SMALL POX
Six Cases Have Developed All
Very Mild-The Health officer
Expects No More Outbreaks

The small pox situation here con-
tinues to be somewhat of an un.
known quality, although the Health
Officer, DR.. Sargent, expects no new
developments.
A close quarantine has been
ordered, the schools, churches and
theatres closed and if no outbreaks
occur for the next few days there will
be good cause to believe no epidemic
will prevail.
Six cases have thus far developed
in two families, Goulette and Ovitt.

TOWN Meeting
Passed off Quietly and the VO-
ters Were Serious and Busi-
nesS-like in their work.

The annual town meeting was not
so much of a gala day affair as COM
mon. There was a seriousness pre-
vading the entire session showing
how patrioticaly the people were
meeting the conditions brought
about by the war and the great eff
fort necessary for each one to put
forth to successfully bring about it's
termination. These little town re-
publics, atoms of our great national
government, are meeting these obli-
cations with determined purpose
to turn every effort to the support
of the government and save and
conserve in municipal affairs as well
as in the homes.
There was a good delegation of
women voters and they cast around
twenty-five votes. The active part
of women in town meetings is sure
to bring about good results, and
every man who has a spark of admi-
ration for the gentler sex will well
come their participation in local,
state and national government.
The Vermont Committee of Public
Safety prepared programme and
at the request of Governor Graham,
at II o'clock, every town in the state
held a great patriotic meeting at
which this programme with one pre-
pared by the Liberty Loan Commit
tee of New England was read, "em,
phasizing the necessity of a patriotic
fulflIment Of our Obligations to our
country to our allies" and setting
forth the call for the next Liberty
Loan soon to be made. These were
read by l.. B. Jones and heartily
applauded by the voters.
The following business was then
transacted:
Moderator. J. S. Sweeney; clerk,
George L. Dyer; assistant town
clerk (appointed) Vivian Rooney;
school director for three years, DR..
