 Joseph Scholnick has brought suit against Harris Bavlsty, charging him with libel. Bavisty was arrested yester- day. but was soon released on bail. The trouble grew out of postal card sent by the defendant to a creditor of Scholnick's, telling him to look out, as Scholnick was liable to go to jail for embezzlement. The creditor came on and took what there was left of goods sold to Scholnick and left the postal to explain his action. The selectmen have called a special town meeting for Monday at p. m., to see If the town will vote to appropriate money to extend the macadam road and for the improvement of public roads as provided for by chapter 229 of the acts of 1897. There is a general feeling that the section of road beginning at the end of last years contract to the borough line, which Ia a very short section, should be built at this time ln connection with the completion of last years contract. After this section Is completed the macadam should be extended north towards Staf- fordville.
