We are informed that our late
Circuit court cost the county nearly
$4,000. This is entirely too much
money for the amount of good ac-
complished, and, while we are not,
and do not wish TO appear, pessl-.
mistic, we cannot refrain from ex-
pressing the opinion, based upon a
consideration of all the facts before
US, that much time was frittered
away. All sorts of technicallties
are imposed upon the court to gain
time, and thus it drags along. We
do not require a three weeks ses-

prosecuted it could be done in q
week-ten days at the outside.
We do not know that there i. a
remedy, except it be that the legis-
lature shorten the term, and the
judge himself adopt such rigid
rules, and enforce them, that those
having business in court will be
made to know and feel that it is
paid for by the people, and must
be strictly pushing, or taken else

A month ago it looked like the
prosperity wave had reached this
country. Every body seemed
busy, lots and car loads of merchan-
disc arrived over tho railroads,
the people generally were cheer
full. How is it now? Cotton has
been damaged by the long-contin-
ued drought; the crop hereabouts
is undoubtedly short, and the price
almost less than cost of production.
With these conditions very little
money is in circulation, and we
are forced TO admit, though the
wish is that it were otherwise,
that the outlook Is gloomy.

The TIMES is an up to-date
county paper. 1t covers the whole
field of news, and in politics, is
thoroughly democratic. 1t has
stood by the party in the most try
ing times. and fought hard but
victorious battle. 1t is live
home paper, and never ceases TO
urge such reforms as in its judg-
mept will best serve the interests
OF majority OF the citizens. 1t
has good circulation. Its sub
scription list is bona fide. and those
who receive it, with comparatively
few exceptions, pay for it, thus de-
monstrating the high regard they
have for paper, which, though it
may not always be right, Is with
out prejudice, and sincere in its
expression. Its pages are read all
over, advertisements and all, and
advertisers pay for the space &C.
cupied. We do not carry adver-
tisements lust to fill up with, "
nor to make a show of patronage
which is not justified by the facts.
The advertisements OF our patrons
are not brought INTO competition
with dead ads. We do not force
merchants to give us an advertise
ment or job printing in order that
they may "get even" or collect
what we owe them. We are glad
to have and do a reciprocal trade,
but we have managed so far to pay
our debts, dollar for dollar, within
a reasonable time. There IS no
reason why newspaper should
not or cannot be conducted upon
business principles. Upon these
facts, THE TINES relies, and solicits
the patronage of the people. 1t is
proud TO say that under these con-
ditions it has so far been reason
ably we'll patronized.

The Newtown bee., 1897-03-26

A good story has leaked out in which
 our chief public official, Mayor Hubbell,
 and genial and well-liked undertaken,
 played 8 prominent part. As is well
 known "Aunt Martha Edwards" a col
 ored lady 70 years or more, lives with her
 husband in a small cottage in Sugar
 street. They are assisted in their ad-
 vanced years in supplying the necessar-
 ies of life by the town, and this is how
 our highly esteemed mayor came to be a
 leading figure in the drama. Aunt Mar.
 tha," It seems, is subject to poor spells
 and on a recent morning was taken with one and fell in a swoon on the floor. Miss
 Peck, & neighbours daughter, went over to the house to see if she could help the old lady, and found her prostrate upon the floor and apparently in a sinking con- ditiou. Her brother, a young man of Is or l9, hitched up his horse and drove to the Street to notify the doctor that she was very sick. His imagination must have got the better of him, and by the time he reached the depot he had 'tAunt Martha" dead, and so notified MT Hub bell. Prompt to do his duty he hitched up his trotter and started to find Mir Nor ris, to attend to the necessary duties be- fore burial. Seizing his satchel, contain ing the instruments used in the undertak- ing profession, he joined the mayor and they started for Sugar street. Mean while Dr Judson had visited the old lady and after administering restoratives re- turned to the Street by the upper road. The mayor and undertaken went by the lower road and so did not pass. Arriving at the house, MT Morris seized bis satchel and started nimbly up the walk, when he was accosted by Neighbor Peck, the fath- CT of the young man who had spread the alarm. He informed them that the old lady was very much alive, and Mir Nor. ris glanced through the window he saw her enjoying a cup of tea. He quickly returned to the carriage and the town of ficial and the undertaken started for home, dolng some heavy thinking on the l way. Meanwhile the young man respon- sible for the amusing situation has been rcciting that well known maxim, "Be 1 sure you are right, then go ahead"

It must be the practical experience that's to be your best teacher in all things. Now if Brother Wright can go into the details of scientific farming, for one who am ever ready to learn anything that will be of profit to me either intellectually or financially. I should be pleased to hear from him. Who knows but that we the people of Newtown are on the eve of new era. Things are pointing tfat way in many respects, but the end of many things is not yet.

THE SCIENTIFIC FARMING QUESTION.
H. W. WRIGHT ASKS A FEW QUESTIONS OF
 REV o. O. WRIGHT.

