"Women never lose things; they throw them in good place, and can't recall the place." .. We are indebted to Mrs. s. W. Clarke for red raspberries, sweet and fragrant as in July.

 Helen Nichols has been visiting her aunt, Miss Maggie Pease, in Ellington. This is the first time this 6-years- young lady has spent night away from her parents. @

 Il don't know what record of sin there may be against me in another world, but this 1 know, that I was never mean enough to despise a man because he was poor, nor because he was ignorant, noI because he was black. .'-Gov. ANDREWS.
 Mrs. Willard Shaw and Miss Emily Barrett of Whitman, Mass, have been visiting Mrs. w. D. Ruby, taking in the fair. By the way, Mrs. Ruby's oleander tree, with it's wealth of bloom, that was on exhibition there, Is fine a specimen as one often sees.
 The Christian part of the people of tbe United States, including quite number of folks who are fairly intelligent, we'll. to-do and unselfish, are not so much struggling with the problem of what the Phillipinos shall welr as they are inter ested in their moral and spiritual eleva- tion.
 We all hereabouts ought to be proud oi our Stafford Springs fair, performances and all. One of our own personal per formances was the finding of ladies' watch in the grass in the midway Thursday forenoon, and we are proud to know that the finding being announced from the judges stand the article was re- stored to it's owner.
 How about new departure at the "big fair" in the way of a grange day?" For one thing, it would be interesting to know how many members of this quite respect able farmers order here in Eastern Conn would be present, with their badges, on the grounds. Again, we are of the opin- ion that a diversity of stage entertain. ments could be acceptably provided by the P. of H., music, pantomime and Itableaux, so that the assembled multi tude can SEE and understand what is go ling on, if they can't hear. Printed an lnouncements of the different living scenes would be more comprehensive than the crieI s voice, which is often overpowereG by the winds.
