A rumor is afloat that an effort will be
made at the town meeting to depose the
present incumbent of the office OF town
clerk. There seems to be no valid reason
for this change. William Skinner, the
present town clerk, is considered very
efficient officer and his long service has
given him the opportunity to become
familiar with all the records, and details
of the office, and having been lister several
terms, he has the location and condition
of every acre OF land in Royslton. We
cannot believe the town would be bene-
fitted by change.
