ISSUANCE OF SCHOOL BONDS. Matter Te Be Decided Upon At Special Meeting—Error Nuliifies Previous Act, A call has been issued by the se- lectmen of the town of Windham for a special town meeting to be held Friday night, December 26t at 8 o'clock, for the purpose of f; ac- tion on the issuamce of bonds to the value of $150,000 with which to pay for the construction of the Windham High School and the Natchaug Gram- mar Sehool. The reason for this action is be- cause there was a slip made by a clerk in the last general assembly, which rendered null and void an act passed and amended by that body giving the town power to issue such bonds. The action to be taken now will undoubtedly be to issue bonds under the general laws of the state, PILES CURED FROM 6 to 14 DAYS Druggists refund money if Pazo Ointment fails to cure itching, blind, Dbleedi or protruding piles.

M has been acting for some time and thought to have unbalanced. In company with his ter-in-law and brother he left h mother’s house near the fair grounds to go to John B. Parola’s in Cooper Lane. They had been walking but a few minutes when the trolley leaving Stafford Springs at 1.20 came along and Attilio stepped in front of the car and was instantly killed. The act has every indication of being suicide and the theory that it was is sub- stantiated by letters which he had re- cently written to relatives saying that he contemplated suicide.

Parkhurst has ordered all the schools in the borough closed on account of the smallpox cases which have been discovered in town.'
