A TWELVE MILL TAX LAID.

At the adjourned town meeting, held in the Town hall on Saturday, the ques- tion of taxes occupied the chief atten- tion of the meeting. The town has been in arrears for one year, for a number of years. It has of course caused much inconvenience and last year a good deal of misunderstanding as there was raised the question whether the collec- tor elected last fall was to collect the tax for 1906 and 1907 or the year be- fore. The, matter was finally allowed to go on as usual. On Saturday it was voted to lay 12-mill tax payable the first of next July instead of one year from the date of laying the tax. The collector was instructed to collect all taxes collectable up to two years of this date and the selectmen were ad- vised to abate such as were not collect able and make clean business of tax av- erages which is nearly $3000. The roads were put into the hands of the select man to be worked as in their judge ment seems best. The sum of $2242 was appropriated for schools.

"The professor, one morning, being

unable to attend to his classes to-day
"The students erased one letter in
this notice, making it read:

unable to attend to his lasses to-day
"But it happened few minutes later
that the professor returned for box
he had forgotten. Amid roar of
laughter he detected the change in his
notice, and, approaching the black
board calmly erased one letter in his
turn.
