committee of citizens OF the town have
worked arduously to make 1t success.
The liberality of the town meeting was
the financial stepping stone, and contri-
buttons have also come in from the citi-

have progressed favorably, and with the
repetition OF today's weather, all will be
we'll carried out, and amusement fur

Sundays Bill OF Fare.
Sunday was quiet day in some parts of
the village, although In other parts the
noise that was made more than discounted
the quiet locality. Dexter street took the
lead In the liquor line and considerable
| drunkenness was noticed, although not
| of sufficient character to warrant ar
rests. Pork pie dealers did their usual
good trade, and IL is safe to say that the
Sunday business Is no better since new
officers were elected.
Young America was alive, and
frequently Fourth of July was
heard In earnest. The down.
town liquor dealers took good
view of the situation, and closed up
shop to all outward appearances. Town
Sergeant Keene made his regular exterior
inspection. Many from here patronized
| the Pawtucket steamers and the morn
ing call of the alarm box 142 OF the fire
department changed the sound Of the
church bells. There was fight near the
corner OF Clay street, but 1t was Just over
| the line and no arrests were made. The
churches were all we'll attended, and
showed that portion of the population
"remem bered the Sabbath day and kept
1t holy"
| Made Fine Showing.
Branch 265, Catholic Knights of America,
made an extra fine showing Sunday after
noon as they marched to the depot to
| take the train for Providence to take part
In the grand exercises of laying the COR
ner stone OF st. Joseph's Hospital. They
complied with the general orders, wear
ing straw hats, dark clothes, white gloves
and carrying canes. They carried many
OF the older members with them.

member of Court Central, A. o. f., will
