!. 3. Newman Residence Leased FOR
Public Hospital.

The question of public hospital for
Bellows Falls has been definitely settled
during the past week by the agreement
of the directors of the Rockingham Hos
pital association to lease the |. b. New
man residence for five years for the
purpose at an annual rental of 1865. The
present plans indicate that the building
will be ready for occupancy May l, with
seven to nine beds available and oppor-
tunity for more. The location is ideal
for the purpose, situated on the brow
of Williams terrace overlooking Pine
street. and having one of the finest out
looks to be had over the village, and of
the Connecticut river valley looking
north. 1t is but a few rods from the
electric car line as it climbs the terrace,
and is only 800 feet from one entrance to
the new public park and playground.
This hospital in no manner interferes
with the private hospital established a
few months ago by DR.. A. c. Liston OF
North Walpole. That is known as the
Lockwood and is located but few rods
distant on the same terrace.

Mr.. futile has had charge of all the
arrangements and all the tickets pass

ALL RIGHT, BOYS!

All right, boys! Here I am
once more. It has been a long,
tedious and tiresome wait, and a
great many difficulties to over
come, but | have at last come
out more than conqueror. am
giving you herewith picture of
the new press which you helped
me to buy. It is now set up here
in my office and is running nicely.
This issue of The Fool Killer is
being printed on it. | tried to
hire an issue printed in February,
but couldn't get it done, SO I
just had to wait till the new press
was ready to run. That was the
only chance, and there was SO
many delays that got awful
tired Of waiting. And Of course
you all got impatient about it,
too, and I don't blame you. But.
now the machinery is all in
running order and | hope there
will not be any more delays.
Boys, let me thank you again
for the great interest you have
shown in the success of The Fool
Killer. You responded like good
fellows when I called on you for
help to, buy this new printing
outfit. Without your help | could
not have bought it. And now
that we have worked together

BOOZERS BEAT BOBTAIL.
NO /.

We claim to have prohibition
in North Carolina, but still, some
how, the thirsty ones manage
to get their booze. In this con-
nection let me say that I, am a
prohibitionist myself. I voted for
the measure and would do so
again. It's failure to prohibit all
drunk kenness is not so much the
fault Of the law it is more the
fault Of the red-nosed hypocrites
who refuse to enforce the law.
Lots Of the tWo-faced rascals who
openly favor a prohibition law
are seeretly opposed its
enforcement. I have ten times
more respect for the fellow who
openly advocates likker than I
do for the big-mouthed hypocrite
who claims to be a prohibitionist
who talks it and votes it and
then sneaks off and fills his
miserable old freckled hide with
cheap likker when he thinks no
one will find it out. The woods
are full of such cattle, and many
Of them occupy high places in
society, church and state. Such
men make me tired. When they
get away from home and reach a
wet town they bust their gee
string getting into the back door
of the first saloon they can find
and soak their hypocritical old
paunches with lanyard likker
