He showed the Adriance Buckeye mowers and tedders, blows, cultivators, hay carriers. MT Booths place had steady run of visitors. He showed his enterprise by giving out neat circular.
 In contrast to the shabby manner the restaurant was run year ago, was the fine meal ser yed by I. N. Andrews of the Andrews Catering Co. of Bridge port. MT Andrews gave his patrons rattling good dinner, and as a result his place was crowded both days. Everything was nicely cooked and con- sidering the place he had to serve his dinner, he gave prompt and satisfac- tory service.
 The enterprising and popular D. NJ. Read Co. of Bridgeport deserve more than passing notice for their gener- osity, furnishing quite a number of premiums in the ladies' industrial de- partment.

Is THE MILLENNIUM HERE?-We
are told by Que OF the prophets that o
characteristic OF the millennisl age Will
be the fact that "holiness shall be upon,

were expressed in large letters. He
drew up In front of the Gszstte office,

HAD ITS EFFECT-The item 10 yes
terdsy's Gazette concerning the IN
seemly practice OF throwing paper and
other trash into the streets has caused
humble of tidy people who read 1t to
rec,te numerous instances where streets
are unnecessarily Uttered with refuse.
The acts are in many cases committed
by children or by thoughtless adults,
and doubtless many Of the latter class
will act on the hint and cease to be
guilty of the paisdemeanor. There is
plenty of law governing the matter,
but 1t is hoped that the infractioDs re-
ferred to will terminate, and that heroic
measures may not be necessary to COM
pei people to do what the statutes re-
quire.
