HAT TRADE TAKES BOOM.
The retail hat trade took boom. Last
Saturday night large sales of hats were
made. On Monday orders for hats came
In with q rush. No doubt hatters will be
busy the next six weeks. The cool
weather will give boom to the clothing
trade and probably to the ceal trade.
O. HI Hubbard is overseeing job
down on one OF the. East swamp meadows
where q new ditch has been cut to
straighten Clark's brook and improve the
drainage Of the low land. The parties
have purchased small strip Of land Of
Mr. and Mrs Henry Patchen to shorten
the lay out Of the ditch. Martin Smith
has done the work and it's one Of the
most perfect jobs done in East Swamp
for many a year. The canal is six feet
wide and perhaps so rods long, with q
gradual descent. The width Of the canal
is a perfect level over which the water
flows in a smooth current which would
doat boat the entire length. Martin
has the ability to make the great Mica
ragus canal q success.

20 that farmers started blowing on Mon.
day.
K. G. Huse and r. J. Signor, auditors
OF town accounts, met on Monday even
ing and made some progress pertaining
to the duties OF the Office. They will
continue the work every evening until
the books are thoroughly overhauled,
correcting mistakes, putting the accounts
in shape for the printer. The town cleo.
ton will occur this fall on Monday, the
arst day of October. The preliminary
meetings will be held some evening next
week. Candidates for representatives
have been named by both parties.
The license question will probably be
voted on at the coming election. II the
question could be settled by women's
votes, no doubt the votes would be No.
As it ia the ladies Of the town will be on
hand to see that husbands, sons and
friends Of good order vote No. But still
there may be contrary men enough left
o carry the town for license. The tax
payers will have good argument to ad-
tvance this year on the town poor expense
which is a large per cent increase over
last year when the town went license.
At the Congregational church, last
Sunday evening Mr. Slack shortened the
services on account of tho threatened
shower. As it was the people were
caught in the rain and had to wait for the
shower to pass. Some one suggested
that Mr. Slack 60 back into the pulpit
and finish up bis sermon. The company
resolved themselves into sociable which
made the delay pass pleasantly.

Editorial Ink Drops.

It ID an outrage for reputable daily
newspaper to send out an exaggerated
and untruthful article concerning the A.
fairs of the Newtown Savings bank Cor
any other like instltution), as appeared
in an issue of . few days ago. The
Newtown Savings bank has had no run,
nor ia 1t likely to have one, and If 1t did,
1t ID in ample position to pay It's deposi-
tors. There has also been no meeting OF
the Bank directors a. stated by the
Bridgeport papers. The bank has also
not required q three months notice OF
its depositors. For journals Of the stand
ing of the ones in question to publish such
articles a. they did, in this day OF tele-
phones and quick communication, when
the managing editors could have COM
municsted with the NewtoWn treasurer,
had they desired, shows . recklessnees
that ID surprising. It 10 very evident
they were badly imposed upon, and
when they come to know the real facts
We shall be surprised If they do not do
all in their power to make reparation.
But the worst of it 10 a lie of this nature
ID hard to nail, and 1t is often enlarged
upon with each and every publication.

quest lido proclaim the said 29th day
