 Falls Village can't produce a story about centenarian who has just taken his first ride on railroad train but in the person of Michael Scott it views a parsonage who lives but two miles from town and who has been in the village only twice since early in the winter Local storekeepers evidently have not found 1t necessary to re-seat any chairs on his account. But then, when 8 man reads a good newspaper like THE NEWS he don't find it necessary to wander from his own fireside to discover what going on.

The animal I frothed at the mouth and showed other evidences of rabies. It was confined in the room until neighbor with a shot 1 gun could be summoned when it wns dispatched to the canine hereafter. i WE'D LIKE LIGHT.
