liams, S. T. Andrews and j. X. Keefe
We're visited last Thursday night by men
who took what money there happened to
be in the cash drawers. 1t being past the
hours of business the men entered
through windows in the rear of the blocks
and succeeded in getting the money and
getting away without being detected.
About $50 was taken in all. Mr. Williams
being the heaviest loser. AS yet no eff
forts have been made to catch the
thieves. An effort in that direction
should be made at least, to discourage
such acts, as most of the merchants do
not approve of having visitors in their
stores when no one is there to wait on
them.

of pluck, who has done much for her own
advancement in musical lines She was
former pupil of Miss Annie Way of
Charlestown and, during the past win

pleasing one, and Miss Fassett's rendering
of the numbers was charming. She was
ably supported by Willard Bacon bari
