Mir Staples was born on Greenfield Hill, January 3l, 1902. He received only common school education, but taught school for several years. In 1927 he start ed the lumber business in Westport, which was then called Norwalk. In 1853 he was chosen president of the Westport national bank, and was in active service in this position up to the time of his death. In 1884 MT Staples founded the high school in Westport which bears his name, and the celebration of Founders day, in honor of his birthday has been one of the events of the year in Westport. He took keen delight in the prosperity of this excellent institution.
 MT Staples was man of most regular habits. He always went to bed at dark and was an early riser. He never used tobacco or spirituous liquors. MT Staples first vote for president was cast in 1924, and he voted as Whig continuously un- til the party went down in 1856.
 He was one of those who, in 1885, pe- titioned the General Assembly for an act incorporating Westport, then known as Saugatuck, as a town, the same being formed of the western portion of Fair field and the eastern portion of the town of Norwalk, divided at the center by the Saugatuck river, and it was very much through his influence as an active mer chant here, employing sailing vessels, that, about the year 1880, an appropria- tion was secured from Congress to build 8 canal through Great Marsh at the en- trance of the harbor, whereby the dis tance between Westport and New York was shortened. He never sought for nor cared to hold public office, though emil nently qualified for any in the gift of the town.
 A few weeks ago it was the editors privilege to dine with MT Staples, and to him he stated that he was enjoying good health. On that morning, although stormy, he had been to the bank, and he expected to go again in the afternoon. He narrated many interesting stories of his early life, and seemed in the best of health and spirits. He was ill only week previous to his death.
 The funeral was very largely attended on Tuesday afternoon from the Congre- gational church.

THE BLIND ENTERTAIN.

Thursday evening, March 4, the blind people from the Industrial home at Hartford gave an excellent concert in the Town hall. They drew as was ex- pected, full house, there being about 400 people in the halfas everyone wanted to do something to help them. The con. cert was worth more than the price of admission, there being several artists whose talents are away above the av- craze. Notably, MT Miles, the pianist, who has taken honors at the conserva- tory of music in Boston. The manner of filling orders at their store in Hart ford, as illustrated by Miss Hinman, was one of the most interesting features of the entertainment. It is hoped that they will again favor us with another concert.

MAN WHO MAKES A SUCCESS WITH
 POULTRY.
 To breed and raise fancy poultry is an undertaking tried by many but is successful in only few cases. R. N. Deland is one Of those who make a sue cess of it. During the past two months he has sold about 30 birds, all of them bringing fancy prices. They were all, or nearly all, prize fowls, weighing on an average of II pounds each. MT De- land takes special pains to get the best stock, and not only that, but he takes special pains in the care of them. This is why he makes a success of it. To raise good poultry one must not be spar ing in the quality of his stock or in the amount of pains he takes in carrying for them.
