trict superintendent of education in

Morrisville Messenger, from Baco-
lod, Island of Negres, says he is To-

schools are generally held in church

Old Home Week.

Bradford has, indeed, spent one
of the happiest weeks in it's history.
Crowds of people from far and near
have revisited the old home to re-
new old acquaintances, to see again
the old haunts where so many
pranks were played upon the unsus-
pecting victim, or where the games
and romps took place. They have
lived again for few hours the days
of the past.
"reminiscences have been in order
when two have met and many a
hearty laugh has been exchanged
over incidents of younger days.
The present residents enjoyed hear
ing these stories of Bradford no less
than the visitors delighted in telling
them.
No doubt our guests have found
many changes and many things
different than they expected, yet
while there may be tinge of sad
ness in this, there is a great deal of
gladness because these changes have
all been along lines of improve
ments. Those who have returned
for this Old Home Week must feel
sense of pride that the old town has
neither refrigerated nor stood still
during the years which have 1apsed
since their residence here. Instead
they return to town that has kept
up with the progress of the times.
Surely it has been a pleasure to
have the old sons and daughters of
the town return to us, and we know
it has been a source of happiness to
them that they have been able to
pay us this short visit. May the
kindled in their breasts by
this visit be light to guide them
to our beautiful village in the years
to come.

The following concerning railway
accidents for the year ending June
80, 1900, will be of interest to our
readers: The total number of casual
ties to persons was So, 1856. The ag-
gregate number of persons killed
in consequence of railway accidents
during the year was Z, 865, and the
number injured was so, 800. OF rail
way employees ,, $50 were killed and
SO, 643 were injured. The number of
passengers killed during the year
was 249, and the number injured
4,128. The corresponding figures
for the previous year were 239 killed
and 8, 442 injured. The total num-
Der of persons, other than employ
ees and passengers, killed was 5000;
injured, 6,549. These figures in
c1ude casualties to person classed as
trespassers, of whom 1916 were
killed and 1850 were injured One
passenger was killed for every p

every 139, 740 carried. Ratios based
upon the number of miles travelled,
however, show that "a, 413, 684 pas
senger-miles were accomplished for
each passenger injured. A summa-
ry shows that in the course of thir-
