said no one would object to boys having
good time but when it comes to the
wonton destruction of property, then
they should be punished for it. And

JAS. johnson has finished the work of
taking the census of the town of Bristol
and finds just 488 people entitled to be
enumerated here. Mr.. Johnson has

thing is considered, the showing is not
bad one by any means. In 1900 the
population of Bristol was 2S2. In five
years this has increased to 48S, an
increase of 73 per cent Bristol Tri-
