The olliclal ballots are now being pre pared, and the voting w ill be. by the same method as one year ago. Full otllclal In stiuctlons to voters will be posted at the town hall on the day of the meeting. In view of the fact that one year ago .": bal lots were thrown out because they were im properly marked, It is In order to caution all voters to read the Instructions carefully, especially with a view to the suitable mark ing of their ballots. A place is provided in a little square at the right of eacli name to lie voted for, where the voter is to place his mark, anil this mark, in fact, constitutes ills vote. Each name for which a voter wishes to cast his ballot must be marked. If any name is wrongly marked it does not count for a vote under the law. In voting for selectmen, auditors, listers, etc., where more than one otlicer of a kind is to be elected, the name of each must be marked. There are blanks for writing in the names of persons other than those not otli cially nominated. If a voter spoils a ballot he must return it to the ballot clerk, who will give him another, each voter being entitled to three ballots in all if he has need to use so many. No voter is allowed to carry away a spoiled ballot. After marking the names of those can didates for which lie wishes to vote the voter must fold his ballot so as to show the otlicial endorsement on the back, keep it so folded and deliver it to the presiding ollicer. Any voter who for any reason Is unable to mark his own ballot may, upon request, have the help ol an elections ollicer in do ing this. There will, as last year, be two polling places in the hall, one for voters from A to K on the south side of the hall and from L to '. on the north side. We are requested to say that the names of Warren K. Kasou, Henry (J. Clark and George W. Walker are suggested as those suitable to be voted for for road commis sioners by those who wisli to have the present management changed. These names may be written in the blank places provid ed in the ollieial ballot for the purpose, and each one should then be marked with a cross in the space at the right hand. THE MILITARY BALL. Another Attractive .Social Kvrnt. Music that set one all awhlrl; a company of 100 couples, including fair young women In handsome toilets, military otllcers In the glittering insignia of their rank, privates of two companies in dress parade attire, civilians in evening dress, all moving "in the mazes" in a hall everywhere resplen dent with military decorations, Including national colors, star cloth, bunting, sabres, etc., etc.; windows concealed by mirrors and draperies; this, as a generalization, is something like the scene presented at the town hall last Monday evening, when the Estey Guard and Fuller Battery gave their annual concert and ball. Tho piece of re sistance in the decorations was a large bell, several feet in diameter, formed from Unit ed States flags and suspended from the centre of the hall. From the bell colored streamers were festooned to the sides of the hall. The company was a representa tive one, everything proceeded without friction, and the general verdict of the participants was that, in its way, the event was the acme of delight. The concert by Leitsinger's orchestra preceding the dance was of high merit, fully equaling any similar performance by that organization. The overture, "Sum mer night's dream," was particularly en trancing. Tills was the program: March, "New York ut night." Overture, "Hummer night's ilream," Suppe Solo for cornet, "Fimtnsie mllltnlre," Arnan Mr. Kewnll Muise. "American dance." Ilendix Quartet for brass instruments: I ii "Hunter's farewell," Mendelssohn I b Intermezzo from "Cavallerla Hustle-ana," Muscagnl Messrs. Morse, Ilrigham. Wyntt anil Ieltslnger. "ji.irkie's dream," Iby request) Lansing Finale, "Splash," Strauss The grand march was led by Maj. Bond and Miss Alice Clark. The dance program contained 22 numbers, and so enthusiastic ally did every one enter into tho spirit of the occasion that there was little thinning out of sets until the last figures were called, after .1 o'clock in the morning. The American llousoadded another suc cess to its reputation for providing excel lent suppers. In variety and quality the spread was all that could be desired. Among those who came home to attend the dance were Lieut. Gray Kstey, Frank Crosby and W. 1!. Goodrich of Boston, Carroll 1'arker of Fitchburg, Fred Crosby of Dartmouth college. Other guests from out of town were G. II. St.John of .Spring field, Lieut. Fields of Greenfield, Miss French of Xasliua, X. II., and Miss Mary Nlles of Bridgeport, Conn., Quartermaster Fuller of Montpelier, and Messrs. Harrison and Munson of the Greenfield Guards. A GOOD FARMING RECORD.

SHALL WE HAVE A STEAM ROAD ROLLER P It is to tie hoped that when the aiticle in the warrant with regard to the purchase of a stone-crusher comes up at the town meeting next Tuesday there may be dis cussion enough to indicate what Is the real sentiment of the town In regard to the road-making policy to be pursued. The time will inevitably come when It will be seen to be the economical policy in Brattle boro, as the people of Greenfield, Northamp ton and Keene have already found it, to enter upon a systematic course of making a little good and permanent highway every year. It has been said a hundred times, and will bear repeating a hundred times more, that If the town had begun -20 years ago to build 20 rods of permanent roadway every year it would now have something tangible to show for the money expended. Selectman Perry, who Is the practical road-maker of the board, has been away this week to investigate the stone-crusher question, so as to be able to make an intel ligent statement to the town when the question conies up. Within the present week a further practical suggestion on this subject has been brought to the attention of the selectmen and oilier prominent citi zens. Tills is a steam road-roller made, by the O. S. Kelly company of Springfield, Ohio, which is a machine designed for use in road making, not only as a roller in laying down macadam roads, but for making bard and durable roads with Hie ordinary soil of the country. These machines have a gross weight of from 10 to l." tons: they have a steel shell boiler of the locomotive plan, with the roller proper in front, and two tear rollers or driving wheels. They are fitted with a cab and are complete in ev ery respect for locomotive ne on any high way, going up and down bills with ease. Willi one featuie those who have examin ed the machine are much Impressed. Tills Is an arrangement whereby long, heavy spikes can be placed in the diiving rollers. digging up the road surface to a depth of severai inches, throwing out stones and refuse, and afterward rolling the whole down into a solid permanent surface. Should a stone crusher be bought the boiler and engine of this machine would furnish the power for driving It and break ing the stone without additional expense. In laying down broken stone for a macad amized road the Use of a heavy roller is absolutely necessary. To run a suitable roller by horse power in Brattleboro would require not less than six horses, and even then the work would be dillicult and un satisfactory. This machine would do the rolling, propelling itself up and down the hills as already stated. The matter is one which is wortli invest igating, and might to be. given due atten tion when the general subject comes up next Tuesday. BASE BALL. From the New York Press: "Pitcher Fred Woodcock, recently signed by Pitts burg, is a college graduate and is said to be a coming 'phcuom.' He is a left handed twlrier." The students of St. Johnsbury academy have raised over 1000 for the support of their team the coming season. DISTRICT NO. 0.
