Why the Mix Had Such a Good
Color.
Annexation - Latest Notes From The
Square AM Vicinity.

A young man from Portland, Me-, with n
pronounced taste for chemistry IL spending
n few weeks with his aunt on Plainfield street,
and at the breakfast table the fhst morning
noticed that ths milk was OF very rich color,
so much so as 70 cause him to mistrust that
10 had been doctored He asked his aunt what
she thought Of il, and her answer was that
she thought IL was fine" for che had taken
milk from the same man for many years, and
A. was always the same. She intimated that
she had the utmost confidence In her mix
man." But the nephew though different ana
analysed portion Of the milk, and found
that the color was due Lambs Blood" and
other ingredients thst are known To mikmen
He then informed his aunt OF the same, and
she decided to get new milsmau.
Ths young man done the same to sample
OF the new milk man and sound ii to be much
worse than that OF the first. and this time
he demonstrated the fact to the family. 40
another change was made this tide the lacy
taxing milk from relative, but the milk that
he sold was similar to that sold by Nos and
2. This milk man was informed or the fact
and berated the family for doubling his hon
esty ms man. and informed them that he
sold az good milk as auy one In Johnston.
The young chemist was called home the
morning the last change was made. so the
family have many doubts NJ to the quality OF
milk they are using.
1t is reported that the inspector of milk of
Providence finds that more impdro milk comes
into the city from Johnston than any other
town In the State, and OF course all milk sold
in this vicinity Is by the home milkmen. and
il tho milk IL found wanting In Providence
il can hardly be expected that the citizens Of
Johnston get az good milk as milkmen take
into Providence, where they are likely to bs
overhaulcd by the inspector for there Is
nothing TO hinder them in Johnston from sell
ing any sort Of milk for there is no inspector
nor is there any money on hand 10 prosecute
any one who should be found to sell impure
milk.
ANNEXATION.
The annexation COMMITTEES are getting
everything rcady to move bag and baggage
into Providence and are ready and willing
to allow the city committee TO draw tho
boundary line, they will find that large mill
owners and others who do not care to be left
to the mercy Of farmers win take hand in
he fight for they know that II the most val
liable portion is annexed they, the mill
owners. with have no fire or police protection.
and this they must have and they are aware
OF ihs fact that when the thick,y settled por-
tion Is gone, the farmers will Fstep in and
shut off all improvements and will want to
have the property that Is left just over the
line cared for as they do the farms.
The proposition made by the city committee
is all right from their standpoint, but the
citizcns generally will not allow them to take
what might bo termed the tenderloin of
the steak. II Providence will take that part
Of Johnston that includes all Of the mills.
there will re but little opposition to annex
alton, but they cannot have olneyvlle square
and portion Of Plain1eld street and Dyer
avenue, for residents in other parts Of the
town Will object.
