DUMMERSTON.

The town auditors who compiled the annual re-
port for the las; fiscal year, Were fortunate in
escaping this year the customary attacks made
such reports by the critics at the annual March
meetings. Before the town acts on the reports,
lt is proper o. offer Just criticisms on the doiugs
Of the town officers and the work Of the auditors.
Unfortunately however. the criticisms are not
generally made in friendly spirit and leave the
lmprt SSlou on the officers criticised that they
have incurred the dispieasure Of the town and
lost the good will of the people however well they
may have tried TO discharge their duties Il may
be Inferred that when report escapes the usual
criticism II Is all right. and 10 is accordingly &c
cepted 10y the town as correct. In the last report
however, an important matter was left out which
the law requires should be- made annually TO the
town. and it is remarkable that the omission
escaped the eye Of the critics.

If the recent prize fight between Corbett
and Fitzsimmons fails TO make its impress
as the most important event of this closing
nineteenth century it seems to us that il
will in no way be the fault of the Boston
daily newspapers, notably of the Journal,
the practice of which paper before entering
upon its "career of progress" a few years
ago was to touch lightly on prize fights and
kindred events.

WILLIAM SVILLE.
Congratulations to Mr.. winchester


Mark c. Winchester of this place re-
Gently received notice of his appointment
as superintendent of the Good Temp.ars
home for orphans at Vallejo, Calf. an in
stitution containing from 200 to 240 chill
dren, and on Monday morning wired his
acceptance of the position. He will leave
in about ten days for his new field of la
Dor. Mr. Winchester is a member of the
well known Robinson Winchester family
of Marlboro, and when young man left
his native town for Ohio. In 1910, when
the gold excitement was at its height, he
started for California, going from st. Jo-
seph, Mo, across the plains in an OK team.
On his arrival he worked for about two
years in the mines, and then engaged in
farming and stock-Taising, which he fol-
lowed successfully until he came to live
with relatives in this village about two
years ago He early became connected
with the different temperance movements
in his adopted state and was a prominent
factor in their success. Once when a can
didate on the Republican legislative ticket
OF his county he was waited upon by the
county committee and requested TO put up
his share for the liquor that il was sup
posed necessary to use during the cam
paign TO insure the success of the ticket.
To this request he promptly replied that
it was in their hands to take his name off
the ticket if thought best, but not one
cent would he contribute to the proposed
fund. Mr., Winchester being q ready
speaker it was finally arranged that he
should address the people of the district
on campaign issues as his part of the work,
which service he performed in such man
ner as to give him larger majority than
was received by any other candidate on the
ticket While We all rejoice on account of
Mr. Winchester's good fortune, we are
sorry to lose him from Williamsville.
