But the small boy did not intend that the town should forget that on the Fourth of July, 1776. we cut loose from King George Ili, so he started at dawn of day with his pistol, and, in a sort of imitation of the fusillade at Lexington, he awoke the people to the fact that the Fourth of July had begun and that he was going to | imitate the soldiers of Bunker Hill and stand by independence until his ammunition gave out. Many Alexandrians went to Washington, others to the country. but most remained at home and passed the day as other days. CHURCH EXTENSION.

Hyattsvinte, Mp., July 8, 1892. The single-tax eystem, which was adopted by the town commissioners at their recent meet- ing, has been the chief topic of conversation among the taxpayers here since its passage. There isa diversity of opinion upon the sub- Ject, some being opposed to it upon the ground that it fails to assess property in accordance with ite real value and differs from the manner in which taxes are levied in other towns. ‘They also question the right of the commissioners in passing such a measure. Others are highly in favor of the new system and think it will be of great benefit to the town, as it encourages building and improvements and offers no in- ducements whatever to parties who hold prop- erty for speculation A m of the citizens will be held on Wednesday evesiog for the purpose of discussing the legality of measure.
