Two superb u6yS, huy way, LII o'.S
fair this year.
Win. Slater is recovering nicely
from his late accident.
Mrs. 3. w. Clarke went last Satur-
day to Springfield for a visit.
The deaths from Fourth of July
accidents this year we're 1O5, as
against Ais last year.
We hear of vicinity victims of the
sharpers at the neighboring fairs of
late. Well, who's to blame?
Not much to complain of in the
line of weather during the great Stat
ford Springs fair this year!
A man who attended the fair said
to us "Next time an automobile runs
into me shall have gun with me. =
Miss Linda Gardner, youngest
daughter of Samuel Gardner of Burn
side, is again at the congregational
parsonage.
A dance will be held at Cartier s
pavilion, West Wilmington, Friday
evening. Music will be furnished by
Jordan's orchestra.
Its always best to be frank and
above level. Dark lantern opera
tions will ultimately come to grief.
"Mark the prediction.
Everybody, clerical and lay, who
attended, speaks highly of the late
fair at Stafford Springs, and was awed
at the large attendance.
Mrs. Edward Dunbar of Torring-
ton has been spending week or so
with the GARDENERS at the Congrega-
tional parsonage. She returned Mon
day.
j. Arnold Hocuhen and wife came
from New York Saturday. She will
remain permanently if she can find
work to do in this region ms a graduate
nurse.
There's to be Baptist ladies'
homemade candy social in the
conference room Friday evening next,
the 14th. A cordial invitation is ex-
tended to all.
Rev. Charles III. Brown of Newport,
vt, rejoined his wife at George A
Cosgrove's Saturday. He came from
his attendance on the peace conven-
ton in Boston.
Miss Ida M. Hall and Deacon F.
W. Pratt are the delegates from the

Rev. @. w. Wolfe and D. B. Gard
ner drove over to Burnside Friday, the
former being the invited guest of
Samuel Gardner there during a part
of the services of the Y. P. S. @. E.
in Hartford.
The theme at the Congregational
church Sunday was "The greatness of
the soul,'' Mark 8 :37. The preceding
sermonette was on the topic, GA lock
of hair" founded on the same text as
that of last Sunday.
The "union" on the U. S. flag
floating at the door of the Hill post
office was reversed Immediately on
the receipt of the news OF the death
of the P. M. general last Wednesday
noon, and remained so until after his
funeral.
You can always tell when you hit
by the futtering which ensues. And
in this connection it may be proper
to say that the less that is said about
certain things the better. Moreover,
the odor that arises when certain
things are stirred up is not pleasant
s'What a fine discourse was on
everybody's lips. Mr.. Brown would
have had a larger audience had it
been generally known that he was to
preach. He has greatly improved in
manner, force and diction, if improve
ment was possible, since he left the

Rev. Charles Ell. Brown, of New

Sunday, taking for his text Is. 2 Il
"They shall beat their swords into
plowshares, and their spears into
/ .
pruning hooks. The discourse,
which was most eloquent and stirring
one, was evidently inspired by his at
tendance at the peace congress in Bos-
ton, which he had just returned from
There being no stove set up in the
Baptist conference room Thursday
night, the company was obliged to
resort to the ladies' kitchen to hold
the meeting. If this cold weather
lasts we guess there will be fire in
the future in the fore mentioned room.
On more occasions than one we
have wished we could see good, at
least to be of some service at such
functions.
1t has been announced that a re-
publican caucus to nominate our candi-
dates for representatives will be held
at the town hall on Saturday, the 22d
inst. Let there be full attendance
from all parts of the town, so that
there shall be no grumbling after the
affair is over. AS is we'll known, the
salient feature of the next legislature
is the election of U. S. senator to
take the place of J. R. Hawley, whose
term will have expired in due time.
Another thing that is also probably
we'll known is that the contest is be-
