iDgton's birthday were held by the pri-
mary schools of the Academy, Friday
afternoon. The departments taught by
Misses Marsh and Buck assemb bled in Miss
L1cke's room and went through their flag
drills, marching, singing, speaking etc. in
a highly creditable manner, attesting to
much diligence in preparatory work on
the part of teachers and pupils. The
school work for the entire year was Oh ex-
hibition in attractive forms about the
walls. Parents and friends OF the school
to the number of about 80 were present
and expressed much pleasure with the de-
partments' work.
The printed reports OF the town officers
are now being distributed and should be
thoroughly examined. The reports show
heavy indebtedness, part of which is due
to the reduction in taxes during the past
year. We understand that it will be nee
essary to select new officers in several
cases. We understand that Mr.. Gay re-
fuses to serve another year as selectman,
leaving Mr.. Mossman alone of the old
board, as Mr.. Drown was obliged to give
up the office because of his health. Mr.
Mossman should be, and we have no doubt
will be, reelected. There is considerab BILE
talk of having two road commissioners as
provided for by the last legislature. Every
voter in town should plan to attend this
meeting.
