BEAUTIFUL CERYsANTHEl

The annual exhibition of Chrysanthe-
NUNS and cut flowers by the Fairfield
Horticultural society was held in the
Town Hall on Wednesday and Thursday
of this week. The exhibition was not
quite the equal of last year's-yet it was
beautiful sight. The pleasure of the
exhibit was greatly enhanced by the
4Eolian concert each day given by Stein
| ert of Bridgeport. The delightful music
of this instrument attracted much atten-
| ton and its adapta bility to gatherings of
this nature was we'll shown. Steinert
| also furnishes one of these Eolians for
| the chrysanthemum show at the second
| regiment armory in New Haven.
Rev DR. Frank Russell of the South
church in Bridgeport preached at the
| Congregational church on Sunday even
ing in exchange with the pastor. A
| beautiful duet was sung by Mrs Whiting
and Mr. Hawley. A large congregation
was present.
| Increased mail facilities are the result
of the change in administration at the To-
cal postoffice. Patrons can secure their
mail on Sundays now.
| Town Clerk Banks is back again from
bis trip to Kentucky and has resumed his
duties.
Mayor William H. Smith was presented
with a son and heir, last week.
| Operations on the new road over o.
born hill have ceased for the present.
Mr. Jennings has decided not to put on
the stone until spring so as to allow the
| grading to settle firmly first. The stone
watertower has reached the full height
of the masonry, 80 feet, and will now be
topped by wooden structure 25 feet
higher. Its commanding height would
make it capital place for strong cleo
trio arc light that would light the whole
town.
Painters are frightening up the house
of Burr Perry's opposite the Mill Plain
| school.
E. w. S. Pickett is now running the
Chapman hot houses and will furnish
