A WICKED JOKE.

"A WlChEO JOhE>
A Grafton joker has exercised that
faculty at the expense of the Grafton
and Upton railroad by circulating a
story TO the effect that the secretary Of
war has issued orders for the officials of
that road to hold their freight cars in
readiness to transport munitions of war
in case orders are given. The point of
the joke is revealed when it is remem-
bered that the freight carrying capabil-
tiles Of the Grafton and Upton is limited
to one solitary fiat car.

held their regular annual meeting Mon
day, and in most cases there was a
large vote cast. The town of AthoI had
an adjourned meeting from the first
Monday in March, and still further ad-
journed to Monday, April A. There
were surprises and turnatouts which in
some cases, especially on the license
question, were unlocked for. Sterling,
for instance, for the first time in many
years, turned from the ranks of no
license and joins issues with other wet
Worcester county towns. Sutton
changes from no-license to license, and
Millbury and Douglas join the no-license
columns. At Holden there was a large
vote cast, and the question of water
works was defeated, leaving but one
more year in which the town can le-
gally vote to take water.
Next week West Boylston holds her
annual meeting, and Monday, April A,
IL more county towns will meet. This
will complete the spring elections for
Worcester county.
