A. M. Briscoe & Son, the wholesale and hustling carriage dealers of Sandy Hook, have secured the large store house in the rear of the Mantle mills at Sandy Hook, for their carriage re- lo'itory. Since starting in business they have occupied the large Gibson barn. The change will give them needed room. The new quarters are handy to the Street, and to MT Augur's market, and gives them an ideal place for their business. Briscoe & Son have built up large carriage business, extending into nearby towns. Square dealing has been their watchword. It has been their aim to make every GUS toner satished one, and this fact has aided them naturally in their business career.

The question of the for feiture of the charter and the dis pusal of the Grange property will be considered. If the leading agricultu' rists would take hold of the Grange and give it their support, Newtown would have flourishing Grange.

 Rev Joseph L. Guernsey has resigned
 as pastor of the Darfen Methodist church, the same to take effect Mon- day evening, December 1. MT Guern-
 sey rendered his resignation at spec ial meeting of the official board at the close of the.prayer service, last We'd nesday evening, and it was received l with expressions of heartfelt regret from every member of the board. MT Guernsey will preach at Youngstown, in Niagara country, New York state, until next September, filling vacan- cy, at which time he hopes to be ad- mitted to the Genesee conference.
 His action was great and painful surprise to the entire church. In ,ten- dering his resignation MT Guernsey stated that there was an opening n the Genesee conference and, that aft CT three weeks of deliberation he had decided to accept the pastorate of the Methodist church in Youngstown. Next September the Genesee confer ence meets and he hopes to be admitted to the conference and appointed pastor of the Youngstown church at that time. Until September he was simply to be filling vacancy.
 MT Guernsey regretted his depar- ture, but was joyful in the thought that he left the parish in much bet ter condition then when he came. He stated that this conference is over- crowded and that he considered there was a much better chance for advance ment for young minister in a confer ence not so crowded. MT Guernsey with his family will move to Youngs- town, December 2.
 Since assuming charge of the Darien Methodist church there has been a large improvement along all lines of church work under the guidance of Rev MT Guernsey. He came the from Newtown, Conn.,, in April, 1901, succeeding Rev c. A. Wilson. During his pastOrate the church debt has been almost entirely reduced, only about Sl5 being left and at present the church is in splendid financial condition. Many improvements have been made in general way, adding to the eff ciency and equipment of the church: in fact, the church has been entirely reorganized in it's working plane and has been made more effective than ever before.
 Services have been uniformly well attended and there has been a marked increase in the attendance at the prayer meetings. MT Guernsey found the church in an unsettled condition. Through his efforts the forces were re- united and during the Is months of his pastorate there has not been the slightest friction or discOrd. There has not been such perfect accord and harmony in all church work in years as there has been the past IS months.
 MT Guernsey is young man in his 18th year, and has considerable ability as pulpit speaker. His parish and friends outside will wish him all the success possib ble in his new field.
 The members of the Darien church will tender Rev and Mrs Joseph L. Guernsey a farewell reception next Thursday night at the parsonage.

A rigid union of church and state
to their mutual injury remains an
other barrier in the way of prog
ress. Local self-gOvernment has ex-
isted for centuries, and is wholly in
dependent of the national legislature

leave little except a name of local
