1t is to Nine. Brazzi that | address first
my compliments, for in this ferocous role
of Herodiade her talent, so supple and so
varied, has full play If she was applaud
ed two years ago when she had the honor
of creating the role at Nice, she was much
more so last Saturday, especially after the

spect to the shading and a careful inter
probation of the varied expressions that
few artists possess in such degree as our
excellent contralto.-LeS EchOS de Nice.

amounted TO $40, 4l9, against about S12, 900
the year previous. Thorough work has
been done on the country roads, however,
and he believes this work will prove much
more permanent than formerly "because
the material used was of the best quality

EsteyvIlle's Material for Road Commits
sIOner.
In these days just before town meeting,
We hear of several men who are in great
distress of mind. The trouble seems to be
that they are just little too wise in their
own vain conception, and as usual at this
time of the year have an itching for some
town Office. We wish TO inform our to WIS
men that Esteyville has several good, en-
terprsing men OF modest merit, who would
not objrc to the office of road commits
soner Now if the town is looking for in
competency instead of real experienced
road maker, we can furnish list Of candi-
dates that will size up with those of any
other part of the town, AID especially with
some of the over-anXious ones already in
the race. If there is an Office in town that
calls for more real good, practic common
sense than that of road commissioner we
wish to know it. We have plenty of men
in town that can tell good road when
they see it, but have no more idea how to
set a gang of men TO work to make il than
boy, but boy like, they think they know
it all. 1t is the duty of the voters of the
town, regardless of personal friendship, TO
leave these men wanting. The town has
no use for them.
