l.. J. Flood attended base ball meet ing in Canaan on Friday of last week as a representative of the Salisbury team. Another meeting is to be held thero to- morrow and 1t is probably that the team directors, Messrs Landon and Stone. will attend. If either is unable to be present, proxy will be sent. At this time it is expected that officers for the season of 1909 will be chosen and considerable other business transacted.
 This is the paper in which to find the news of Salisbury and other villages of northwestern Litchfield and Southern Berkshire counties. In this paper the matters of interest to the people of this section are chronicled and discussed this paper prints more base ball news than other paper, this paper contains features found in no other paper, it is the paper we would like to have you read. If you are not n subscriber, you can purchase it each week at the Salisbury postoffice. It reaches here on Thursday mornings.
 There is just one grand juror in the town of Salisbury, Ii. c Alexander Suy- dam. At various elections half dozen grand jurors, more or less. have been elected but nearly all of them have failed to qualify. The business men say they cannot afford to run the risk of creating enmities by acting in this capacity. Having but one juror has caused consid- erable inconvenience in the past. A re- cent instance was the assault of Robert Bloomer in Amesville by John Malette. Bloomer wished to procure n warrant for Malette's arrest consequently it was necessary for deputy sheriff Hatmaker 70 go to Ore Hill and obtained the sigma. ture of MT. Suydam and then return to Amesville. By the time all this had been accomplished, the bird had flown. And he has remained flown since.
 The Board of Relief of the town of Sal Isbury held a meeting Monday in town hall. The Board consists of William Kane. w. F. Everts and l.. F. Ashman. Last year this board made absolutely no change in the figures of the assessors. The assessors are Messrs F. A. Rerd. J. s. Perkins and Hczekiah Goodwin. They have held office for number of years and have come as near to pleasing everyone as it is possible for any bonrd of assessors to do. The tribulations of the assessor g1ves him slight insight into the trials of the editor who tries to run paper to please all his subscribers. We say slight because no assessor has ever had as much trouble as the man be- hind the pencil. And the assessor has it only at certain seasons while with the pencil pusher it is steady diet,
