North Bridgewater, Fred Whitney a
doe at Taftsville or nearby, and
E. q. Freeman of this village is re-
ported having killed deer.
Claude LaPlant got deer on Long
hill Monday.

Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Bianchi, who
were hunting in Plymouth, each
killed buck early in the week. A
telephone from their camp said the
Mrs. Bianchi's prize weighed over
300 pounds.
Mrs. F. A. Tarble, who was hunt
ing with her husband in West
Bridgewater, was the FIRST one to bring

 waterworks.
 The dust nuisance is almost getting the best of this town just now. In fa-*
 so great is the demand for a sprinkler for the streets that active preparations
 are being made to purchase large
 sprinkllng machine that has been used by a contractor at Falkyillesin the con-
 struction of the bikes leading out from

Huntsville, March s1.-(special. .)-Judse Tancred Betts in the law and equity court has rendered an opinion in the suit of Alice Hereford against the Metropolitan Life Insurance company of New York. holding that note given in payment for an insurance policy makes the policy bind- ing. even though the polcyhoder dies be- fore the note is paid. Alice Hereford, widow of the late Daniel Hereford, sued the insurance company for 5000, the amount of a policy carried by her husband with the defendant company, with inter- est for three years. The company has been fighting the suit on the grounds that a note was given and never paid, the in- sured having died before it fell due, and therefore no consideration had been re- ceived. Judge Betts gave the plaintiff a judgment for the full amount sued for.
