February 2J.-Winter seems to have
got here at last, and has put in some
good work for the past few days.
We understood that Napoleon RIOS
scau who has applied for n patent on
his fire escape, has been offered $40
600 for Il one half interest in it.
The annual town meeting is close at
hand, and We suppose it will be the
same this year as here tOfOre, voters
will neglect TO take interest enough in
town affairs to attend the meeting
and see that the interests OF the town,
and their own interests are looked
after, and only wake up to the matter
when asked for their taxes, and won
der where the money raised tor town
expenses goes to. They will find fault
that the highways (Which are and
have been for the past year in dis
graceful condition) are not better
cared for. ignoring the fact that the
time to provide for this matter is the
first Tuesday in March, by seeing that
the proper men are elected TO have
charge OF the highways, men who
appreciate that one dollar expended
in repairs before the first OF June is
worth ten after the first OF November.
And what Is trHe in this matter OF
highways is true in principle Of every
town interest. How would it. work 10
get out for once and do up the fault
finding in one day, making it unneces
sary for the remaining days OF the
