On last Saturday the Newtown team lost to the Lincoln of Bridgeport by the score of II to 3. Sickness prevent ed some of the players from being in the game, which fact helped the home team to lose. The team played poor ball and gave Allen miserable support, although he was batted hard through out the game. Allen has worked hard, but the team can't seem to play be- hind him. The management has tried to strengthen the team and a general shake-up may follow. The individual playing on the part of most of the men is not bad, but the team work is poor. Nichols will pitch, and coach the team. He has always pitched good ball for Newtown and the team plays lively behind him. A good team may he looked for from now on providing the attendance is large enough to warrant it. It has been very poor SC far this season. On this Saturday the team will play the Derby nine on the home grounds at 3.30. Messrs Nichols and Bishop will do the battery work

of much importance to automobilists

of much importance to automobilists in the state. First, autos cannot run more than 12 miles an hour in town nor more than 20 miles outside. Sec ondly, all machines are to be relicens- ed and there is to be reassignment of numbers. It is thought that own CTS can keep the numbers they have now if they notify the secretary of the state at an early date. The numbers must be placed on the body of cars fore and aft, and must be bought from the secretary of state at Hartford. They are to be sold at cost. It is not likely that there will be any prosecu- tions for violation of this portion of the law for month or so at least. Another thing, horsemen may signal the autoist to stop if horses show fright and they must do it. The above are the more important points of the new law.

DEATH OF WELL-KNOWN GREENFIELD
 RESIDENT.
 The death of Julia, wife of Joel Banks, occurred at her home in the Hull's Farm district, Friday morning. Her death was the outcome of a pecul- jar malady with which she has been afflicted for over six years and which at times has brought her so near deaths door that restoration seemed almost impossible. The nature of the disease, affecting the stomach, has been one of the mysteries which med ical men sometimes have to meet, and although the symptoms have been closely studied from time to time the diagnose the case. An autopsy was performed upon the body, Saturday, the result of which has not yet been made public. It is the general theory, however, that Mrs Banks was a victim of cancer and that the progress of the disease finally terminated in the rup- turing of important arteries, which caused death. She has been a most patient sufferer, retaining to 8 degree seldom equaled by any of her sex, her remarkable nerve and will power. AL ways cheerful and ever hopeful for the best, she fought death with un- O0AAoSN SCN10603 ASAA0AAAn6 AOAOAS to the last. The case is one that has attracted widespread interest and many are the expressions of sympathy heard on all sides for the bereaved hus- band, who mOurns the loss of the wife of his youth as only those can mourn when one they love is taken from them. The deceased was born in Greenfield nearly 73 years ago, being the daughter of Allison Hull, whose home was in the Hull's Farms district of Greenfield. She was married to Joel Banks of EastOn about 50 years ago and subsequently, settled in her native place, where she has ever since lived. Three children blessed the union, all of whom are now married: They are Julia M., wife of Orville Nichols, the well-knOwn carpenter, Sarah, wife of Sidney Chichester of New Canaan, and Royal Banks, who resides near his fathers home. Mrs Banks united with the Congregational church here many years ago. Her regular attend ance when in health showed her in- terest in the service and her keen ap- preciation of the work of the society. AS a neighbor she was pleasant, kind hearted and obliging, and being of an easy, retiring disposition was able to retain the respect, confidence and love of all her friends. The funeral from her late home, Sunday afternoon, was largely attended, Rev Dr Cane con- ducting the service.

Paul -Wynne, who had come ostensibly for the fishing, but rumor had 1t that he was devoted to Margery.
 Margery had returned home with just a whispering in her heart that stephen was no longer a boy-lover. Her first round oi visits with Louise to the country homes and the insinuations of the good folk that she and Stephen were lovers were disastrous to Stephens hopes. When Paul arrived she made point of -monopolizing his attentions to convince the farmers and their good wives that they were wrong in their sur- misses.
 One day when she. Louise and Paul were route to the home of Stephens father to spend the day, they stopped for a call upon one Arbelia Gray spinster,
 'I guess the sight of ycu Is pretty good to Stephens pa, Margery" remarked their hostess. You don't look like your ma, but she full of spirits like you. and she was just about your age when he began to be sweet on her."
 "whatW exclaimed Margery. ''was Jim Wilbur mammals sweetheart7"
 La, yes Didn't you know?" replied Ar bella, relishing this unlocked for oppor- tunity to impart news. They were sweet hearts like you and Stevie, but your ma was a flirt. and she gave Jim the mitten for your pa. After while Jim married a stranger. They never seemed real happy and she didn't live long after stevle was born Your ma seemed to think she didn't treat Jim just right. and all thought that was why when she died she left your Aunt Hattie your guardian, so you could be brought up next door to Steyie and sort of atone"

 It was certainly very disheartenlng to steuhen Wilbur to be sent to the city now just as Margery coming home. but the business was imperative and his father oo- durate.

 She was so genuinely glad to see him and so dismayed at the knowledge that ha was to remain in the city that the prosaic nature of the lad was extinsuished for one brief moment. He was tempted to throw over his fathers plans. and go back to the farm with Margery and her school friend, Louise Deane, who was to be Mar gery's guest for the summer, but his sturdy. hard sense reasserted itself and conquered.
 He said commonplace goodbye and returned to sordid round of porkpacking details with his heart and thoughts filled with clover fields and the thrilling eyes of his sweetheart. looking forward to the time to come when he should have home and fireside of his own.
 His dreams were destined to be disturbed. From home he received the intelligence that MarEery and her friend were entertain ing a young art student from the oity' one
