Walter Gilbert of st. Johnsbury
was in town over Sunday. While
Walter is well pleased with his new
position in st. Johnsbury the coy
maidens of that place have no charm
for him. Lamoille county damsels
have full sway with his affections.
G. H. Crane has made some very
fine improvements in the interior of
his store by repainting and fixing up
generally. This, together with his
excellent stock of goods, makes his
establishment as good as any in the
county. Bert is natural born mer-
chant and has a large and growing
trade.
The winter term at the Academy
closes next Tuesday. Monday evening
public lyceum will be held, at which
the question, "Resolved, that Canada
ought to be annexed to the United
States" will be discussed. There
will also be music, recitations, ETC.,
and we are assured the public will be
given fine entertainment. An ad.
mission fee of Is cents will be charg-
ed, proceeds to be used in purchasing
singing books for the school.
The Washingtonian sociabe at the
vestry Tuesday evening was success
in every particular, A bountiuI
supper was served from ) to s, after
which literary and musical exercises
appropriate to the occasion were
rendered. Short addresses were also
made by several. 1t was a very
pleasant occasion and besides good
financial results a most enjoyable
evenings entertainment was given,
for which the ladies in charge are
worthy of much credit,
Town Politics.
Town politics are warming up and
Indications now are that there will
be unusual interest in the coming
town meeting. There are any amount
of aspiranLs for the various offices,
but who will be the successful ones is
a problem just now. For Moderator
there will probably be no contest
the first man mentioned usually gets
this office-and Col. Sawyer will
probably be the man. There will be
no opposition to Noyes Wood for
Town Clerk. He is a good official
and the people will let well enough
alone.
For Selectmen Messrs. l.. p. Butts
and p. 7. Denio will doubtless be re-
elected. A. G. Davis has been on the
Board for several years and will
probably step out now, although we
hear it whispered that several of his
friends wish him to continue in the
old position. On the other hand it
is suggested that the Craftsmanship
be given to Geo. E. Mudgett, who has
had experience. His friends say be
would take first placei if rendered him.
Geo. Campbell is also talked of for a
position on the board. The name of
W. G. Bassett has been suggested,
but we understand Mr.. Bassett pos
itlvely declines to serve-he has busi-
ness of his own which claims his full
attention. f. H. Strong has many
friends who would like to see him q
Selectman.
For Listers we hear, though we
cannot vouch for it, that H. G. Ian
pher will not again accept a position
on the Board; in fact we understand
he will not take any town office. E.
l.. Noyes informs us that under no
circumstances will he again act as
Lister. In case the above is true
there should be at least one man on
the Board from this part of town
and the best man, could he be pre-
