 A slender stick is easily broken but bind number of them firmly together and they defy the strength of man. The same way in building up a town; one man can not do much alone, but 8 whole community is all-powerful.
 Never send dollar away from home when the article that the dollar will pur- chase can be obtained at home. Money is our financial blood. Its circulation keeps the business body alive Bleed that body by sending that money away from home and soon trade will put on a look of lethargy and inactivity. Always trade at home. It is twice blessed. It helps the person patronized and finds its way to you again.

 NORWICH, Dec. s.-The Rev. Dr. Leonard Woolsey Bacon, of the Second Congrega- tional church, spoke Sunday evening from the subject, ''The Completion of the New Theatre" He had recently criticised the management for working on the building on Sundays, and sharp arraignment with denunciation of the play house was expect ed. Instead, however, the reverend gen. tleman spoke in high terms of the edifice as erected, and among other things said: "We have got to look the facts in the face, and recognize that the old sweeping con- demnation of the theatre once universal among earnest, pure and faithful men was founded on a state of facts which no longer exist. In view of these changes, for the church to retain it's old attitude of con- demning all indiscriminately would not be consistent" He closed with an open welcome to tho new theatre.