MIR EDITOR:-As 8 reader of THE BEE and farmer I would like to ask Rev o O. Wright what he calls "Scien- tific Farming?" I am as yet a young man. Farming is my occupation and likely to be for aught that I know of in the future. I was born in a town in this state that has been called the garden of New England and have seen the sum of $700 and $500 taken from one acre of ground from the raising of farm pro- duce, a good sum of money some will say, and yet the management of that farm was not on a scientific plan; far from it. Still the owner made money. have small farm which if near good market, could make a bonanza farm out of and realize handsome profit. As it IS now I am 10 miles from the nearest city and that not very good market l3 and 16 miles to the nearest other two cities. Now the markets for what we here in Newtown raise on our farms as to distance is far from a scientific basis. We can not all own farms near the city so as to have near market for our farm few farmers here in Newtown as in any other town in like position can attain 8 scientific point of view and make money. 1 have often been asked this question "What is a man to do who is poor and has poor farm? What can he do to make even piving?" We'll the position is worth great deal of time, experience and study for any one to give an answer to that man that would be safe for him to follow. If I dared to offer advice to the above it would be this: If he has good health and habits, is industrious and is possessed of tair share of good common sense, he has chance to i'm. prove his farm and his fortune. One thing is requisite and that is faith. Ii this is weak it must be strengthened by exercise. Work hard but do not be S drudge. A few hours labor will accom- plish great deal and encourage one te continued effort. Be prompt, systema l tic, and here I'd drive a big nail, go tt
 bed early as you can. Get up when yol
 wake, but take sleep enough. A mal
 better be home abed than at the taverl
 or grocery telling stories. I mean thi as rule. There are exceptions in al
 cases. Keep up with the times, rea'
 and study papers and books devoted | your occupation. But don't rely O
 these altogether. Agriculture is an ar land must be followed as such. scienc
 will help and help you wonderfully. Bu

Improving at New
Orleans.
One of the Two Victims of a
Day Is Sister Sylvester of
ST. JoSeph'S Asylum.
There Has Been Some Frost, and
With Cooler Weather the Disease
VIII Be Stamped Out.
Special Dispatch TO THE CALL

NEW ORLEANS, LA, Oct. 21.-The
fever situation improved to some extent
here to-day. Where yesterday there had
been some thirty cases by 1 o'clock, at
o'clock there were only thirty, and at s
O'Clock tonight the number was forty
three. Yesterday afternoons record was
six deaths. TODAY at mig tall there had
been but two fatalities reported 10 the
Board of Health.
Among The deaths Is that OF Sister Syl-
vester of st. Joseph's Orphan Asylum.
She was reported 10 the Board of Health
yesterday and the best of attendance
given to her, but she seemed to have con-
tracted very bad case of yellow fever,
com Dlicated with other distresses, and
there was little chance of saving her life
after her case had been brought to the at
tention of the board.
The weather this morning was cool, and
reports below New Orleans are to the eff
feet that there was light frost last night.
Colonel l. D. Ellis of Governor Eos er' s
staf said to representative of the Asso-
claiPd Press this evening that he received
advices that there had been frost in ST..

the city last night The deposit, however,
was slight, and possibly not sufficient 10
stamp out the disease here. 1t is poss be,
however, that the fever cases here this
evening are a result traceabe to the
change i'll the temperature. II does not
now seem az all likely that the lever will
continue here for any length of time.
Business is greatly depressed, but il is
confidently beiIeved that with the ap-
proach OF cold weather the fever will die
ut and New Orleans recover some of the
trade she has lost through the fright of
the past few weeks.

Stale militia, representative United States
Government officials and representatives.
OF foreign countries, Mayors OF New Eng

officers OF the North Atlantic Squadron.
Governor Wolcott acted as presiding
officer and delivered the opening address,
referring in euIogistic terms to the vessel
in honor of which the anniversary was
held, and the patriotism which marked
her story.
Governor Wolcott introduced Theodore
Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the Ma
w, who spoke in part as follows:
The moment of the Constitution S
launching was the beginning of our navy
as We know it to-day. It was fifteen years
after the launching of the Constitution
and her sister ships before that proud flag
which was menaced was hum bleG, and
during that fifteen years there were many
people VINO objected to the maintaining OF
a navy.
1t was because we had the Constitution
and her sister ships that we came out of
the war with credit, and it is due to a pol
icy contrary 10 that which prom pied the
introd uction of such vessels that in recent
years brought Us to danger of the gravest
national dishonor."
At this point Major William H Garland
Of Boston, who was a powder boy on board
the Constitution in her famous battle with
the Guerrero, was presented to the audi
ence, and Governor Wolcott himself lea
in thee cheers for the veteran.

a short address. Professor ]. w. Church

Holmes poem, 80 d Ironsides."
Major Garland addressed the audience
briefly, and the historic address of the
day was delivered by Senator Henry Ca
bot Lodge. Senator Lodge, after dwelling
al some length on the history and VIC
tories OF the glorious Old ship, spoke par.
t.culary of the way in which our small
bul well equipped navy of that day more
than retrieved on the water the reverses
which a tardy administration and a halt
