MR. JINKS,
As the time is near at hand, when the electors are to choose one or more persons to represent them in General Court: and as it requisite to select men of talents and integrity who are acquainted with the mechanic, commercial and mercantile interests of the town I take leave to nominate
Maj. LEMUEL WEEKS, and
EBENEZER MAYO, Esq
to represent us the ensuing year. Nothing be said to recommend men who are so well known for their general information, uprightness of character, and solicitude for the welfare of the town.
