100 YEARS AGO
Tho annual meeting which was
holden In this town on Monday, for
the election of Town Officers, etc.,
for the ensuing year, was more
fhlly attended than was to have
been expected , from the unfavor-
able state of the weather—and In-
stead of occupying three days to do
the Town 's business, as was repre-
sented last year by thoBe desiring
a division of the town—the entire
work wus done up, and the meet-
ing dissolved before 3 o'clock p.m'.
Daniel Basset, Esq., democrat,
was chosen Moderator by a hand-
some majority. The democrats,
however, wore not so successful
I in the election of all their candi-
dates. The whlgs, who profess to
have such a holy horror and utter
I contempt for coalitions, everywhere,
united with the Free Soil party—
defeated tho democratic ticket and
elected for Selectmen,
! Daniel Basset, democrat
Frederick Scudder, whig
Lothrop DnviB, free soil
We have occasional complnin 's
from our village subscribers that
their papers are mysteriously miss-
ing! It has lieen discovered , recent-
ly, that a certain Individual , who is
[
not a subscriber to the Patriot, Is
in the habit of sending it to friends
, abroad. Should this practice be con-
1 tlnued , we shall feel compelled to
expose him, in UIIB as well as some
other mean business which he has
been more than once detected In.

The bill to reorganize nnd in-
I crease the standing army to about
100,000 men , but leaving the Presi-
dent authority to reduce the size
of Infantry companies and cavalry
troops to 60 men each , thus fixing
I a minimum of about 50,000 enlisted
. men, pnssed the House last Tues-
I day by a vote of 108-125.
That Cape Cod Canal project
dies hard , but It Is dying neverthe-
less. It will be good news to tell
when the end comes.
The ladies who had charge of
the musical and literary entertain-
. ment which was given at Howard
1 Hull last Tuesday evening, fully ap-
preciated the efforts ot the people
who ventured out of a story eve-
1 nine, arid thus aided them in mnk-
¦ing their entertainment a success,
and send their thanks to all who ln
any way, rendered their services.

hours , it is time there should be
complaints entered.

I register for the draft?" "Where
can we buy or rent a stroller?"
"Can we take our car to Boston on
the Provlncetown Boat?" "How
large is the boat from here to Nan-
tucket?" "Is it safe?"
This one almost stumped me.
"Can you help us find some friends
who are building a house in Chat-
ham?" No other address , so I called
1 Nlckerson Lumber Co, and gave
their name. They told me the loca-
tion in South Chatham. Another
asked, "Can you locate some
friends of ours, who are renting a
cottage near the Beach, they have
no phone , address la General De-
livery?" The most difficult was
"Where is my Grandfather bur-
led?" She gave me his name, and
as a girl I remembered where he
lived , so after calling my mother,
asking which church be attended ,
etc., 1 had enough Information to
send her to Mr. Denson to con-
firm ir it was the Universallst
cemetery.
"Why are there no seats on the
sidewalks aB they have in Flor-
ida? We are tired and want to
rest." One Canadian woman asked
for Richfield Gas Station as they
are allowed only $150 per person
to spend In the United States dur-
ing one year for Holiday, as they
call It. She hail spent most of her
money and could not get home un-
less she could use her courtesy
card for Riclifleld Gas.
Hundreds asked for the Swing-
ing Basket Gift Shop and It was
called many names, as The Sewing
Basket , Swinging Door, Swinging
Bucket. Wishing Well Gardens and
finally the Whistling Oyster.
Saying that she received many
long distance calls from New York
Springfield , and Boston .asking her
to Ilnd reservations for them , to
be ready upon arrival , Miss Nlck-
erson had a call from a doctor in
Boston who had been there earlier
m the summer , asking for a room
I for the weekend. He would arrive
about 1
1 p.m., bow would he know
where to go. I told him I would
leave a map of Chatham with the
directions at the Police Station.
One coupl e asked for a room for
one night. Later I found they re-
mained live nights , bought a piece
of land and talked to a contractor
about building a house, as they
fell In love with Chatham.
Some of the questions were very
unusual as you will see. Although
» no one asked me how to skin a Tuu-
tog aB they did Mrs. Mutteson.
Unbelieveable, but . . .
