A GOOD BALL GAME.


 The South Britain baseball club came to town on Labor day to play a return game with the Monroe team, and after we'll played and exciting game, were trimmed to the tune of 5 to 3, after being given every benefit of a doubt, by the umpire. South Brit aims went to the bat and were easily blanked; likewise Monroe. In the sec Ond inning South Britain scored two runs and one in the third, the rest were all goose eggs, for the boys from up the valley. Monroe got one in the second inning, two in the sixth and one in the seventh and eighth. Every one enjoyed themselves very much ex- cept little unpleasantness caused by a slight illness on the part of the visi- ting backstop. The score by innings Monroe, o D EAST VILLAGE NOTES. MEET

 The revival services beg an Sunday evening, September 6. Rev George Brown of Derby Methodist church gave powerful sermons on Monday and Tuesday evenings. The Lord wOnder- fully blessed him in preaching the Word. Two other earnest and capa- ble men, Revs B. 0. Tree of Shelton and J. H. Hand of Ansonia, assisted the remainder of the week. There is fairly good attendance and splendid interest in the meeting. It is very likely that with the continuation of good weather these services will be held through this week. This is the beginning of an extended revival. Effort is to be put forth in the follow ing months among the Derby group of Methodist churches, to which East Village belongs. This evangelistic movement first began in the annual New York East Conference at South Norwalk, last spring, when the earnest men of that body realized the great need of a forward movement. The foundation has been carefully laid and for the pouring out of his Holy Spirit upon his people by God Almighty.

THE VIEWPOINT FEAR.

AN APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE
 The writer is anxious concerning the agricultural department of the fair in particular. It has been a hard season. There may not be much which seems worthy to be exhibited. It has, been difficult to time things meant to be specials for the occasion.
 1 never spent so much time and money on my garden, and never had so little in it. Flowers started on pur- pose for the show will be gone before the exhibition. I imagine that many are telling the same discouraging story.
 But what shall we do about it? Do the best we can of course. Take the finest we have and help to make good display, and then all go and see the show each day. We may be sur priSed at the results. Let each family and each member of the household contribute in some way to the success of our home fair. Plan to go and take the children. It will pay. We can of if we only try. Look over the pre- mium list and see what you can do best, and do it; and you will get out of it satisfaction at least, according to the real interest you put into it.
 You may expect to find me at the educationa stand with documents to give away, as usual. Call and see me, and you may receive wisdom in print ed form which will make you happy if not rich.
 The special premiums offered by the merchants for the best butter by the separator process interests me, and l hope that everyone in town who works by that method will exhibit; and that an expert judge who knows the essen tial points of good butter will meet the exhibitors and talk up and illus trate the subject to them for their personal benetit.-[O.
