 with which to pay for his lodging. His host, victim of several such games in

WHERE IS THE HALL?


 On Saturday evening of this week will be given at the Village church here, one of the best entertainments, we have been informed, which has ever been enjoyed here. Aleck Black of Brooklyn, N. r., who has been in former years summer visitor in Marbledale, will come and by the aid of his stereoptieon produce on canvass his illustrated love story Miss Jerry" which has been exhibited before large audiences previously both in city and country and has received from the press many most flattering testimonials of praise and appreciation. We hope a large audience will greet him here. What pity we have no convenient hall How long has the church to remain the only available place in this village and near so noted resort, as all want Lake Waramaug to be for summer visitors, in which to give public entertainment of any kind? We say it is shame. It is well to talk about big hotel here which would accommodate 400 guests. The trolley would be nice thing to see run ming from New Milford, but do the peo- pie of New Preston expect all these things will roll in upon them when there isn't enterprise enough in the people of this place to even put up small village hall in which occasionally to entertain few of the longed for visitors as we'll az to give the natives a place to enjoy them selves and hold meetings of various kinds without intruding in edifices and places set apart distinct for other pnrposes? A caucus of either political party cannot now be held here except to intrude into some mans place of business. We say it is a shame on the citizens of this vicin- ity, when it might be different, to let this matter rest for an uncertain time and keep on talking about what ought to be here in the shape of railroads. hotels, etc. Now is good time, we believe, on the part of some, perhaps the poorest finan- cially, but, nevertheless, an acceptable time, to agitate this matter again. En- tainments frequent would be here, if there was place to be entertained. All helps to keep us the greater portion of the year from mental stagnation and in- action and although some may think it takes out all it brings in, we think differ ently and trade would not be so extreme dull and money so short as it was here last winter. We must all help to make 1t different, if we would have it so.
