Some of our esteemed CO respondents
must have slept over Saturday morning.

the local side of paper in four hours.
If the omission of a certain batch of

cur in every village every few years.
The town auditors are getting out a
very excellent town report which will be
distributed during the week. The report
is more full than usual and it should be
carefully studied by every voter. The re-
suit shows an economical administration
on the part of the town officers the past
year. They will be ready for distribution
on Tuesday, and may be obtained at the
three post-offices in town or of H. X.
Dewey or d. C. French.
If those whose business it is to keep
the roads of the town open for travel
fair ground Saturday forenoon they
could have seen some West Glover and
Albany people stuck in the snow drifts.
The Glover men dug through after a
while and let the procession move on.
If the people over that way were in the
habit OF swearing, we fear the command
ments would get broken once in a while.
That road has been bad and ought to be
dug out and rolled. If people from 9TH
er towns come to this village to do bust
ness it is poor policy to neglect the roads
leading here.
