 A comparatively light vote was polled last Tuesday at the election, the state ticket receiving, republican 43, and the democratic 22.

Thayer, received the largest majori- ties given in years. George W. Thay- CT lives in the east part of town, and is engaged in numbering and farming. He owns the saw-mill on the Bigelow brook. MT. Thayer has never sought office, and the honor bestowed upon him Nov. 9th was given him most cheerfully. He is a G. A. R. man and has a very pleasant home and family. R. Back resides at Masha- pAug and is large land owner and farmer MT. Back has been engaged in years past in numbering, has been identified with Union and it's affairs for many years, serving the town in numerous offices, is a man of genial good nature and ready wit.
