Town MEETING.-The annual town
meeting drew out good number of our
townspeople. though not as many as have
| been present on former occasions. There
was good feeling throughout and every
| thing passed of pleasantly. III. NJ. Nc
| Farland was chosen Moderator, q posi-
ton which he has acceptably filled for
a number of times. For Town Clerk,
| IL. Nj. Moves was selected without oppO-
sion. Henry has held this office for
about a dozen years and the unanlmlty
with which he is elected from year to
wear evidences that the town is satisfied
with him as its custodian of the public
records, OF the board of Selectmen, T..
NJ. Strong was unanimously reelected
as first member For second, ballOting
was necessary, the first ballot resulting
as follows: j. o. Reed, 81; A. NJ. Whit
comb, 40; scattering, :. Second ballot ::
Reed, 9S; Whitcomb. 54; scattering, z.
| For third. l.. +. Harrington, the former
member. had competitor in Amos
Davis (who was run against his WlSheS)
the ballot being, harrington, lO5; Davis,
"a. Amos is Il good citizen and at some
: future day Will probably be made Il Sc
lectman. But as North Hyde Park is
entitled to representative on the board.
it is very proper that Lawson be retained
, thereon. The new board is a strong
one and the town will have in it's mem
Eership trio of faithful public officials.
f For Treasurer, n. Y. Wiswell is again
! elected. - Honest Adna has proved to
be lust the man to take care of the pub
lie purse and so long as the towns funds
+ are placed in his hands they will he care
;. fully accounted for. For OverSeer of the
Poor, IL. e. Lanpher, having faithfully
served as ''yearllng," was allowed to
n become a tWO-year-Ol Herb has
I given a good account of his steward
ship, and while the expenses have been
kept remarkably low, every pauper has
= been we'll cared for. In this connection,
, we would call the attention of our
townspeOple to Overseer Lanphers re-
port for the past year. A detailed ac-
| count is given OF all The expenses OF each
4 town charge. The report of all the other
officers should also be carefully read and
the pamphlet preserved for future refer
= ence 1t is full of interesting matter
n pertaining to our town.
For Constable and Collector, S. d
Waite was reelected. Smith has proved
2 to be the right man in the right place,
and the town is willing to let vel
enough alone" l.. L. Butts was re.
elected I'd Constable.
OF the old board of Listers, II. G. Ian
y pher and J. G. Croker were reelected
For third Lister two ballots were neces
;. sary. the first resulting as follows: Geo
Nudgett, 50; Chas. Whitcomb, Al; f
n L. Sawyer, 81; scattering, Z. Seconc
u ballot: Mudgett, IA; Whitcomb, AZ
; Sawyer, %. Mr.. Mudgett declined u
serve. and ChaS. WhitcUmb was finally
;, elected. We have no doubt but TIN
u board will give good account of itself
!. The old board of Auditors were re
= elected, but C. S. Page declined to agaiI
serve. The new board is Ii. d. W. DOty
Geo. Gilmore, and DR.. Randall;
r. 5. Page WAS again elected IruSte'
}, of surplus Fund.
l.. p. Jackson, and F. L. Hill are agail
elected. Because they are tall, broad
e and short they appear to have no Oppose
ton as candidates for this office. W.
!. hope they will next year give the tow
"a report of their labOrs.
1t is evident that as Town Crane
J. Juror, H. A. Bailey gives satisfaction, a
:, lie was again elected to this office. MI
- Bailey is All honest, conscientious man
l. and does his duty without fear or favor
II For second Grand Juror, }. Z. Crocke
was elected but declined. The place wa
filled by the election of N ii. Robinson
IT Chas. Crane was elected Inspector o
