About twenty new houses have been, or are being, erected in Canaan this sea- son. and yet this place has no building boom. For number of years this viii lage has had steady and legitimate growth, and houses have been in de- mand. Strangers enquire "what makes Canaan grow, and what do Canaanites do for iving2" We'll, there are many causes for Canaan's growth. It would require considerable time and space to enumerate them. We will mention only few, but the most casual observer can find legion of causes if he will only make tour of the village.
 Canaan has good and wholesome air; an abundant supply of pure spring wa ter; beautiful scenery; delightful drives (although the roads need some improve ment;) excellent railway, postal, tele- graph and telephone facilities extend ing in all directions; newspaper; good public schools;an academy;four church. es; good stores and an industrious, good, law and order loving class of citizens.
 People love to reside in Canaan where there is very little of the so call ed caste, but whore everyone takes 8 right view of life and is on friendly or speaking terms with his neighbor whether that neighbor has one thousand pence or one thousand pounds in his vest pocket.
 What do Canaan people do for liv- ing? They. work for ivingl Nearly everyone is actively engaged in business or in some honorable employment; and they are not ashamed to work either. There are five lime companies in town, two blast furnaces, one sash and blind factory, two creameries; and all the pro- fessions and trades are we'll represented. The two railway companies give employ ment to many persons.
 Canaan has another attraction, tor more properly speaking, attractions) which we must mention, viz, Canaan ladies. The accomplishments, grace, beauty and goodness of Canaan ladies is proverbial. They make good wives. Canaan men know or comprehend this fact, and it is also known far and near. Seldom does Canaan man seek con- panion from another town, but when he wants good wife, g genuine helpmeet, he selects a Canaan lady. Men from other places come to Canaan, marry Ga naan ladies, build, buy or rent house and make permanent home here. The majority of our professional men will forgive us if we refer to them for proof of this statement.
 Beautiful Canaan, the gem of the Housatonic valley, protected from tenn pest by grand old Wangum mountain on the south and east, and by the Taukanic range on the north and west bathed by the noble Housatonic river and the Blackberry, the Konkapot and the Whiting rivers;a land whose valley s are fertile and whose hillsides are cover. ed with focks and herds; land literally flowing with milk and honey. May peace and plenty always abide within its borders. Canaan is good place to be born in; good place to live in; a good place to die in, and good place to be buried in, All Hail. Glorious Old Canaan!
 What Canaan needs most at the pres ent day is a large summer hotel, and plenty of summer boarding houses to accommodate the throng who would gladly spend the season in Canaan could they find rooms.
