There was a crash of automobiles beneath the arch of the railroad bridge at South Main street about noon Wed : nesday that resulted in considerable damage being done to the touring car of George W. PerryA city engineer, and to the machine owned in the fam fly of Prof Charles Perkins of the University of Tennessee, who has a summer home, the old Lysander War ren homestead, south of Danielson. No one of the six occupants of the two cars was sufficiently injured to war rant mentioning.
 The point where the accident oc- cured is dangerous one. This fact was well known to Mir. Perry, who was approaching the arch from the south, running at very slow speed and hugging close to the right hand and south abutment, as he entered the narrow way His machine had Just entered when the Perkins car came through the other entrance to the arch, with young woman at the wheel and three other young women in the car. MT. Perry had man from 8 local garage with him.
 The Perkins car was not running at high speed, either, but It's driver as she swung under the stone arch swerved the machine over a generous way and the crash came. Mir Perry's car striking the Perkins machine a glancing head-on blow, the Perkins machine also going into the bridge abutment on MT. Perry's side of the way. A hub on the wheel of the Per kins machine clipped a piece out of one of the abutment stones.
 The Perry car was the worse dam aged in the crash, the two forward wheels being smashed, the axle, head lights and other forward parts of the car being partially wrecked. A dam aged running board was the only in-
 jury of note to the Perkins car, in which it's occupants were soon able to proceed.
 MT. Perrys car was new one, he having received it only Tuesday even ing.

Gradually. the sky darkened and at S.45 Westerly was in night darkness, and there was artificial light in every store. dwelling house and place of business There was sharp thunder clash and light ming flash just as the sky was over- cast by black clouds. and then a short lived rain storm. This all happened within minutes and thereafter there was absence of thunder, lightning and rain. but darkness prevailed. This storm had passed. Ten minutes later there was rumbling of distant thunder and a copious rainfall which continued for nearly an hour. with considerable thunder accompaniment, but with very little lightning. Then there was re- turn of the storm, darkness, lightning, thunder and rain and with increased fury, which developed into the most severe storm that has visited Westerly in years.

 Thomas E. Moore, son of George w. Moore, of the George w. Moore eom- pAny, of Worcester, the new owners of the former plant of the Westerly Nar- row Fabric company, has located per- manently in Westerly. He will have charge 6f the preparatory work of the new industry for Westerly, which it is expected will be in operation within two months in the manufacture of elastic fabrics.
 MT. Moore is satisfied with the en- couragement given by the people of Westerly through the town council, in giving the company exemption from taxation on the property as it now stands for the balance of the exemp- tion period granted the Westerly Nar- row Fabric company and subsequently to the George w. Parks Jewelry corn- pany, and to grant exemption from taxation for period of ten years on all additions made to the real estate land on all personal property in con- nection with the business.
 MT. Moore said that upon inquiry he had ascertained that there was a scarcity of cottages and tenement houses in Westerly and he hoped that this important essential for the in- dustrial progress of the town would be supplied.

THIN FOLKS MADE PLUMP
Samose Ideal Flesh Builder, Says
Druggist Jas. 0'Donnell. -.

Thin people are simply suffering from
want of nQurishment!
If you are thin, 1t is because the fooo
YOU eat Is not assimilated and passes
through the system without building up
the flesh and tissue as II should.
You can readily get plump and rosy
which when taken with the meals, im-
mediately becomes a flesh building and
life giving element in the blood.
Samose builds up the system, puts
flesh on the bones, brings back the
glow of health to the pallid cheek and
removes the tired and languid feeling
which is the result of exhaustion and
low vitality.
James O'Donnell is introducing Sa-
NOSE to his customers and recommends
II highly, he gives the best proof of his
belief that Samose will do all that is
claimed for 1t by offering to refund the
money If 1t fails to increase the weight
and restore good health. d
