Millbury, Oct. 30.-The patrons OF the
Millbury Post Office who nave peeli
displeased because the GA a. m. mail
going north on the New York, New
Haven & Hartford Railroad was dis
continued, will be happy to learn that
il will be put on again as will the mali

south on the same road. Postmaster

effect from the post office authorities.
Orders were also received stating that

The Board of Selectmen paid an Off
ciaI visit to the publication works at
Quinsigamond Wednesday. Mayor
Philip ]. O'Connell of Worcester was
with the selectmen. The object of the
visit was to see if the city of Wor-
cester was complying with the decree
handed down by the Supreme Court a
number of years ago. A complete in
spection took place. The filter beds
were looked over and thoroughly ex-
amined, as was the publication works.
What the outcome of the visit will be
and what the board will report is as
vet unknown While claims are made
at the Worcester end that the city is
doing all in its power to remedy the
trouble Millbury people as a rule
claim the sewer, or what is generally
termed the Blackstone River is in as
dirty and filthy condition as former
ly. If a few of the residents of Wor-
cester would come down the line a
warm summer day they would see the
real condition of affairs.

and a date palm. At the homes OF
many of the children are specimens OF

cherry tree, peanut plant and many
others. All are brought to the school
from time to time and the growth OF

from seeds and much credit is due
Principal Charles f. Quirk and his as

study by the pupils.
