But hanks be to goodness we are selling n article (Coaline) which if used roperly will cut your coal bill in two, therefore instead of $10.50 coal will mly cost you $5.25 per ton or in other words Coaline will make one ton of 0al last as long as two tons. Of curse Coaline is not antediluvian, but n the contrary it is new on the mar .et, but it is certainly 8 wonder We Have circulars at our store all about eoaline and up to date we find it does everything which it is represented to 10; 1t costs only 10 cents for small and 70 cents for large package.

Quoted by men of high ideals, inspired

is being trampled upon. 1t is well. how

too much, that we give our case away
that the watchful enemy, by knowing

A literary society is a place for the
serious discussion of problems affecting
all humanity, and to incidentally hear
good music. 1t is no place to have fun
nor TO exploit personal brilliance nor
personal spleen. Each meeting should
have a definite object, and this object
should be supported sincerely and intel

useful purpose is served bv the wrang

CUMBERLAND.

The town OF Attleboro has set a gang
TO work repairing the damage which was
done the causeway built last autumn
across Cranberry pond. just east of the
state line. The causeway was badly dam
aged by the freshet Of March ! and Slnce
that time has been closed. The closing of
the highway has been a serious incon-
venience to persons driving from the
east side of the Blackston river. The
causeway was constructed with road
way 30 feet I'm width and so badly was IL
washed by the storm that in ole place
the roadway was practically obliterated.
The repairs will cost several thousand dol
lars.
A meeting OF the Catholic Parish league
was TO be held last evening in the Catho-
lie Institute at Valley Falls for the pur-
pose of receiving and adopting report
OF the schedule committee. Because OF
the absence of the delegates representing
the Columbus unions OF Providence and
the st. Mary's parish of Pawtucket. and
the desrability OF having the entire num-
Der of delegates act on the matter, adj
journment was taken to Friday evening
at the same place.
This morning at ST. Patrick's church at
Valley Falls took place the wedding of
John Burns of Prospect Hill, Lincoln. and
Miss Sarah Quinn, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Patrick Quinn, of John street. valley

man was Patrick Donovan and the brides
maid was Miss Catherine Quinn. sister
OF the bride. The bride was also attended
by five little flower girls-Mary Commic,
Clara Burke, Josie Moroney, Sarah An
derson and Martha Woods. Following the
church services there was a wedding
breakfas AT the home of the brides pa
rents, and then reception. Early in the
afternoon Mr.. and Mrs. Burns left on a
