There is probably no town in Windham

people who will note with sense of per
sonal regret the passing of Lon Hines.

had been familiar one at country dances,
and the number Of couples who have
obeyed his sonorous voice in the oldtfash.

into the thousands Although not a great
musician Mr. Hines was none the less a
skilled exponent Of the rollicking melodies
to which so many folks have found delight
in treading the light fantastic and the
chords OF his pocket organ have brought
JOY to many, many hearts. His associates
viii remember him as one who never failed
to keep an engagement or complained

was frequently obliged to put up. To hun.

memories of many happy hours

The sale OF the Judge building on Main
street to Herbert G. Barber increases the
probability Of new block on the site of the
Judge property and the adjoining lot to the
south. While it is understood that Mr.
Barber has no definite plans for the i'm
provement of this location he no doubt
had such an idea in mind when he became
the purchaser of the Judge building, and
if Brattleboro grows as its most optimistic
supporters believe it will there will soon
be need Of another modern structure for
mercantile and office purposes There is
one thing, however, that should be taken
into consideration before any improvements
are begun at the point in question, and
that is the need of Strengthening and
widening the west side of Main street be-
tween Elliot and Flat streets. This would
Of course reduce the depth of the lots now
owned by Mr. Barber because the straight
ening process would take diagonal piece
off their front and the town could not eX-
pect to do this without paying a just price
for what land would be needed for the i'm
provement. The Meddler has no doubt
that Mr.. Barber, in his own interests,
would consider this matter in connection
with any contemplated construction; and
the idea is mentioned at this time that the
voters of the town may have plenty of time
in which to think it over.

ROAD APPOINTMENTS
CAUSE MORE TROUBLE

The road committee was up against
the mayor at the meeting of the super
visors last night, as he refused to put
a motion presented by Sam Dwight re-
fusing the appointment of james X.
Paele as road superintendent in the dis
trict of Koolaupoko. Finally, however,
the motion was Withdrawn, and the
matter is to be brought up again Tues
day.
When the mayor asked for the com
mittee's reasons for not appointing
Paele, Dwight said that it was on the
ground of incompetence. The mayor
aod Eben Low started in for one an
other then, and the former objected to
Low saying that it was a matter Of
politics. 1t was the same old thing that
has now been going on for the last five
months.

TO SOME CRITICISMS
EXPLAINS REASON FOR ATToR-
NEY HEMENwAY's JOURNEY
TO NEW YORK.

"There are undoubtedly some people
who would prefer to jeopardise nearly
100000 of bonds, besides various
public improvements, rather than pay
bagatelle of $1,000 month and ex'
penses to qualified attorney"
In these words Governor Frear re-
Piled yesterday to criticisms made by
some of his political opponents to his
appointment of Attorney Charles E.
Hemenway, who is accompanying Treas
urer Conkling to New York in order to
look after the legal work in connection
with the fotation Of the first part of
the bond issue authorized by the legis-
lature at its last session.
"There seems TO be an impression
that Mr.. Hemenway has gone to rem
der an opinion on the bonds" added
the Governor. "He has gone for moth
ing of the kind. He is to do the pre-
hminary work in connection with the
issue. 1 hope that through him the
legal expenses at the other end will be
reduced"
The Governor added that he thought
Treasurer Conkling did quite right in
engaging Mr.. Hemenway, as he eonsid-
ers there is no one better up in the
laws of the Territory. He added that
while only 81 100000 worth of bonds
are TO be hoated this year, there are
sure to be a great many legal questions
involved, and Mr.. Hemenway's work on
this trip viii stand good in the case Of
other fotations.

Governor, "tbe remainder Of the
