North Attleboro wanted to get into Paw

Attleboro. The volume Of trade began
very large aud continued so. 1t is very
pleasant route, and the road Is very cosy
one to ride on.
Attleboro people are anxious for. their
branch of the Interstate road. but there Is
no crossing yet at Hebronville.

For some time Lewis Girard. who has
been running grocery store, has been
| contemplating changing his placs of
bus ness. After looking around for
desirable location he made arrangements
with Mrs. O'Donuell TO rent the store
farmerly kept by Joseph Mongoe on
School street.
Consequently Mr.. Girard set carpen-
tractors, TO work to build him an ice
chest SO that IL would be In readiness
upon his taking possession.
The carpenter had hardly commenced
work when Hugh O'Donnell. the lady's
husband arrived and asked him ii 1t
wasn't very hot day. The carpenter
said he thought it was, whereupon Mr..
Q'Donnell SAID he would arrange 1t SO
that he could receive more air.
He Immediately unhinged the doors
and took ont the windows, carrying them
away that evening and telling the car
penter whatever he put up he would take
down, at least that's what the carpenter
says.
Mr.. O'Donnell and his wife have not
lived together for number of years, and
Mrs O'Donnell receives An allowance OF a
certain sum per annum from her husband
granted bv the courts.
Mrs. O'Donnell claims she is entitled to

work will proceed. while Mr.. O'Donnell
says he will bet 800 To five cents that
Girard will not occupy the store as ten

Previous TO the financial town meeting
to BE- held at Apponaug, Sept. z, a matter
of great Importance and one which will
be of great value to the young, will be
brought before the citizens of the town,
aud will supply long-felt want, viz (:
The erection of new high school build
ing thus enabling the scholars who are
attending the schools i'm the eighteen dis
tricts in the town to obtain high school
education at home with but little ex-
pense
It is expected that considerable discus
sion will ensue iu regard TO the matter
anR upon the question where the new
building will be erected, but in the end
it will probably be erected in the village
of Natick, which at present has n popula-
tion of about 1000 inhabitants, the
largest manufacturing establishment and
six school departments, being, without
doubt, the largest village In the town.
Another reason given which is of great
Importance Is that a tract of land could
be secured near the two railroads upon
which the structure could be built and
scholars could easily reach the schools by
means of the cars from all parts of the
town.
The objection to such building being
erected ia Phenix, as has been mentioned
by some, would be so great that the OBJ
ject OF giving tue graduates of the gram
mar schools high school education
would never be attained.
Phenix being situated In the extreme
western part OF the town adjoining the
Coventry line, would be out Of the way
