DEATH OF FRANK TITUS.


 The death of Frank Titus, which oc- cured last week Wednesday morning, removed one of the older citizens of the town. His age was 70. The late MT Titus was native of Washington, born on Church Hill. He was the son of Slas Titus, who lived where Curtis Titus now resides. Beside his widow, there survive him, three children, Albert A. Titus, Mrs Hattie Franklin and Mrs Titus of Washington and Jerome Titus of New Milford, and Mrs H. H. More house, Mrs Peck Beach and Mrs Hine, three sisters, survive him. The late MT Titus had been in delicate health for the last few years of his life. Last summer he paid a visit to Illinois. The subject | of this sketch was a farmer, and he car | ried on the farm on Church Hill, now | managed by his son, Albert A. Titus. He was a man highly esteemed by his | fellow citizens. He was a member of | Rising Sun lodge of Masons, who con- ducted the funeral exercises at the grave The funeral occurred on Friday, and the very large attendance testified to the regard in which he was held by his kins men and neighbors. Rev MT Phalandt of New Haven was the officiating clergy man.

VILLAGE CHURCH TOPICS.

Mrs A. E. Corning and Mrs F. J.

We hope there will be a good attendance. songs will be sung, essays, real sermoniZing exemplified and the prospect of a gener- al good time had.
 Rev MT Evans delivered a sermon, last Sunday morning, at the Village church, especially directed to this village, princi- pally concerning the number of non- church goers here and also the vast amount of profanity used in all public places here during the week. We regret that all interested were not present to hear him. Too many empty pews are seen each Sunday in the church which might be occupied if every family in this ecclesiastical society was represented at ChulCh On CuuCdy' IOIdnIby iS OuS oI the most scnseless, useless habits man can become addicted to, while the enor- nous, abominable sin of the same against a pure and righteous God can scarcely be computed. Sometimes it is thought that such a sermon does not reach the most deserving ears, but to all who hears or to whom it is repeated it will do no hurt to ponder upon the truths contained therein.

Live Farm Topics.
ON THE FARM.

Don't run a wagon wheel which has
 loose tire. It will grind into the sand, and parts which were fitted tightly will be worn loose so that when the tire is set the wheel will not be in good shape.
 The same thing is true about other re-
 pairs on farm rolling stock. It doesn't pay to defer needed repairs on wagons l that are in use.
 Hustle along with the wood pile. Don't take Poky Jack method of always I thinking there will be plenty of time be- tween now and spring. Remember that
 February is short month. Don't pile up
 a lot of knots to rot. Cross-cut them in I to sizes which can be dropped into the | big sitting-room heater, or used on the hearth.
 Paint the wagons while the sleighs are
 in use, and don't leave any of them out in | the March winds. Lack of protection by paint and housing spoil more wagons | than do wear and tear.
 It costs just as much to feed and ta Ike | care of poor cows as of good ones, II costs more. because their owner has the disccuraging consciousness that he is
 getting nothing for his labor. Then
 why is it that sane man will keep poor cows?
 There's seldom anything lost by grind
 ing grain into very fine meal. An anima | is sure to utilize the whole amount fed
 when it is finely ground, but cannot be
 relied upon to do so with entire grain.
