A band of gypsies arrived in town
Yesterday morning and for couple OF
hours they kept Main and Elliot street
merchants busy watching them, Inc
women Travelled in pairs and while one
would try to induce the proprietor 70
have his fortune told for % cents tue
other would handle articles displayed
ON counters. II was evident that
part of their game was to purloin every,
thing they could, and many merchants
refused 10 allow them 10 enter theF
stores. The band, numbering perhaps
dozen people, drove away TO the
north after dinner.
1t is evident that the malady which
afflicted Brattlcboro years ago anu
which required about 5000 liquor pre-
scriptions before IL was gotten uhltr
control has made its appearance AGAIN
The fact that there is an unprecedeht,
ed epidemic of thirst was dlscoVereh
Wednesday afternoon when female
solicitor for "A Springfield, Mass, drug.
gist said that she sold l,5OO quarts OF
beef, iron and wine in BrnttlebOro IN

of people who bought case lots contain

I home in WestmOreland, y. H.. Sunday
morning after an illness of several
/ weeks. She was born in Brattlehoro,
/ the daughter of Willis Bemis When
4 very Young her mother died and she
went to live with her aunt, Mrs George

where she remained until her marriage
7 June G. 1888. Besides her husband she

| The work of cleaning out Chestnut
/ Hill reservoir will begin the night OF
/ Friday, Nav II, and service in the low
pressure district will be interrupted
/ for three or four DAYS thereafter. TINS
/ district includes Elliot, Elm, Frost,
/ Flat and Vernon streets, Main street
/ from Elliot TO Canal, Canal from Main
! 10 the Universalist church, Estabrook
/ street and South Main from Estabrook
1 to Canal. The water in the reservoir
will be drawn off through the man

/ 1t was discovered after the village
check list had been printed that many
/ of the citizens whose names appeared
thereon were not living within. the
village limits and they were stricken
/ off with a red pencil. 10 now trans
pires that the list used as copy for the
! printers was at least three years old
and that many names entitled to
place on the list were omitted. In the
! case of one family name of which
there are six voters in town and all in
no way related to each other the new
check list fails to include single one
of the names. 1t is evident from q
hasty examination of the list that it
/ is about as much value in holding a
| village meeting as a last years bird.
nest would be in the general scheme
/ of spring.
