THE RAIN STORM
Crosswalks on Exchange Place Hard to
 t Find To-day, ~

The rain storm of last night and this morning must have opened the eyes of the city officials to the need of taking steps to keep surface water from accommodating on the crossings in Exchange place. To-day it took a couple of men most of their time sweeping the water from hollow spots in the walk running from Browns corner to West Main street, and from the same point across the way to the opposite side of West Main street. The public has a right to find fault about this and it is wonder some of the merchants have not made fuss about it long ago. It would make an inter- esting theme for Thomas Kelly and others in that immediate neighborhood whose patrons would have got wet feet getting to their stores to-day were it not for the efforts of couple of la bOrers. who worked like beavers to keep the small ponds out of the way. If there is no other way of keeping water off these crossings it should be connected with the sewer the same as the trolley company has done at bad spots on Bank and East Main streets.

We Wish EvervbOdV

A happy Christmas, and by that we mean every man, woman and child Ill the city of Waterbury, it matters not whether they drink our tea or coffee or not; that cuts no ice just at this time of the year. We want everybody to feel happy and contented because Christmas tide is the season when all should be in a state of joyful satisfac- tion and life is too short to be otnef- wise. Of course there are some peo- pie who are always happy. Take, for instance. the -buttoned, blue coated, keen-eyed "cops." They take that we know anything about. And, Say we are giving beautiful sou venir calendar to each purchaser of pound of our nice-tasting tea or cof- fee. and by the way, 1t happens to be the picture of a certain 'cop" and when you receive one, take particular notice what the two little girls are do- ing with his hat, and what the "cur poodle" is doing with his club, and what the tom cat is doing to what he is supposed to drink and if you don't say that cops take life easy. then we will take back all we've said and try and believe there are no naughty "cops." But please remember your Christmas dinner will not be complete unless you serve our tea or coffee; that's no joke-its fact. Just try it this year.
