good numbers met last Friday even
ing at town hall and proceeded to
to business. G. W. Doty called the

ing Capt Kenfeld was chosen mod
orator for the evening and W. H.
Robinson clerk. Hon. p. X. Gleed,
Judge Powers and Hon. g. W. Hen
dee were respectively called for, and
each expressed a favorable opinion
of the project in hand, and explained
the many advantages to be derived.
The latter in closing his remarks
made the motion that the village ac-
cept and approve the act OF incorpO-
ration, which was carried by an al
most unanimous vote Then pro-
ceeding to organize, the following
officers were elected for the ensuing
year: Chairman, Capt. Frank Ken

ora Treas. A. NJ. Burke Asuggestion

Mrs. Jennie Riley, who has been in
Boston for a few weeks for surgical
treatment, returned home Wednes-
day evening somewhat improved in
health.
For the past few days the depot
has been an unusually lively place.
The cause of the activity being the
receipt of telegraphic news from all
parts of the State relative to the re-
suit of the caucuses held last Satur-
day. Station Agent True was fully
prepared for the event, having in ad-
dition to his regular telegraph oper-
ator, Fred Mayo. secured the services
of J. V. Dutton of Hardwick. not only
one of the best operators on the line,
but very genial and courteous
young man in all respects. Dutton
was kept busy until twelve O'Clock
Saturday night and again from three
p. m. to O'Clock Monday; during
the six latter hours receiving and
sending over $50 messages, besides
attending to railroad dispatches.
Ordinarily the work would be quite
laborous, but with a crowd of people
continually rushing in and asking
what's the latest the task must
have been very difficult and trying.
But 'EVernie" got there all the same.
One of the largest, if not the larg
est, caucuses ever held in this town
was that held last Saturday evening
for the purpose of electing delegates
to attend the State convention at

of the town committee. D. C. Smith,
of North Hyde Park, was elected
chairman and Y. A. Gilmore, Secre-
tary The names of Col. E. B. Saw
yer, H. NJ. Mcfarland, and l.. E.
Harrington were then presented by
S. B. Waite as delegates and on mo-
ton, elected unanimously, and by ac-
clamation The delegates were en-
to select their alternates and
while they were in consultation, Mr.. |
Page was called out and in a few
words thanked his townsmen for the
honor they had shown him in electing
without a dissenting voice a delega-
ton favorable to his candidacy. He
considered it a great compliment to
him, and whether he received the
for Governor or not |
would cherish this as one of the pleas
ant events of his life. The alternates
selected were R. w. HuIburd, F. R.
Child, and c. NJ Gray. The caucus
then ended amid much enthusiasm.
