To any who have neglected TO pays visit
to the collection OF oil paintings generous
ly placed on exhibition at the Public
Library by Miss Eddy, an early visit is
advised. There are only thirty paintings
included but they are all gems, the majority
by we'll known artists.
The collection is evidently made by one
who appreciates art and every art lover
will enjoy looking over the collection.
The public are cordially invited to attend.
A Bit Of Carelcssness.
Either the town authorities of Johnston
are careless, or the insurance inspectors
are unsuspicious as well as careless, or
both. Within 100 feet of the new school
building on Johnston avenue and within
the limits of the street there Is an old
shed that has been used by the Globe
Lighting Co. for the storage OF naptha,
and at the present time there is
probably about half dozen barrels OF
this infiammable II uid stored there. Should
that shed take fire from any cause the
effect might be disastrous TO the building
and it is doubtful il the town could coll
Iect the insurance. II might pay for some
one to investigate this matter before there
is an accident.
Library TO Open Sundays.
The trustees Of the Olneyville Free Lii
brary held meeting Saturday evening
and voted TO open the reading room each
Sunday afternoon from to . O'Clock.
This will afford many boys and young men
quiet place to spend the afternoons and
cannot fail to keep inany off the street
1t is a move that will be appreciated by
all.
a Boys' Club.
Another move in the same direction is
the effort to be made by Miss Eddy to es-
tablish boys club at Olneyville, and for
which purpose il was voted at the meet
ing OF the trustees of the library to allow
her the use of the hall at a nominal charge.
The idea is to attract the boys by giving
them pleasant place TO go, and at the
same time give them helpful instruction.
1t is a grand scheme and it is to be earn
estly hoped that 1t may be carried out as
1t is the very thing needed
in the vicinity and - the good it
would accomplish is scarcely TO be rea-
lized. 1t is also Miss Eddy's idea to have
a class for young women IL it can bc
managed and help them to improve their
minds and enjoy social advantages. Miss
Eddy has not as yet fully matured her
plans, but doubtless everything Will be
settled in the near future.
Little Locals.
The town council will be asked i'm a few
DAYS 10 act as an advisory committee i'm

entered from that judgment The indi-
cations are that the case will be carried to

There are an unusually large number of
deaths in the town lately and funeral pro-
cessions pass the square at alarmingly
frequent intervals.
