The supper and entertainment given last
H., I,-t ~ - ~, w 4,
was great success, there being a large at
tendance. The vocal and instrumental
music We're very good; also the readings.
1t was very enjoyable occasion, and the
members of the Union were elated over the
Increased weight of their cash box. They
feel deeply grateful to the public for re
spending 50 freely in their behalf.
The Masonic sociable given last Saturday
evening was we'll attended and everybody
seemed to enjoy the entertainment very
much, especially that part where the knife
and fork played conspicuous part. Music,
singing, readings and plays formed the
principal exercises of the evening. Consider
ing the short time in preparing for the occa-
sion it proved to be a very pleasing affair
1t is hoped that more will follow during the
last months of winter, as they afford for
both old and young delightful change
from the wearisome monotony that usually
at this season of the year, rests so heavily
upon everyone. Therefore, let us render all
the assistance we can to the managers and
there will be no trouble in making these
entertainments most charming diversion
in our every day sameness of manner and
enjoyments.
AS the time for the annual town meeting
is fast approaching the air is full of rumors,
as usual, of candidates who are anxious to
serve the town in this position and that
not, of course, for the magnificent saaries
that 90 with them, but merely for the honor
OF the thing. Therefore prospective candi-
dates are looming up quite rapidly, especial
ly for road commissioner. Besides the
present lncum bent, Mr. Freeman Crockett
and Mr.. Jessie Priest are sizing up their
respective chances and the number of votes
they expect to poll in their behalf. Prob
ably Mr. Hurd will be reelected, as the citi-
zen as a whole are desirious that he should
NC given d SeColu year, AoG oAiy DIS COur-
tesy due him, but because the first year has
given him the experience that will enable
him to do better work and give better salts
faction. Mr.. Hurd has won the praise Of
the majority of the people, and notwith-
standing the disadvantages he has la
bored under he has proved a faithful
and competent servant, and no doubt the
l
in Office. The other gentlemen are capable
men and would fl II the duties of the position
with credit to themselves and honor to the
town but possession, they say is nine points
of the law, and if that is the case the pres
ent commissioner may feel reasonably as
sured of second term. In all probability
the present board Of selectmen will be
chosen second term but there is possibi
ity that one may drop out. The present
town clerk will remain, if he wishes to, and
if there are any surprises to be encountered
in the election of the remaining town Off
Gals they may show themselves when
the treasurer and the superintendent of
schools are chosen. OF course we do not
make the statement for certainty, but
Gue lDulCdGlOuS al pfeSout pOlut LlOSb pldl uly
to the fact that there will be a formidable
opposition in one or the other of these Of
fees, and p erhaps in both. However, every
thing is serene at present, but soon the as
piring candidates will bob up serenely and
then the fun will begin to increase until
election day.
