Golden Wedding
CELEBRATION OF Sc

People of St. Johns Parish
Give Them A Happy
Surprise
AND REMEMBER THEM WITH
A HANDSOME PRESENT.
AND REMEMBER THEM WITH
A HANDSOME PRESENT.

A charming social event took place
on Friday evening at Sandy Hook,
when the golden wedding of that
highly esteemed couple, Selectman
and Mrs Minott Augur was celebrated
in a manner befitting the interesting
occasion. The affair was arranged and
planned by the members of St Johns
parish, under the energetic leadership
of the popular rector, Rev Otis o.
Wright.
The gathering was held in Glover's
hall, which proved to be an ideal place
for the celebration. The hall had
been very tastefully decorated. An
arch of yellow and white bunting and
chrysanthemums was erected, with
handsome center piece of two silver
and gold hearts, bearing the figures of
the year the couple were married and
of the year of the celebration.
Streamers of yellow and white were
extended across the hall while the
stage was banked with potted plants
in bloom. Those who deserve credit
for the decorations were Mr. and Mrs
George f. Taylor, Miss Mary Warner,
Miss Florence Warner, Mr. and Mrs FL.
Ii. Curtis, H. G.. Warner and Mrs f.
II. Mitchell. Ats O'Clock a carriage
was sent for Mr. and Mrs Augur, who
while suspecting something was going
| on, had no idea of the elaborate cele-
| bration in their honor. AS Mr. anC
Mrs Augur proceeded to their position
under the arch Miss Warner playet

for competition! Think of the 500
farms, and then recall the little hand
full of flowers entered, and many of
them from out of town! Five hundred
farms and little insignificant bench
show of fowls without any bench, ten
or a dozen entries! And it was much
the same in other lines.
Moreover, where were all the people?
The population of our town is 1926,
last census. Did the people of the
town go to their own show? Suppose
that 5000 Newtown people had attend
ed the fair, one day, and paid admis-
sion. The receipts would have been
$3.50. If they had attended both good
days, $1,000. Suppose that 1000, less
than third, had paid admission three
days; the receipts would have amount
ed to $3.50. Or had l 1000 attended even
one day; $3.50 might have saved the
day, financially, and morally perhaps
1t would be very interesting to know
how many Newcomers did actually
attend their own home fair, which is
located near the center of this beauti-
full old township. We're there as many
as 500 out of more than 5000 that gave
it their patronage? Did even 100 in
habitants of Newtown pay admission,
the best day of the fair?
If the fair is a failure who is to
blame for it? And what shall we do
about it? If Newt0Wn people had
spent as much time and money on the
home fair as they did on the great
Danbury show, would it have been a
failure?I[O. o. Wright.

MR. THORPE DISCHARGED.
BROUGHT UP BEFORE JUSTICE DAYTON
FOR ILLEGAL LIQUOR SELLING.

The case of State against Charles M.
Thorpe was held on Monday last be-
fore Justice Charles W. Dayton in
Sandy Hook. He was charged on five
different counts-with violating the
liquor law. The first count was repu-
tation, the second was sale on Sep
TENDER 3, 1902, the third was sale on
September 26, and the fourth and fifth
counts charged him on different days,
both Sundays, with keeping a place
icating liquors were sold not according
to law. The State had subpoenaed
from HattertoWn: Easton and Redding
about 30 witnesses. Mr. Thorpe plead
not guilty and the ball was set rolling
by the State putting on Edward B.
Booth of Hattertown as witness to
prove reputation. He was followed by
Eugene Northrop, Hans P. Boyson and
one other witness, all of whom swore
they knew nothing about what rep
utation the place bore. The State
then attempted to prove the second
count, which was a sale on September
3. 1t seems that on that day three
gentlemen of leisure from Redding,
Messrs Frank and William Morrow
and Howard Sherman, jourpeyed from
Redding to Hattertown to fish in Nor
gan's pond, but brought up at Mr.
Thorpe's and asked him to sell them
pitcher of cider, which he refused to
do, but did say he would sell them a

average couple is in need of tin. Next
is the crystal, when presents of glass
are brought forward. Then comes the
Goth anniversary, the china wedding.
China is better than glass. And then
follows the silver wedding. Then fol-
lows on the cotton, the linen, wooden.
and silk. And lastly comes this grand
climax of which we have an illustra-
tion here to-day. We hope we may be
with you on the 18th anniversary of
your marriage and shall begin at once
to save up diamonds. Mr. WrigSt's ad-
dress was warmly applauded.
Mr. Augur then arose to reply. Said
Mr. Augur: "Mrs Augur refuses to say
word, although she was willing
enough to talk so years ago tonight.
| don't know what | can say. l know
that we both ARE very thankful.
There is one knot that Mrs Augur is
very fond of that Mr. Wright has not
spoken of. That is "Mi-nott." This
happy hit brought forth enthusiastic
applause and Mr. Augur was forced to
wait before he could proceed.) 1 did
not expect to see so many here to-
night. hope you will all live to come
to our diamond wedding"
Those from out of town included
Mrs Henry Stoddard and daughter,
Miss Grace Stoddard, Mrs Louise
| Wheeler, and Mr. and Mrs Joel Brad
ley of New Haven, Miss Mabel Camp
and Mr. and Mrs Frederick Chambers,
Misses Jennie and Libbie Chambers of
Waterbury, Mr. and Mrs J. r. Smith
and Mrs John NJ. Otis of Bridgeport
| Miss Elma Augur of Woodbridge.
Great pleasure was expressed also in
having present Dea and Mrs N. w.
| Mitchell of Poota tuck, who celebrated
their golden anniversary few years
since. The young men doing the hon.
ors as ushers were Louis T. Briscoe. H
B.. Sniffin, Ralph G. Belts, and w. M.
Mitchell. Choice refreshments were
served of cake and cream. A good
deal of interest was manifested in the
dancing of a Virginia reel by the ole
folks, led by Mr. and Mrs Minott
| Augur. Mrs Philo Nichols presided
at the piano.
1t is appropriate in connection with
the report of this pleasant event thai
a little personal sketch of Selectmar
Augur should appear. Mr. Augur wal
born in BRIDGEPORT, Fairfield county
April 6, 1929, and his ancestors fo
several generations past have beer
identified with the state of Connect

father of Minott, was resident o

gallon but that they must take it off
the premises, which he did. They
claimed they paid 25c and he 20c.
Mr. Thorpe gave them each glass of
cider out of the jug and did not charge
them for it. The State claimed the
men paid for the drinks out of the 25c
given by the men to Thorpe. Mr. and
Mrs Thorpe testified that nothing was
paid for the cider drank out of the
pitcher and that zoe was given them
for ;the cider which the men took
away. Upon the conclusion of the
evidence the State abandoned all the
counts except the second, but asked
for conviction on that, which after
the arguments was denied by Justice
Dayton and Mr. Thorpe was acquitted.
Sequel: Newtown's taxpayers pay $50
costs. Attorney Beecher appeared for
Mr. Thorpe and Attorney Samuel G.
Shaw of Bridgeport prosecuted.
