until Thursday morning leaving over a
foot of heavy snow in its wake. The re

Thursday for the first time this winter
High drifts were reported in the exposed
spots outside the village and Thursday
morning Ralph Davis, driver of the
North Dexter stage. was unable to get his
team through. Stabling the horse in a
farmers barn he donned snow shoes and
walked into the village with the mail bag
over his back in time to dispatch the mail

The town reports will be in the hands
Of the voters Friday morning. The re-
port, this year, shows the town in good
condition financially with very few over

account also shows that a large number
of the old sewer assessments have been
collected and paid into the hands OF the
town treasurer, also a large number OF
