Carpenter Waterhouse of East Bridge
port has the contract for putting up the
fences to replace stone walls taken for
the macadam road.
1t is expected that the plant of the
road contractors will be
moved in about 10 days from the present
location at the town line, near Il. A. NAL
let's, to a place near l.. G. Beers's, Mod
esty avenue. Though progressing well,
it is extremely doubtful if the road can
be completed on contract time.
Seymour Hawley has been under

Mr. and Mrs Vans of New York visit

The work of enlargement at Tait's mill
has been delayed by complications aris-
ing from the careful adjustment of heavy
machinery and the placing of new en-
CINE. These difficulties have been large
ly overcome and fine quality of paper
was the result of Mondays trial. The
sheet of wet paper or board, thoroughly
dry, calendar and deliver ready for ship
ment. 1t is evident that the capacity of
such a machine will be great. Trumbull
may well be proud that she has private
company so prosperous and progressive
and with such bright outlook. These
facts lead us to inquire, why cannot we
have other industries started in Trum-
bull? We have excellent railroad facili-
ties. If few inducements were only
made, light industries might be carried
on as successfully here as at Long Hill
and elsewhere. A little town would
grow up, with modern improvements and
advantages. Are we making the best of
our opportunities? Nothing venture,
nothing have"

The Christian Endeavor society of the
Congregational church went on an ex-
cursion to Glen Island, the 2sth. The
heavy shower in the morning prevented
many from going, yet the society was
we'll represented. The excursion proved
very pleasant to all. Ample time was
allowed to see the many interesting sights.
The showery morning gave place to a
fair noon and a golden sunset. The lat
ter, on the return, was much enjoyed by
the Endeavor societies aboard, who gath
cred in the bow of the boat and, in the
light, spent an hour of song. The socie-
ty may well look forward to another as
pleasant an annual picnic.
A junior society of Christian Endeavor
will be organized at the Congregational
church, this week Saturday afternoon at
2 o'clock. 1t is desirable that all child
rem be present that the organization may
be perfected.

The need of the visitation now going

tea when you call.
