An Important Discourse.

Rev. F. B. Sleeper gave the last sermon of his series on "The Prodigal Son" Sunday evening at the Baptist church. His theme was "The Elder Son." He emphasized the thought that selfish

doubt will become a popular place. The ride in the electrics eitber from Franklin or Woonsocket to the pond is a beautiful one, and the pond being half way between the two places cau draw from botb places.

New Telephones.

Sixteen new telephones bavs just been subscribed fot to go into residences, and this list will doubtlese be quite largely increased shortly. Then will follow as a matter of course more telephones in the stores.

We trust that by June the Franklin exchange will number at least seventy- five subscribers.

We have repeatedly stated that a little personal work would do this, and it has proven true. The solicitor, R. E. Healey, has proven himself a most cour- teous and successful representative. He is obliged to leave the tield for about ten days, wben he will return and finish up the work. Those who have just sub. scribed are as follows: Charles J. Mc. Kenzie, Dr. A. J. Gallison, Rev. Dr. Hodge, Dr. J. M. Crowley, Dr. Solon Abbott, Charles F. Nye, Supt. E. D. Daniels, W. A. Wyckoff, F. P. Chapman, Charles L. Stewart, J. E. Clarke, A. D. Thayer, Clarence Quilter, W. Dinsmore, Mrs. W. F. Ray, Miss Lydia P. Ray.

The Scarlet Fever Matter.

Elsewhere may be seen the article by

the Board of Health. Realizing the amount of talk that this epidemic has aroused, they wish to impress upon ali tbe wisdom of exercising just at present more than the usual care in regard to the further spread of the disease, which -thus far bas been confined largely to

mild forms of scarletina. Cases are cropping up here and there which proner care would bave prevented. The SENTI- NEL desires to allay the fears as far as possible, urgiug at the same time all wise and necessary precautions.
