Madison.

At special town meeting held at the Town Hall last Saturday, it was voted to repair and widen the road familiarly known as Neck Lane. This is much needed reform, as sev- eral seaside cottages have been erected there, and the road has been hardly in decent or der.
 Regrets are expressed on all sides that our worthy station agent, MT. David Gould, is about to be transferred from the station in Madison to South Norwalk. He has been here about two years and by his faithful discharge of duties and pleasant social quail ties has won the confidence and esteem of all with whom he has been associated. The best wishes of many friends will follow him to his new home. Charles E. Way, the present agent at Fair Haven, will take his place.

Old Boreas on the Ramuaees

The high wind whistled around the chin- ney tops and steeples, and blew bricks down into the street, ,scaring the people who walked below. Snow, sleet and hail drove into the faces of those who dared expose themselves, and made them button their coats tight around their throats. Of course there were sore throats and colds and coughs and rheu- matisms the next day. But what were these to men and women who could step into any drug store and buy bottle of Perry Davis' Pain Killer?
