 B. A. Peirce's equine boudoir is near ing completion. It's style of architecture is decidedly different from anything in the building line now to be seen in Ashley Falls. It gives promise of being an attractive structure.

 DID HE OR DIDN'T HE? .
 Rumor has it here that one reason for Frank Curtiss' defeat for representative was because he is said to have claimed that $1.25 per day is enough for the working man. If he didn't say 1t, the circulation of such @ rumor does him great inj justice, but if he did most people don't agree with him and will say that in losing the election he-but, pshaw what's the use, election is over with.
 HOLES IN THE DARKNESS
 Several holes have been punched in the Ashley Falls Egyptian darkness during the past week, street lights hay ing been established by Misses Taller day, Deloge, Frank H. Smith and F. P. Smith. Good. Let the work go on. The village can stand dozen or two more lights like those already ill opera tion.
 RAPID TRANSIT
 Ashley Falls is having it's troubles with railroad shipments the same as other places. Either they become lost entirely, reach here broken, come in driblets or are greatly delayed. Not long since George Hall sent marble marker to West Stockbridge, four stations north. It finally turned up in Albany, and when started back 1t went no one knows where. It required just one month to get it to West Stookbridge.
 INVITING COMPETITION
 The sale of the old grocery store prop erty, owned by F. H. Smith 6 Co.,, has not yet been consummated although negotiations are still in progress. It is expected that conclusion will be reached within ten days. It seems somewhat strange to the fellow on the outside that a firm should be- willing to sell a building to another firm who will become competitors in the grocery business but Smith &5 Go. have good reasons or the offer would pot have been considered.
