Orleans County Organization Works
Smoothly. Educational Bill Un-
popular. Saturday Session.

Orleans county probably has the
best county organization of it's mem
bers in the state Regular meetings
are held and important matters and
bills discussed and so far as practical
the county works as unit This does
not mean that individual members do
not act their own pleasure and will in
voting upon every measure but it does
mean that a thorough understanding
Of all matters is brought out in these
meetings and the members feel well
paid for rather strict attendance upon
them.
1t is hard to find much sentiment for
the educational bill. While a great
majority will admit that they have not
read it through carefully, there is a
general feeling that the main features
Of the bill are so radical that it cannot
become a law.
The smaller towns especially feel
that too much authority over their
schools is given 20 OUTSIDE authority.
There appears to be htila chance for
the bill, either in its entirety. tr its

The Annual Town Report.

The town report for the year ending
Jan. 31st will soon be in the hands of
the voters. Comparisons are not
always of actual value in determining
just how the business of each succeed
ing year is conducted and conditions
are continually arising which make
these reports seem widely to diverge.
The present net liabilities of the town
seem to be in excess of the liabilities
of a year ago. Considerable of the
expense account carried over is due to
the strip of road built at South Barton
to the Sutton line of which amount
the railroad company still owes about
$4,000, they paying 65 per cent Of this
hill, and this amount due from the
railroad company is of course still an
asset of the town. The town farm
was disposed of last year and the town
poor have been cared for in private
families. This expense seems to be
high, but it is an expense that cannot
be regulated in the same manner as
roads and bridges. The health officer S
report shows the effect of oIr epidemic
of infantile paralysis. but is no larger
than other years, and aside from this
epidemic. other expenses have been
very light. The road commissioners
report compares favorably with that
of other years. The superintendent of
state road work shows about S270O
expended IN the long strip of state
road from Orleans up the Willoughby
river, where an exceptionally poor
road has been changed to- one of the
best roads in the county. Another
short strip of state road was put in
near the Hinton place. Glover. which
much improves the highway at that
place. The town agents report shows
| that there is an unsettled litigation
| between Barton and the town OF
Lowell. wherein Lowell claims damag-
es through the so called negligence OF
a, town officer in the Stephenson case.

"What do you see as you look into the

you look at life-opportunities to do
good, to serve, or to make money, to
waste in idleness or pleasure? What
do you see in your influence, and in
that which is called sin? Do you see
in Jesus Christ the Son of God or only
mani Do you see in the church its
high aims and holy purposes, or only
it's wrinkles and blemishes? What do
you see in the future-light, or dark

Band Concert.

The Barton Cornet band are to give
a concert in Savers opera hall tomor-
row. Thursday, evening There are
nine exceptionally good selections on
the program, ranging from Ruben
STEMS Melody in F to ga Long Way
to Tipperary." Everyone must agree
that the band is certainly great
source of pleasure in town during the
summer months. The attendance at
the band concerts is abundant proof
that such is the case, but we do, not
remember a time when our towns
people have literally patronized one of
their concerts. If everyone is willing
to stroll about the park or grand stand
in the summer and listen to the excel
lent concerts Saturday evenings, there
ought to be a feeling of reciprocity
and now that the band is giving con-
cert at which the small admission ten
cents is being charged. there should
not be vacant seat in the hail to-
morrow night. After the concert there
will be dance at which the Gem
orchestra will furnish music, the ad-
mission to which is only 80 cents a
couple and there should be so many
couples OF the floor that the fox trot
and tango twirl will resemble run on
the First National bank. The outly-
| ing population of our town, who gladly
come in, ummer evenings, ought to
remember that this concert and dance
is given by the same fellows who so
roy ally entertain them during the sum-
mer and that the moral support given
the boys bv their presence at this
c0ncert will be appreciated. Our
| band is fine institution. Let's turn
out and show them that we know and
appreciate it.
