pass by Mrs. Brown of This City.
Mrs Edgar ID. Brown, through her at
torney Thomas w. Robinson, has brought
suit to recover $500 from the Flint Com

on the installment plan. After the stove
had been paid for, more furniture was
purchased on the understanding that the
goods would prove satisfactory. Mrs

goods the stove was also taken, hence the

Interest In the Teachers
Contest Goes On Apace.
Miss Mabel EastOn Leads the
Central Falls List.


Interest In THE EVENING TRIBUNE's
voting contest is on the increase, and
many teachers In this city and Central
Falls are engaged in friendly rivalry.
An amusing feature of the contest Is the
way in which the pupils of the lower
grades set about to 'lectioneer for their
favorites.
One small boy called at tho Office this
noon and said he had small sun in his
bank and "If the TRIBUNE would send me
teacher" he would place the bank at the
disposal of the paper.
The young financier was told that s1.29
would hardly secure the prize for his
teacher, and he left to think of some other
way to carry out his plan.
The only change today Is that Miss
Easton takes the lead In the Central Falls
list, with Miss Agnes M. Curran close
second. This noon a number of ballots
were received for Miss Fairbrother.
Miss Carey's total would have been
greatly increased had the votes she re-
ceived this noon been counted in today's
total, but under the rules of the contest
the polls close at o'clock on the evening
before.
For the accommodation of workers for
the various teachers box In which ballots
can be deposited will be placed In DIR. Slat-
tery's Pharmacy in Main street square.
