SMITH & MURRAY.

The Fall Campaign on Dress Goods has now begun.
 You perhaps know what an invitation of that kind means here.
 To say that it's large stock says but little. But when we tell you that the va- riety and exclusiveness of the stock Is surprisingly large that means more.
 We might have told you something sim- liar before, yet it's meaning becomes more influential season after season.
 We say so because the growth of this department demonstrates the fact. You know that 1t is a mere chance that we can't satisfy your wants in the Dress Goods line.
 In addition to the complete range of colorings and qualities of Cashmeres, Serges and Henrietta Cloths we have
 FANCY CREPON WHIPCORDS, considered one of the most fashionable dress materials of the season.
 PRUNELLA CLOTH, TWO-TONED CORD, COLORED POPLINE, FAN BEDFORD CORDS, PARTI-COLOR- ED CORDS, HEAVY DIAGONAL and WIDE-WALE CLOTH.
 FRENCH PATTERN SUITS-Over two hundred colorings to select from, no two being alike.
 You can see them all, even if you do not care to purchase.

ROCKVILLE.

The recent change in the proprietor ship of the Rockville stable suggests a word relative to its history. MT. Thrall, twenty years ago, bought the business of MT. Jeremiah Page, now deceased. The predecessor of MT. Page was MT. Ed. Clark, now of the Wauregan stable, Nor wich. After running the business some time MT. Thrall was so successful that he felt warranted in buying the real estate also, and he has owned and improved ii ever since. In 1885 he tore down the old barn and built the present new and com modious barn and sheds. The past season he has erected store building for grain and feed store. MT. Thrall has now a good paying property, the result of his twenty years of industry and economy. He has earned a rest, or season of lighter labor, and we hope he will enjoy it fol many years.-Rockot1le Journal.
 At the republican senatorial conven. tion for the 23d district, held at Andovel last Friday, Charles Phelps, of Rockville was nominated. MT. Phelps is a well. known lawyer, coroner of Holland county city attorney of Rockville, and represent. ed the town of Vernon in the legislature in 1885. He is a graduate of Wesleyan.

(COrreSpOndence.)
 Annual Fair of the Union Society.
 The cheerless aspect of Wednesday morning had a rather discouraging effect upon the spirits of the managers of the four towns fair which was held in Somers October 5th, and up to about noon it looked as though the fair would have to be postponed until the next day, but the threatening rain held off and the exhibit ors began to come in with their different articles until there was good display of stock, farm produce and fancy articles. There were many articles exhibited in the hall that merit something more than a general notice. As we entered the hall our attention was attracted to some works of art, from the pencil and brush of Mrs. H. M. Browns and H. J. Shaw. Then the fancy work showed plainly hours of toll, then bedquilts, with every design to be thought of, from the crazy pattern to the one of nearly four thousand pieces. Of the last we will say that we will no longer wonder at the success of our veteran school marm, in teaching young ideas how to shoot. Carlos Bradley was there with 60 varieties of potatoes, IS of apples, and Il of squash. We do not imply that Mr. B. was the only exhibitor of these products, for there were others equally as good. The exhibit of poultry was very good. The exhibit of stock and horses was credit to any society. Noticeable was the four-year-old stallion, Hosea P. owned by the Kibbe Brothers. The dis play of working cattle was not as good as it'would have been had the weather been pleasant. Calvin Ravens exhibited the only pair of steer calves, and they were beauties, only six months old, but so trained that they are very handy. We think this is one of the oldest agricultural societies in the state, this being the fifty fourth annual exhibition. The society is formed of the four towns of Somers, East Windsor, Enfield and Ellington, the fai1 being held in each town successively in the order named. To meet the expenses the state appropriates $1OO and the bal. ance comes from the sale of privileges.
 The funeral of Mrs. H. c. Timson who died very suddenly, was buried from the centre church last Tuesday. The Somers grange attended in body. During the high wind of last Thurs day the flag staff of the republican flag blew down.

FURNITURE FACTORY.
Prospects Favorable for Another
Industry i'm our Midst.

Parties were here last Friday from
the east for the purpose of looking the
ground over with a view Of establishing
furniture factory. Where their pre-
sent factory is located they are crowded
for room and their constantly growing
business demands larger quarters.
Having heard of the advantages offered
in the twin cities through an agent of
the c. NJ. & st. Paul Railroad Company,
they looked our ground over. They
met with most of the business men and
made proposition for the removal of
their factory here which we have every
reason to believe will be accented by
our citizens.
They come highly recommended as
business men. Mr.. L. NJ. Nash gave
them carriage drive about both cities
and they were very much taken up
with the twins. They are anxious to
come and we sincerely hope nothing
will transpire to prevent their coming.
The constantly growing prospects of
the twins must not be impeded by the
raising of few thousand dollars. The
proposition made provides for a stock
company whose capital will be $50, 900
and the factory to employ about IS men,
This means an increase of at least 500
people to our present population.

Aother Passenger Train.

Commencing Monday August 18th,
two passenger trains will be run daily,
except Sunday, each way on the Valley
Division of the G. M. and St. P. road.
That this road is doing splendid bust
ness and its traffic constantly increasing
is self evident, and we are glad to note
that this growing trade has necessitated
and warranted another train. AS the
schedule now stands the new train
going North will be passenger No. )
leaving Centralia at 6:04 p. m. Going
South it will be No. 6 leaving Centralia
at 1902 p. m. The other train will
continue under It's usual time going
North at $3.50 a. m. returning south at
500 p. m. This is an excellent change
and will give splendid opportunities for
short business trips either way.
