SOUTH BRITAIN.

The many friends and neighbors of Philo J. IIawley, who died last week af- ter painful and lingering illness, show cd their respect, Sunday, to the number of 100 carriages. Mir Hawley was an eX- ceptionally accommodating neighbor, al- ways ready and willing to go or send his men or teams to help any one who called on him for help. He bought and furn- ished timber and ties for the Shepaug road and there WIS side track and switch near his house, suitable for load ing charcoal, timber, etc. It is sad but true that many times we must lose our friends before we fully appreciate or know their worth. It is to be hoped that his friends and neighbors willreturn the compliment and help the widow and fatherless.
 The day being stormy, the auction of the k. C. Squires property was post poned.
 The Good Templars of Quaker Farms gave a fine entertainment in the lodge room in South Britain. The closing re- marks by Grand Worthy Chief o. J. Range were applauded, as usual and all were anxious to have few words with him. None could help seeing that the loss of his son Edward had saddened his life. We must all try to help him in some way; at least we can help him by not asking SO much of him.
 Quite number attended the convent ion of Good Templars in Washington.
 Range lodge gave an ice cream and strawberry festival, Tuesday night.

 The majority of the tobacco growers in this section have abandoned the culti- vation of the weed, as they find it no longer profitable. The importation of Sumatra tobacco has certainly proved detrimental to the tobacco growing in- terests of the State.
 The residents of the Forge district had their curiosity aroused, last week, by a man and woman who drove through that section. Their Ostensible business was selling silyerware. They made a num- Der of calls and conducted themselves in a very queer manner, to say the least. The oldest person now living in town is Mrs Cynthia Wheeler, aged 93 years. Mrs Wheeler has four sons and two daughters living, Mrs William COgsWeIl (with whom she resdes), Mrs I. Burritt of Southington, C. B. Wheeler of Bridge port, Bradley Wheeler of Stepney, II. B. Wheeler of Weston and w. A. Wheeler of South Norwalk. This venerable lady, who has lived nearly quarter of a cen tury pa st the allotted age of man, retains her faculties to remarkable degree and ! is patiently awaiting her Masters sum- mons. She was visited, Sunday, by two of her sons, Bradley and W. A.

After an exciting chase of near ly mile, he was captured and taken to tine county jail by Sheriff Chapman.

 Two weeks ago Sunday, E. B. Seeley of Cutters Farm had the misfortune to have fine yearling colt hooked by an OK.

Much credit is due Dr Seth Hill, who acted as veterinary surgeon in the case, proving himself skillful with the animal as he is well known to be with the hu- man race.- B.
