SOCIAL AFFAIRS.

There doesn't seem to be anything
very stirring to report this week. There
rather prevails that calm which is said
to presage some mighty action OF COM
bined forces. A theory to this effect is
supported by the fact that the, Village
Improvement Society intends to have a
grand gathering of the clans on Deem
Der 81 at Ford's! hall. Primary object,
to wreak gastronomic destruction on a
first class oyster supper. Secondary. to
dance out the old year and welcome the
new with the music of flying feet.
In view of rapidly nearing Christmas,
an astonishingly large attendance Is re-
ported at the Sunday school.
Miss Boardman will soon visit in Brook
lyn.
The Village improvement Society has
put up five new street lamps, and five
more are to follow. The feeble arc
lights of our little neighboring villages
such as New Haven and Bridgeport, twill
soon pale before our wholesale illumina
| ton.
The next progressive eucher party
will be held on Monday, December 6

c. C. Redgrave gave an interesting Illus
trated lecture in the Town hall, under
the auspices of the Center district school
He had for his subject "Wee Folks CT
Many Lands" and from the looks of the
audience it seemed as if he had fair
proportion of ''wee folks" from Water
town as the hall was we'll filled, the
greater number of those present being
children. This entertainment was got
ten up by Mr. Working, principal, who
will use the money Melted from it to buy
books necessarily needed at school and
also to furnish books to those children
whose parents find the buying of books
a considerable drain on their shrunken
resources. Mr. Working expects to give
a number of these entertainments during
the winter, all of which will no doubt be
as successful as the first.

THE GROWING SAVINGS BANK.

One thing about Watertown people is
worthy of praise, and that is as q rule
they take loyal interest in home insti-
buttons. This holds true in regard to
the Watertown Savings bank, which was
launched ON its career in 1894. For a
long time the matter had been talked of,
but nothing was done. But when B. 81.

On October l, 1897, the deposits footed
up total of SHOALS 30. The numbe
of depositors was 633; the number o.
new accounts being 145. The amour
paid in dividends was 1854 81, the pc

| ACTIVITY IN BUILDING LINKS.
That Watertown is enjoying healthy
growth can be seen by taking walk
about the village. In the history Of the
town it is doubtful If there ever were
more buildings in course of erection at
one time than there are to day. A rep
resentative of THE BEE met that ener-
getic and popular builder, George 81.
Scott, the other day. Just now he is
putting up house at Westbury Park, on
the land being opened by the Messrs At
wood and B. Fl. Nation. Mr. Scott says
he has had busy season, keeping from
five to IL men busy all the time. He has
built over the house of Harry Heminway
and completed new houses for Miss
Hotchkiss, Charles Baldwin and Charles
w. Atwood. He has other work in view
and anticipates the coming summer will
be busy one for carpenters. Another
energetic and hustling builder approach
ed, j. E. Griffin, was also extremely
busy, but expected soon to stop for the
winter. Mr. Griffin, as has already been
stated, rather surprised himself by slid
ing off the roof of barn and cracking q
couple Of ribs. This did not seem to
trouble him great deal, for in few
days he was about again overseeing his
contracts. His work at the present time
consists of barn for Ravens Heminway
a tenement house for Mr. Gale at Oak
vile, double tenement for the Cunning
sisters, and a house for the Whitney
brothers. Mr. Griffin is also pleased at
the outlook for next year. Other houses
in course of erection in the village in
clude house on Scott avenue for John
Kielty, a tenement house for Buel Hem.
inway 26x27, one for Edward Bronson
on which Fitch Brothers are doing the
mason work, and the fine cottage of
Paul Klimpke. Contractor Scott will
also build for Ernest Wight house
44x30. The outlook, it will be seen, is
Aattering for Watertown's growth. The
Consolidated is now giving fine service
between Watertown and Waterbury and
the fare has been reduced. The town is
healthy, and more and more people are
coming here from the city to live. Mark
this prophecy.

A LIVELY REAL ESTATE BOOM.

Considerable interest is being manifest
in the real estate which has been put on
the market by the Messrs Atwood and
B. q. Nation. 1t Is called "Westbury
Park" and the big sign board they have
erected shows off in fine shape from the
trains. Already one house is in course
of erection and several lots have been
sold. There are over 300 lots in the
tract. One street has been opened run
ming north and south, and others will be
put through parallel with this as the
property is developed. The nearness of
the property to the railroad depot, and
the fact the property is in the hands of
gentlemen the public have confidence in,
is guarantee that the project will be
successful.

THE GRANGE SINGING SCHOOL.

The annual Grange singing school
commenced, last Friday evening. Owing
to conditions of the weather there was
not as many present as was expected
but doubtless this week will bring in the
stragglers to the number of not less than
so. Prof A. W. Skilton, as usual, is the
teacher. The fee Is only a small one
and the opportunity to get instruction In
the art of music Is good one. In past
years there was only one class which in
cluded beginners and those who had al
ready made some progress. This sea-
SON there will be two classes; one COM
mencing az O'Clock and continuing nm.
til 20. This class will be for beginners
only. At $50 class of more advanced
pupils will be taken and continued until
10 o'clock At this class a much more
difficult grade of music will be used Il
is TO be hoped that the singing achoo
will attain the same measure OF success
