Spencer, Feb. 25.-Henry T. Faure,
who up to a few weeks ago was looked
upon by Spencer people as a common,
everyday farmer, is fast becoming a
noted man. The question that is now
being asked in town is: What is
Faure going to spring next?"
He has already criticized the actions
of Warden Hoyt of the poor farm and
also last years board of overseers of
the poor, claiming that things have
been done by both parties which should
be looked into. Not only the above
named town officers and their doings
have been scored severely by Mr..
Faure, but many others. The inves-
LEGATIONS which the gentleman has de-
manded have as yet been paid but little
attention to, with the exception of one.
which has already been printed in The
Spy.
The last sensation which Mr.. Faure
has sprung on Spencer people is the
one which came today, when he de-
manded an investigation to be held
over 5000 which he claims was paid to
the selectmen last June for a license.
ne NGnlS lIlS Azuu, WHICH ne Says is
missing, accounted for. Mr.. Faure also
has another investigation on hand, and
desires to have the affairs of Warden
HOyt at the poor farm looked into.
Mr.. Faure claims that he does not
bring out these disgusting facts con-
corning town officials for any personal
motives A year ago last summer Mr..
Faure, who is a milk peddler. when
short of milk, would procure what ex-

being sent to Boston. As is known, the
Boston milk dealers will not take milk
from a farmer unless they can have it

Consequently when they discovered
that they We're not receiving all the milk
that was being produced on the poor
farm, they Immediately dropped Ward
en- Hoyt a letter telling him that If they
could not have all of his milk, they did
not wish any.
Mr. Hoyt then notified the overseers
of the poor asking what he should do
The overseers ordered him to stop SELL
ing Mr. Faure the milk, and instead
sent it all to Boston. When Mr. Faure
was notified by Mr.. Hoyt OF their decis-
ion, he became angry The town officials
are amused at Mr. Faure's proceedings,
but when they learn that he is not a

much more pleased. This, however, is
the case, and Mr.. Faure is entitled to
no voice in the government whatever
Mr.. Faure has been a taxpayer and
resident of Spencer for 10 years. De-
spite Mr.. Faure's criticism of Warden
Hoyt, the present board of oVerseers of
the poor have deemed it wise to retain
the present warden and have engaged
him for another year According to all
reports the poor farm stands today in
the best condition it has been in for
years
The sporting blood of the members
of the c. I. A. is fast approaching a
boiling temperature. The boys have
already, as before stated in The Spy,
formed an athletic association with 20
members. The candidates for the base
ball team have already begun practice

fast coming into shape. With all this
good work commenced q new athletic
venture is freely being discussed and
practically decided upon.
