the vaguest idea of his whereabouts was
mystery.

Handsome Flowers.
Lovers Of flowers are invsribly breaking
the commandments as they pass
the residence of Judge Phillips in John
ston and note the brilliant display.
His yard is a blaze of color as early i'm the
season as it is, and every individual flower
shows that it is cared for. The neigh bors
are as proud Of that yard as the Judge is,
and it will pay any one to 60 by the
house and see the flowers.
Local Notes.
IL was reported In Olneyville that the
redoubtable Barney Cannon had got
enough OF his crusade and had left the
Swiftites, He thinks he made q big
mistake when he ommitted to get in with
his own people and be the leader. He Is
not expected back here, however.
No arrests were reported at the Sixth
statson last night and no cases were re-
ported at the District Court.
The question of the Johnston sewer is
being vigorously discussed, and 1t appears
now from the drift Of public opinion that
the sewer will be voted for at the financial
town meeting.
