 The caucuses for nominating town of ficers may not be held this year earlier than usual, though they should be. Very little is said on the street about probable nomination as yet. Probably there will be many re-nominations. Incumbents oi the important offices, as selectmen, town clerk and assessors, when in office, and giving satisfaction, have, as they should have, a good hold upon the offices if they desire to keep them. The same is true of the collectorship. There are no justices to be chosen this year, unless it be deemed best to fill some of the vacancies caused by those chosen last year not having qualified.
 A. w. Walkers new cloak salesroom will be opened next Saturday. as per ad- vertisement elsewhere. The room is on the second floor of Oronoco Block and reached by an easy stairway from the store, 23x29 in size, and neatly finished in wood ceilings. The principal use of the room is for cloaks, and numerous frames are in place for showing these, while on the walls are pictures, shawls, etc., and on the floor is good display of rugs of all varieties, styles and prices. There are also tables ard shelves for other goods, though the main purpose is for a.cloak room. Here will be displayed wider range of choice in these garments than our people have been used to seeing at home, and if the pat ronage warrants the business will be ex- tended even farther. It is hoped that ev- cry cloak buyer will give Mr. Walker a chance to fit them out before going out of town.
