The warnings for town meetings

quired by law. A perusal of them re-

Commencing to-day wednesday,
the northern stage will not leave here
until morning, returning the same
evening. While this arrangement

the northern villages received
their Boston and other mail the
same day. The new arrangement de-
lays this until the next day. The
postal service is for the benefit of
the people and the villages above
mentioned are entitled to the best
facilities that can be made.

is necessary that the organization
be perfected and the club enter at
once upon the work of the campaign.
There is already much enthusiasm
among the Republicans throughout
the state, and the Republicans of this
town can show their interest in no
better way than by being present at
this meeting The young men are
earnestly requested to attend.
