Grafton, Dec. 6.-The selectmen had
regular monthly meeting last evening
and ordered bills to the amount Of $500

town than was the severe storm OF
last February.
The other matters to come before the
meeting We're of minor Importance,
with the exception of the matter of the
Grafton, Upton and Milford electric
railroad, which was laid over and it is
not likely that anything further will be
done on that road before spring.

opinion that the road will be in opera

The largest meeting in many years
Of Division 49, A. O. H., was held last
evening. The cause of so large at
tendance was to listen to the able and
stirring address of Rev. FIR. Daley. He
delivered an animated and patriotic
discourse, which aroused general en-
thusiasm. In closing, he made a warm
appeal, stating it would be the greatest
encouragement to FIR. O'Reilly, the pas
tor of St, Patrick's Church, to see the
A. o. H. lend a hand and contribute
some fitting memorial to the church.
FIR. Daley recommended the donation
of the main altar. He thought that
such a gift would entail an expense
of one thousand dollars, but if they
could do better by holding a rOusing
bazaar, he promised to lend them eV-
cry assistance he could bestow.
The latter suggestion met with unan-
imous approval, and by vote of the So
ciety, it was determined to hold a two
weeks bazaar the latter part of Jan
uary. A committee was formed at
once, and the work outlined. The la
dies auxiliary Of the A. O. H. have
been invited to cooperate, and the
event promises to be a success.
