WARREN.
Our selectmen called town meet
ing for Saturday the Bird, to see what
the town would do with liquor held
at the time our agent N Thayer, re-
signed last winter The taxpayers
got into a wfangle over it and con-
cluded to do nothing with it but leave
it in the hands of the selectmen to
dispose of it according to law. 1t
seems to be poor way to do business
to keep 800 or $500 worth of liquor
locked up when there are so many dry
and the towns money lying idle. The
town is not as dry as it seems to be
judging from the amonnt of peculiar
express packages coming in every
day
Our spring is not so early after all !;
the ground is so wet and cold that
seed put in now will surely rot if
warm weather does not come soon
One of our Grand Army men,
George Bruce, is to be buried today.
He has been sick long time and
great sufferer.
There is not much talk on the Gov
ernor question but voters seem to be
pretty well decided as to what they
will do. They keep their opinions to
themselves, however, and when a cat
tie buyer comes along buying up all
the surplus cattle he can find and
merely breaches the question of trust
and wants to know if we want a trust
man for Governor, we don't know to
whom he refers.
Seed of all description is scarce and
high. Potatoes are still high but the
farmers hold them for higher prices.
Pork is higher than since the war and
beef not easily found at any price.
The Proctor stock is little off, and
has been hard to sell here for several
years but there may be boom on be-
fore the time of the caucus.
