Mrs. Nathan Harrison, mother of N.
Irving Harrison of Atwater street, en-
tertained her Sunday school class at
her home in North Branford Tuesday
afternoon. A correspondent, writing
of the affair, says:
zone of the pleasant events of the
week at North Branford was the Sun
day school class party of Tuesday at
ternoon at Sunny Crest, the home of
Mrs. Nathan Harrison. This class, be-
longing to the Sunday school of the
North Branford Congregational church,
has retained it's identity through years
counting far into the teens, through
changes, some glad, some sad and some
as bad as getting married. A few of
the members are living away, still the
class is unbroken and there is always
warm welcome for those who come
occasionally. The afternoon of the re-
union was passed in lively chat and
joke, in which the honored and esteem
ed class maid was not omitted; and
who parted the jokes with becoming
dignity. 1t is woe to that gallant who
will dare coax her to forego her pledge.
After tea the ladies presented to their
teacher a souvenir, the class picture, to
grace the walls of her home, fitting
memento of years of happy inter
course
The debt of the borough of Fair Ha-
ven East has been reduced between
$500 and $500 the past year, leaving a
present Indebtedness of about three
thousand dollars.
II guess the taxpayers of the borough
will not be in any hurry to pay off the
balance OF our DEBT, remarked one OF
that number yesterday. TT is proba-
BILE that an attempt will be made in
two or three years to have the borough
enjoy all the advantages of belonging
to the city-fire and police. In that
case we shall want the city to take us
with our debt, assuming its payment
Perhaps the city would not like that
They now pay our borough election ex-
penses, which are about $26 for each
election, and it comes rather grudging-

Up to last evening nothing had beer
learned of the missing men, Mckenzie
and Connors of the annex, who left the
Qunnipiac river in an open boat last
Friday; neither has the boat beer
found. Relatives of the young mer
cannot account for their disappearance
only on the ground that they have beer
lost on the sound. Some advance the
belief that the young men may have
gone away for the purpose of enlist
ing.
