Many North Brookfield people vert

water commissioners are on the alert

Yesterday from a monstrous black
snake which he encountered on MS
farm. and which he started to pick up
surprising the portion that he saw was
a rubber boot The reptile was for the
most part covered in the grass ana dld
NOT stir until Mr.. Daisy was about TO
nick it up. Seeing his mistake, the
farmer recoiled, and the snake I'M
coiled. He turned on the man, VINO
took to his heels. Mr.. Daisy is man
of veracity, and in his OPINION the
snake was seven feet in length, and
what it's dimensions were can be mag
ined from the fact that it was sup
posed to be a rubber boot.

These blots are actually blood b1ots. To
cure them lotions and outward appli-
cations are useless. The blood must be
cured, before the skin becomes clean.
That great medicine for the stomach

Discovery, is most effective in cleansing
the complexion and healing diseases
which defle and deface the skin. 1t

organs of digestion and nutrition. 1t

lurking poisons which de6le the blood
and through it deface the skin.

substitute which is less popular but more
profitable than the Discovery" 1t

FIRST RHODE ISLAM DERs.
If They Wish to Get Benefit Of Previous
Service Should Enlist at Once.

Capt. J. c. Gresham has notified the
local recruiting office that if there are
any First Rhode Island volunteers in
this city who wish to re-enter the ser
vice, they should enlist before the last
Of the month, in order to get the bene-
fit of the time of previous service.
The First Rhode Islanders were mus
tered out March 80, and accordingly
have 80 days before they re-enlist if
they wish to make their time in the
service continuous. Business was quite
good at the office yesterday, and Pri-
vate James e. Chamberlain had his
hands full in making out the papers
of the recruits.
Sergt. James f. Flynn, who has the
distinction of being the first man to
open a regular army recruiting Office
in this city, was passed by the doctor.
The sergeant is no 'rookey," by any
means, he having seen service with the
Twenty-third infantry, in Co. F, in the
Second artillery, in Battery G, and in
the Two hundred and second New York
volunteers, with that regiment in
Cuba.
Sergt. Flynn is a typical American
army man, and takes the world as he
finds it. He has been in and out of
the service for the past 10 years. On
Feb Is, 1891, he was put in charge of
the local recruiting office, then in the
Commonwealth block on Front street.
AS his home is South Lancaster, he
was known pretty well in this city, and
he succeeded in sending many good re-
cruits to the army. While with the
Twenty third, he was stationed at Fort
Craig, New Mexico and Fort Wayne,
Mich. He was at st. Francis barracks,
Fla, and Fort Adams, R. l., while with
the Second "heavies." He enlisted in
the Two hundred-second regiment of
national guards of New York just pre-
vious to the war, and served with that
regiment in Cuba.
Thomas ]. Tangney, formerly of Co.
of the Twelfth regiment, passed the
examination yesterday. Corporal Will
liam j. Robinson of Fitehburg, form
erly of Co. B of the Sixteenth Massa-
chusetts volunteers, who saw service
in the Porto Rican campaign, has res.
enlisted. He saw eight years service
in the state militia, and is a thorough
soldier.
Harry NJ Sweeney is the other sue
cessful applicant at the office yesterday.
He comes from Claremont, N. H, and
has no previous service.
Two were rejected, being understood.

Experience has taught US in the
South River dis riot that it takes one
third of our fund for small bridges and
culvertS. A large fund for new roads
and reluca ion new iron bridges. horse
power for machines, wagons for haul
ing lumber, rock, etc. Lastly to mac
adamize, say, three miles of road in
each district, eighteen in ali. 1t is
disputed question as to how much hard
cash it takes to properly macadamiZe
one mile of road. We have an object
lesson near at hand. My information
is that the United States government
appropriated $12 900 for the road from
the National Cemetery to StauntOn-
three-fOurths of a mile-and the COM
pany that had the contract was finan
cialiy broken up by it. We will put
1t at the low estimate of $4,000 per
mile. We have about 275 miles of pub
lie roads in South River district. You
can make the calculation as to when
the road most important to you will be
made, and l expect when you get
through figuring ON the data 1 have
given, you will be as we'll satisfied as l
am that Mr.. Eichelberger plan is i'm
practicable. l have very serious
doubts whether it would be blessing
or curse if Mr.. Eichelberger could
maca damize our roads gratis, with the
proyiso that We should keep them in
perfect repair. The road tax we now
pay is but drop in the bucket" in
comparison to what we would have to
pay then. Atthe end of each year we
would have good roads with which to
pay all our other obligatiOns-and
nothing else.
do not want our roads macadam-
lied, and l believe / echo the sentI-
ment of the taxpayers of South River
township, because with the average
of our roads for the last five
years, prefer them on an average of
nine months in the year to the mac
adam. q. BENTON COINER.
