VERY POOR SERVICE.
Some people who have had occasion to
send telegraph or telephone messages
home on Sundays or late in the evening on
week days, are complaining because there
is no place where they can send mes
sages with a certainty of being able to
reach their friends. The public telephone
station In town is at l.. D. Thurston's
store. If message is sent while the store
Is open It is delivered promptly ana all is
satisfactory. On Tuesdays and Thurs
days the store is closed at I p. M and at
9, O'Clock on other week days On Sundays
the store is closed. There is no telegraph
station in town. Telegraph messages are
I'd ff-FsTn
the Worcester office. Recently one of the
Leicester officers was at Worcester one
evening, and as the post Office was closed,
ne telephoned TO the power station and
asked the conductor who answered his call
TO see that his parents got the message.
Ihey said II they saw any one going that
way the message would be sent along, but
as It was the officer got home before his
folks received any word What Is desired
is some central place which can be open
late IN the evening and also Sundays.
