| Worthy Board Of seIeetmen.

Deacon w. F. Howard, who served his
country in the Civil war, recalls fact in
the history of Randolph which shows
with what signal ability the towns
conflict. Sound business judgment dis
tinguished the board of selectmen, upon
whom rested the responsibility OF meeting
the heavy financial burdens imposed by
the war and who proved so equal to the
task that Randolph not only responded
promptly to every call for troops and
equipment but came out at the close of
the strife without cent of Indebtedness,
while all around towns were bonded for
debt that now after forty years of
endeavor some of them have not entirely
liduidated.
These war seleetmen we're the late
jackson Lamson of this village, the late
Bailey Adams OF the Center, and Rock
wood Holden ssfrom over East By their
far sighted administration and devotion
to the best interests of their town they
saved ii from years of weary tax paying
bondage and enabled it in the time OF
need to render prompt and willing service
to the state and nation. When call Tor
troops came, these selectmen rested
neither day nor night until the quota
was full, then they called a meeting OF
the town, raised the necessary funds and
paid all bills at once.
This immediate raising Of funds was
comparatively easy at the time and sue
ceeding years proved its wisdom; for
never had the farmers more golden
period than during the rebellion when
prices were high and paper money plenty.
Butter sold tor so cents pound, wool
was worth from 80 cents TO a dollar and
fat porl<er could be disposed of at $50,
as was done by Bailey Adams himself on
market day. calico dress cost 90 cents
a yard, and one of our merchants who had
m stock bale OF cotton cloth 1000 yards),
for which he paid nine cents yard,
concluded be did not want to keep II and
sold il again in Boston at Is cents a yard
but finally had TO buy it back at 80 cents
yard.
With the resumption OF specie payment
these inflated prices dropped like a
punctured balloon, and many farm
purchased in the greenback period had
TO be sold for the amount for which II
was mortgaged. The hard times that
naturally followed were weathered more
successfully by the farmers OF Randolph
because they had no taxes to raise for
big war debt, thanks to the wise policy
OF this board OF selectmen, who deserve
to be held in grateful remembrance.
Ii would be interesting to know how
many other towns In the state found their
finances in such excellent shape when
the war was over.

The Two promIos.

Ebert Poland, representing the White
Entertainment Bureau Of Boston, was IN
town Friday to consult with the local
course committee relative to attractions
for next winters course. Mr.. Poland Is
the popular entertainer who has appeared
twice in the Randolph course, and takes
up cn- contract work as sort OF summer
pastime.
Everyone who has seen MIR. Poland on
the platform has been struck by the re-
markable resem blance he bears IN looks,
voice and manner to Charles Il. Grilley,
also a popular favorIte with Randolph
audiences. IL is singular that two men so
much alike should engage in the same line
OF work in the same field.
Messrs. Grilley and Poland are often
mistaken for each other as they travel
about, creating some amusing situations
Not long ago Mr.. Poland, while journey
ing by rail IN Maine, was accosted by Rev.
j. j. Lewis, a well-known lecturer, who
greeted him as "Mr. Grilley." Mr.. Fol-
and allowed his companion to visit along
for some time before he revealed his own
identity, much to the establishment OF
Mr.. Lewis.
Some weeks later, Mr.. Poland, while
hurrying along one of Boston's busy
streets, was hailed by a gentleman who
finally caught up with him and said
.sSay The funniest thing happened up IN
Maine the other day. On the cars fell IN
with man | supposed to be you-looked
exactly like you-and ! told him all
knew about you, when he said he wasn't
you at all-name was Foley, or something
| like that
When Mr.. Lewis learned that for the
second time he had been fooled, he forgot
his destination altogether and followed
Mr.. Poland a mile beyond, wrapped in
wonderment

ky and $50 caddies of tobacco. The
gang would board a train as it left the
yards ut night and throw off such goods
as they could while the train was pulling
out of town. Later they gathered it up.
