 1 MT. and Mrs. George Smith recent l 1y gave a small dancing party. I The town expects to receive some
 g, coo from the State for the educa- tional fund, since it. gives $2.25 for

Olds has returned to New York | after a vacation at Greenfield Hill. 1 The Democratic party is highly pleased with the nominations made on Wednesday evening and it is conceded on all hands that Mr. Fox will be re- elected First Selectman. The ques- tion for solution on the part of the Republicans is whom they can find to head their ticket foP the same office with any prospect of winning suc- cess.
 Republicans in town are perplexed over the question of whom to nomi- nate for First Selectman. A number Of men have been approached but they 1 all decline No one seems willing to sacrifice himself, since it is a fore | gone conclusion that MT Fox will be reelected It is known that B. P. Warehouse declines to run, although | up to day or two ago it was thought he would Andrew P. Wakeman is talked of for the second place on the ticket and MT. Rowe will doubtless be renominated. / Naturally the Dem ocrats have good reason to be hopeful over the situation, and it is quite pos sible they may win out on the whole ticket If good men and competent refuse to run for Selectmen. they should be the last to find fault with those who are elected. Town govern ment ought to be a matter of busi- ness and not one of politics. ~
 It can hardly be said that the nom ination for town clerk and tax collec- tor was left open. when at the same time it is announced that H. H. Lyon and Clarence H. Bradley were nomi- mated for tax collector. The truth is Joseph Sturges was nominated for town clerk and tax collector. and last year he made a strong run for the DOSitiOn.
