the least. On every hand may be heard
discussions regarding the, merits and
demerits OF men prominent in the ranks
OF the parties. yet the interest does not
seem to be sufficiently warm to get the
voters to register as promptly as they
usually do
There is an animated discussion al
ways in progress regarding the methods
adopted by the different parties TO gain
favor in the eyes OF the masses.
AS was told exclusively In the News
a Republican club is about 10 be formed
with the appropriation OF the town COM
mittee which is designed more especially
TO get the younger element in line and
systematic the work Of the party.
AN OLD VOLUME.
Frank Koerner, a local business man,
has in his possession a bible printed
just a hundred years ago. 1t contains
the family record Of Thomas and Mar
tina Simpson. who were married in 1899
The record shows Mrs. Simpson to have
died in 1929 and Mr. Simpson in 1880
The volume contains also a chronolo-
gical index from the time OF Adam TO
the advent Of Christ and a complete in
dex of the Holy Bible IL is in a good
state of preservation and shows but little
the affects OF the ravages OF time.
Mr.. koerner says he purchased the
book for ten cents at a rummage sale m
Providence, but would not part with It
for a hundred times that sum.
THAT VACANCY.
The avowed intention OF Judge Bliss
10 retire from the office OF superintendent
of schools at the expiration OF his pres
ent term OF office has created no nttle
discussion and much speculation as to
who will succeed TO the Office. Several
names have been suggested, but no one
has been mentioned who has any certain
ty of serious official consideration for the
position.
Rev. III. A. Remick, OF Riverside, rs
regarded by his friends as we'll fitted
for the position, having done good work
In a similar capacity in other portions
of New England before becoming a resi-
dent Of Rhode Island. but his name has
not as yet been taken under consldera-
ton.
Mr.. Remick has long been interested
in educational work and is a man OF
wide experience in this field.

interlocutor Abraham Kingsley. however.
was Of n different mind and stepping be-
fore the audience. informed them that the
entertainment would be postponed. The

action as the rain had already ceased

Last evening at the new NJ z. church
