GETTING READY FOR THE THIEV

GETTING READY FOR THE THIEVES.
 Water, notwithsta nding the showers of last week, is still scarce article, the streams and wells being very low. After the dry summer which we have had, to the detriment of all our crops, the farmers here have another loss to contend with. Thieves are entering their potatoe fields at night and digging their potatoes. One man found where they had entered his field from the rear of the field and to all appearance crawled on their hands and knees from hill to hill and dug round the tops with their hands and then replaced the dirt and left the hill just as they found it, only they did not cover their finger marks. Some are looking up their old muskets and threaten to remain in their fields all night if this stealing does not stop.
 HUNTINGTON MAY YET BE LIVELY.
 Now that the road to Shelton is com pleted where are those that want the mail changed? If a stage was run to Shelton instead of to Bridgeport as we n ow have, it would open up a quick c communication with New Haven, as D eople could reach there by train in nearly one half the time it takes to go to Bridgeport.

MATTERS OF BUSINESS.
DARAGAN's HONEST BARGAINS.


 It's an established fact, and becoming more widely known throughout this sec tion that John M. Daragan, the shoe dealer, 416 Main street, Bridgeport, is giving the greatest inducements in reli- able boots, shoes, slippers and rubber goods to be found in western Connecti- cut. He is particularly strong in misses, boys and children's school shoes, this season, and his store will be found an es- pecial good one to make selections in this line as his stock comprises the pro duct of the leading shoe manufacturers ot the East ard his prices on the same are astonishingly low. We respectfully call the attention of our readers to Mir Daragan's announcement on page seven, and would impress upon the minds of the local reader that this house never aI- lows misrepresentations and cheerfully refunds the money when purchases are not satisfactory.

The most important feature about
that very common complaint, catarrh
in the head, is its tendency to develop
into some other more serious and dan
gerous disease. The foul matter dropp.
ing from the head into the bronchial
tubes or lungs is very liable to lead to
bronchitis or consumption, that de-
stroyer which causes more deaths in
this country than any other disease.
As casarrh originates In impurities in
the blood, local applications can do but
little good. The common sense method
OF treatment is 10 purify the blood, and
Tor this purpose there is no preparation
superior to Hoods Sarsaparilla. The
powerful action of this medicine upon
the blood expels every impurity, and by
so doing cures catarrh aud gives health
to the entire organism.
