 At a regular meeting of St. Edwards T. A. & L. Society, held at A. O. H. hal Tuesday evening, the society received 1S applications for admission. This society was formed about a year ago, and there
 
 course there is always room for more. Their hall is a very pleasant place for young men to meet and enjoy themselves with their friends and to pass away the evenings. There has hardly been meet ing since the formation of this society that there has not been at least one appli- cant for admission, but the last meeting speaks as though the members are deter mined that Stafford shall be temperance town. Let us hope so at least, and that when the next meeting takes place they will receive fully as many applications, il not more. If every member will strive tc make it a success and all work in unison with will, in short time Stafford will be doubly proud of the society.

 Town meeting will be held next Mon day for the purpose of laying tax tC meet the expenditures for the coming year, and the transaction of other busi ness that may legally come before tn, meeting. One of the most important mat ters for consideration that will come ul is the policy of road improvement for th coming year. Many think that libera appropriation should be made for macad amized road. This class of road cost more at first, but is cheaper in the end It would, perhaps, be wise for the town t' use as little money as possible, for a fev years, on the highways that are not mucl used, and put all the money that can b' spared into permanent improvement O the more important thoroughfares. good macadamized road connecting Staf fordville, Stafford Hollow and the Spring. would be benefit to large proportion of the public. The regular yearly appro priation for the proper observance of me morial day will no doubt receive the fav orable action of the meeting.
