CENTRAL FALLS.

" D
September 4th, isa legal holiday the fall,
term OF the public schools will not begin
until Tuesday morning, September 9Th.
Never before In the history OF The town
have all OF the houses of learning been so
thoroughly improved both inside and out
as during the present Summer vacation,
and In comparison with the amount OF
work done the expense has not been very
great. Every building In the town OF
Lincoln has received its needed attention,
and will give a pleasant and inviting ap-
pearance to the pupils upon entering for
the Fall and Winter terms.
The Broad street school has been cleaned
and repainted where necessary, while the
trimmings of the brick Garfield school
have received paint, which adds much to
its appearance, The addition at the
Lonsdale building will now give six rooms
instead of three, which for some time has
been required In this locality. At the
Hunt street building the repairs from
time to time had been so neglected that
the interior was In a very poor condition,
and a complete renovation with new fur
niture has been provided.
A much needed Improvement will be
I'm the esta biishing of new and more COM
Portable quarters for Superintendent
Draper, his assistant and the truant Of
ticer. A large room In the High School
building Is being fitted up for their use
and will be ready for occupancy about
September list. The entrance will be from
Broad s.reet and will not interfere with
the work In the other parts of the
building. A large room with a private
Office. also small room for Truant Officer
Cowperthwa and good sized storeroom
for supplies Will comprise the new apart
ments. This change will do away with
the present quarters at the Town House,
which win probably revert back to the
sewer commissioners.
Superintendent Draper n exceedingly
busy Just now getting everything In
readiness for the wheels to turn Tuesday
morning, September 9Th. .
There has been no change OF teachers,
and the same books Will be used. Supple

awarded to Boston firm and Phillips n
Smith.

Tells on the Streets.
The shutting down of several of the
large Establishments In this village and
Pawtucket make large difference to the
appearance OF the streets during the day
time, where upon nearly every corner
knots of men stand and converse about
the situation. There has been no extra
amount of complaint to the proper au-
thorities regarding the hard times and all
seem to think the trouble will be of short
duration. The closing of the immense
pant OF the Greene Il Daniels Manufactu-
ring Company has added more to the al
ready unemployed people, who have not
been compelled to loaf for shut down In
great manv years. The mill of the Paw
tucket Hair Cloth Company began busi-
ness Monday morning with the full num-
ber OF operatives, and the usual noise
which has been missed for two weeks in
that locality is welcome sound to all.
The District Court.

drunkenness. The case against Cornelius
