The idea of having an Old Home celebration in Newtown is like Banco' $ ghost, it will not down. A big storm came as squelcher on the evening ap- pointed in December. A valiant quaternion of faithfuls turned out for the High school meeting, and adjourn ed the session to the same place, the Newtown High school, Monday even- ing, January 16, 1905, at o'clock. Let us come out then, men and women, from all sections of the town, and set going in enthusiastic fashion, if the idea approves itself, an Old Home eel ebratiOn in 1905. Let us Say again, that we may not be misunderstood, that the Mems club simply takes hold of the matter because some one or some organization must take the in- itiative; when the scheme is once fair ly launched, the responsibility of the Mems club, as club, ceases. Let us make this an interest in which all our citizens have a part. Newtown has many who have gone out of her homes who would like good excuse to get back for day or SO; and there is much important historical material which such an occasion would furnish a good opportunity of collating.-[Otis w.
