 An event of much interest and en- joyment occurred at the home of MT and Mrs R. J. Signor on Golden Hill,
 last week Wednesday evening. Mrs Signor had arranged to have her broth CT and Mrs Elmer T. Judd spend their seventh wedding anniversary at her home. A large number of near rela- tives were invited and were present,
 making the occasion very pleasant one to be remembered. MT and Mrs Judd were married at the home of Mrs Judd's parents, MT and Mrs Frederick
 Booth or 449 Broad street, Bridgeport,
 March II, 1899. Their wedding trip took them to home in Cando, N. D., and was prolonged nearly seven years.
 MT and Mrs Judd arrived in Bridge port, last November, just in time to eat their Thanksgiving dinner at Mrs Judd's old home. Besides daughter and son-in-law MT and Mrs Booth welcomed home three grandsons, stur- dy, healthy boys, born on the rich soil of Dakota. They have spent the winter at the homes of their grand parents in Bridgeport and Bethel. The boys have grown and seem to thrive well on Yankee land, and are quick to learn the ways of their Yan- kee cousins.
 KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS ENTERTAIN.
 Pavia council, Knights of Columbus, entertained large number at it's dance Tuesday evening. The Eureka orchestra furnished the music for dancing. The committee had pro- cured quantity of shamrock which were given out as souvenirs of the day. The shamrock is the national emblem of Ireland and is plant with three leaves. According to tradition St Pat rick used a trefoil to illustrate the mystical doctrine of the Trinity and thereafter it was worn as badge upon the annual celebration of St Patrick's day, and finally was adopted by the people of Ireland as their national em- blem. Many were glad to procure a piece of this interesting plant A larpe number from Danbury were present.
