Greenwich bay is almost free from scallops. where usually they are found in large quantities..
 The open season for oysters is also now at hand, although the few beds will not be open to the public until the 10th inst. Under the laws of the state it is a violation for any person to take but may take not more than one bushel for private use.
 Before oysters are marketable they must be four years old, and the supply this season will not be large, the full grown oysters being almost depleted. l is said to be the largest for twelve years, which means that four years hence oysters will be plentiful in Rhode Island.

proceedings for site for a new post office m Newport gave in their report an idea of the folly of. assessors in placing value on property in Newport, which. is applicable to every other place in the state, and that includes Westerly. The commissioners state that in arriving at a fair. market value of- the properties condemned, they ments which were made before inn provements came and have not been revised to keep pace with growth and the increased value. of real estate, and therefore bear very little relation to real value. One of the six tracts cc.l- EeId at $50,00G by the claimants and at $39: :0S5.15 by the government represen- tatives.
 The commission was composed of Gx-Governor James H. Higgins, Her bert l.. Dyer and John K. Wetherell and they asked s3000 for their service, 5000 each. This sum was protested | at 8 hearing before Judge Arthur L. Brown in the United States court, by District Attorney Walter R.

The management of the Washington county fair has engaged the East Greenwich band of Kent county to fur nish the music for the four days of the annual fair at Kingston this month. In consequence there is just a little bit of feeling among members of bands in Washington county, who feel aggrieved that the county musicians should be ignored by county organization whose purpose is the booming of Washing ton county. There are four bands in the county, the Westerly, Carolina, Hope Valley and Wakefield, all the equal and some the superior of the Kent county band. It was suggested that one of these four bands be en-
 gagged for each day of the fair, in fair
 ness to the people of the county, but
 1t was stated that such action would
 increase the appropriation made for
 music more than the management
 cared to pay. In response it was urged that by having a different band all of Washington county, for each day of the fair, the increased cost would be more than balanced by increased attend ance. as naturally friends of the bands would be attracted to the fair to hear their faVorite band, and enough to | make good the increased appropriation for music.
 The East Greenwich band is the same that was engaged by the Cy- clone company of Westerly for the pa rade in Stonington in connection with | the centennial celebration of the battle | of Stonington.

Mrs. Frank S. White, Sr., of Brming-

vice president, and routine business was
disposed Of The resignation of Miss
Kelly is a matter of general regret
Miss Kelly organized the Alabama So
ciety of the United States Daughters OF
1872 few years ago, and became its first
state president. Under her leadership the
society has become a strong factor in pa
triotic and historical circles The local
chapter was named for Sims Kelly, who
was her great-grandfather thus at the
some time showing to Miss Kelly as
organizer a graceful compliment and pay

was so identified with Jackson and with
the early history of this state. Himself a.
friend of General Jackson, he and other'
wealthy planters of middle Tennessee Org
ganized and equipped a whole battalion of
mounted gunner, including a band, and.
rendered its services to the government

county. He was greatly beloved by the
Indians, and his influence with them for
peace was of much assistance to the gov
eminent in the trying times of their
removal. He was a contemporary of Gem
eral Coffee, William r. King, Dixon
Lewis, r. e. B. Baylor and John Anthony
Winston. Though a man of quiet, INTEL
lectual tastes, the influence he exerted
for the development of Alabama was far
reaching and his memory is one of which
Alabama is proved. 1t is indeed fitting
that his name should be borne by an Ala
bama chapter of this patriotic society.
Mrs. Inge is prominently identified with
the social and club life of Mobile. She
