Connecticut western news., 1907-05-09

On the night of the 3rd of May, after brief illness following very great bereavement. death removed from our number here Mrs. Martha Brinton DeHart. How baff1ing it is to our thought to realize that she has gone! We recall her gentle, kindly face, her quiet. unassuming manner. She had been faithful and helpful member since her removal to our village, and there are none to whom this chorus brought more joy and satisfaction than to her. She loved the ministry of song, and this pure and beautiful music minis tered abundantly to the thirst of her soul. We share with our fellow mem Der the great bereavement which has befallen him.
 These who are now silent here have gone to ''join the choir invisible of the immortal dead" They have sung with us here; may we sing with them there
 "From thy love as father,
 o Lord, teach us to gather
 That Life will conquer death;
 They who seek things eternal
 Shall rise to light supernal
 On wings of lowly faitb."

Resolutions of Respect

At the meeting of the Choral Society Tuesday evening it was voted to place the following upon the records of the Society.
 1tThe Canaan Choral Society cherishes the peculiar ties that bind it's members together and records with sorrow that death has twice visited us in these re- cent days.
 On the afternoon of tho twentieth of April after long and painful illness, borne with great and unspeakable for titude, Miss Annetta O'Brien Dunning was taken from this world which she had found so beautiful, to the beautiful world on high. Miss Dunning was one of the most enthusiastic supporters of this chorus at it's inception, an active member until compelled by ill health to forgo that pleasure, and until the end a most loyal friend and honorary member. Though constantly thwarted by the limi- tations of the body, her spirit was ever aggressively interested in all that made for the refinement of our village life. She found the world of the beautiful very real and she led many another in- to it's blessed gates.

REJECT BIDS
ON new ROAD

The Levy Court this morning re-
ceived two bids for constructing a new
road between Taylors Bridge and the
Iron Bridge in Blackbird Hundred, but
each of them was rejected because of
being excessive.
The court has advertised on three
occasions for bids for constructing
the road. but not until today were any
bids FOR the work received. They were
from c. j. Horrigan, whose bid was
s3s,sSs, and from Theodore f. Harsch
whose bid was S37750 The new road
is TO be As miles long and as there
is only $4,000 appropriated for its
building. the court was compelled to
reject the bids.
Mr.. Harsch, the road builder, who
was in court, explained that the bids
were high because contractors would
not guarantee TO deliver crushed stone
TO the locality by water this year.
He. therefore. had figured the trans
portation of the stone at railroad rates,
and the second cost of hauling it seven
miles across country TO the place
where needed. Mr Harsch suggested
that the court ask for bids on the
work in January. when the road can
be built for $4,000 less than IL can
be built for now.

He knew too much about the explosion.
That's why he is missing"
The sailors would offer no further ex-
PLANTATION. Lynch at once sent for the

NO VACATION
FOR DR.. BARNES

Because Of the refusal Of the Medi-
cal Council to grant a license for a
substitute hysician TO look after his
practice while away DR.. Harry ID.
Barnes probably will get no vacation
this summer. and WIN have TO remain
home TO look after his own practice.
Just why the Medical Council should
single out Or. Barnes and decline 10
grant a temporary license for sub
sttute for him is puzzling many per-
soma
The result Of the Medical Councils
attitude Is that DIR. Barnes will be de-
prived Of a trip abroad TO take post
graduate study at a medical college
there during his vacation. The man he
desired TO substitute for him is a resi-
dent Of Pennsylvania, a graduate phy-
sician and registered under the laws OF
that state. The Medical Council can
issue temporary licenses for non-resi-
dents, and has done so for other ply
sicians. but tho application for a sub
stitute for Dr. Barnes was not granted
DR. Barnes says he was told by DR.
Peter w .Tomlinson, secretary Of the
Medical Council. that the reason 2
temporary license would not be issued
was because Of the advertising meth
DDS Of DIT Barnes. When DR. Tom
linson was asked about that he re-
piled: Il told DR.. Barnes that the rea-
son the Medical Council declined to
issue tho temporary license was be-
cause OF his methods"
The action Of the Medical Council
in no way affects the standing Of DR.
Barnes as a practitioner. He is H.
censed and registered, and is continu-
ing his practice as usual.

the dollar was on exhibition. 1t cana

That's taffy," said one Of the
clerks. "No Il isn't" calculated the
dollar, "and if Mr.. snellenburg would
just give me three minutes Of his
precious time / win convince him
that my missionary work which ]

The hubbub in the store attracted
the attention of Mr.. snellenburg. who
emerged from his office. only to be

"Of course I do" said Mr. Snellen-

on the back amid words of approval
