lage uf North Bellingham the people ran from their houses in glad surprise to watch it go by. When the North Bel- lingham mill was passed and the car stopped at the terminus just beyond it, more than half the mill help came out to ses this sight. The first car in the village created a seusation. Thirty or forty school children clambered on board and mauy of the older townspeople hoarded the car aud were given a free ride.

The return trip to the Four Corners was made under twenty minutes withont unusual speed. The roadbed, although new, is in excellent condition and the

riding was delightfully pleasant.

Thursday afternoon workmen in the employ of the company went over the line distributing a number of guard rails, which will hs put in position on the extension of the liue from North Bellingham to Caryville. The first car was run over that line trom Milford Thursday afternoon, and thus connection is now made from Frankliu to Milford, the Framinghams, the Medways and Boston.

Supt. Young said that the direct line from Bellingham Four Corners through Bellingham centre to Milford will be completed June 1. A large gang of men are now pushing the construction work. None of the overhead work on that line has been done, but will be started on as soon as the overhead gang completes its work on the Wrentham and Attleborn branch. He also expected the latter branch would be running next week some time. The overhead work, such as haug- ing braces, stringing wires, etc., is almost completed, and as soon as it is the cars will be operated.

Air brakes for the big bloomer cars are expected to arrive withiu a week, and as they come will be affixed to the cars. These brakes will greatly facilitate the safe running of the cars.

THE BRIGHT TOMORROW.

NY MRS. E. D. CHOATE.

I am groping in the shadow And can hardly find my way, Walting for the bright tomorrow In the home of endless day.

Dearest loved ones gone before me, Lo! I see them as they stand, See their harps and hear their volces Bid me welcome to that land.

Here I walt, with rapture gazing On that heavenly scene so grand; I am saying "1 am coming. Jesuis guide me by Thy hand."

God makes answer "Simply trust Me, 1 will guide you safely through Valley of the deepest shadow Where the loved ones wait for you." Napoli, N. Y., May 20, 1900.

How Will You Treat Them?

Because of the expected coming of the trolley into town Frankliu merchants have been counting upon not a little new trade, and rightly su, especially from Medway and Wrentham, but there Is another thing to be considered in the Wrentham matter The same road which permits Wrenthamites to come to Franklin also perinits them to go to the Attlehoros and Pawtucket at a slight ad. ditional expense. Now there is but one way to secure the new trade and hold it, and that is to offer inducementa equal to what they will receive elsewhere, and further, to let prospective customers know what you have to sell through the columns of some newspaper which reaches those customers, and that is what the SENTINEL does. These facts are decidedly worth thinking about, and having given them thought they should be acted upon. Merchants, the coming of new business to Franklin depends al- most entirely upon the inducements you have to offer and the way you offer them.

A Rare Treat.
