Der 1st, and will continue only thirty days.

the Game Association, and detectives in

of last winter, was so disastrous to rabbits
and birds, that for the protection of the
game in the state this measure was adopted.
Some modern traducer Of the fair sex
has said that the reason Eve yielded to the
serpent on that memorable day when
fashions were introduced, was because he
told her apples were good for ths complex
ion. Whether that be true or not, it is
true that ripe, raw apple stimulates the
liver; and the more fruit We have in our
dietary the clearer our skin and the clearer
our brains will be. Apple eating is therefore
popular and wholesome diversion among
brainy and beautiful people.
MIR. Paul Weber, who has had twenty
years experience in the bakery business
has bought ott the Smith Brothers who
recently came here from Newark. He is
occupying the old Richards bakery on
East Main street, where he worked two
years with Mr.. Richards. If the people of
Middletown enjoy the good things from
Mr.. Weber's bakery as much as the TRAN
SCRIPT force did the plate of hot dough-
nuts which came with his compliments on
Thursday, then he will be very busy
man.
The Langdon Dramatic Company, which
has been at the Opera House all this week
has played to the entire satisfaction of
theatre goers. Part of the time .heir
houses have been good and at other times
their efforts merited larger audience, the
popularity of the play having something
to do with the attendance. There has
been nightly change of bill. At the matt
nee this afternoon the company presents
"a Woman's Revenge or Shadows of a
Great City," and tonight "Old Rip Van
Wrinkle" will be played. They go to
Smyrna from here.
Several important events are expected
to transpire the first week in November.
Now don't get nervous, the TRANSCRIPT
never anticipates announcements. The
election comes off the first week in Novem-
Der and it is an important event, but it is
not the event i'll mind. And by the way
this event does not transpire the first week
in November, though others just as inpor-
tant to some people may, yet it is so near
to it that days or tOo days difference
does not matter. The event in mind is
billed for Friday, November Sth, and to it
are invited all the citizens of Middletown.
No one can be sighted who will invest %
o nd thoco W bo not oitizpnc
of Middletown but will invest their money
will be Just as welcome. The place is the
Middletown Opera House, and the enter
| tainment is to be an evening with Prof and
| Mrs. DeKeller Stamey whose recommen-
dations as entertainers are A NO. 1. Make
| up your mind to attend.
What is sweeter to the taste, more in
viting to the eye, and more wholesome to
the inner man than fine grapes? Nothing.
| Who grows finer ones than Middletown's
obliging Postmaster? No one. Who has
sampled those delicious grapes, sampled
them for whole day of twenty-four hours
| and then had some left to begin sampling
| the next day? The writer. To what can

To nothing short of the oldtime combina
ton of corn husking or wood chopping
and quilting bee, the memory of which
will brighten the eye to this day of the
good old grandmother and lessen the rheu-
matism Of the occupant of the old arm
chair in the corner rs they recall those
happy days and their innocent sports.
How can samples be procured? That is
leading question and should be paid for at
regular advertising rates: Receive an inyi-
tation to dine with your pastor and his
good lady, sample the grapes there and pay
them an honest compliment as being fine
city" grapes, repeat your mistake in the
presence of the lady who presides at the
Postmaster's table, and tell how perfectly
natural it was to think such grapes are not
grown here. and--well, return your
thanks and the dish, do not forget the dish
