Town meeting was very near being a
dull affair, but when it came to Canada
thistles it frightened up. One citizen
thought the town ought to pay farmers
for cutting them down on their own
land. The clerk thought the appropri.
alton voted for would not cover the
cost, so citizen moved that we ask
Congress to give us an appropriation.

This spring has been characterized by
auction sales. We; have never known
so many to occur in SO short time in
Bristol as have been held this spring.
Every thing has brought fair price,

good price. =" -
There has been a big boom I'M real
estate in these parts lately. It reminds
one of Los Angeles, Call Price does not
appear to be much of an object, and any
farm worth less than $50 per acre il not
considered worth looking at. Nearly all
the, farms in the market have been
priced and bargained for, but somehow,
when the clinching point is reached in
a bargain, there will some: unexpected
contingency. arise to break up the deal.

the sale OF his farm in this way. The
tidal wave has reached its highest flow,
and present prospects indicate, that a
majority of the farmers in Bristol will
cultivate the old farm another year. )
