A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT.

MT Editor must congratulate you not on ly on the quantity but the quality of your pa per. "Firstly," as the parson says, it is big double sheet paper, as many think two pa perS, and the matter therein contained is Wor- thy of more than a casual glance. For exam pie, the able article on 'fHow to make the farm pay" or Five Farm Topics, by Brother Scott ot Bethlehem The advice to cut bushes, pull weeds etc., at odd times was well suggested, for we all know, if we will think, that what the immortal artist, Michael Angelo said, is one of natures truths, "Trihes make pertec- tion, but perfection is no trite."
 We all know that what "Poor Richard" or some other poor man said, is true, that 'W hat ever is worth doing at all is worth doing we'll" Shakespear also said, or wrote: "TO thine own self be true, and it will follow, as the night the day, thou canst be false to no man." We read also in "Holy Writ '' "Cast not thy pearls before swine, lest they turn again and rend you" therefore MT Editor, I perceive you have ia very hard row to hoe," unless you can waive your own ideas and individu. ality, putting yourself entirely in the hands of your local correspondents, to make or break you.
 There is no necessity to fear any dire effects from them, however, when we candidly pe- ruse the 'Editorial Ink Drops," and apprecl- ate the ideas therein contained as briefly touched upon under their various headings. All jokes aside, we, your readers, cannot help but enjoy the bounteous spread of news, town, county state and national which is given us in the Busy BEE Of Newtown, Conn.
 Wishing you and all aspirants toward pub. lie enlightenment, "God Speed," I remain as eVer,Nery Truly Yours.-[T. V .,Goshen, Conn.

MORE ABOUT MIR ENTZ.


 The community was severely shocked on Sunday evening by the sudden death Of Ferdinand $. Entz. MT Entz and family have occupied the Samuel Glover place this summer and have formed quite an attachment for the place, having made large and pleasant acquaintance with our people. Owing to the progress of the disease which ended his life so suddenly, he has been a sufferer for several months, and retired from busi- ness. He was an enthusiastic spectator at the ball games on Saturday. On Sun he suffered a severe headache all day. At the tea-table he seemed unusually bright and ate heartily and with relish. Suddenly, while at the table. he became unconscious and expired within an hour. He leaves family of three daughters and two sons, the latter being members of the Waddell-Entz Storage Battery Co, of Bridgeport. Brief services were held at the residence on Tuesday evening and the remains were taken to Woodland on Wednesday morning.
