IT is suggested by the Brattleboro Re-
former that visit from the temperance
women at the Windham county conven-
ton is what "rattled" the Democrats so
that they forgot to file its nominations
with the County Clerk. The W. G. I.
L. of that county should become non
partisan, like the Bennington Union, and
so avoid such sad occurrence in the fu-
ture.
THE prompt response made by our
Fire Department to an alarm or appear
ance of fire, was illustrated last evening.
The Stark boys were singing on the porch
in front of the second story of their
house on Pleasant street, and in the
midst of an impassioned period, a blaze
rose up over Cromack's barn. The mus
ic stopped, and rush was made to see
the cause. Charles Form had set bon
fire of paper in front of his Chinese
laundry on North street-hence the
flames. Quite an audience on the street
gathered to hear the singing, and were
nearly run over in the scramble to get
there first"
THE Free Press calls attention, apro-
pos to the neglect in State and County
tickets to comply with our election law,
to the town tickets, as follows: Ere
publican town committees should note
representatives must be filed with Town
Clerks not more than twenty days nor
less than ten days previous to the day of
election, and that caucuses can be held
not later than Friday, August oath, with
out great risk of failure to. file nomina-
tions in time. Where caucuSes are held
Saturday evening, August 25th, the NOM
nations must be filed Immediately that
evening, or the names cannot be printed
on the ballots"
