HISTORY OF CANDIA.
TOWN MEETINGS.
The annual town meetings sixty years ago were regard- ed as very important events and in case the weather was fine, nearly all the citizens, except those who were disabled by age or sickness, were present. The town meeting was regarded as a holiday by the young men and boys, and some of them earned a few cents by selling molasses can- dy, which they had manufactured at their homes. Until 1838, the meetings were held in the old Congregational meeting house. The moderator, town clerk and selectmen occupied the deacon's seats below and in front of the high pulpit. The check-list and other papers were spread out upon the communion table, which was hung on hinges and supported in a horizontal position by a moveable brace at- tached to its underside. The old house was burned in Jan., 1838, and the town meeting took place that year in the Bap - tist church at the Village. The new Congregational church was finished in 1839, and since that time the elections have taken place in the vestry of that building. Within fifty years there have been several attempts to secure a vote of the citizens of the town to erect a town house, but all ef- forts in that direction have failed.
