CLOSE ELECTION IN COLCHESTER.


POlled-A Tax OF 30 CGuts.
The annual town meeting opened up at
a lively pace Tuesday morning. large
number Of voters were present at the open
Ing and everything went along smoothly
all day long. The weather was so bad
that many voters from the northern part
of the town did not attend. and for this
reason comparatively light vote was
poled. The whole number of ballots cast
was $50, or little more than half of the
voting population.
The first business to come before the
meeting was to act upon the reports of
the town officers. 1t was voted that all
taxes assessed upon the grand list Of the
town for 1896 be paid directly to the town
treasurer. 1t was also voted to authorize
the selectmen to borrow the United States
deposit money. A tax Of IS cents on the
dollar was voted to pay the current ex-
penses Of the present year and paGt of the
existing debt. An amendment wa offered
making 1t As cents instead OF 49, but 1t was
voted down.
The contest for town officers was very
close in some cases. A tie vote was de-
clared between A. NJ. Wheeler and Peter
3. Cross for third lister. MIR. Wheeler had
gone home and Mr.. Cross called for an
other ballot, which was granted. On the
second ballot Peter B. Cross received a
majority. The following Is the result of
the election for town officers:
Moderator Henry Conlln; town clerk.

IT You Have n Sick Child This is Surely o
Message of Hope.

This Is the best news for parents of
weakly or sickly children. 1t Is a fact
that our people have heretofore not had
the same opportunity for having their
children who suffer from chronic or ling
ering complaints treated and cured by
eminent specialists in children's diseases
as do the residents of the great cities
where such skilled physicians reside In
other words our people have been debarred
from seeking a cure for their children by
the great physicians, owing to the cost
of travel to the large city and the high
fees charged by such physicians.
Here, therefore, is chance for the cure
of the children of our community which
should not be lost. DR.. Greene of "a Tenn
pie Place, Boston, Mass, who Is beyond
doubt the most successful specialist in
curing diseases of children, offers to give
free consultation by mail in all cases of
children's complaints. Parents have the
privilege of consulting Dr. Greene by let
ter describing their childrens diseases
and he will. after carefully considering
the symptoms. write a letter fully ex.
planning the trouble, telling everything,
about their complaint so plainly that you
will understand exactly what ails youv
childron. He will also give his advice
BOUNDED upon his vast experience ana
wonderful success in treating such caseS
as to just what to do to effect a cure. All
this will cost you nothing and you can
thus have consultation with the best
known phsclan and acknowledged most
successful specialist in the world without
leaving home and at no expense whatever.
The doctor is the dtscoverer of greatest Of
medicines, Dr. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy and has discovered
many other most valuable remedies
Write to him now about your child, for
this is a chance of cure which you may
never have again.
