Republicans Meet,

The republican town committee held a
meeting in F. A, Bolles' office Monday
evening and a good number Of citizens not
members of the committee were present by
invitation. The chairman of the commit
tee, DR.. George H. Gorham, called the
meeting to order and after few fitting re-
marks called upon George H. Babbitt, Jr.,
chairman Of the republican state commit
tee. Mr.. Babbitt said that the state COM
mittee are striving to obtain a republican
majority of 10000 at the coming state
election. TIE number apportioned to
Rockingham is 747 and this number can
easily be gotten to the polls if there is
proper effort made. He urged all present
to use every effort to get the voters to the
polls on election day. Two years ago we
gained an additional delegate in the state
and district conventions and two delegates
in the county convention. We should en-
deavor to keep the number good. By
casting three more votes than in 1896
Rockingham will be entitled to an addi-
tional delegate, that is if $50 votes are
cast. There is an excellent state ticket
and every reason why there should be a
large republican vote.
The committee have districted the whole
town and some 80 captains have been ap-
pointed whose duty is to assist the COM
mittee in getting out the vote.

discovered that her watch was missing
Suspicion fastened on Young Rob-
bins and Mr.. Perry drove to Bellows Falls
at once hoping to catch the thief before he
could leave town. Chief Thompson was
notified and kept sharp watch on Mr..
Frost's stable thinking Robbins would re-
turn there with the team. Robbins, how
ever, kept on the road until the $50 train
over the Fitchburg road Monday morning
when they drove to the station and boarded
the train for Keene. He gave fellow Is
cents to take the team back to the stable,
but forgot to send any money to pay for
the use of it.
Chief Thompson took the next train for
Keene and caught his man in the depot
just about to board the train to 90 further
down the line. After considerable squirm.
ing Robbins produced the watch and con-
scented to come back to Bellows Falls. He
was given hearing before Justice C. H.
Williams Monday evening and sentenced
to 60 days at Rutland for petit larceny, or
the alternative sentence OF $40 and costs.
Robbins is only 10 years of age and was
married four months ago. 1t is under
