APP0NAUG


Work on the new chimney. which Is be-
ing built at the Apponaug company.
was discontinued yesterday at noon on
account OF the smoke which came from
the old chimney.
The new chimney has reached the
same height as the old one. and as the
old chimney Is within ten feet OF the new
one. the SCOT and smoke which blew
from II prevented the masons from work
ing. This is the first time since the be-
ginning OF the new chimney that the old
chimney interfered with them. The wind
has always been at such a point that
das, the smoke was blown away, but yester-
Tell on the new chimney II is thought
that work Will be resumed today.
TRYING TO LOCATE SISTER.
the new chimney which is being built at
the Apponaug print works, but whose
home Is at 22l New street, Newark NJ j..
states that his sister Katie left Clones
years ago. and came TO Newark, N J..
and later was married to a man by the
name OF McCloskey She and her hus-
band came to East Providence. and are
supposed TO be living there at the pres
ent time. Mr.. Mcmahon is quite anxious
to locate her, as he has not seen her In
% years.
WRONG STATEMENT.
A statement was made TN one of the
daily papers that the Apponaug baseball
team did not receive the full guarantee
that was promised them at Carolina last
Saturday. This Is entirely wrong, as the
Carolina team acted just as they agreed
and gave the Apponaug team the amount
promised, $12.
sIGNs ARE NOT NOTICED.
About three months ago, by order of
the town council, signs cautioning a<%<o-
mobile drivers regarding fast driving
through the village were posted In sew
era! places throughout the town For the
first few weeks II was thought that these
signs had met with good results, and
that at last the council had done some
thing for those who had helped to elect
them to the council. For the last few
weeks things have changed, and the
signs are passed by unnoticed by the au-
tomobilists. An officer was placed at the
-Four Corners In Apponaug, one OF the
look out Sor any offender OF the law, ana
II any was discovered he was to make
them pay the penalty. He has yet failed
10 IND or see any violation OF the law,
point at a most terrific high speed and
II was only few nights ago that George
B. Blackmar, grocer In the village, was
almost struck by an automobile. while he
was crossing the street on his way home
TO supper. Something ought to be done
and done at once to guard against the
danger. especially at this point, and more
particularly on account OF 50 many small
children passing on their way TO and
from school,
