NOTES FROM
SANDYSTON

| Wefe hOb ulleuuiHH eCnoOls a tcHuul
official asserts that l am 2O95 too
high, and if that is true, what is our
truar officer doing,
Sowing of oats continues Some
have finished, while others are get
ting the ground ready. This week
will probably see the finish of that
crop.
Some time ago our Committee o.
dered a new set of guide boards, and
the contractor is at work putting
them mp They look brighter, but
should have been much larger.
While the P. o. Dept prefer that
senders Of letters have "return" on
their envelopes scarcely one in zen
pus II on. And for that reason
many letters wrongly directed never
find their destination and they event
ually are sent to the Dead Letter
Office.
The contracts for building the Mac
adem road from Tuttles Corner to
Layton will be opened on May 18th,
and the work will commence early
in June is the latest. If this is true
and | have no reason to doubt j.
why expend lot Of money on repair
ing this piece Of road.
Our enumerator is making good
progress in his work, but does not
find many who have flied the blanks
sent them in advance.
Some of the questions are consId
cred impertinent but must be an
swered all the same.
The suit for eiectment between
John Henry and Asher Shook. both
Of Branchville, excited good deal
of interest here. The land in dispute
is valueless. but both were bound TO
try it out, and when the end came
the Court decided that the disputed
land did not belong TO either.
When hotel violates the law in
the sale of intoxicating drink, the
law should interfere If the case car
be clearly proven, but when malice
is the principal factor in the case the
court should be justified in ignoring
the complaint, the complainant pay
ing all costs.
The Borden Milk Company is now
pulling about $50 cans Of milk acros Z
the mountain.
One double team pulls 60 cans, AMI
that with the addition of the weight
Of the wagon makes big load.
The two companies running a telC-
phone line through this valley should
see to it that their poles are put in
position.
Every here aud there is one sus-
pended by the wires.
A party OF five cyclists passed
through Layton on Saturday with
Dingmans Choice their objective
point. They were Mr.. and Mrs. l..
S. Freeman, Miss Katharine Clark
P. II. +. Smith and l.. g. Cole, al
of MorristowD, N. J.
Hotels buying their bottled drinks
are required by the Newton bottlers
to charge five cents for the bottle, il
taken away, and to refund it whe ,
the bottle Is returned. Go along any
Of our roads, and you will find scores
of bottles and they have lost a good
many dollars in past years.
Aaron Losey Of this town is lying
critically i'll at the home of Joshua
Shay and grave fears are entertained
Of recovery.
Don't 1t make you mad when
wishing TO use the telephone to hear
the click Of listeners taking down
their receivers TO listen to what you
9 have to say. IT Is a shame that onC
, can have no privacy when talking
r over the phone
What lot Of trouble can be mad
by a suit in Court Innocent partiot
are compelled to attend as witnesse
and at an expense unlocked for, ant
often the case is not noticed.
Trout fishing is next in order, bu
y the tales Of big strings are not told al
3 yet. Occasionally one Of those biz
D stories is told, but the one telling
J, the story is too well known an,
a that ends the spread of that "whop
: per-"
. The hen is certainly attending 4
c her business, when one Of our mer
chants shipped 40 crates Of eggs. ami
> did not send all he had taken in a
, that, the past week.
