our Town LOT nelp given one that OF

our town.
Mrs. George Mari tells us that
her recent and first visit to Boston
(where she has sister,, was a very
pleasant one. Why should it not
have been with her facilities for
seeing it?
Frank Godfrey moved last week
from the tenement house OF Henry
Poole's, that he had occupied for 10
years., to the house of Joseph Greg
DRY, the father of his first wife, near

the Grearson- Beckett Branite Co.,

water that he had hard work to
break it with the heel Of boot. Snow

experiences. A friend some hun

us last Saturday that up to that
time he had been but three or four
days without an overcoat.
