A CARD FROM A. G. BAKER.

Our furniture business at Hawleyville is now so well known far and near, that we feel that we may safely, for time at least, cut down our advertising expenses. An lad" to be of any value, should be changed every week. We are too busy to do it. Besides, we heard man say, the other day that "that furniture man at Hawleyville, who ad- vertises so much, must be a fool" Queer what big game one runs onto sometimes when one goes out without a gun.l Another more charitable friend remarked to us confi- dentially, in an of hand way. that writing lads" out of business hours is liable to lead to softening of the brain. Mind you, he did not say we had got it; and he looked away over into the next county when he said it but,-well, we are not slow to take hint, if 1t is a blind one. It would be perfectly aw- full If we should really get 1t (this softening disease, we mean, ! and have 1t get real deep ly seated before we knew it. or before we had time to vaccinate. So we are going to stop right of short, give up our advertising col umns for awhile, pocket the money that would otherwise go into the coffers of these "grasping newspaper monopolies," eat brain hardening food and attend strictly to busi- ness, i. e. selling furniture at Hawleyville. what you think. Just remember how sensi- tive we are to adverse criticism. and say that we are simply boycotting and playing Debs with the newspapers for awhile. Don't tell them that we are tired or waiting for any thing 10 harden. Be compassionate. be just be considerate. be charitable be liberal mind ed one with another and last of all be sure and come to Hawleyville before you buy your furniture. Please commit this last sentence to memory and then pin 1t in your hat.

THE BRIDGE HELD.
Now Hold the Bridge.

"Speak we'll of bridge that carries you safely over." Occasionally we hear the North Canaan Water Go. and its equipment spoken of with derision; but in case of drought or fire the ''moun- tain water" is mighty good thing to depend on, and at such times it's value is fully appreciated. Several times in cases of fire the water system has paid for itself. It paid for itself again last Sunday morning. To be sure the wa ter was slow in reaching the fire, but the truth of the old proverb 'better late than never" was verified.
 Likewise Canaan's much derided those company" hose cart and equip ment demonstrated that they are not useless.
 Give us more water and more and better hose, and we are willing to pay for it.
 By the way, one hundred feet of gar den hose is Ca good thing to have in the family" and every house and public building should be equipped with it, and then in case offire the roofs can bs kept wet and flames otherwise held in check until the hose company ar rives.

To be sure, Canaan has no perfectly organized and well drilled hose company, but it has number of faithful volunteers who rally promptly at every fire and work faithfully to sub due flames and save property. Now it behoyes Canaanites to furnish the ''sinews of war" by subscription or by taxation in order that hose company may be thoroughly organized and equipped to make war in systematic manner upon the Fire Fiend,
