UP THE Valley
Petition in Circulation to
Abate a Nuisance.
Funeral of Mrs. Elizabeth Cole
man at st. PatriCk'S Church.
Daniel Ward Of Prospect Hill, Lousdale,
Stricken With Paralysis Notes.

petition is in circulation in Lonsdale,
Old Village, and among the residents OF
Prospect Hill for the purpose of presenting
to the Town Council OF Lincoln In order
that they may take some action in abating
the peddlers' nuisance. The villages along
the Blackstone Valley are over-run every
summer by peddlers from Providence who
make life unbearable for the inhabitants.
No place is this nuisance more noticeable
than on Prospect Hill. There Is certain
class Of these venders who purchase job
lots of vegetables from the produce mer-
chants OF Providence at reduced rates and
hawk the same through these villages.
The vegetables carried by these people
are not of the purest and freshest kind; 1t
has been found in many instances that
they were decayed and really unfit for use.
But this is not the only objection to
these itinerant merchants. From early
morn until late at night they go from
street to street bawling out their wares in
a manner most annoying.
The nuisance has become so pronounced
that the people are determined to try and
put a stop to 1t. 1t Is hoped when the
council receives these petitions that they
the necessity for this abatement is urgent.
