THE NEWTOWN FAIR.

The Grange committee on the fair held it's first meeting on Tuesday afternoon at Grange hall to talk up plans, appoint sub committees, etc., but as there was not a quorum no official action could be taken, and those present adjourned to meet at Grange hall next Tuesday even- ing at o'clock sharp.
 It is proposed to hold the fair in much the same way as it was last year, in the Town hall, but under more favorable conditions, with more matured plans and better practical system.
 It is thought best to hold it two days and to keep the hall open each evening, to charge a moderate admission and of- fer cash premiums on certain productions within the town, to exhibit cattle one day and horses the other. to keep exact lists of all exhibits, to furnish refresh treatments and have music both day S and evenings.
 The committee will seek for the best in quality, and for greater variety of ex. hibits, but will be obliged to ask for small quantities of everything because ot the lack of room. We hope there will be many who will strive to excel in some. thing on purpose for the fair. Let athe young farmers, in particular, plant and water and tend with care and produce the best that can be grown. Let the fancy workers bring in original and new things both beautiful and useful.
 We want the best of everything which can be produced in Newtown, and we want to see on exhibition, the best good thing which the people have to use and enjoy, for the sake of the common good.
 Look in THE BEE from week to week for more on this subject Patron.

ON AND OFF THE STREET.

They are telling good story in which youth in the employ of John H. Blackman was the hero. A friend has, tily arrived at MT Blackman's house with the intelligence that valuable COW of Mr Blackman's had wandered from the lot where it was pastured. MT Blackman at once dispatched his faithful employe to find the COW. The COW was supposed to be east of the Street toward Walnut Tree Hill, but the youth jour- neyed west and finally brought up in Taunton district, near Charles Briseoe's. He saw COW in the lot, and going up to the house of MT Wixsom, he borro W ed rope, secured the animal and triumph antly started toward the Street. The day was warm, but after some tribula- tions, he arrived with his COW in the Street. MT Blackman did noI pretend to conceal his amusement, but ordel ed the youth to return the COW at once to Taunton, or MT Briscoe would have him arrested. A second employe sent after the COW found the animal peacefully grazing in the pasture lot where she be- longed.

DR L. H. COBB AT THE CONGREGATIONAL
 CHURCH.

Next Sunday morning, June 30, both at the morning and the evening service, pr l.. H. Cobb, secretary of the Congre- gational Church Building Society, will speak at the Congregational church. He will bring with him charts, which will each tell better than 8 volume of words could do the intensely interesting story of church building in the West. In the morning pr Cobb will speaA of the work of his society in general, and in the even ing he will take his audience on a trip with the aid of his charts through the territories of Arizona and New Mexico. These talks of Dr Cobb are no ordinary missionary addresses; they are the best lectures on Western life that could be given. Their pathos and tenderness, as they reveal the story of heroic struggles and fearful hardships endured that those in the East know nothing about. often bring tears to the eye. If a shrewd man of business wants to see how money can be we'll used, he should hear Dr Cobb tell how the money that is given to this society is turned over and over, a. clean $500,000 having been paid back by churches that were aided, and this paid back money going out again to build oth- CT churches and other parsonages. New town people are earnestly invited to both these services next Sunday.

Town Topics. THE SCHOOL PROBLEM"

My esteemed friend, aG. w. B." who is always suggestive and interesting. and often poetic in his writings for THE BEE, should not allow himself to indulge in any hateful feelings concerning ssconsoll- | dation." Hateful feelings are not good for the health. And as to the caution to Ego slow,"-if Newtown should go any | slower fear the rest tof the world would have to stop and wait for her. The only | indication of any progress toward 'scon- solidation" so far, is the improved con- dition of the highways which might make
 transportation" possible. It is hard to find any real argument with which to
 meet the logic of events.
 My friend goes back to the time when there was no need of consolidation" to prove that there is no need of it now. The 12 need just as good teaching as the 60 would, to be sure; but the excellent teacher who has spent her time and mon- ey to make suitable preparation for her
 work, wants more, and ought to have
 more than $6 25 per week for her ser
 vices; and will probably go elsewhere and get fair compensation, while her place
 will be filled by some one just out of the district school who has never learned
 what education means.
 To "pay little eXtra," say two or
 three times as much per capita, for school
 ing in Gray's Plain as in Sandy Hook is all right, perhaps, if the people of the
 town are willing, but that does not solve
 the problem. The teacher who teaches
 12 may have just as good brain power and just as much of it, and be just as apt to teach and equally as skillful as the teacher who teaches 60, and that does not
 solve the problem.
 Consolidation means more than economy in the use of money or the con-
 venience of few isolated families. It is
 really grand word, and am sorry that
 G. W. B. does not like it. The Century
 Dictionary defines it as: ''The process of becoming solid, firm, or stable; the act of forming into more firm or compact
 mass, body or system." The schools of
 this town need to be organized according
 to a system which will educate the chil- dred and prepare them for college or for l the practical work of the farm and shop. When the farms on Chestnut Tree Hill | are divided up and made to support five times their present population; when the Half Way River district numbers 60 scholars again and Gray's Plain has a | graded school; then the church shall be 1 set up again in Shiloh; the electric raii- | way will run from Stevenson, by c. W. l B.'s house to Sardy Hook, and there will
 be no need of "consoldation'' nor even
 of transportation; and the church
 problem will be solved with the school problem. But where will Brother Brad
 ley and be?-IO. O. Wright.

CHEAP GOODS!
 VS., CHEAP PRICES!

The above theme leads naturally up to question of quality as viewed from the dealers standpoint We are thoroughly in earnest in our insistanee on the importance of offering Only Re- liable Goods. It is our beliefthat no price is low enough to redeem an unserviceable or shoddy ar ticle from the maledictien which goes with it. Right here is where some furniture dealers make their mistake, in handling goods known to be of inferior quality simply because they can bay them a little cheaper than the better grade, and as these dealers argue, will sell just as well. Maybe they will sell just as well the first time, but if when taken home they do not give the ser vice expected, those goods will be constant stand ing advertisements against sellsrs. Everybody likes Cheap Prices," but nobody likes Cheap Goods" We don't have Cheap Goods" but our prices are Cheap Prices" We have just reesiv- ed good fresh line of Spring Samples ofCarpsts. -hoquettes, Body Brussels, Extra Super Tapestry Brussels with borders to match, c Extra Super l-2 wool, China and Japan Mating, Foreign and Domestic Rugs.

 our stock, examining goods, comparing prices
