WILL BE MODERN.
North Brookfsle Post Office to be Free
From Advertising.

North Brookfeld, Oct 1S.-A local
correspondent mentions the fact that
the public will be seriously inconveni-
enced by the announcement that no
tices of any character will not be per
mitted in the lobby of the new post
office. The fact has been pointed out
that legal and political notices are al
lowed to be stuck up on the walls of
the surrounding Offices
The real facts are that nearly half
the available wall space will be taken
up by the new boxes, and that remain
ing Will be covered with q wainscoat-
ing Of oak to the height of several feet.
MIR. Clark, who will be at a large ex-
pense in fitting UP the place, does not
wish to see the beauty of the lobby
marred by tacks, nails and posters, and
the postmaster, who also wishes the
office to have a good appearance, has
decided not to allow the posting of any
notices which he has a perfect right
to do under the post Office regulations,
and which is strictly enforced in all
offices in the larger places.
About a year ago the selectnen put a
number of bill boards in different parts
of the town, and they. can easily place
one on the outside near the post office,
which will be Of much greater benefit
to everybody.

WHERE AND WHEN.
Four men of the town hired team
of Stable-keeper Flagg Saturday and
went to take ride to Burrillville, r. l.
What time they arrived in Burrillyille
and what time they left, will probably
forever remain a mystery as their
senses We're so benumbed by the
amount of Jersey lightning" which
they had consumed before they reached
that place, that their minds became a
blank, Sufficient to say that they
arrived in John Flaggs stable at early
hour Sunday morning, attired in horse
blankets and other articles of horse
raiment which they had borrowed
from the farmers en- route. Their
clothes had been stolen at some place
along the road where they had stopped,
and they presented a very ludicrous ap-
pearance to the people who had seen
them coming home.
