The enormous development Of the
match industry In Sweden Is owing to
the rational manner In which It has been
carried on, as also to the equality OF the
manufacture, and that machines have

now manufactured in Sweden. Aspen
wood is used both for matches and

BRIDGEPORT.

With new shapes in hats and bonnets and new and varied styles for trimming the same. it is not a wonder that Mrs George Durham of No. 437 Main street, should give competitors in her line of mer- chandise about all they can do to keep up with the procession. This weeks display includes several special features that are new in the fashion world. Men, tion is made of sailors in all colors, trimmed leghorns anG summer round hats may well turn the buyers head. Prices are never permitted to keep step with the thermometer in hot weather at Duuham's, which is point of interest with all patrons tn SC days.

Ayres goes on, and that's how it comes about that a customer once fitted at 3S1 Main street remains customer year in and year out. and Ayres holds sway as the leader in good boots and shoes at low prices.

 The Sunday school convention held at
 Gaylordsville, last week, was not as well
 attended by our people as it ought to have
 been. Such privileges are too rare and
 too helpful to be allowed to pass unnotic-
 ed. We would pass the good word along
 that another state, New Jersey, has re-
 gently enacted law requiring scientific temperance instruction in her public
 schools. Now there are but five states left in the Union where the children are without this instruction in the day schools. But good laws will not enforce themselves, as we find on inquiring in
 our own small town, that the parents of
 but few scholars have furnished the re- quired books for study. It is very neces-
 sary that the board of education, parents
 and all interested, use their influence to
 carry out the requirements of Connecti-
 cuts law, which says that proper books shall be in the hands of pupils and studied as other branches are and any failure on the part of teachers in complying with the law, satisfactorily proven ''shall be deemed sufficient cause for withholding
 amount of school dividend which such district is entitled to receive" Approv- ed physiologies can be obtained at w.. 1 E. Haw1ey's. J.. G. Holland says the more thoroughly we can instruct the I young concerning this dominating evil, "(intemperance) the better will it be 1 for them and the world.

A WORD FROM EDWARD TAYLOR.

One word to the farmers and public at large who contemplate breeding, this season. If you will bear with me 8 few moments will mention few plain facts. am not speaking from financial stand point altogether, If 1 were, 1 think l would be too modest to make these as- sertions, but principally, for the interest take in the improvement of stock ill this vicinity. There are very few stallions in this state, as richly bred as the Wilkes stallion Fleet, and 1 think 1 can say, with out fear of contradiction, that there is none that possess so high a rate of natur- al speed, for | claim that horse able to show better than 20 clip, without re- ceiving any professional handling, is something phenomenal. And natural speed is all you can expect to look for in breeding, for no horse can breed you his record. That takes time and money to ascertain, and by that time you may find, to your sorrow, that your colt has no speed to develop. Fleet is not only possessed with great natural speed, but has proven for himself, the ability to transmit it to his get, for three out of his first five colts that were broken. at three years old showed from 3 06 to a 2.32 clip, and none of them out of standard mares, and none of them had any profes- sional handling, and one of these colts. last fall, owned by w. l.. Litchard, Riv- erhead, Long Island, showed quarters in B seconds, a 2.20 clip, which speaks well for their sire, and there is now no ques-
 tion about trotting bred pacers being
 great sires of speed. Now I would say
 to the farmers and breeders, please look this over in fair minded manner, and | think you will find it dollars in your poek, cts, where it is mills in mine. for my ii nancial interest in this matter is very small. With ever an eye to the best
 horse interest in this section of the coun | try, l remain, very truly yours, =, E | Taylor.
