A visit to the different liv- eties of # Sunday atternoon nowadays will betray the fact that scarcely a horse is ont, whereas in the past, before the advent of the cars, to losure a rig for a Sunday afternoon one would have to make lilotelf knownat the stables a wsek in advance. Even then the case

The farmers in that part of the town. sbip where Frank H. Randall watches was the rising sun consider that one man ben efits his neighbors as well as himself by keeping a dog. The dog Is an Intelligent canine, and olthough he speaks only the dog language, it has a mlasion, to whiob it steadily devotes itself.

Its motto is death to skunks and woodchucks, and it has shown its ability In Its particular line by bringing in during the past year 162 of these auimal pests, occasionally two at a

time. As a result the vicinity, a year ago overrun with these destroyers of the farmers' produce, Is becoming a a place where the liller of the soll has to fight only boys, worms and the weather to get some return for his labor.

Summer street bas au old landmark in the Haywood house. It is one of the oldest buildings In town, and traditiou gives it the credit of once serving as a hotel, with the story that while devoted to the service of the public one traveler tarried there and was never seen after- wards. This is a tradition so bound up n the uncertainty of old times that no particulars of name or nation of the indi- vidual have come down to us of the pre- sent generation. Since former times the house has been enlarged, but it retains much of the appearance and many of the characteristics of the ancient days when Taunton and Worcester stages used to pass the door. It has been iu the bands of the Haywood family for many years. Que thing that deserves immediate at- tention of some persons who have the

right to look after it, is the free use of indecent language that can be heard from the boys wherever two or three are togetber. The boys seem not to

[ The editor assumes no responsibility for mat. ter under this caption. This column is entirely at the disposal of the public, avoiding, as far a grows around the rails lying along the |possible, trivial and controversial matter.] highway gutter, and a director of the M.| A. & W. said the other day that there was uo knowing when construction would hegiu.

Matters are a trifle complicated in re- gard to putting in the line. Last year, when the Foxboro company had built to the Wrentham town Ilne, and thought the M., A. & W., was slow in building to meet them, a local company was form- ed in Wrentham, back of which was the Foxboro company, and application made for a franchise to Lake Pearl,

As a result of this move and the oppo- sition to it by the M., A. & W. & com. promise was made and It was understood that the latter company would build to the Foxboro line by the present month. Theu the Foxboro company went into the hands of a receiver, so that there was no one to enforce the agreement, if

MIR. EDITOR :- It is about thirty years ago that the Franklin Register first made Its appearance. It was the first weekly paper published in the town and it met with great success. There was hardly a business man In town but what adver. tised In its columns; there were few copies sold in the streets, as most every one was a subscriber. For a time the Register was very ably conducted, but the management sought other avenuee for money-getting to the neglect of the patrons, and consequently the paper fell to a unu-paying basis. The Franklin SENTINEL, inaugurated by two young meu of moral force and mental euergy, next appeared and the Register soon closed its doors to its young and stronger rival. There have been other uewspa. pers with Franklin headlines started, but one after another they collapsed. Through all the changes of management the SEN- TINEL has ever been in close touch with the people, and there are many names on its subscription list today of many peg- ple who have never missed an issue since Vol. I, No. I. There are very few conn- try papers that have the local tuatter

that the SENTINEL does. There are about seven bundred and fifty lines of lecal niatier, as any one can see hy count- Ing ou the first page. To have some ade. quate conception of the work In gather- ing this amount of matter, to say nothing of setting and distributing the typs, just set about going from point to point and putting into concise shape fifty eight hundred words, for this is what it amounts to.
