An incident took place in Phenix a few
days ago which was very gratifying to at
least two persons. A man and wife who
had been thrown out of employment by
the strike at Olneyville came to that place
in search of work. They were in very
straitened circumstances. With no money,
faint from lack of food and tired out by
their long tramp from Olneyville, they
dropped into the W. Il. c. U. lunch rooms.
They were too proud to beg. and asked
the lady in charge to be permitted to rest
themselves. This was readily granted.
and soon the proprietress discovered that
they were actually suffering with hunger.
1t didn't take long for Der to prepare r.
big dinner for them, and the looks of
qualification expressed more than words
their thanks. The pastor of one of the
churches was then notified, lodgings were
secured for them, and the next day they
were provided with employment at Jack
son Mills, where they are now.-Paw-
tuxet Valley Times.
