 Thanksgiving this year was @ most unusual quiet one, not many large family gatherings being held. Among those from out of town who were en- tertained by relatives here were the following: MT. and Mrs. William Dimock and family of Somers at Augustus St. Marie's; MT. and Mrs. Milton Smith of Willimantic at Chas. Smiths in Hydeville; MT. and Mrs. O. W. Booth and son of Ware, MT. and Mrs. W. J. Fuller and son and Walter Crowl of Springfield at Austin Witt's; Claude Pinney of New York at E. 0. Pinney's; MT. and Mrs. Reuben Burley of Holyoke at E. H. Pinney's; Miss Addie Whiton of Terryville and friend, 0. W. Leach, of Chester at E. M. Whiton's, and other small parties of relatives mentioned last week.
 Stafford grange made its initial bow as public entertainer by giving a dance in Memorial hall last Thursday night, and it is said that it was the finest affair of the kind that has been given in this town in many years. Music by Fuckers orchestra of Willi- mantle was strong feature, and was alone worth all the expense of attend ing. and the prompting was equally as good as the music. The hall was filled to overfiowing, so much so that the dancers were somewhat hampered for room, but the crowd was a jolly, social and good-natured one. In- stead of coming out a little short of paying expenses, as most dances have done, the grange find a net profit, after paying all bills, of over twenty. five dollars. Taken altogether it was a most complete success in every way, and the grange has good reason to feel proud over the affair. It augurs we'll for the success of their fair and entertainment which they are to hold in the same hall the Sth and 9th of next month. During the fair fancy articles, ice cream and home made candy will be on sale and the comedy drama in three acts, Diamonds and Hearts, {" will be presented each even. ing with the following cast: Bernice Halstead, Jennie MacCallum; Amy Halstead, Mabel Graves; Mrs. Hal stead, Mrs. Laura Ellis;l Hannah May Barnes, Mrs. Clara Beard; Dwight Bradley. John P. Brown; Dr. Burton, Frank A. Lasbury; Sammy, W. P. Lasbury; Abraham Barnes, J. M. Larned; attorney, J. Hawley Larned i; sheriff, G. D. Ide. Admission, 25 and 35 cents.
