We were glad to notice the large at
tendance at the special town meeting last
Monday. 1t betokened livclier interest
in the welfare of the town than we have
seen manifested for some time past The
business was promptly disposed of,
and what is more to the point, not a
single voice was heard i'll opposition to
the project for which the meeting was
warned, nor was there vote recorded
against it. Such unanimity is pleasant
to contemplate. Gov. Dale was Mod
orator.
Article in the warning was taken up,
when Judge Storrs proposed That it is
the sense of this meeting that public
building, such as is. described in the
warning will be for the public good"
This motion was seconded by Col. Man
sur and carried unanimously.
The next motion with reference to article
2, That the town erect such building,
described in the warning, and for the
purpose therein named" was also ad-
opted unanimously.
When the third article came up for
consideration, Col. Mansur presented
this motion: THAT the town raise a
sum not to exceed S12, 500 for the pur-
poses hereinbefore mentioned, and to
raise this amount by coupon town bonds,
to be signed by the selectmen, aging Il
semi annual interest at the lowest posi-
BILE rate of interest per annum, and re-
deemable at the option of the town after
ten years and before twenty years.
This motion, too, was carried unani
mousy.
Three commissioners, Messrs. II. E.
Fitzgerald, G. Z. Clarke, and f. M. Dun
bar, were next elected. 1t is their duty
to prepare a book and procure the
signatures of taxpayers and amount Of
their list as provided by law, and to
procure all necessary records of the same
A finance committee, consisting Of
Messrs z. M. Mansur, +. {. Robinson
and A. K. Darling, was elected, whose
duty is to procure bonds, and obtain the
signatures of the selcctmen thereto. To
contract to let the parties who shall oc
cupy said buildings have the free use Of
the same so long as they shall use it for
the purposes specified, under conditions
agreed to.
Next came the election of a building
committee, and Messrs. Geo. H. Fitzger-
aid. Geo. L. Horr, and II. Z. Randall
were elected. Their duty is to make all
contracts for the erection of said build
ings, to procure plans and specifications
of the same, to oversee the work. and re-
mort to the town at regular or special
town meeting.
Article a was quickly disposed Of for
the town promptly and again unanl-
mously voted to exempt the buildings
hereinbefore described, the capital, stock
used in operating the same, and the ma
chinery which shall be used therein, from
taxation for ten years from and after
April 1, 1898. The business OF the meet
ing being thus concluded the Commls'
sioners were on hand with book for the
signatures of taxpayers, and many
awaited themselves Of the opportunity TO
sign it,

Island Pond seems to be evincing more
interest in religious matters this week
than it has before for several years. At
the Congregational Church revival meet
ings are being held, and at the NJ. Z.
Church the Week of Prayer" is being
observed. The meetings at both churches
are largely attended, and the efforts OF
the pastors seem to have stirred up quite
a religious awakening.

There will be many people of Island
Pond, and in fact all along the line OF he
Grand Trunk between here and Portland,
who will learn with regret of the death
of"Gard" Wilson, many years one of the
most popular drummers that ever came
to Island Pond, but lately connected with
an hotel in Maine. His body was taken
from the water at Prison Point bridge,
Boston, last Saturday. and money and
other valuables that he was known to
have in his possession arc missing. 1t is
feared that he was drugged and robbed
while in Boston, and that he walked off
the bridge the evening previous while
in a dazed condition. 1t is to be hoped
that the mystery surrounding his death
may be cleared up, and ifthe surmises are
true that the perpetrators may meet
with a prompt punishment.

All lovers of music should make their
arrangements to attend the convention
OF the Orleans County Musical Associa-
ton To be held in the new Lane Opera
House, Newport, Vt, January 10, 4, II
and Is, 1898. The talent engaged is by
far the finest ever brought to that county
and it is confidently expected that the
convention will excel all former efforts
OF this association. Blaisdell's Orchestra
is too well-known to require mention in
the way of praise. Mrs. Shepard,
whom everyone knows and admires, will
be present as usual. Mr. ID. NJ. BabcOck
the basso, is one OF the finest, if not the
finest, in New England, and it is only at
rare intervals that our people have an
opportunity OF hearing artists OF his
stamp. The other talent, Miss Hamlin,
soprano, Mr.. Cushman, tenor, and Miss
Hard, clocutionist, are all of the first
rank i'll their profession and the COM
mittce feel that they are to be congratu-
lated on securing so high II class of
artists. The Convention is to be he finest
thing oil the kind ever attempted by the
association, and all who possibly can
should avail themselves of this opportu-
nifty OF hearing some of The finest artists
i'll New England, and OF the benefit of the
drill which can be had nowhere else.
Course tickets may be had at Homer
Thrasher's store after January l. and at
the door during the Convention. For
