different sections outside the village.
j. NJ. Campbe!l's name is mentioned
for member of the board, and if it
should be seconded by the voters, the
selection would be an excellent one.
Geo. EEL. Terrill, a progressive young
farmer, is an available man from the
north side of the town. He would
take an active interest in the work if
elected.
The care of the roads will go from

sloner and the election of this official
is of much Importance [. N. LeBar-
ron is perhaps the most prominently
mentioned in this connection. He is
well qualified for the work and would
make an excellent Commissioner,
thorough in all the details of the
work. G. A. Barrows has been spO-
ken of, but we understand that he
would prefer to remain in charge OF
the corporation streets. A. B. Smith
and Oscar Sherwin are mentioned
also, as is James Jewett.
In regard TO the long list Of officials
not here mentioned nothing of special
interest is known, other than that
Elisha is pretty confident of a solid
backing, and A. E. Welch is distanc-
ing the field for first position on the
fence-viewing board.
Above all else let there be harmony
when it comes to the meeting. This
will result in more careful choice
and the wisest action.
