soon as John II. Barber steps up to the
"Captain's" Office and swears to uphold
the dignity OF the State.

PsIisrd's Scalp.
| Well, IL Pollard was successful In re-
moving Town Sergeant Keone, the Coun-
Gil evidently considered Pollard's state
ment OF last year that he would 20 to
Canada and secure evidence OF Keene's
Canadian birth. Pollard has not kept bis

upon the suggestion OF James II. Andrews

| Town Treasurer was ordered to sign the
notes for the purchase OF land on Ions
dale avenue for sewerage purposes on mo-
