We can recall the time when but one person in town kept geese, the late Simeon Williams Now several of our new residents keep f1ocks of geese and ducks, Anton Wostrel, near the Hill, having handsome birds of that ilk.
 Ethan c. Ely of Longmeadow, Mass. once the owner of the late Charles P. Ryder property on ths Hill here, and who used to be 8 frequent visitor here, died last Thursday, sud denly, at his home of heart disease. He was Fl years of age and highly esteemed old school gentleman.
 "There are those, by nature poets, philosophers, prophets and heroes. who have been shut in by artificial needs and made to toll for things that do not satisfy them because those who depend upon them have so many artificial wants. Sometimes they say to themselves, What a beautiful world this would be if we only had time to enjoy it.
 Anton Zemena now owns and oc- cupies the place formerly known as the Rev. Hubbell Loomis- Rev. Addi- son Parker Jerome Holt.N. s. Marcey- George Snow Winfield Slater place. This farm used to cut good crop of hay, as we know by experience, as it was in our care when it was in the hands of the commissioner of the Con- necticut school fund.
 In common with other towns in the state, there were many absentees at the polls election day. AS we under stand it, Representative elect George A. Oosgrove was slashed little for telling the truth at the last election for town officers, but he got there all the same. Had the dissatisfaction become apparent to some voters earlier in the day the candidate would not have run quite so far behind his ticket, perhaps.
 We are informed that there are some fourteen Bohemian families now in town. It must be an interesting task to teach the children of these foreigners in the various school dis tricts. We were much pleased with the progress made in that line in one of our town districts which we vis- ited recently. She thought that the writing, map drawing, etc., was ex- cellent work. Certainly all these children, those we come in contact with, are "up and coming" young folk.
 We guess that now women will lock their doors more, since the news of the shocking murder of Mrs. Henry Williams was heralded about. She was washing dishes, it seems, the same as the Somersville woman was at the time of her atrocious murder. It will be remembered that in the latter case the supposed murderer died protesting his innocence. The hus- band of this woman in the Holland case, just over the line from this town, is the youngest son of the late Simeon Williams, his mother being an Ellington Charter.

Freeman F. Patten, who was last week elected state treasurer, is one oi Stafford s favorite sons, and his towns people are pleased with the splendid vote he received for state treasurer. In the towns where he is best known MT. Patton ran ahead of his ticket, and with one or two exceptions got the largest vote in the state. A sketch of MT. Patten was run in The Press at the time he was nominated for treasurer, and he has since added to his prestige by winning very de- cided victory in state contest.

wool fell upon poor market in this

than anything offered for some time
past, there was nothing doing in the
market this morning.
Buyers offered from 1874 to 1917
