Miss Bertha Lyon Young is now at
her uncle, George l.. Lyons, engaged
in chicken raising, hoping that the
outdoor employment will improve
her impaired health.
Honesty and capability are always
sure to meet with a reward. Miss
Mabel A. Cummings has been pro-
NOTED in her department at the
Northfield, Mass, girls seminary.
Leverett G. Merrick and wife of
Bristol passed over the Hill last
Thursday to Lincoln Whites, West
ford, ON an automobile trip. On
their return through here they stopped
at Mrs. George E. Robbins.
Robert P. Pratt having resigned as
mail carrier R. f. D. route No. 2,
Tolland side, Frank Joslin is an ap-
plicant for the position. The first
named goes to Providence, R. l., the
first of next month to accept posi-
tion in an express office there.
Nearly every one is talking about
there being but three perfectly fair
days in July. If we mistake not,
there were some ten days of good hay
weather in the early part of the month.
A perfectly fair day" from sunrise
to sunset, or rather a series of such, is
something of an anomoly in any
season of the year.
Miss Alice Glazier, daughter of the
late Gennison Glazier, native of
this town and cousin of Dea. Dwight
J. Glazier of West Stafford, is living
in her old home in Detroit, Mich.
Her sister is now quite low from
paralysis. She preferred to care for
her father and mother during their
lives to having home of her own.
The South Wilmington Watch Hill
and Block Island annual excursion
taking place on the 18th, the union
Sunday school picnic has been post
poned one week, and will be held
Saturday, the 25th. The day is
definitely fixed now, and an enjoyable
time is expected. The tables will be
set on the lawn of the Baptist church
under the trees.
1t is thought by some people that
the late Elisha Adelbert Still of the
American Thread company left a
fortune of a million dollars. AS we
have previously stated, wife sur
wives him. A Hartford Courant
article says that the deceased left
no will, and we also gather from that
article that there are six living broth
ers and sisters, besides other indirect
heirs. Any way, we hope some of the
property will come to Wilmington.
The topic at the Congregational
church Sunday morning was "The
wonderful work of the grace of ouI
Lord Jesus Christ" founded on the
last verse of the new testament, Rev.
% :21. The pastor announced that
vacation had been offered him until
the first Sunday in September, which
he probably would accept. The meet
ing house will be closed for the next
two Sundays, but the chapel will be
open for the Y. P. S. O. e. meet
ings.
