COUNTY CONVENTION.
Loyal Temperance Legion in SEES.
sion at Newfane.

The fifth annual convention of the
Windham county Loyal Temperance
legion was held in the Congregational
church at Newfane. Wednesday, Au-
gust l. Good weather favored delight
full rides by car and carriage which
brought together a large number Of
young people with a good sprinkling of
older ones for the opening session.
Busy hands and buster brains had done
faithful work before the arrival of out
of town visitors. Flowers of varied hue
were banked high in the space back of
the pulpit while above them was the
motto "From Contest to Conquest,
Long Live Demorest." On opposite
walls were the significant expressions
"The Present is Yours" "The Future
is Ours" Six companies were repre-
santed, Jamaica, Townshend, Grafton,
Canlbridgeport, West Wardsboro and
Newfane. Large delegations were also
present from the Brookline and Towns
bend Sunday schools which with the
general attendance from Newfane and
neighboring towns made an audience
which must have been very gratifying
to the young people.
After depositing lunch boxes and
wraps in the hall and attending to the
vigorous brushing which the accumula-
ted dust of long rides demanded, the
companies marched with their banners
to the church.
Mrs. E. A. Kenyon of Townshend,
county and state superintendent of l..
II. l.. work, called the convention to
order when scripture was read by Miss
Miller of Newfane and prayer offered
by Rev. G. d. r. Meacham of Towns
bend. Greetings were then exchanged,
Miss Inez Westcott speaking for New
fame and Miss Matte Cheney of jana
lea responding for the county organiza-
ton. The county president, Miss Amy
Perry of West Wardsboro and county
secretary, Carleton Howe of Newfane
presided over the routine work of the
convention. One member of each com.
pany was elected to serve on the nomi.
mating and resolutions committee re-
spectively and two members of the
Newfane union as credential commit.

FIGHTING FOR OFFICE.
Candidates for the Postmastership

The ten days allowed candidates for
the postoffice to prepare new petitions
expired last Saturday, and the two
rivals, G. w. Butterfield and Alfred
Dow, sent their lists to the Democratic
county committee. Yesterday there
was hearing on the matter at Brattle-
boro, and both candidates were on the
ground. From the best information
that can be obtained it appears that
Mr.. Butterfield repudiated his agree
ment made July 10 that the matter
should be settled by new petitions, and
withdrew his new petition. He also
replevined his old petition, which he
had given to the county committee
several weeks ago, and the sheriff had
to break open F. J. Holman's desk to
get it, as the key was missing. The
ownership of this petition will be de-
cided in the county court, as the writ
of replevin is returnable there. 1t is
understood that the county committee
have decided to endorse Mr. Dow's pc
tition and send it along to Washington.
The statement that was circulated about
the streets last evening that Mr.. Butter
field has given up the fight must be
premature, as his action in asking for
the old petition seems TO indicate that
he has not yet given up hopes of secur-
ing the office. The matter will undoubt-
| edly be decided sometime, but it i s
pretty warm just now to be actively in
terested in such things.
