
elected to the place. 0. S. Spaulding
again takes the position as Third
Selectman and will lend grace and dig
nifty to the board. A. V. Wisweil, |
("Honest Adna") was again called
TO serve as Treasurer, and, as they |
say, this is the only fat office il Town,
Adna Tor anybody else) would not
decline it. Seriously, Adna makes a
good Treasurer. Every account is
kept in good shape, and the taxpayer
may at any time learn the condition
of the Treasurer's affairs at glance |
at his books. For Oyerseer of the |
Poor there was a little commotion.
That Mr.. Bliss is not acceptable to
all the towns-Ee ople is patent. So an
effort was made TO put him on the
shelf" Isaac Vaughan was brought
out as an opposing candidate; but
the grooming was not successfully
done, and Fred went in at twO-to-one
gate, being elected by vote of IA to
35. For First Constable and Collect
or there was considerable difficulty in
getting anyone to accept the office.
The fact that there is large sum be-
hind on the late Mr.. Cohleigh's bills,
makes it rather unpleasant collecting.
C.. Ii. Lilly was elected but declined,
as did also G. Ii. Bliss and /. 0. An
drews. Smith b. Waite was finally
elected and prevailed on to accept.
Smith will make good Collector, and
delinquents will do well to look out
for him. For End Constable L. p.
Butts of No. Hyde Park is reelected.
The Constables were given the juris- |
diction of the State.
For Listers Ii. C. Lanpher, J. G.. |
Croker and V. A. Gilmore, were
chosen-the two former teing re-
elections. J. H. Gray former List
er declined serving again. 1t is a
good board and will do it's work
correctly. For Auditors L. E. Har
ringion, David Randall and Waldo
Brigham were elected. DIR. Randall
is the new member of the board. r.
). Page WI s again chosen Trustee
of Surplus Fund. For the important
office of Fence Viewers, o. S. Spauld-
ing, /. o. Andrews and l.. p. jackson
> were elected. What the former can't
step over, the second crawl under,
, and the latter break down, will proba-
bly, be legal as regards fences. They
are all honorable gentlemen and any
> serious question they may be called
upon to settle we are sure will be
settled without fear or favor. Henry
p A. Bailey and d. G. Smith were re-
Q elected Town Grand Jurors without
p opposition, which is an indication
' that they have very acceptably filled
+ the offices. For Inspector of Leather
. and Inspector Of Lumber and Shingles
Charles Crane and NJ. p. Cheney were
elected for the 10Th time-more or
less-and it will be useless for any
body else TO seek this office so long as
these men are in the field.
The matter of Road Commissioners
was discussed, and two Commission
!, ers were elected, after which the meet
ing thought best to excuse them and
left the highway business in the hands
of the Selectmen. 1t was voted to
raise highway tax of 20 cents on the
l. dollar, payable in labor. Waldo
;. Brigham will again act as Agent for
> the Town.
7. A tax of 120 cents on the dollar
). was voted to pay current expenses,
! and 81 900 on the bonded debt. The
Seectmen and Auditors were in
structed to give detailed statement
l. of the accounts of the respective
offices in the next Annual Report.
T. The vote on the Town System of
schools was very light, there being
:. 80 noes and 8 yeas, against 10 noes
:, and IL yeas of last year. r. w.
q Hulburd was elected Superintendent
Is of Schools without opposition. The
meeting voted to pay DIR. Petty the
