GREENWICH WANTS GAS.
Connecticut Railway and Lighting
 Company Says No.


 ''It is now eleven years since a fran chise was given the Connecticut Rail- way and Lighting company for sup plying Greenwich with gas, and still the village has not this much needed commodity, without which the growth of the town is much impeded.
 Now that another session of the legislature is soon to come it is we'll to look up the matter once again and see if something cannot be accomplish ed toward getting gas put in here. There are representatives to elect and men should be selected for these posi- tions who will make a fight with the end in view that Greenwich shall have what it wants and needs-gas. Then committees might be appointed to wait upon the committee of the legislature to further this demand and either in duce the company with the franchise to go ahead or leave the field open to others. ."-Greenwich Graphic.

FROST IS NEEDED.
Snapsf Weather Will Drive Chest
 nuts On the Trees.

Those who like to go chestnuting are looking forward for a frost, for the present warm weather will not open the burrs. There is no use going for chestnuts until the air is frosty. The ideal chestnut weather is frost, foi- lowed by wind and rain; the frost serv- ing to open the burrs and the rain and wind to knock the nuts from the trees. It is useless to go for chestnuts near the city for the small boy has already gone up into the trees and clubbed off all the burrs.
 But those who care to go off into the country will be rewarded for their trouble with a good bagful of chest nuts
