ceased had spent part of nearly every
summer, since going to New York, in
visiting his kinsfolk and friends here,
hoping to recruit his health which was
then declining. The arrangements for
the funeral are not yet completed.

be amused more than interested, they
want light, pretty, catchy music to

ing to let the old folks rave about what
is called the legitimate drama. The
Gay Debutante" is full or light

of scenery, costumes and mounting.

A Frost That Looked Like Snow Says
Winter is Here.
Yesterdays Stamford Republican
says: 1.-THE thermometer dropped below
the thirty degree point this morning
and there was an exceptionally heavy
frost, frost that looked like snow and
killed everything in its way Few flow-
ers remained from the killing frosts of
a few weeks ago, among them the har-
DIV chrysanthemums and their golden
and silver chalices are dropping and
dead to-day. The thermometer marked
20 degrees in some places and % at
Leeds corner store at Z o'clock this
morning. This is winter weather in
earnest This is to be expected at this
season of the year, however, and no
exception can be taken to it.
1t will be remembered that last
THANKSGIVING week there was a heavy
snow preventing the opening of the
churches the following Sunday, the
drifts from the fall preventing any one
from getting out. May as well come
up to it and recognize the fact that the
long winter has come and that there
will be any amount of cold, freezing
weather before the roses bush again"
