Children at play on High street yester-

by Porter Spencer. The last collision
overturned the laundry wagon, throwing
the horse, which was easily caught. The
top of the laundry wagon fell off on the

The Greenfield Gazette says some of
Green6eld's business men are talking of
the possibility of establishing line of
motor carriages TO run between Greenfield
and Mortified. 1t is argued that it would
be wise course for the business men to
establish such a line TO draw trade from
Mortified. The relations of that town
with Brattleboro are much closer than
with Greenfield "The project for an
electric road to Mortified is considered
rather chimerical, but a line of motor
carriages wonld seem practicable" says the
Gazette. ''Such carriages are coming into
use fast for transportation. The scheme
suggested provides for the purchase of two
carriages, to run once an hour, making the
trip in about an hour. 1t is estimated
that the capital required would be about
$500, and the principal expense would be
the wages OF two men,"
