A Lengthy Warrant.

Less than two weeks now to town
meeting, and we are reminded of that
fact by the posting of the warrant, which
has already been done. 1t is the longest

if each one is considered even at short
length, it will be even later in the day
than usual before adjournment is reach
ed. Some of the articles, needless to
say, will certainly receive considerable
attention.

matters of regular routine business,
which come up up every year for con-
sideration. In addition revised list of

them.
Two articles call for consideration of a
