 1 Dr. George Barnes of Dayville receut- l ly visited with relatives in New Bedford. The show at San Francisco. having built a perfectly dry platform and then selected a half-wet and half-dry candi-. ! date to run upon it, is characterized here as having produced a one-quarter of one /, per cent. ticket for the voters to con i slider. ] Thomas Higgins of Goodyear appeared l in the town court Tuesday morning to answer to charges of having been ,intox-
 icated and breach of the peace. Judge l Woodward sentenced the prisoner to
 serve 30 days on each, count, total of 1 50. Higgins celebrated the Fourth and | the Fifth. Incidentally, he was in court i last month for having been intoxicated, 1 and the court cannot always be lenient, 1 especially in these extra dry days. l c. H. Michaels, owner of the Daniel
 son inn, has horses at the Windsor races l this week. He was driving one of his l horses in one heat in the races on the ' fifth, but got away to a had start in the , opening heat and was distanced. If one would appreciate just how
 much consideration this particular sec ton of the state gets from Highway l Commissioner e. J. Bennett, just take ] ride from, Brooklyn to Hampton over a. 1 stretch of highway that shows as unim 1 proved trunk line on highway maps of l the state. If Commissioner Bennett de- pended upon votes of the people of towns
 hereabouts for the office he holds, no
 overtime session of the counters would l be required to get at the total cast for ] him. People here have been told from 1 inside" sources that the commissioner does not like to be urged to do things. 1 With due consideration for Commission CT Bennetts likes and dislikes in this re- spect, his attention is again called to l the fact that the people of the towns. of Killingly, Brooklyn and Hampton have waited during his entire administration 1 of state highway department affairs for some action on the Little ReSt-Hamp- ton road-and that they are still wait i ing. Patience some times ceases to be 8 | virtue, even within the historically short l space of a century, and patience is be- coming mighty scarce in this part of the county over this particular highway question. The shortest route by many
 miles between Providence Wiilimantic and Hartford is made almost wholly use l less for motor trahic because of the de- | linquency of the highway department,
 while millions are poured into super-im-
 provements of highways in other parts ! of the state.
 i Checking up the minor casualties of
 the Fourth and FiftsAthey had two days to make a record this year-shows that the holiday period wasn't as safe and sane in this immediate vicinity as it might have been.
 Alfred socquet, who lives in a house on what is known as Shanty Hill, south of the borough, on the Wauregan road, l is at home for a few days, until it can be determined whether .22 caIibre bull
 let which his brother shot. into his thigh,
 from rife, had better be allowed to re-
 main where it has imbedded itself in the
 flesh or whether developments may in
 dicate, that it had better be removed. Casually, in passing. it may be mention
 ed that the brother didn't know it was | loaded"
 At Goodyear Louis Girard is nursing
 8 broken thumb, an injury received while
 he was trying to eject shell from re- l yolver.
 Paul Bitgood of Broad street is at
 home recovering from the experience of l having his face blown full of powder and then having it picked out again. A
 homemade cannon that didn't worE just | right caused this accident.
 | Up at the boarding house in At'awau gan Lawrence keenan, whose speciality $ | not fire crackers, guns or cannon, fell down a flight of stairs and suffered an injury to his head, causing blood to flow from the ears. A fracture of th4 skull was at first indicated. and just how se-
 rious his injury is had not bee1 deter:
 mined up to Tuesday.
 l At Dayville Mary Kilgarift, 9. daugh- I ter of MT. and Mrs. John KilgarTf, broke i her forearm when she fell off fence where she had been watching the rassi7 g show of the day.
 There were a number of reports Tues- day relative to burns and other minor l injuries received by celebrators. As the fond of writing, "a good time was had by all"
 1 Work of constructing sewer system 1 through North street is underway and
 that thoroughfare will be closed. through part of his length while this work is be- ing done. The borough is it's own con tractor in carrying out this work, Charles ! B. Hutchins of East Franklin street be-
 ing the superintendent in charge.
 A person who was called to boarding 1 house in one of Killingly's villages to 1 attend to a business errand during the !! holiday season tells of seeing about ey- tery inmate who was about in an intoxi- cated condition. A regular Jakey spree i was on, and the victims seemed benumb-
 ed, thoroughly drunk and unable to do more than move silently about, pumping
 into each other and stumbling here and
 there.

 who died Sunday morning at Gilbert
 vile, Mass, was held Tuesday morning
