 Within the past two years more railroad improvement has been made here than anywhere 1U the staces re sultinz in a new passenger statloTs freight depot and a general improve mmmnt Of the surroundings. While NaA~es all around condemned, the pee Be Of Westerly commended the ex- c,es1ent service Of the New York, New Haven and Hartford company. Several ehrozCh express trains stop only at Westerly between Providence, New London and New Haven, and special trains are run between Bradford ana Westerly for the mutual benefiIMof the shoppers from Bradford and tW meI- chants of Westerly
 The railroad company has now ar ranged to give Westerly an improved express and postal service. Hereafter rhe postal and express train from New York for Boston, which passed through Westerly at three o'clock in r-ae morning, will stop here for deliv- err of express matter and mails which gives 10 Westerly an early service that xTz ne appreciated. Heretofore all e1z- nress matter on this train was dis charged at New London, and trans ne7red rO an accommodation train about four hours later
 For medicine in the night ring ghe hefl-r' were seen at the door of every drug store in Westerly, just as in o1her places, several years ago, but now these have gil disappeared and the compounded pellets carried by the doctors have been substituted for the Houid medicines that used to be re- quired in emergency eases. Existing conditions in that line account for the specializing of soda fountains, hot erirks. ffrht lunches. cigars, tobacco and newspapers in drug stores. The doctors now buy their supplies at wholesale and are not ttse mainstay parrouS of 6ruE stores. The night bells onsce and the drug clerk has an op- por1znisy 1e spend the night at home
