The theme at the Congregational
church Sunday was "The great invi-
tation," founded on Matt. 11:28.
At the Baptist church the text was
Joshua 24:15; topic, Choosing to-

the Christian spirit prevailing, es-
pecially during this season of "good
will to men, that we are going to
rush frantically and join one of the
local churches.
Plunged in sea of prosperity as

concerning Representative-elect DR..
Higgins, of South Coventry that part
of it relating to his coming to this
place to settle: cat the close of his
medical course in New York he loea-
ted at Wellington, Conn, where he
remained until September, 1891 when
he removed to South Coventry to take
the place of DR.. E. P. Flint, who
was removing to Rockville, " and add
that we boarded and roomed him and
stabbed his horse when he came here
as stranger. A neighboring city
paper omits this part of the DOCTOR
life in a report Of him, accompanied
by a picture, last week. We will
further add that had he removed here
he would have been chosen as soon,
if not sooner, to go to the legislature
than in South Coventry, besides that
snug little sum of $40, 900 lately fall

just as far here.
