Com missioner Weeks.

The people of Middlebury were much
pleased upon hearing that Gov. Proctor
had appointed John E. Weeks, of this
town a member of the cattle commission.
Judge Weeks was born in Salisbury,
is about 81 years of age, and finished
his schooling at the Middlebury high
school, where he prepared in 1873 for
college, but did not take the college
course. Upon his return to Salisbury
Mr.. Weeks devoted himself to agricul-
tural pursuits, being the son of farmer,
and for several years worked at that
vocation. But the young man was ap-
preciated by his former townsmen, who
elected him to all the usual offices in
Salisbury and in 1888 chose him for their
representative in the Legislature, at
which session he was chairman of the
committee OIL manufactures, having been
previously assistant doorkeeper of the
Senate in 1884. In the biennial term from
1892 to 1894 Mr.. Weeks was one of the
assistant judges of the Addison county
court, and in 1896 he was chosen one OF
the two senators from Addison county
The confidence his neighbors have in
Mr.. Weeks may be inferred from the
fact that he is sought after to act al
commissioner in settling up estates and
as administrator and executor in some
cases. AS the judge is the only com
missioner in the board at this writing ht
will fill the places of president, secre
tary, treasurer, executive committee

you approve or favor the bill introduced
in the House giving automobiles the

posing the selectmen say you must not
go ON the road from Middlebury to East
