 Whistle Repaired.
 The fire whistle at the Bristol Mills has been repaireA by Fire Chief Ed ward P.

REPUBLICAN CAUCUS NEXT MONDAY NIGHT
To Nominate Candidates for Town
 OMCeS at That Time
REGISTRARS KEPT BUSY

I1hcs "eek Tor Safcty-NeW Owners of Hird Store Take Charge Items of Interest.
 The political pot in Plainville is just commencing to simmer and the par | ties are beginning to sit up and take notice. The annual town election for offices will be held on October 3. A notice has been posted by Edwin H. Hills, chairman of the republican town committee, that there will be a republican caucus held at the Town Hall on Monday night, September 12, at s o'clock for the purpose of nom mating candidates for town offices. This will be the first caucus of the election this year.
 Although there have been no names mentioned as yet as to who will en- ter the race, there have been rumors pro and con as to who will be in it. Selectman William J. John son, having served in that office for several terms, will undoubtedly be in the hmelight again. MT. Johnson has many packers in the town and has acted we'll in this capacity. His report for the year ending August 16 shows that through various channels he has been able to keep down some of the expenses for the town. This is one of the main items of a select mans duty and MT. Johnson has served it we'll.
 Nothing definite, however has been said as to the applicants for the oth- CT offices and it is most likely that the present holders will seek renom- nation. A lively time nevertheless is expected now with the women on the voting lists and without a doubt they will make some surprising changes when the time comes.
 Registrars Busy.
 The registrars of voters, Joseph N. McKernan and Alfred D. Cady, put in a busy session at the Town Hall yes- terday when they arranged the list for the ito be made voters. There were about 3s0 names received and these will be made voters on Sep tember IT at the Town Hall. The selectmen and registrars of voters will then be in session to swear them in between 9 o'clock in the morning and o'clock in the afternoon.
 Of the number of names received yesterday, there were but 160 men. That left a total of 220 women who will enter the polling places when the election comes next month. The women of the town are taking a de-

well Is creating great excitement. as
the drill has reached the top Of a

THE printing for the county which
amounts thousands Of dollars,
should be similarly looked after. AS
ii is now the county Ia being over

is being overcharged for many other
things it buys at random and in
small lots.

months, fully pay for an electrical

Road Dragging Unsatisfactory
Il recommend that no funds be
set aside for road dragging purposes
as this work Is Of such a brief un-
satisfactory and expensive nature. that
1t is of no benefit to the county,
II would like to request that the

cutting off all useless employees and
other Unnecessary expenses.

and accord, set aside all personal pre-
judices, II any, and all ambitious
pride, and try to serve only the best
interest of the county.
