Independent" Mills, So Called,
Are Running to Their Fullest
Capacity-Johnston Roads to
Be Repaired.

This is the last Saturday that the
weavers at the Earnscliffe mills are sup
posed to go in at 615 I'm the evening and
work until 1880. Some OF the weavers
say that they will not go In next Satur-
day evening, but as there are so many
good weavers out OF employment just at
this time the mill management believe
that they will have no trouble In get
ting all of the weavers they need.
This mill. the Crown and Paramount
mills. all OF which are known as inde-
pendent mills are running TO their full
est capacity and the indications are that
they will continue this way during the
entire season.
ALL TELL THE SAME STORY.
Those who have been doing business
I'm the square for many years state that
last evening was the dullest Friday eve-
ming in tn ehlstory OF the square. AT $50
o'clock no more than a dozen persons
could be seen. At 10 o'clock the square
was as lonesome looking as a country
road. This. the storekeepers say is due
to the fact that people will not spend
any more money than is necessary at
this time as they know that the holidays
are near at hand, and but few OF the
mills are running anywhere near fun
time.
POLICE BUSINESS AT sTANDSTILL
Business is so quiet at the Chaffee
street police station during the past
week. that some Of the attaches think
that perhaps the city fathers may pos
siby put the members OF the force on
four days time, which just at the pres
ent time appears TO be the rule with all
big concerns here. There was written
on the blotter at the station this morn
ing the names Of two kids" who were
afalr int 90 fo,. ct In
but they were so young that no one
cared 10 prosecute them.
JOHNSTON TOWN COUNCIL.
At the meeting OF the Johnston town
council yesterday. Highway Commissioner
Atwood was ordered to expend $500 in
making repairs on some OF the roads In

liquor license, Chief of Police Ducharme
making the statement that he, Mr..
Coupe. had made the required changes In
this building at "Trip town." but the
chief who Is also a member OF the coun-
ell did not vote on the same. Mr.. George
Norton, who last year was the only man
who was granted hotel license, asked
that he be granted one this year, but he
was given leave to withdraw, his applica-
ton. Councilman Colon made the state
ment that the town would be obliged to
get suitable rooms for the chief OF police
for former Chief of Police kimball was
deputy sheriff which made him court Of
flcer and practically tanitor of the court
room, and the same being paid for by the
state, did not give the present chief OF
police any right to assume charge OF the
same.
