This report now in the hands of the
printers shows some mighty interesting
reading
Perhaps the most inquiry is in regard 10
the working OF the license law. As the
town accounts stand today, after account
ing for all license fees, fines and costs and
repayments by the state and accounting
for all expense attendant upon the license
law, including expenses OF license com
missioners, costs and payments to the
state, the town is just sS3.65 ahead in the
game. There are some uncertain assets
that may increase this surplus.
The town school district has paid all ex-
penses, made considerable permanent re-
pairs and reduced its Indebtedness from
some 500 to 500
The net current expenses OF the town
have been sl0,gS0.gS and the net current

pally. These were Miss Grace Upper as
Hetty Holcomb, "a country flower trans
planted to city soil;" Miss Maybelle
Greene as lisa belle Corney, the disappoint-
ed and scheming New York society belle;
Miss Mary ellison as Lily Ann Tucker,
swbo borrows, but never gossips," and
Miss Stella Adams as Nerbena, ''the hired
girl on the farm" Ii is not too much to
say that they all did finely. Miss Upper
made a very sweet and lovable Hetty,
while Miss Greene, as the proud and
naughty Isabel, did perhaps as painstak-
ing and conscientious piece of acting as
has been seen in long time on the local
stage. Miss ellison was quite at home in
her part, and Mrs. Chase as Mrs. Rutledge
was very stately and impressive.
Silas Holcomb, Hetty's father and owner
of Valley Farm, was represented by the
Rev. q. F. Fortier, pastor Of the Universe
list church. This was Mr.. Fortier's first
appearance as an actor, and he certainly
made the hit Of the evening. His entrance
was the signal for general applause and
laughter, and his faithful representation
of the honest old farmer touched every
heart. 1t may be said that the credit for
the success of the play in its inception and
is largely his due.
