THOUGHTS ON THE NEW YEAR.
 The New Year came in here with;no demonstration, but perhaps a snore. The old year passed out with no mani fested public regret. It had been a year of change to several here. Fami- lies bereaved and losses to this village, very hard to cover and never to be for gotten. Other families have been changed, children gone out into the whirl and work of life, new to them. Others gone to other homes and states to live. So the year has gone, bearing with it more than it's usual events to this village, and the latter part there of the SaddeSt. May 1905 prove more satisfactory.
 Rev A. H. Post returned from Clin- ton, N. Y., last Saturday evening, and delivered beautiful sermon from his pulpit here on Sunday morning, from the text, "At evening time, it shall be light.'
 Mrs Frank J. Hosfortl was suddenly called to Brooklyn, N. Y., on Tuesday of last week, and her husband follow ed on Tuesday evening, on account of the critical illness of Miss Mary Hos ford there, who still remains in a most serious condition, with Mrs Hosford as attendant. MT Hosford returned on Wednesday evening. Miss Hosford has since undergone an operation and time only can give the result. The doctors informed her friends that she could not survive month without the operation, and with it, long lease is uncertain.
 Mrs Edward Hull is passing a few days with her daughter, Mrs Judson, in Bethel.
 Thomas Martin was seen on the street, last Saturday, for the first time in four weeks, having been con- fined to his home during that period with inf1ammatory rheumatism. K. S.sBrown is again Conveying L. Frankel of New York City about this vicinity, examining tobacco crops not Mrs Edna Renson and son, Rollin, were guests here of MT and Mrs Ezra D. Douglass from Friday till Sunday afternoon.
 Rev Henry Upson and wife return ed on Wednesday of last week from a few dajs' visit with relatives in east ern part of the state. The teacher at Upson Seminary, MT Hood, is now passing a few days at his home in Boston.

 Miss Jessie Wightman of New Brit ain is passing her holiday vacation here at Hermon HOffman'S on Chris tian street.
 Mrs Emily Wedge and daughter are passing short time at Arden Tan ner's in Warren.
 On account of the poor quality of ice now on Lake Waramaug, caused by the late melting of snow and condi- tion of the lake when it first troze Over F. J. Hosford has decided to cut out a space, this week, large enough to fill his large icehouse and let this space freeze again, throwing aside that he now cuts out, and waiting till the new freeze is of proper thickness to cut and pack. It will require space about one acre in size.
 K. Raymond Beardsley passed the latter part of last week and over last Sunday with friends in New Haven and Bridgeport.

The Now that 1905 has
 HarvestS come it is interesting
 of 1904. to look back and see what the harvcsts of 1904 were as they have been tabulated by the govern ment. The corn crop of 1904 in the United States will bring enough to pay the national debt, a years interest and surplus left over to run the gov ernment's yearly expenses. Leslie's Weekly gives an idea of the amount of the corn crop by this illustration: "Our corn crop of this year. if massed together, would cover 60 acres of ground to the depth of nearly Is hun dred feet-a veritable mountain of corn over third of a mile high. IT divided equally among the population of the earth it would give each person nearly two bushels. One practical re- suit of the enormous corn crop ought to be material reduction in the price of beef for home consumption, since it is the crop on which beef cattle are chiefly fed. In many parts of the West the harvest has been abundant, but in Oklahoma, especially, farmers this year are boastful of their corn crop. Favorable climatic conditions pro- duced ecord-breaking yield. In many instances the ears and stalks are of such unusual size as to be veritable curiosities. Next to the corn comes cotton, which is so plenty that the farmers of the South are burning it so as to keep up the price. It's value in lint and seed is estimated at 5000, ,0OO,- 900. Potatoes and barley reached their highest production in 1901, and it is said that there were 3C0 billion pounds more of rice raised than ever before. Secretary Wilson of the Board of Agriculture state that the farmers of America have in two years produced wealth exceeding all the output of all tine gold mines of the world since Columbus discovered America, The farm products of 1904 are estimated at nearly five billion dollars.

The New Year dawns on Sabbath calm, Der all the waiting earth; Bringing from out of darkness shades Morn'S resurrection birth. The New Year dawns on holy time; When heaven and earth are nigh; When pealing bells sound out their

 bright; Fit emblem may it be Of sunshine joy through all the year,. As sinful shadows flee. The New Year dawns! Lord, may its
 hours Lead souls to think of heaven: ~ May peace and joy and love divine To troubled hearts be given. The New Year dawns! it's closing day No mortal man may tell; But so may we it's days employ That all things shall be well.

 Extraordinary.

We use the word "SALE" advisedly as it is so often misused. But we feel sure that our reputation will suffice to prove the honesty of this sale. Two reasons contributes; our removal and also the pre-inventory period. We have many gDdS which are apt to be damaged in removal; then the largest business in our history just complet> d tndS many broken lines. Hence all thoughts of profit are eliminated and quick moving prices are placed upon goods in each department. We have no room here to mention prices brt promise that if you will call you will find bargains in the trueSt sense.
