Mike Murphy, the Yale trainer. said the other day that the wet field handi- capped his eleven in the game with Columbia. According to football tra- ditions. heavy elavens always have been effective on such turf, while light teams have been the ones to suffer. As Yale averaged at least twenty pounds per man ~heayier than Colum- hia. the question naturally arises. What would have happened if the field had been as dry as q chip2 y1
Waterbury Democrat., 1900-10-31

Everyone seems to be in favor of
the proposed telephone system and
hope to see work commenced on the
line so soon as the frost is out and
the weather will permit. 1t will
connect us with Audubon. Ross.
Gray, Kimballton, Elkhorn, Poplar
and the outsideworld. We believe
lnsuch enterprises as they mark a
town for business worth and owing
to the large volume of business
transacted here we want to see such
advancement in public improve
nents and public affairs as will
give us proper standing as a town
OF push and enterprise ahead of any
town OF our size on the slope. The
proposed system will not and can
not cost the town even one dollar,
only ou1 good will, and it will be
supported and paid for by those
who use the system and have
phones put in their houses or place
of business. When put in opera
ton it will save all messenger fees
and when you desire to talk with
someone out of town you will not
be compelled to stand and wait un-
til some messenger boy plays a
game of marbles on the village
green before going and giving the
call to the man you want to talk
with. You can help this matter
along whether you want a phone
or not by voting for the franchise
on election day, Monday, March 26.
The granting of the franchise does
not give the exclusive right to err
ect and maintain a telephone line to
this company and if at any time
someone or company of men may
desire to put in another line or sys-
tenn they can have the privilege to
do so.

Will Donaldson and wife are now
comfortably located in the Brent
man building, on the west side of
the square, where they will live and
has just received a splendid new
steel oven and will soon be able to

such business, and we trust they
will soon find themselves at home
in the social circles of the town.

halt past eight they heard quite a
noise out on the front porch and on
attending the alarm they found that

and there they stood loaded with
boxes, baskets and valises filled
with all kinds of good things to eat.
VI course they were asked in and
then congratulations were exchange
