favorable.
The travelling in this section is some
thing awful The storm of last week
piled snow upon the already generous
quantity in the roads, and what the
storm didn't put there the wind has
made up for during the week; nearly
every road has had breaking crews on a
good part of the time until the roads are
now resting ON the tops of snow drifts
of varying depths, and woe to the I'M
lucky horse which steps outside this
track for he is in nearly out of sight in
moment.

The asking of the Legislature for a
permit to extend their road to Smith
| field bv the Skowbegan and Norridge-
wock Electric X. R 20, created some
thing of a surprise here after the stories
which have been SO industriously circu-
lated that they were about to take up
the rails entirely.
The ladies of the V |. :. are making
arrangements to present play within "A
| few weeks, the proceeds of which goes

trife scant but the ladies of the society

various hooks and crooks constantly
making the deficit less and less.
On account of the very bad condition
of the roads, last week, the funeral of

The selectmen are busy settling up all
accounts fer the year. All accounts are
closed on the goth, wbeh The report goes
to the printers. 1t appears that the
town affairs have been carefully looked
after during the year and the business
has been conducted in an economical
manner.
The school affairs have also been in
good hands and We realize that II is
almost imposing upon good nature to
ask a committeeman 10 give his time
for another three years, yet the very
satisfactory manner in which things are
running ought to make that committee
man whose term expires, feel that il
would not be an oyerburdeu for him Co
accept again II looks as though he
would have the refusal of the position
any way.
The sporting boating men of this stc-
tipn are making arrangements tar 10 biz
boat race on North Pond on the ABB If
July William Bracket Is nue ot the
enthusiastic ones and is about b. lay the
keel for a 80 knot boat which lie expects
10 use on that occasion.
" hen you talk about boats. the finest
finished boat on North Pond, this sea-
son, will be the one Q. F Hall is at
work on Everybody knows that O. +.
Hall is a jeweleI and used to looking at
little things and can tell when watch
pivot is properly polished. This may
account for the care and fine work he
has bestowed upon his boat. Every
thing from keel to penant is slick,
smooth and shipshape, and if it doesn't
win the race Mr. Hall will have the sat
isfaction of knowing he has the slickest
craft anyway.
The primary and intermediate schools
will close, tomorrow, after successful
