THE TOWN VOTED NO LICENSE.

North Brookfeld, Oct 1S.-The atten-
tion of the selectmen has been brought
to report that beer is being freely sold
on draught in at least two places in the
Canada" district. This, too, in the face
of the fact that North Brookfield voted
no-license last spring by heavy ma
Jority. AS yet the town fathers have
taken no action in the matter, nor has
1T, as far as is known, been reported to
the no-license league, which has been
active in putting down the illegal sales
of Intoxicating liquor. 1t is, however,
an open secret that beer is dealt out
over the bar with as much freedom as
if the dealers had regular license, and
the people who voted a no-license ticket
are considerably wrought up over the
matter. The opinion is advanced that
keeping beer on draught is going tri
fle too fer.
THE NEED OF RAIN.
The heavy rain of this morning inter
fered seriously with the work of clean
ing up now in progress at the Duane
supply pond. The water in the supply
ponds is very low, in fact, the Doane
pond is practically empty, but the rain
has started the inlets afresh, and now
North pond is receiving a big influx of
water
Chief Ranger Edward Donnelly of
Court Francis A. Walker, A. o. o. F.,
is well pleased at the increase of mem
bership that is coming as the result of
the reception given last night by the
society. About so persons have mani
Tested their intention of joining, and
large part of these are ladies'. Owen
Calvin of Worcester, a member of the
executive committee, who was present
last night, has promised to send two
lady members from Worcester to North
Brookfield next Sunday to interest the
ladies in forming separate court. AL
though Court Francis A. Walker would
gladly welcome lady members, it is adj
judged best for the ladies themselves to
of the ladies interested will be held in
Grange hall Sunday afternoon to make
plans for the formation of a new court.
