 As the nominees for tax collector and town treasurer are also Rcpuhli- can candidates the selectmen and assessor are all the important posi- tions left to be fought over and in consequence party interest in the out come of the election is less than it has been in some previous years. 1 Those Democrats who voice obiec- tions 10 the adoption of Republican candidates are told that it was a measure of necessity due to the re- fusal of Democrats to accept places ! on the ticket. Some of the objectors i believe, however, that the lack of available material at hand might have 1 been supplied by preliminary scout ing of the properly energetic sort. It i is confidently predicted that the Dem ocrats will again elect two of the | three seleCtmen, as DriscUll, one of their candidates, has the advantage i of the experience gained from two terms of satisfactory service and Ser geant Sanford. his associate. is also l well qualified for the office besides possessing special popularity on ac- count of cnlisting soon after this 1 country entered the war and show ing on the battlefield a degree of | bravery which won him valor decora- tiOns from the American and British commands. There were general re- gret and disappointment in the eau GUS at the refusal of w. C. Sanford
 to again run for first seloctman. his declination being made on the plea of uncertain health. For the same l reason he rendered his resignation as chairman of the town committee. but upon the unanimous protest and in | s. stenCe of the caucus consented to l hold the position for another year on condition that all present should be- i come his assistants on the job. Un- i der the same friendly pressure he l consented to go on the ticket as a 1 board of relief candidate.
 In answer 10 a letter of inquiry from 1 the seleCtmeu, Highway Commission l CT Bennett writes that he has already 1 decided that Redding's allotment of 1 SS.O0O for additional state and road l construction should be applied to re- ] constructing the highway between i Georgetown and Bedding Center. He further announced that the job would not be undertaken until the comple- ! tion of the trunk highway now build ing. This means a delay of more than a year. About one mile of the pro- : jected cross-country road has already been built at the Georgetown end. : Two other locations were in view for Improvement under the present ap- . prupriatiOn. one the West RclGing , end of the Little Fork road and the 9 other the Bethel end of the George ] town road. The decision of Commits i sioncr Bennett will meet, however, j with general approval Besides serv-
 ing the needs of purely local traffic : the improved highway to Georgetown : will prove a convenience to the east side by providing a route for auto , travel considerably shorter than the . presen: available routes To -Iaw TOr:1. i Another proposed Improvement for : which the coming town meetings will : probably be asked 10 make special aDproprfation for is the batterment of . the crossroads lea ding from Lone ! town to what is now the Park road
 which is to become a part of the trunk highway.
 Why this baCkwardness on the part of our musical talent, and the town ] has plenty of it, in regards tc coming ] forward to help in the production of 1 Pinafore? TO the request that all WI ] ling to give their aid should so in l form the Rev. Mir. Cunningham only about a dozen have responded where ] hpi 1fr,- 1 a needed. For the old folks concerts of 1 three years ago there was no lack of ] volunteers and Pinaforc would seem l to be a much more alluring propos1- 1 tion. being sprightly. tuneful and fun nv all the way through with costumes and dramatic action to supplement | the other attra ctions. It was planned 1 to present the opera towards the lat i ter part of November for a run of 1 about a week in this and neighbor- | ing towns, the net proceeds going to
 the town hall building fund, but unless i the singers soon show a greater ais l position to cooperate, the project will | have to be given up. How would d | little awakening propaganda in the ! way of verse do? Ii is desperate i remedy, but here goes:
 | Come all you merry singing folks, 1 Cast off from the dullard shore, l And with joyous shout adventure out l On the good ship Pinafore.
 1 And while you make meiodious Voy- age.
 | Outbound for a glorious cause,
 The only storms your bark shall know Are the storms of glad applause. The Bradley house on the Ridge, recently purchased as a home for the Countess Turczynowicz and her fam ilv. was conveyed on Thursday last by Mrs Flora J. Bradley to Robert | Caldwell of New York. MT. Cald- well is a wealthy cotton merchant and has been associated with the , Countess in Red Cross and other Polish relief work. The latter will occupy her new home within short time.
 The five days grace allowed the road contractors to make good has been further extended by the super vision committee. All three con- tractors had been working diligently
 in the interval, but were somewhat
 hampered by bad weather. When their work is completed according to the standard fixed by the committee, a standard which only conforms 70 contract terms, the roads will be in better condition than they have been exapfiner policy
