THE TOWN MEETING.

At the town meeting held at Town
hall, last Friday afternoon, for the pur-
pose of instructing the selectmen to make
application for state aid to improve a
piece of highway under the public act
passed by the last Legislature, Section
299, the first was to continue the telford
road toward Waterbury. This motion
was amended to read commencing at the
store of F. N. Barton and extending west
as far as the appropriation will carry iU.
It is we'll known fact that this is one of
the worst pieces Of road in town. AS
far back as the memory of the oldest in
habitant goes in the spring of each year
this =.road has been regular Quagmire
and to make good hard road out of it
will make more converts to good roads
than anything which could be done at
present. Preaching good roads counts
for nothing. The only thing which tells
is practical demonstration of the fact
that good roads do pay. The meeting
was called to order by Seleetman Harper.
William FL. Beers was elected chairman.
The meeting adjourned to Saturday after
noon, August IA, at 2 pm.

CONDITION OF THE TOBACCO CROP.

CONDITION OF THE TOBACCO CROP.
The tobacco crop is not as promising
as the growers would like. Earlier in
the season a small bug appeared eating
the under side of the new leaves as they
put out, in very many instances running
the leaf or else making it quite defective
The black flea is now taking his turn.
How much damage he may do remains
to be seen. The wet weather and lack
of sunshine not only tends to hinder
growth but will impair the quality of the
leaf. Generally where the tobacco is on
ground where there is standing water it
is beginning to turn yellow, which means
growth for those plants is at an end.

GREAT DAMAGE OF THE ROADS BY THE
STORMS.
The damage to the roads by the storm,
last week was the most serious for years.
The south part of the town seemed to suf
fer the worst. 1t was necessary to shut
up four roads as they either could not be
travelled or it was dangerous to do So.
The selectmen are overrun with com
plants from different parts of the town.
They are doing the best they can, but so
many people have hay and oats to get, it
ID very difficult to get the repairs made
as soon as they would like. On the road
from the Junction to the Center as many
as five teams and II men were at work at
one time. 1t ia difficult to estimate the
expense this storm will cause.
