other town meeting Saturday, April 2nd, at
9 a. In. There is feeling that some of the
appropriations made at the annual meeting
were too large. Mr. Nj. o. Wilson has
taken the agency for this section for the

machines. The practice of spraying is new
in this section, but is one that successful
farmers must look into.

WALDO. In the issue of March 18th, we
said our first selectman signed the names of
the other two, to document they had never
seen. 1t is correct. Mr.. Quincy in the issue of
March 24th, says he saw and approved of the
warrant with his name signed thereon, on
the morning of March ID, before it was
placed in the hands of the constable but
his approval with his name written thereon
in another's hand writing did not make it a
legal warrant. A new warrant was made
and presented to Mr.. Quincy before his
name was signed thereon and he and Mr..
Shorey signed with their own hands before
it was given to the constable. On this last
warrant our annual meeting was held March
21st and 22d. The only trouble with the
first warrant was that the names OF the three
selectmen were signed by the first select
man Travelling is very hard. ID. H.
Cilley is at no me from East Livermore.

Eight families living on two miles of road
