The Reads.

The chaingang is now near Lees
vile, on Mr. Hallman's section, and
will put in work needed in that srd
other places before they depart for
other parts CT the county. The great
trouble is that people depend too
much on the gang and do not give
the roads proper work and attention on
their beats which would keep them
in much better travelling condition
and less complaint.

Miss Russell has had a varied and check cred career. When she was a mere girl she appeared in the title role of "Esmeralda." The play ran over two years, thanks to the indescriD- able charm of the actress whose methods were a total disregard of stage traditions. but whose fresh young womanhood completely won her audiences. Then followed her exquisiteiy beautiful performance Of Elaine" which was by far the best and most artistic work of this won- derful girl.

As a rule the volunteers ac- cept NJ. Berzac's challenge in a spirit of fun and enjoy being kicked about as much as those looking at them. but occasionally the original village cut-up gets out for an airing and proceeds to run the last number on the bill.
