 Wilbur Bartram is establishing quite , reputation as a fisherman. The other day he caught string of the finney ones in Nudge Pond that aroused the eavy of the local disciples of Izaak Walton. The Sharon firemen will have a place in the line when the parade starts next Monday at the tiremen's tournament in Millerton. The Sharon bows will be headed by their band and will make every effort to look their prettiest on this occasion.
 Many of the beautiful rigs seen daily on our (Millerton) streets come from Sharon. Sharon is IT more than ever. Eighty to one hundred people at the Sharon Inn and fifty to sixty at the Taghkanic, besides all the cottages and summer home reSidents.-Telegram

 Another of the landmarks of Sharon, now in the possession of a city man, to | be remodeled, repaired and made more attractive, is the Barr place, near the soldiers monument. The work of mak- ] ing the changes will be begun as soon as 1t Is possible to get the plans in the de- sired shape and as soon as the contractors who are to do the work can get their paraphernalia in readiness.
 The annual fair of St. Bernard s Church was held yesterday afternoon and evening. In the afternoon the | ladies sold ice cream, cake, fancy articles and other good things, and in the eve ming the light fantastic toe was tripped to the music of Turner's orchestra. It was we'll attended and the receipts will materially increase the funds in the church treasury. Father Smith was not able to say this morning just how much the church will realize from the event, as there were a number of precinct" 7" yet to hear from.

 One of the modern improvements to which the people of Sharon took kindly and quickly is electric lighting. Their residences and places of business are well equipped by this method of illumination and the Berkshire Power Company is giving them excellent service. It is both safe and reliable and we are informed that the number of lights ill operation here is greater than that of Norfolk, which is larger village and which viii | lage considers itself quite some" as d summer resort. During the winter sea- son, when electricity is used only by the all-the-year residents, Sharon must yield the palm to Norfolk, but it regains it when the summer season opens.
 We heard a man kicking about the town the other day. We can see no ex- cuse for any man to live in this town if he does not like it. If you have no word of commendations to say for your town, it's institutions or people, emigrate. You won' stop the town clock by going away. The church bells will have the same musical ring, the little dogs will play just as well, and the fresh air, bright sunshine and sparkling water will have the same healthy properties. Speak a good word for your town As well as your neighbor if you can; if you cannot, don t ever enlarge on their faults. If you have become thoroughly disgusted, move away; go somewhere where things will suit you.
