 STAFFORD
 -Frederick Remmert, who died on the 25th ult., was the oldest German born resident of the town, having lived in Staf- ford most of the time for the past 45 years. He was married in Stafford, his wife, who survives him, being a native of Will lington. They reared large family of children, one of whom is Walter Rem inert, proprietor of the Central House. MT. Remmert was 8 well read man of con- siderable intelligence, and quite infuen- tial among German residents until within few years, during which he has been in poor condition of health. He made a trip to fatherland few years ago. During most of his residence in Stafford his occu- patton has been that of dyer.
 It is gratifying that in the gratula- tions of Rockville on it's new high school building good mention is made of the prin- cipal, I. M. Agard, Stafford boy. Rock vile is quick to begin boosting over 'the finest school building in Holland county" Stafford Springs school house has been an impediment to such boasts in the past. Rockville's school building is something that the whole county is proud of, and Stafford Springs feels proud of coming so near to being a good second in the matter of owning fine school house.

 Much more concrete work is being done in the borough this season than was ever done before in any one year. One section of sidewalk made this week ex- tends from Dr. Newton's residence on East Main street to the bridge near the Central House. The portion in front of the Ives place is much criticised, but while not what it ought it ought to be, is an inn provement. The walk is laid high be- cause to place it where it should be would necessitate tearing down the high wall in front of the lawn. There is a marked fault in grade at this point, the sidewalk on the north side being much above the street, and that on the south side still further below it. The borough authori- ties have permitted rather than author ized the work now being done. Private subscription is paying for the relaying of the gutters so as to support the curbing. The curbing being lower than the base of the wall, the concrete at places while giving six feet of level walk, then falls sharply several inches to the curb level. This was the case also, however, when the walk was gravelled.
 At the wheelmen's tournament at Norwich last Monday Charles R. Newton captured every prize for which he con- tested, and Harry O. Converse won in the one mile novice race. Newton's races were the one mile open, time 2.35 3-5, the one mile 3-minute, time 2.53, the one mile handicap, in which he was the scratch man, but won in 2.36 2-5 against eleven competitors. On Tuesday Newton at tended the Hartford tournament, winning there the one mile handicap race to Con- necticut riders only, time 2.16 1-5, also getting fifth prize in the one mile open tc all. Just before going upon the track al Hartford on Tuesday, too late to remedy it, Newton found that he had "soft tire," some one having evidently tamper- ed with his wheel while coming from Nor. wich the night before. It had been sc scratched that some wind had escaped. 70. R. Newton is entered in two i'm portant races at the Springfield cycle tournament next week.
 Miss Kitty Smith this week begins her second year at Monson Academy. She was last year elected president of hel class.
 The public should bear in mind that there is no such thing as shutting down for newspaper, no matter how hard the times. Neither is there any way to ma terially reduce expenses in a newspaper office. It takes just so many hands, just so much paper and just so much work to get out a paper, good times or bad.
