 Two more unfortunate men who go about tacking signs to trees, posts and fences, were brought to justice on Tuesday, and placed under $15 bonds each. When the case was called in court yesterday neither of the men ap- peared and the bonds were forfeited. So the town is in about $30.

 Another establishment at the center has closed down-the antiseptic bar Der shop in the grass green Porter building. This shop opened just be- fore the big Taft boom struck the town, but since there is so much de- lay in tinkering the tariff, and so many men are buying safety raZOrs, business has fallen off, and so the barbers have pulled up their fancy poles and closed their doors. This shop is situated near the depot, and some enterprising young man who has more money than business capacity, might open a quick lunch room in the place. There is long felt want in this direction.

 The long anticipated high joint ses- sion of the various fire companies and the Selectmen has been held and cer- tain suggestions were made. Freder- ick Beardsley said that under certain conditions the fire underwriters would re-rate the town. It was proposed to buy 500 more feet of hose, and the suggestion often made in the Farmer was considered to the effect that a part of the hose be kept in a small building in a different part of the town so that it can be more easily got at in case of need. It is possible some of the hose may be kept in an addition to the lookup which it is pro- posed to build. It was also proposed to purchase a light wheeled hose cart. Another joint meeting was announced for last night.
