Ascutneyville held a caucus last Sat-
urday to decide on a line of action at
the coming town meeting.
DR.. Wilkinson, V. S., of Claremont
was called to doctor sick horse at
John Divoll's recently.
Mrs. Ora Newton formerly of this
town, is reported sick with grip at her
home in Charlestown, N. H.
Mrs. Nancy Hicks, who has been sick
with grip and pneumonia for several
weeks, has so far recovered as to be
about the house.
A. B. Going put out about 100 buckets
just before the late cold snap and made
pailful of nice maple syrup. But
sugaring is yet afar OF.
Last Saturday morning Myron Hicks
found one of his horses dead in the stall.
1t had been ailing for some time, but
death came unexpectedly.
William Litchfield has a sick child
under treatment by DR.. d. w. Hazelton
of Springfield. A council of physicians
was held there one day last week.
Greenbush noted Hon. Adna Browns
article in the Reporter of February 26,
and his allusion to their section of the
town and intend he shall hear from them
at the coming meeting in way to be re-
membered. Claremont, it is hoped, will
send a representative to talk up the mat
ter of free bridges, as influential parties
of that town have been invited to attend
to this matter in which all of eastern
Weathersfield as well as eastern Spring
field are more or less interested.
Deferred from last week.
&,,;e \;
years work in Fitchburg, Mass, re-
turned home last week Wednesday. He
stays here until April and then returns
to the same place in Fitchburg for an
other years work. Though he lost
nearly months time last year owing to
necessary absence on account of the
sickness and death of his brother, John,
his employers did not ask to have it made
up but paid him in full.
Voters, attention! The long delayed
special town meeting to consider the
matter of bonding the town in aid of the
Black River railroad is at last fact of
the near future. Such a meeting is
March 26. For hour of meeting and
warning at usual places. 1t is very i'm
meeting and be there early and be pre-
pared to stay late. This is farming
town and to-day ruled by fsrmer's
votes. then let all such be on hand pre-
pared to vote for their best interests or
forever after hold their peace. AS an
expression of the spirit and intention
of the managers of the Black River rail
road company so far this town is con-
cerned that article by its president which
appeared in the Springfield Reporter of
February 26 may be accepted as author
atative All farmers will readily recog-
nize the fact that the long-bodied COW
he speaks of has her head in Weathers-
field and we, as a people, have long been
feeding her, while Springfield has grown
fat on the milk. And the question now
is, virtually, shall we continue this
without some attempt to collect pay for
her keeping? Mr.. Brown says in effect
that Weathersfield must continue feed
| ing this COW but when the railroad comes
to his town we can have some of the
skim-milk by going there after it. Come
to the meeting, then, determined to
speak in this matter loud enough so Mr..
Brown and his company will hear and
understand that if when farmers ask a
favor it is lightly passed by as of no ac-
count, but they are in effect told that
their place is at the bottom and all other
indu stries must be boosted out of the
we'll at their expense, that youknow your
rights and will maintain them. Hasty
action of any kind at this meeting is to
be deprecated. Possibly something may
come up that will require time to de-
termine and adjournment to some
future date may be necessary. NJ. A. H.
