Patchwork!

One of the most encouraging features
ola cure made by SIS. (Swift's Specifc)
is its permanency. OF all diseases, it is
well known that those of the blood are
the most obstinate, and therefore the
most difficult to cure. The medical
profession, in fact, have virtually adj
mitted that real, deepseated blood
disease is beyond their skill.
OF course, their admission Is not made
in so many words, but actions speak
louder than words, and their inability to
cure, after months and often years of
treatment, is sufficient evidence that dis
eases of the blood cannot be cured by
doctors. Their mercuria1 mixtures, al
though taken faithfully, only cover up
the symptoms of the disease, inducing
the patient to feel that he is being cured;
but when he is sooner or later seized
with stiff joints, pain in the bones, etc.
the evidence of the doctors patchwork
is conclusive. Such results cannot be ex-
pected from the use of S. S. S. Being
purely vegetable, containing no harm
full mineral ingredients, it 10 the only
blood remedy which acts on the true
principle of forcing the disease from
the system, building up rather than
tearing down the health. No loss OF
hair, no stiff joints, no decrepit mercu-
rial wrecks result from the use of S,S.S,

HELP THE GOOD CAUSE.

The principal of the Center district
school has hopes that if the public viii
help him to make success of an enter
tainment, which he will shortly an
nounce, he will be able to supply to the
school, free of all charge to the parents,
the, geography text books now so
grievously needed in three of the rooms.
Mr. Workings school library is an i'm
mense saving of expense to parents and
no one who is not aware of what he has
supplied and is supplying has any ade-
quate idea of the text book question.
Those who wish to be informed should
call at the school some afternoon at 4
o'clock and ask him to show them the
result of his wise policy. Such visit
would put an end to a great deal OF
misconception.

WILLIAM COTHREN.-SKETCH OF THE Az.
THOR OF THE HISTORY OF ANCIENT
WOODBURY.
| Connecticut has been very fortunate in
having so many excellent town histories
produced. Almost every town of any
size has had its historian, and their works
are extremely valuable additions to the
state archives. Several of these histories
are of considerable Importance, being
careful compilations of the civil and
ecclesiastical records of the town, while
| others are of little or no Importance.
Good authorities generally agree that the
"History of Ancient Woodbury." written
many years ago, is the best work of that
kind in existence. The author, William
Cothren, is an aged resident of that in
teresting town, and, although past the
age allotted to man, his intellect is as
clear and his ability as pronounced as in
former days. The history has made Mr.
Cothren famous, and he now has the
pleasure Of seeing his publication sold at
a high premium. The work is now very
scarce, and it is hoped that some enter
prising publisher will take up the task of
producing reprint.
His long life has been an eventful one,
and few minutes can be most agree
ably spent in reviewing it. William
Cothren was born in Pennington, Me-,
November %, 1919. He moved to the
town of Woodbury. in 1874 and now,
after more than 80 years of professional
activity, is still in full practise at the
Litchfield county bar. He is the son of
William and Hannah Cothren, and, on.
the paternal side, descendent Of the
Cochranes of Paisley, Scotland, being
great grandson of William Cochrane,
who came to America about 1856. He
settled at Falmouth, Mass, served one
year in the Revolutionary war, and was
drowned in 177S, in Falmouth harbor.
His son, David, Mr. Cothren's grand
father, moved from Falmouth to Far
mington, Me. He did not like the
Yankee pronunciation of his good old
Scotch name, SO he changed the spelling
to the present form, as borne by his de-
scendants. The Cothren ancestors, on
the maternal side ofIMr Cothren, were.de-
scendants Of Thomas Palmer of Rowley,
Mass, who were conspicuous as patriots
and defenders of the colonies of New
England during the early days of their
existence.
The records show that they were &C.

This association was organized June
%, 1891, with q members, and has at
present 70, including old and young and
from every part of the town. Several
times the association has assisted in
public enterprises, charitable and other
wise. Il is hoped that as it grows older
it will increase not only in membership,
but also In favor with the community IS
an organization the sole aim and object
of which is Identical with that which
is for the best interest of the town and
the townspeope.

Mr.. H. L. Myers, of 100 Mulberry street,
Newark, n. J., made the mistake of re-
lying upon remedies based upon mineral
ingredients, and for the hundreds of
dollars which he invested received only
disappointment in return. He says:
81 was afflicted with terrible blood
disease, which was in spots at first, but
afterwards spread all over my body.
These soon broke out into sores, and it
is easy to imagine the suffering en-
dured.
Before I became convinced that
the doctors could do no good I had
spent a hundred dollars, which was
really thrown away. then tried vari-
GUS patent medicines, but they did not
reach the disease. When I had finished
my first bottle of S.S.S., was greatly
improved and was delighted with the
result. The large red splotches on my
chest began to grow paler and smaller,
and before long disappeared entirely.

JEWELER PRATT's ATTRACTIVE STORE.
E. L. Pratt, the energetic and popular
jeweler of Litchfield, is once more locat-
ed in his rejuvenated store, after the
September fire, which threatened to de-
stroy the block. He has now without
doubt one of the most attractive stores
in Litchfield county, thanks to his own
good judgment, and to the capable men
he employed to do the work. The furni-
ture throughout is of the latest pattern,
being of cherry in mahogany finish.
The store is lighted by electricity, with
handsome opaque globe in the
center of the store, which floods the
room with light. The wall decorations
are superior, and were designed and put
on by that superior workman and artist,
W. G. Rosbach of Litchfield. The ceiling
is robins egg blue, with frieze to match.
The sitting, bordering the ceiling, is q
delicate blue to match. The side wall
frieze and side walls are covered with a
cartridge paper of blue tint. Alto
gether the effect is very pleasing, and
Mr. Pratt's patrons have congratulated
him on the result. He is ready, by the
way, for the Christmas trade, and says it
will pay anyone to make trip to Itch
field to select gifts for their friends. His
stock was never more complete, and a
little money will accomplish wonders.

LITCHFIELD.
THE BOROUGH AND VICINITY.

On Sunday evening Rev George <.
Rowe of Charleston, S. c., formerly of
Litchfield, preached an interesting ser
mon at the Congregational church. He
is engaged in missionary work among the
colored people, and says that in one part
of Charleston there are 5000 to 10000
colored people and not a church for them
to attend. Home missions would seem
to be needed as much as fo1eign missions,
if there are many such instances in our
country of this dearth of churches.
The young people of the Congrega-
tional church will meet on Wednesday
evening to form literary society. Meet
ings will be held once week and it is
expected that both pleasure and profit
will result. On the same evening the
Epworth League of the Methodist
church will hold "Beecher" sociable.
For the past week +. Nj. Sanford has
had men working on the foundation OF
his new store. He was informed by a
person in authority that a permit to
build was not necessary, although the
building is to be of wood and within the
fire limits. Yesterday, however, he was
advised to apply for permit and did so
Mr. Sanford was q much surprised mar
when he was given notice, Monday
night, that the burgesses had refused hi;
