Many towns and cities are facing q
water famine. Locally, the danger
Of . shortage seems remote. 1t is
estimated that there is enough in the
reservoirs of the Stafford Springs
Aquedncs company to last two months
under ordinary conditions. Should
the reservoirs freeze up before we have
rain there might be q shortage, but
there will in all probability be rain
before this occurs.
AZ the Congregational chapel last
Friday afternoon q girls club was
organised. called the Loyal Helpers,

Beckwith. The first meeting was held
last evening ut the home OF the presi-
dent on Highland Terrace, and work
planned for the coming year.
No town liquor agent has been
appointed ~ yes, but there will be an
appointment later IL is understood
that the board Is not unanimously in
favor Of making an appointment, but
- she Law seems explicit on the mat
ser &c will probably be done. The
experience Of the town during the last |
no. license year showed that the agency |
wns run nc loss. In appointing an
agent, IL is expected that the wishes
Of she radical temperance element will
Be considered. Peter Gordon has
been mentioned in connection with the
position. and would undoubtedly make
. good man for the position il his cou-
sent could be secured.
Forest fires have done q vast amount
Of damage she past week. The long
conAinued drought has made conditions
ripe for sflis form of loss. The leaves
and deadwood in the forests are dry |
40 tinder. and q spark is sufficient.
The largest area burned over is in the
Tray Hollow district. where several
hundred acres are affected. Another
big plot has been burned over in the
Grow Hill district. where it is esti-
mated shak from 30 to 40 acres are in
elndsd. A smaller FIRE just above
burned over q few acres.
The various IRE wardens, with gangs
Of men, have had q strenuous time
the past few days lighting the flames.
Il 10 shought that the loss in this
sUwn alone in the past week will
mOunt lose to So, 900. Just over
The lire In wellington and Eastford
lnOthsr Ore has covered many acres.
