 THE wEANTINAUG SCHOOL BUILDING.
 The new Weantinaug school build ing on the hill is approaching cOmple- tion, and it is building of fine pro- portions. The Tracey Brothers Co.,, the contractors, are now pushing the work to completion. Their local fore man is s. A. Warner, who is hustler from the word go. Just now he is short of carpenters and capable men applying will be pretty sure of getting a job. The mason work was sublet to that reliable firm, Casey & Hurley of Bridgeport. The building is plastered on the outside. R. D. Hurley, of the firm, has personally superintended the work and has impressed all who have met him as courteous gentleman and one who thoroughly understands his business His firm are now building a very large brick building on Chapel street, Bridgeport, and are remOdeling the block on Main street in the same city belonging to the Russell estate. The school building is magnificently located and with the fine corps o1 teachers, is bound to be a success. OF INTEREST TO THE TOBACCO TRADE AP. Wiseburn, the expert tobacco kSaWpler, who has been working in New Milford, is being congratulated on the article he has patented of which he i! one of the owners. It is an improved patent sampler, always neat and uni l form in appearance, can be quickly and conveniently made without dis comfort to the fingers of the sampler and with the aid of comparatively un skilled labor if necessary; and i stronger, more effective and more sat isfactOry in every way than the olt corded and taped form. By the nev method even the dryest tobacco can b. securely bound without cutting or in turing the tobacco. It not only insure a perfect and attractive sample unde all conditions but also saves time which is the equivalent of money Furthermore, the actual cost of tn sample is no greater than heretofore pie formed of two or more hands o tobacco held together by a band sur rounding their shanks, which band secured by staple or nails, the point of which penetrate through the over tapping ends of the band and into tn shanks of the hands of the tobacco be heath. The Patent Tobacco Sampl Company also owns Letters Paten No. 674, 148, dated May l4, 1901, for az paratus for making said Patent Tobal co sample. This apparatus is simpl in construction and effective in opera tion, and meets all the practical It quirements of the trade. It onl
 weighs four pounds, is portable, an easily adjusted in position for use The shanks of the hands of tobacco together with the ticket, are place
 upon the table (across which the binG ing ribbon extends) between the vert cal arms of the binding straps, whic are then lowered by means of the han wheel and screw. The desired degre ) of compression having been attained the ribbon is cut from the spool, an , the ends of the bands thus formed al brought up between the straps an around the shanks of tobacco, tn overlapping ends of the band bein ) thus secured by driving a staple ( nails through them. {

REGRET TO HAVE DIR. CURTIS LEl

REGRET TO HAVE DIR. CURTIS LEAVE. The residents of Cornwall Bridge are in good state of health just at the present time and it stands us all in hand to try and keep so, as the com- munity have had the misfortune to lose our esteemed and worthy physi- clan, Dr William Curtis, who has moved to Bristol, in pursuit of an easier field of labor. It is with much regret that we have to lose him as a citizen, as we'll as doctor. This was made manifest by the company that gathered at the A. O. U. w. hall the night before his departure to pay their respects to Dr and Jennie Curtis, his wife. Notwithstanding the drenching rain, the hall was a very ap- propriate place as the doctor was a member of the Masonic fraternity, and a charter member of the A. O. U. w. orders, and it's first master workman. He was always working for the good of the order and it's cause.

raise $500, which they not only did,
but increased that amount $500 and
the sum of $1,1Q0 was contributed by
those present for the benefit of the

1t is very doubtful whether seven
persons, regardless of what their ma
tionality might be, could as complete
ly entertain an audience for two
hours as did the Slayton jubilee sing
ers at the Y. NJ. c. A. hall last We'd
nesday evening. From plaintive
plantation melodies to weird Jubilee
hallelujahs and thence to rag time,
with occasional outbursts Of classical
music, these seven most excellent
voices produced fun and melody for
large concOurSe of visitors to each
and every ones entire satisfaction.
Should these jubilee singers decide to
return to Seattle and give their en-
tertainment in one of the churches Of
the city with the advertisement that
they got on this occasion, standing
room would be at premium. A bet
ter entertainment of it's kind never
appeared before the footlights.
Seattle's Afro-American colony is to
be taught the art of doing politics
la Oklahoma by a new-found Moses
who drifted into town a few weeks
ago. Doubtless the boys will feel
that this is godsend to them, and
after the next spring election they'll
come pretty nearly owning the town.
The experts who have been work
ing on the books of ex-Treasurer
Whittlesey have finally completed
their work and report a shortage of
$4,000 covering the two terms of
Mr.. Whittlesey's incumbency of the
office. Just what procedure will be
taken in the matter no one seems to
know at the present time further
than the prosecuting attorney has
made a demand on the bonding COM
pany for the amount. Whether they
VIII or will not prosecute Mr.. Whit
tlesey criminally remains to be seen,
but the company threatens to do so.
1t is the concensus of opinion
throughout the city that P. P. Pad
den, his deputy, was solely respon-
sible for the shortage.
