place were not congenlal 10 his tastes he
took his departure.
Mixes presence was missed when IL
came time for the children OF the state
10 go 10 bed, and the superintendent OF
this prosperous farm, thinking that per-
haps Mike might so astray or get lost in
the city, telephoned the police that Mike
! had wandered away from his abode, and
requested that should he be found in the
! city they see TO II that he was properly

Mike did not know when he had soft
snap and would meander into other pas
lures, and this IS just what he intended
10 do, for when one of the officers went
into the house Mike rushed upstairs and
jumped from a window and was about
Patrolman Bugbee. and that settled the
matter
The police learned that Mike had taken
on board before he went home quite
load OF Beer Hilr' fire water, and drove
his poor old father from the house and
was about TO clean out the house when
his friends, the police, arrived.
TOWN CAUCUS.
The Republicans OF Johnston held their
caucus In Calefs hall last evening and IL
was very tame affair from what was
expected.
The much looked for fight was 10 be
for the position of town sergeant, but
when the time came TO nominate for that
position no name was heard, but Mr..
Kmball who appears to be more popular
each year.
Benjamin Dalton, who has always been
> conspicuous figure in the affairs of the
town, was beaten out for the position of
NTH councilman by Henry b. Scott,
comparative new man In the town. and
this was the extent OF the excitement. and
when the caucus was over Thornton had
got all that II asked. but Manton would
have liked TO pluck a plum or two more.

OLD wEAvERs RETURNING.
Slowly, but surely are the old weavers
finding their way back 10 their old looms
and few weeks after the next season IL
opened, II will be hard TO find a weaver
out OF employment.
The overseers Of the mill want as
many of the old help as possible back.
but the managers Of the mills desire TO
keep all OF the foreign help who have
learned TO weave. but these are few and
far between.
Many OF the class OF help has already
been dismissed and more will follow as
| fast as an excuse can be found and now
| that the heavy weight season Is near
| at hand, this will be an excuse to get rid
| of a lot more for. the new help has be-
1 come accustomed TO the uEnt WelRnt
| work they will have TO be taught TO
| work on the heavy weight. and this will
cost the mill management more than
| they will care 20 pay. and then there will
| be a call for the old help.
In some mills all OF the old help is up
on samples. while others put on only
| their best men.
The Indications are that when the
| heavy weight season opens. all OF the
mills will run night and day, and then,
only good men will he wanted. for at
present time the new weavers take
| plenty OF time 10 run off a cut for they
| are fully aware OF the fact that II poor
cut of cloth IL run off, that IL IL equva-
lent 70 n dismissal, but next season
looms will have TO be ran 10 their fullest
capacity, 70 make the dividends OF the
company what they should be.
