broken but he was severely bruised. He
is improving rapidly.
A fire in one of the houses near the
toll bridge Sunday caused a little eX-
element. The alarm couldn't be sounded
because steam was too low. Some chill
dren set paper afire in the water closet.
| No damage was done.
Last Thursday, Rev. j. F. Rhoades
took the boys of the Universalist society
for long drive, filling four-horse bus
full of the happy lads. Mr.. Rhoades
drove the four finland himself to reduce
the chance for accident to minimum.

first in the contest.
Sylvester Tidd of North Walpole died
June II. He has been suffering from the
effects of a shock for several years. He
came over this side of the river, went
home and laid down and never stirred
again. The body was buried at Clare
mont, his former home.
The work of stringing the fire alarm
wires was begun on Atkin son street
Tuesday. The location of the boxes is
not yet definitely decided, but they will
be evenly distributed so that all parts of
the village will have the same opportu-
mites for pulling in an alarm.
Fred Cass, whose case was briefly
mentioned last week, has never re-
gained consciousness. The iron struck
just above the left eye, crushing in the
skull, and ~ pieces of bone were taken
out of the brain. 1t is impossible to pre-
dict whether he will get well or not.
Don't forget to attend the picnic given
by st. Peters parish, North Walpole,
July 4. A grand program of sports has
been arranged and all may be sure of an
enjoyable day. By the way, have you
noticed the patriotic posters issued from
THE TIMES press to advertise the occa-
sion? 1t is good job.
George A. Howard and Miss Grace
Reyes were married at st. James Epis-

gage master on the Fitchburg road.
The Abenaqui Hose company, with the
drum crops as escort, paraded the princi-
pal streets Tuesday evening. The boys

including square topped cap with Wis
or. The uniforms are tasteful without
being snowy.
THE TIMES regrets the decision of Mr..
Ladd to sell out and retire from the con-
duct of the Commercial House, as noted
in an advertising column. From his
statement of the case as well as by CON-
mon report, it is easy to understand why
the house without the sale of liquor fails
to meet expenses which were not excess
i've when an open bar was feature. II
may be some time before the Commercial
House is run by more popular landlord
Two befuddled boobies made night
hideous in the vicinity of Atkinson and
