The Trustees and Mr.. Sturges, the
agent for the Aqueduct Co., have re-
quested all citizens to refrain from
using hose for lawns, gardens and
the street during the present exceed
ingiy dry time. Through the kind
ness of H. M. Gordon, the sprinkler
has been filed of late at the pulp
mill.
No particular progress can be re-
ported this week concerning electric
lights. The committee will have its
hands full for a few days with the nu-
merous electrical engineers who are
coming in thick and fast. A grand
opportunity to ".figger " is thus af-
forded, but matters will take shape
soon.
1t causes that same extreme tired
feeling when the ball game between
the Johnsons and Morrisville's here
last Thursday is referred to. The
score only run up to II to 20 in ia
vor of Johnson. No particular ex-
cuse can be offered this time except
that the home team were decidedly
not in it.
Rev. DR.. Booth went to st. Johns
bury Tuesday and will preach there
to-day in connection with the State
Universalist Convention. The SER
vices in the Universalist church here
will necessarily be omitted longer
than at first thought, especially if
the interior of the building is to be
frescoed or papered, as is now con-
templated.
C. c. Warren of the Aqueduct Co.
was in town last week and shut off
the supply of water for the railroad
tank, because of the dry time now
being experienced. Mr.. Warren also
bought of &. W. Currier piece of
land on his farm on higher ground
than the present site, with the ex-
pressed purpose of building a large
reservoir at once.
G. f. Smiths name, as the Republ
lican nominee for town Representa-
tive, is the only officially filed nomi-
nation as candidate that can ap-
pear on a regular printed ballot next
Tuesday. Take time enough during
the day to run in and vote. 1t won t
take long, and the throwing of one
ballot for each of the nominees you
wish to vote for will tell the story
When the box is turned, what shall
the harvest be?
The Democratic caucus held last
Saturday had E. H. Cady for chair
man and CD. Slayton for clerk. j. j.
Billings was the gentleman selected
as the party candidate for town Rep
resentative. The nomination was
not properly filed in the town clerk s
office, therefore there can be no Off
cially printed ballot to be voted next
Tuesday. AS required by law the
nomination should have been filed
before twelve O'Clock last Saturday
night.
At the special town meeting held
Saturday afternoon the attendance
was slight and the business very soon
completed. l. N. LeBaron was mod
orator pro tenn. The Board of School
Directors were instructed to secure a
suitable site and build a new school
house in District No. 9, the same to
be completed in time for the winter
term. This is still further evidence
that it is not the desire of Norris
towns intelligent voters to begin a
niggardly economy in connection
with the management of the schools.
AS a village we now have a lookup
that will cool off the most hilarious
jag, and without doubt contine Sc
curely the most desperate of charac-
ters. 1t is all iron cage of two COM
partments and cost the corporation
in the vicinity of $500. After look
ing over several places that have
been proposed for the location of the
cage, the Trustees have decided to
build a small building for the purpose
in the rear of town hall, constructed
in such a way as to be easily drawn
away if the town hall should be
moved back or added to. There are
two berths in each compartment of
the cage, giving a capacity for four
prisoners. This is hailed as one of
the best moves the village has made
in some time.
Next Tuesday, Sept. 4, is the day
when every voter in the town of Nor
ristown should take a few moments
off, and vote. Let us see how near
our full voting strength we can poll.
Come out and cast vote for your
candidates for State, District, County
and Town nominees, whoever they
are. Morristown has, it is safe to
say, 700 Republican voters in the to-
tai $40 or more voters in town. Our
delegation to County, District and
State conventions two years hence
will be dependent, as far as numbers
are concerned, upon the Republican
votes cast for Governor. If we can
get 551 of the 700 Republican voters
out, then our State AID District dele
CATION will be increased from 5 to z,
