are good men for the positions and i
elected we feel sure would give salts
faction to the tax payers. We take i
for granted that the present tow
treasurer will be reelected as he ha
made very good record and iron
what we have heard has made one o
the best treasurers the town has hat
in a number of years. The town
clerks Office should be on this side OF
the "hill' as almost two thirds of tht
business is from this side. 1t shoulc
be located either in South Dorset oil
Dorset. Our present clerk has made
a good record, but unfortunately fol
the town he has been in the employ
of the government most of the time
and as a result the town has suffered
somewhat through his absence. AT
this writing we have not heard any
names mentioned for the position.
The following letter from Dorset
lite who is still interested in our vii
lage might prove of interest to other
Dorset men and women who are long
way from their native place and yet
have soft spot in their heart for the
old home town:

"Mr. r. M. Campbell
Dorset, VT.
"Dear friend Campbell
"Our home paper, The Manchester
Journal comes to US every Friday and
Mrs. Barrows and myself eagerly
watch for it. In the evening we have
a visit with Dorset people. There is
no place the sun shines so bright or the
grass grows SO green as dear old Dor
set and we mark with great interest
what it has done for the country in its
great call for help also the work done
by the Red Cross.
ave note the library has no flag.
The thought came to us why not start
flag fund so Old Glory could wave
over the building. We enclose here
with one dollar to start it with and
thought that others away from Dorset
would be more than glad to do their
bit
ave feel we ought to thank you for
the many interesting items that ap-|
pear in the issues of the Journal and
the more the merrier.
How are you fixed for snow? Wei
have a little we will be glad to let you
have and quite little the linemen
here don't have to have climbers to fix
their telephone wires.
Very cordially yours,
GEO. H. BARROWS." !
