 sun set at 4:48. On next Sunday it will
 set at 4:55, which is seven minutes later
 in the day.
 There is no one here who need go
 about with scanty clothing. There is
 plenty of clothing made, which may be l bought at a fair price and there is cloth
 of good quality, which can be put into
 clothes at price to suit. Boots and
 shoes are also at a fair price and the
 breadstuffs and coal and wood and all
 like it.
 The half-truths which we all tell
 each other do us some good, but as time goes on all of us will learn a
 truer language. The men who are as
 near to that language now as any are
 the men who work at the pleasant
 business of winning daily bread by
 making newspapers. This is a field into which large number of young women are welcome to enter and make their influence welcome to all. Girls get some paper and get it into copy. The press is hungry for it if it is good.
 The fog hung down around our beau tiful Main street about all the fore noon Monday and we all hoped that after a while it would make way for the sun and clear off away from us and get itself where all the other fogs have gone to-
 Next Sunday will be the anniversary of the day on which the London Times was first published. It was back in 17S5 that its first paper was printed
 On flat car here on Sunday there was one single piece of merchandise which was like large limb of a big tree. It was twenty-seven feet long and nine inches in diameter. One end was full size and the other tapered The end with full size, had a three- quarter inch hole in it three inches deep in the center and with a cut thread in it ready for a bolt to be screwed into it. This piece of work was of iron and was in shape like the bow of bow and arrow. It took nice workmanship to make it and to trans- port it on the car it took some care | It was blocked and bound down with | three-eighths inch galvanized wire.
 Three men at the rolling mill showed | no surprise Monday morning early | when there was no break in the crustedt | snow which covers the roof of the mill over their heads. When this snow ] is heated when the mill has been work ing for a few hours the snow-ice breaks in large cakes and slides down the roof and a man has to get out the way on a run if he doesn't want to get hurt.
 In Plantsville the past five years has seen changes which make our center look better, but we must make some more improvements. There is a good site between the Cowles building and the drug store east for a brick block in which great deal of our business could be carried on. This building should be four stories high and have offices, stores and a good large public hall. We need it. Let us think it over and talk to builders about it. One whole floor could be given up to manu- featuring some light article of use or for ornament.
 There is no one in our town who would say a word against it if an op- portunity were given the men of small means to put their money into some business which would bring them back a fair sum of money for the use of their own savings. If someone will lend in the regular channel of busi- ness and help out men who have little to invest, a work can be carried on here which will pay and will put us far in advance in the column of workers
