The funeral of Pitt Barrows, who
died the 18th, was held in the Con-
gregational church at Willimantic
Friday at l O'Clock, Rev. Thomas
Potterton of Brooklyn, N. Y, preach

D. Leavitt of Willimantic' and Leon
ard Smith of Spring Hill. The body
was placed in the receiving vault in

The indications point strongly to-
wards a cessation of hostilities be-
tween Willimantic and the town OF
Mansfield over the taxation of the
city's pumping station property. which
is located in the town of Mansfield.
The salectmen of Mansfield this year
feel that the interests of their town
and Willimantic are so interviewer
that quarreling does not tend to pro-
mote the interests of either place and
they much prefer to take the@$35 or
$40 which they are now getting and
live in peace. The good feeling man
ifested by the citizens of the town of
Mansfield is already shown in most
substantial manner. Mansfield has,
in former years, improved the high
way between Willimantic and Mans
field Center under state supervision,
but the town has left number of sec
tions in as bad shape as ever, a con-
dition intensified by the fine condition
of the improved portion. During the
present winter First Selectman ". D.
Stearns has set himself to accomplish
the work without a town meeting
He headed subscription with 500,
and for the past few months he has
been engaged in circulating the pa
per. He has aready over $1,000 sub
scribed, and several hundred dollars
of the money is opposite Willimantic
names. 1t is probably the first in
stance that people in one town have
subscribed literally for the improve
ment of highways in another, and
possibly the first instance where the
state has been asked to assist in the
improvement of highways in conjunc-
tion with other funds raised by SUBJ
scription. Hartford Courant. =. /

@. A. @. girls we're unfamiliar with,
this handicapping them somewhat.
