have taken rooms 26 and q in the
American building. These rooms are
large and especially fitted up for a

The next and doubtless the last
annual meeting of the Wantastiquet
golf club will be held in the Brooks
House reception room Wednesday
evening at 7.3O. 1t is probable that
steps will be taken at that time to
wind up the affairs Of the organiza-
tion There was comparatively little
interest last season, the membership
being only 4s, and the club closed the
wear with deficit of about $50. This
is more than offset by the property
and fixtures the club owns. The club
was organized eight years ago.
A general agreement has been
reached among the milkmen IN Brattle.
boro to reduce the price OF milk April
from seven to six cents quart, and
to three cents pint All have assented
to this except H. M. Barrett, who de-
liyers milk from the Bradley farm. He
will stick to the former price. IL IS
not likely that any change will be
made in the price of cream. This re-
duction is due to the fact that there
has been an over abundance OF milk on
the local market lately, and the dealers
would rather sell their product TOR SIX
cents than be obliged to feed it to
stock.
