his brother, Orville NJ. Bell, for long
time a resident of this town. Mr..

One of w. J. Crawford's teams left
the post-office last Saturday night in
hurry and started for the stable,
forgetting that Mr.. Crawford was in
the post-office after the midnight
mail. The team thought of it after
getting as far as the Equinox House
and there laid down and waited for
Will to come along, which he did in a
hurry. No damage done except the
breach of confidence.
Officer John Kelley has been on the
watch for violators Of the sidewalk
law in this village. AT an expendi-
ture of nearly three thousand dollars
the Improvement Societies of our
three villages have succeeded in put
ting down a much needed walk for the
use of pedestrians and it is so dedicat-
ed. We have always contended that
in these days of automobiles and all
that goes with them, there should be
at least ONE place on our highways
where the one who was obliged to use
his or her feet for locomotion would
be safe from attacks of motor or
other vehicles. Go to it Kelley and
more strength to your good right arm.
