Roy Bresce has purchased the Kelsey place at Lake Dunmore. The Kelsey farm lies on the east shore of Lake Dunmote in Salisbury, and extends from the water front back into the foothills of old Moosalamoo. The farm contains 155 acres, more or less, divided between wood land and tilliable land. However it is not its number os acres that makes this tarm, in the opinion of experts, the most valuable parcle of property on this beautiful lake, but the ideal location of its acres The Kelsey place has broad frontage on the lake, and it fronts the lake at its widest point. Its fine sandy beach, extending out into the lake several hundred teet, has no rival in this vicinity as bathing resort.

The house, facing the located 100 from the lake the land sloping beautifully to the waters edge.

For a diversity of beautiful seenery the Kelsey place is without peer in this vicinity and for the past 50 years has been a popular resort for pleasure seekers and sportsmen. What Mr. Bresce's intentions are in regard to this we have not beard, but his dispostion is to improve everything, and the Kelsey place will not suffer under his management.

Six-hundred male citizens of Brandon congregated in Town hall last Tuesday, elected officers, made rules and regulations and appropriations under which the business of the town of Brandon shall be conducted for the ensuing vear. The men there gathered, although neighbors, were composed of different actions, were divided in their opinions upon the questions at issue, strenuously opposed to one another upon some of the principles which the ballot decided should prevail for another year vet through the whole meeting ran an under currant of regard for a neighbor's opinion, and all differences were adjusted with a smile rather than a frown. In the six hours that the voters were crowding and pushing and jamming their way to the ballot box, sometimes flaunting their ballot in the face of the man they were crowding. not one particle of bad temper was exhibited. There were nearly 600 voters, sober, orderly and gentlemanly and they conducted as orderly a town meeting as ever was held in any town.

At 10 o'clock the polls were declared open and the first business was the electing of F. H. Farrington for moderator. Mr. Farrington grasped the gavel and from that moment the business of the day moved continuously.

$. W. Jones was elected town clerk and F. E. Chandler selectman for three years, both by acclamation and W.

F. Scott was quickly eleeted town treasurer in the same manner. The office of overseer of poor was next in order to fill' and the plums that are here growing from the low limbs tempted two candidates to enter the field. This was the first ballot for town officers and the result was L. F.

Nichois 137 L. A. Severy 122 W. C. Fletcher was then elected first constable and Charles Degarmo by acclamation.

For lister tor three years. J. T. Harris contested the re- election of Frank P. Cooke and the ballot again resorted to.

The result was F. P. Cooke 254 J. T. Harris 68 H.

W. F. Scott, trustee of public money and Frank W. Williams town grand juror by acclamation when the ticket was complete down to road commissioner. To elect a road commissioner required ballot, the result of which was fol- lows: E.

R. Rising 217 W. F. Walsh 174 G. Richardson 34 Alter the election of road commissioner was disposed of the box was turned for town school director and while the count was in progress F.

H. Farrington elected town agent. The count for town school director showed tie rote for Burt Cook and Elmer Hack, each having 74 rotes to their credit. On 1 the next ballot Mr. Cook was elected.

The seventh article in the warning-to see if the town would authorize the selectmen to take over the property of the Brandon Sewer Association-Wa now called to the attention of the meet ing and it was at once crident that th residents of the town school districts would fight the proposition, though whr ther should not quite dent. Here is a sewer, built and owned by private corporation traversing three of the principle streets and in good repair. The association offers to give to the town and the town br rote of 129 to 104 refused to accept it. The is balf-a-dozen fa milies or 90 along the streets that are not connected wick cannot be compelled to while the sewer is owned by a rate corporation.
