DEATH OF "POP" NICHOLS.


Frederick Nichols, familiarly known
as Pop Nichols, who had for long
time been IA driver of Farnham'S team
to the depot, died on Thursday last
from pneumonia. His genial face will
be much missed by his many friends.
The burial occurred, Saturday, in the
Elm street cemetery, Ansonia.
Angus Mcdonald is erecting a house
on the Perry hill. Charles H. Jen-
nings is building a house on his re-
Gently purchased farm on Lower
White Hills. The work is done by
Robert Scholley. Daniel Murphy is
putting up house for himself near
Division avenue.
The insurance rates on farm prop
erty have largely advanced, this year
and many of the stock companies will
not take such risks at any price.
FARMERS LIKE RURAL DELIVERY.
The farmers appreciate the free ru
raj delivery such bad and stormy
weather, as they can get their daily
paper and mail at their gates.
The rain and Sleet, last Thursday
and Friday, froze on the ground and
covered the trees with ice, some OF
them bending to the ground. Walk
ing and travelling WAS quite dangerous
and there were many tumbles, both of
people and horses.
Mr. and Mrs T. II. Newcomb have
gone to Springfield on a visit.

out the following statement about the
cost Of that dinner.
The pepper, hs said, came from TO-.
600 miles away. It grew on bush
eight feet high. which must have had
growth Of at least I've years. The
pepper was picked green: It had to be
dried In the sun. and tins meant EN-
plOying women. It took one ship and
1000 miles Of railroad to bring the Dep.
per TO the United States.
The -four Of which the bread was
made came from Dakota; some ons
owned tho land, and that meant the IN
vesting OF capital. and he had also to
pay wages to workingmen. The Hour
had 70 be ground. and the building Of
the mill and the plant or machinery,
meant more money invested. The mill
err had to be paid, coopers had to b
paid for making the barrels, and, OF
course, the wood Of which the barrels
were made had to be cut and sawed
and shaped. and this meant the EN-
ployment Of more men. Then the hour
had to be shipped over the railroad and
handled again by cartmen before 1t
came into the house.
The tea on the table came from China
and the coffee from South America. The
Goldfish had to be brought from Maine.
Men had to be employed to catch the
fish; other men and women were EN-
ployed In drying, packing and boxing
