Some of us may think we have
nothing to do with the Legislature
question; we may brag foolishly that
we do not know who represents the
county. and that we don't propose to
vote anyway. But the work of our
legislature is a thing we come into
contact with every day-almost
every moment. We can't walk on a
sidewalk, or cross a street, or climb
on a street car and pay five cents
for the privilege, or get married, or
be buried, or buy quart of milk, or
hire an eXpressman, or pay gas
bill, without coming in contact with
the powers or privileges granted di-
rectly or indirectly by the state legis-
laure. And if we foolishly say that
the legislature does not concern us,
and think of it merely as a part of
that remote thing called politics,
we may feel certain that we leave
the direction of our most intimate
! affairs. including the command OF
our pocket books, to men who are
smart enough 10 turn our own wea-

and his absence still remains a mys-

and in the river.
There was citizens meeting held
in Bunker's office, Saturday evening,
to consider a proposition presented
by E. B. Estes & Sons for the cree
tion of a novelty mill in this village.
1t appears that the company wants
the town to build mill 150x30 feet,
two stories high on site near the
railroad with ten acres of land for
yard room. This mill is to be run by
steam and water supply must be
furnished capable of maintaining 300
horse power in constant operation.
This building and the finished pro-
ducts must be exempted from taxa
tion for a period of ten years. The
company will purchase $500 cords of
the farmers consisting of birch,
poplar, and pine every year and give
employment to about 100 people. A
member of the firm is expected to be
in town, Thursday or Friday, to talk
the matter over. A committee con-
sisting of NJ P. Moore, F. w. Bunker,
Frank Caswell, H. B. Merry, and A.
Simmons was appointed to confer
with the citizens and locate a site
favorable for such an enterprise.
Here is an opportunity for the town
to have an industry that means much
to all. That will directly and in
directly benefit all classes, the mer-
chant, the farmer, and the laborer.
While something is asked of the
town something is given in return.
Think the matter over carefully as it
means business ahead.
