The town was fortunate when it selected for it's first Selectman a gen. tleman of wealth, leisure, and a de- possible manner. Although it is sometime yet before a caucus will be held to nominate selectmen for the coming year, all indications point to- wards the renomination of Charles s. Fox, who has won much applause and the approval of conservative citizens, for the efficient manner in which he has performed his duties. It will be hard to find a better man for the place, who is able and willing to de- vote his time to the interests of the town. There are those who predict that if he is renominated he will be reelected by a large majority.

 Come, one come all, t
 As the sun descends
 And skip home
 By the light of the moon.
