SURPRISED VISITORS
They Don't Find S6o.ooo Banks in
 Every Village of 1900 Population


 Travelling men and others who visit Canaan express great surprise when told that the entire capital stock of 50,000 to 'The Canaan National Bank" has been subscribed in and near Ca naan. All say they never heard of a parallel instance in village with not more than 1900 inhabitants. It is true. nevertheless, and shows conclusively that Canaan is a wideawake village that "does things" And there is more to the bank story. Those who solicited the subscriptions to the bank stock know parties they could 20 to t,-day and obtain additional subscriptions of several thousands of dollars. in fact there is not the slightest doubt that a $75,O00 bank could be established here but Canaan don t need it, not ndkv any way. A S50.000 bank is large enough for all purposes and will be for some time to come. No doubt there are other banks in this section of Litchfield county. and even over the border m York state where the effects of the with drawal of Canaan accounts win be felt. But let them not misunderstood the sit- uation. There is not a Canaanite but has the most friendly feeling toward these institutions and had it been possi- ble for any one of them to move to Ca naan, no move toward organizing the Canaan bank would have been made but tine day has arrived when Canaan busi- ness men and others feel that a banking institution in Canaan is an imperative need and for this reason. and none other, "The Canaan National Bank" is to open its doors.

IN STAGE COACH DAYS
Folklore Story of the Old Sheffield
 Plain Hotel.

Folklore Story of the Old Sheffield
 Plain Hotel.
 Many years ago, probably 75. in the days of the stage coach, there stood on Sheffield plain a famous hotel, conducted by man named Busch. It WAS here that every coach from Boston to Albany via Hartford. made stop. After the death of Busch, his wife felt unequal to the task of fcontinuing the business, there fore disposed of it to man named Hare. When he assumed proprietorship he dis covered that the sign which had been attached to the building for years was missing, He appealed to Mrs. Busch, who either would not or could not give him any information as to it's where abouts, and suggested that he put up another. This he finally was forced to do and the new sign bore the following inscription:
 "A Busch once hung ....
 Upon sign
 Where rum was sold
 And likewise, wine
 And rich egg nog And watered grog
 To make the traveller feel incog But now, alas, .. ...
 The Busch is dead
 And in its place
 Is Hare, instead" The old building still stands but has not been used as a hostelry for number of years.

A WOMAN IEWELER.
Falls Village Lady Continues her
 Fathers Business.


 About three years ago J. B. Cspron the Falls Village jeweler passed to his re- ward. He was the proprietor of 8 jewelry store with substantial patron age in that village. His daughter, Mrs. Hart, for whom the business possessed a fascination, took her fathers place at the repair bench and so rapidly did she in crease in efficiency that at the present time she is able to do all the ordinary watch and clock repairing that is brought to the little store while the extremely delicate and complicated work goes to a friendly jeweler in neighboring town. She is an adept at engraving coffin plates with the engraving machine which was placed in tho store a few years ago. ,
 Owing to the resourcefulness of Mrs. Hart, Falls Village retains one of its all too few business places which would or dinarily have been closed.
