The first town-meeting was closed by tendering a vote of thanks to the moderator. and also to Silas E. Fales and William A. Jepson for the gift of a ballot-box.
TOWN CLERK .- The first town clerk was Mr. Silas E. Fales, who has been annually re-elected to the present time.
TOWN HOUSE .- The present town house was formerly the church build- ing belonging to the North Parish, and was erected in 1796. It was entirely remodeled in 1879, and is now a convenient, neat and attractive building, surmounted by a tower, in which is a clock, the gift of Mr. Josiah Ware. The building is beautifully located, and the tower affords an extensive view of the surrounding country.
At the first gubernatorial election held in the town William Claflin received eighty-eight votes, John Lewis Adams twenty-seven, and Wendell Phillips six.
INDUSTRIAL PURSUITS .- There is some manufacturing in the town, but the chief occupation is agriculture.
The City Mills are owned by the Rays, of Franklin. Rays' shoddy-mill is located on Stony Brook. There is also a paper-mill located at Highland Lake. There is also a small paper-mill in the west part of the town, in the building formerly owned by the Eliott Felting Company. There is a grist-mill at Norfolk Centre, owned by W. K. Gilmore. Highland Lake · is a pleasure-ground belonging to the New York and New England Railroad. It is a beautiful spot, and is much frequented during the summer season.
