j. William Votey, secretary of the board
Of State Road Commissioners, was In town
last Saturday to look over and advise with
the citizens and road commissioner in re-
gard to repairing piece of road between
the two villages, commencing near the Per-
kins bridge and extending south in the line
of said road about fifty rods. This road for
years has been very muddy in the spring
and fall, and during the present spring has
been nearly impossible for two or three
weeks. The commissioners advised digging
a trench two feet deep and sixteen feet
wide, filing it with stone to one foot above
the present level of the road and covering
the same with gravel, sloping the edges
above the level of the present road down to
the bitches; also putting in good ditch on
the upper side, putting in one new water
and oh thn nnn hon
large again as it now is This of course will
necessitate quite an expense, but it being
the principal thoroughfare in town it would
seem as though when anything is done it
would be best to do it in thorough manner.
1t is not a miracle. 1t won't cure every
thing, but 1t will cure piles. That's what
DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve will do, be-
cause it has done it in hundreds of cases.

The question which has agitated the stor
court for the past week is the right OF wa.
to the Richardson residence on Mount Me
dad. 1t is hoped this matter will be settlet
satisfactorily. No opposition should b.
shown to project of this kind, but ever.
inducement should be offered to all WIN
come to our village and erect summer resi-
| dence, as each new building adds not Onl.
to the looks of the village, but increases tn
value of all the real estate. Let nothing b
done to stop the growth of our village.
