There will be a Social Dance tins
"wednesday evening III the Town
Hall at Pomfret Center. Music,
Woodstock Quintette Band, instead OF
Woodstock Brass Band as we men
toned last week. Bill, Sl,Oo. All
are invited to attend.
The advance agent of Whtmore
Clarh's Minstrels was in town this week
posting this famous troupe for Friday
evening of this week at the Town Hall.
The Agent is ''green" and does not fully
understand his biz, but Clark and Hank
do, and they are sure to "draw" a full
house. Hank has made several additions
to himself since you last saw him, such as
an extention of the orificc on the head,
bay window, mansard roof, SC. Clark
has come into the possession Of some new
family secrets which he will relate in his
inimitablc style. Go see and hear 'em.
Some financers think it would be
good move for Woodstock to hire
money and buy up the W. r. II.
Bonds and save paying a high rate OF
interest on them. This seems feasible
enough just now, but in the end it
would not he so well, for the more the
town owns in the Railroad the worse
she is off. If one business man con-
trolled the road he would pay off the
debt and get rich, but stockholders or
town can't do anything with it.
The ladies of the Universalist So
ciety will hold their annual Festival
at the Town Hal, iThursday evening,
February 9TH. 1t is proposed to add
calico, and character costume mas
querade, in order to render the occa-
sion still more enjoyable All are
cordially invited to be present in such
costume as they may choose or in
their usual dress. In addition to the
ordinary attractions there will De
some entirely royel to this place. The
''Busy Bees" request all to give them
call at their Hive during the eve
ming. One of the Societies famous
Oyster suppers will be served at nine
O'Clock.
Ifyou find a choice bit of gossip, origi-
pal or selected, don't stop to think of the
ridiculossity fit, but run. right over to
Mrs. Samantha Brown jenkins and tell
her all about it-tell 1t in your best style,
and if you can add word or two to make
1t stronger, do it. Tell her not to men,
ton 1t for the world, OF course she told
Mr.. commissioning one flesh, this is not
telling anybody-Jenkins drops part OF
it somewhere, somebody takes it up and
re.vamps it, and the village has full
blown scandal "made to order" This
kind of chat is not wholly confined to the
lower strata of society, but is much In
vogue even among those who think them
selves "kulchurd." Quit it. Rise above
1t. 1t is miserable, dirty habit, and
nothing but habit, and the more you In
dulge it the more it grows in you. Such
will-o- the-wisp stories sometimes cause
very excellent people much grief, and
even the gossip Is shocked" when he or
she sees the rdiculosity Of the tale. We
Gay, quit II.
