Mr. Bristow is an experienced road buflder and was chosen as_engineer for the Rhode lsland State Board on public roads, but resigned after two years of service, io resume as con- tractor on public highways. As no appropriation was made for the build- Ing of new roads in Rhode lsland, the contractors of the state became’ com- petitors in bidding for state roads in Connecticut in order to keep their working force together and keep in use their costly working outfit. reason Mr. Bristow submitted a com- paratively low bid for the state road | and | work in the town of Stonington was awarded the conmtract which amounts to $36.000. i The preliminary work including the | staking of the line of the width and course of the roadway to be improved has been completed and the active work of road building will be com- menced on Thursday. During the pro- greas of the work it will be necegsary to close sections of the moad. buf the work will be carried forward with the Jeast possible inconveniemce to public traffic. Fer several years the Seventh-Day Baptist conference have owned the rge quantity of dishes uscd in serv- meals to those who attended the @nnual gathering from all sections of | the country. These dishes have beer #hipped from year to year to be cared for by the church where the next jon was to be held. The pack and storage of these dishes as a source of much expense. La when shipment was made from Westerly to North Loup, Neb., the cost was more than the dishes were worth. They were sold at North Loup for $25, | less than a quarter of the original cost. Station Agent Smith, while substi- tuting for Ticket Agent Golden had a leasing experience at the ticket of- ce in the rallroad station, recently, A stranger called for a ticket for Provi- dence and laid down a $5 bili, and, a Mr. Smith's custom, he made the change for the five before reaching for the ticket. intending to pick up the Bbill and then pass out the change with the ticket. While Mr. Smith reached for the ticket, the stranger substituted & $3 bill for the $5. Mr. Smith was on and shoved $3 of the change aside, paseing the balance with the ticket out to the stranger. Mr. Smith smiled while the stranger meekly walked away. Judge George T.
