The town of Wilmington, through
it's selectmen and justices of the peace,
acted quickly in the matter of safe
guarding it's people against the dan
gers of spread of the rabies, when
informed Tuesday morning that a
dog belonging to Station Agent George
P. Bugbee at West Wilmington was
afflicted with hydrophobia and was
running at large. Justices VIM. f.
Essex and J. O. Jennings signed an
order that all dogs in town should
be kept confined or muzzled until
Nov. LIST. The dog is described as
shepherd, large, brown and white.
Willimantic of hydrophobia has had
tendency toward making the people
feel the need of such action as may
be necessary to prevent any such
thing in this town.
To a man who is a resident, and
year after year watches the gradual
growth and development of any GER
tain locality, there is no one time
that he is particularly impressed with
the change as a whole, but as in the
case of Joseph Gergler, who is now
holding a responsible position in
Providence, r. L. and who has come
into the place on a visit to his BROTH
er, Louis Gergler, after an absence of
5 years, the change is amazing. In
that time W. Fl. Hills residence has
been built, as also Gilbert Spicer's,
the L. E. Wadsworth, Joseph Kings
bury and VIM. Carroll's houses, the
fine house east Of VIM. Fl. Hall, the
school house has been enlarged, new
state road built, great improvements
made at the Gurley place, and it is no
wonder that Mr.. Gergler felt he had
come into a new South Wilmington.
