The Wolcott Dramatic Club will
play "Dot the Miners Daughter" at
town hall, March, 9. 1t will conclude
with a farce, entitled "Don't Judge
by Appearances This has been
played with success and acceptance
and comes to us well recommended,
and is worthy the patronage of the
best society. 1t is earnestly desired
that there be full house, as the pro-
ceeds go for church purposes.
The selectmen have gotten out a
very excellent report of the financial
condition of the town, from which we
gather the following facts: Balance
reported in treasurer's hands Feb. IS,
1892, $9OS.44. In treasurers hands
Feb. IS, 1898, $774.09, The selectmen
expended last year on the highways
$1895,73 and paid out for all purposes
$4691.35. 1t cost to roll the roads
$481.96. The overseer expended for
the support of the poor outside the
farm, $370.7S, and the cost on the
farm was $3S3.5O, making the total
cost not to include interest on the
town property $700.2S. The net gain
on the sale of liquors at the agency
was S58.25. The selectmen have been
looking up the matter of outstanding
orders and find orders out and
unpaid amounting to S36O9. OS.
This leaves the town in debt about
$4,000. There ought to be means taken
at once to find and take up the old
orders, some of which have been
standing several years.
