Mrs Rufus B. Jennings and daughter
Emma returned home, last week Thurs
day. Miss Emma is almost fully restor-
ed to health and is very thankful to es-
cape so easily from the dreaded scarlet
fever.
The Center district has almost a scarf
atina scare. About two weeks ago, little
Pauline Beers was taken sick in school
with what proved to be scarlatina, but in
a mild form at present, the little girl is
about as we'll as ever. The disease seems
to have spread no further, but, during
the present week, many of the parents
have kept their children home, fearful
lest it should be time for those exposed
by Pauline to be stricken down. 1t seems
as though there could be no danger after
two full weeks and we hope that the
worst is over and that all the children
will be back in their places, next week.
Fred Durham has been making a short
but wondrously sweet visit to friends in
LdSLtIu IlC IOiue
on Tuesday.
Once more Greenfield has been called
upon to part with one of its residents.
This time it is Charles Downs, who has
left the village. On Monday, he moved
to Mill Plain, which will be his residence
for the future. Fora long time, his work
has been in Bridgeport and it was desir-
able to have his home Il little more con-
veniently situated for getting to the
trains. By the departure of Mr. Downs
and his family, Greenfield loses some
kind neighbors and the Center school
three studious and faithful pupils. Sue
cess to them all, wherever their lot may
be cast!
Last week Wednesday, Fred Meeker
had the misfortune to cut one of his toes
by the CHANGING of the axe with which he
was chopping. The Wound bled profuse-
ly, requiring the service of DR. Durham.
Fred is now able to hobble about and
will soon be as we'll as ever.
Last week Wednesday evening, tenn
perance lecture under the auspices OF
the Y. z. S. G. E. was given in the Con-
gregational church, by G. A. Dorman.
DIR Dorman handled the subject, old as
the creation of man, in an Ineligible
manner, using terms easily comprehend
ed by all minds and clearly demonstrate
ed the proposition that intempreance i'm
pairs and ultimately destroys, both the
physical and the moral nature. DR. Dor
man lectured to good sized and attent-
i've audience.
