The recent issuance of circular sole.

management of the Fitchburg road al
against the opposition element has called
out these comments from the Beacon in
/ its issue last week at is a fitting en-
dorssment of the ability and integrity OF
the Fitchburg management, not essen

opposition comes entirely from former

Der Of honest, misguided individuals,
who easily could, if they would, know
all the facts, but who are at present ig-

never in better condition than today,
and its stockholders will in the near fut-

wise foresight and enterprise of their
directors, who have brought 1t up from
mere local road to an important, COM
plete and surely profitable trunk line,
second to none in Massachusetts. The
men who own the road fully appreciate
this fact, and are in hearty sympathy
and full approval of the management in
every way. Knowing and fully appre-
ciating the fact that it is quite as impor-
tant to prepare for tomorrow as to live
today, and a corporation or individual
who does not grow, but is content to try
and stay as they are, very soon find
themselves left far in the rear, and their
business entirely taken away by more
enterprIsing neighbors. If honesty
ability, integrity, enterprise and prop

DRAINAGE CLAIMS.
The Last of Them Allowed by the Stat

The Last of Them Allowed by the State
Board of Examiners.
The State Board of Examiners has al
lowed the claims incurred under the Act to
promote drainage, and which were left I'M
audited by the Drainage Commissioners
when the Supreme Court decided that the
law under which they were acting was I'M
constitutional
The late Legislature provided for an APP
preparation of some $4,000 to meet these
unaudited claims, and when the Controller
draws his warrants for the payment of the
same the drainage claims will be thing OF
the past.
There is still pending before the Board of
Examiners demand of Judge Craddock
TOR about $1,000. The Supreme Court re-
Gently decided. in the case of Callahan VS..
Dunn, which it has been held involved the
legality of the Craddock claim, that the
State was not authorized to pay this class
of claims
Judge Craddock now contends that his
demand comes within the Act providing
for the payment of unaudited claims. The
Board OF Examiners has the matter under
advisement.

for champion in The Gar, and they are
not likely to be disappointed. AT the

Prolific Bugs.

r. A. Spencer reports having recently
placed couple of codlin-moths, taken
from an E-sIeet garden, in the small brass
tube of magnifying-glass, and there safely
confined them. A few days later the moths
were dead, but in their stead were hundreds
of the little red spiders that do such deadly
work on fruit trees. This fact shows that
orchardists cannot regard their trees as
safe by simply killing off the Goblin
moths, but must keep up the warfare
against their progeny.
