Vaccination is no respecter of persons.
1t gets in its work, no matter who the
subject. Merritt Lee, usually proof
against all "the ills that flesh is heir to-
couldn't resist the prevailing fashion, and
succumbed to the capers of the virus for
a few days.
1t may seem little early, but "the
early bird catches the worm." you know,
and so the Lecture Committee has closed
with the White Bureau OF Boston for a
series of five fine entertainments for the
course of next fall and winter. We are
safe in saying that it will be the very best
course ever given here and in engaging
it now, the committee has made splendid
trade. The course will be made up of
four musical entertainments and one lee
ture. 1t will consist of THE Pilgrim
Girls" southland Singers" 1.-The
Maskers," "New York Ladies' Trio" and
''Thos. Byrnes." The course costs more
than last years, but the season tickets
will be the same, $3.50.
Electric light and water bills are IN |
fashion now. 1t will be we'll to remember |
the fifteen day limit. However, it comes
somewhat hard to have these bills come |
at one time for the heaviest six months |
in the year. If we must pay mi-annually |
better make it January and July, and |
thus even up and make it easier to pay. |
Better still, go back to the old way,
quarterly. This may require a little more
bookkeeping, but it is much easier for
people to pay quarterly than once
in six months. "Think it over"

Moses Leach, postmaster and town
clerk of Wolcott, was in town Mopdav on
probate business. Mr.. Leach, in smile If
his "a years, is still quite active in busi-
ness. At the last town meeting he was
reelected town clerk unanimously. A
striking coincidence is the fact that on
the same date forty years ago, March 5,
1872, he was unanimously elected town
clerk and has retained the Office continu-
ously. His records as clerk are correct
and well kept and that is the secret of
his long service. He has been postmaster
ION and off, during that time. When
Cleveland was President, be gave way to
men of that party, but when the admin
tstratibn reverted to the Republicans, he
as re- Bstated. Mr.. Leach not only has
