AGELIr1ITATION.

There is growing sentiment which precludes old age from enjoying the benefits of choice positions in the bus mess world. Youth is everywhere pre-
 ferred. In this respect Electric Bitters is different. It benefits old and young alike. Rev c. J. Budlongof Ashaway, R. l. writes, ''I want everybody to know what Electric Bitters is. It cured me of jaundice and liver trouble from which suffered for years. It's a great tonic and nervine and cures liver, kidney and stomach troubles. " Only soc and guaranteed by R. H.

AN ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE
 LIBRARY.
LET ALL LEND A HAND.

A committee to arrange some enter tainment for the benefit of the New town Library was appointed at the annual meeting last December. The idea has been lying dormant all winter; but now with the coming in of the beautiful weather, that which was be- fore only in bud has blossomed into a rose. This is indeed true, for the play to be given when the summer season is in full swing is entitled "A Bunch ot Roses" Mrs c. s. Platt, upon whose energetic leadership the library has relied for many years, found this play the other day in New York, and it struck her at once as just the thing. It will go well as frame work for much local coloring, which always takes with Newtown audi ence. The rosebuds which, of course, accompany roses will give chance to work in the children. Mrs Platt and the other members of the entertain ment committee have our best wishes for good hit, and cordial support is assured them.

THE NEWTOWN FAIR.
A SUGGESTION.

am wondering how many are think ing about it and planning to produce something, the best of it's kind: vege- table, fruit, flowers, food, anything which will go toward making an exhi- bition we shall all be glad to go and see? Now is the time to conceive the ideal which we would work out. The seed-time is the beginning of the har- vest. We can reap only as we shall SOW. The planting is prophetic of the perfect fruit. The springtide and the summer growth, with skillful culture, seldom fail to bless the faithful hus- bandman. The farmer who does not invest money, brain, experience and enterprise in.the production of the best crops has no moral right to possess the land, for it belongs to God for the use of His children. What right has any man to occupy the earth and call the lands he holds by his name, if he only encumbers the soil which should be loaded with the fruits of his industry? We all have duties to God and to each other. The farmers of Newtown ought to have some conscience with respect to the fair. It will be. what we make it. It is our fair, in fact it is above all things an exhibit of the Ipeople them selves. It is not simply show of the products of the great rural community in which we live, it is revelation of the life of the inhabitants. It is an index of the social conditions, educa- tional standards, and the moral and r, ligious status of the agricultural peo- pie, merchants, manufacturers, minis ters of Christ, and indeed of all citi- zens in the town and vicinity.
 In order to have good, successful fair we must put ourselves into it, and exhibit ourselves at our best. People from towns and cities around will come to see good, live exhibition, and it will pay to hold such fair, in values better than cash.-[O. O. Wright.

 TIE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH ONE
 WEEK FROM NEXT sUNDAY.u
 AS the years roll on and the number of those who in the perilous days of '6l. stood bosom-free to shot and shell grows painfully less, the celebration of Memorial Day becomes more tender and pathetic. One can hardly think of any service which would stir deeper feelings than the gathering around the old flag haloed by the golden light of a glorious Past. All should esteem it a sacred duty with heart and voice this year to keep green the memory of our heroes dead. Rev Otis w. Barker, pastor of the Congregational church, most cordially invites veterans and all others interested in Memorial Day to attend fitting service to be held in the church on Sunday morning, May "A, at II o'clock. Flags, music and sermon will all do their part in mak- ing this years Memorial Day pass rightly by. MT Barker asks the vet erans to kindly extend the invita- tion, and do what they can to add in- terest and honor to the occasion.
