George P. Bugbee has the use of
Mrs. Preston's horse, "Blahohe, for
the winter, where she will have good
care. Thus that Christmas present

Rev. Mr.. Flanders again preached
for the pastor in the Baptist church
Sunday, the subject being Having
Christ in your boat" founded on
John 6:21. Rev. DR.. Coates was
present and assisted in the service.
People are everywhere saying that
the Connecticut Baptists are fortunate
in securing the services Of two such
able evangelists for the state work
among the churches. Mr.. Flanders
is fluent speaker and fine singer
withal, while DR.. Coates, besides be-
ing a fine and effective speaker, has a
charming personality. The men are
both friendly and afEable in all their
intercourse. They go from here to
Bridgeport.
Lewis Harwood. one 0f willington's
old stock, who was born and raised in
the north part Of the town, Village
Hill district, died at his home, the
old Joshua Niles house, near the rail-
way station, Tolland sids. now owned
by the estate Of the late Judge W. D.
Holman, last week. He was not the
worst of men, by any means, and
many in later years who used to see
him daily, gave him no credit for the
intelligence and goodness he really
possessed. He was q man of much
native kindness, and was quick to
confess an error. He knew his weak
nesses and faults. and deplored them.
At last he has been gathered to his
fathers. Kindly neiRhbors cared for
him in his last sickness. Rev. Charles
w. Wolfe conducted the funeral SER
vices in the M. e. chapel, Tolland
side, last Saturday. The interment
took place in the east cemetery, Tol.
land. The deceased's father and
mother, when they lived in the north
part of the town, were prominent
members Of the local Baptist church.
Mr.. Harwood was in the neighbor-
hood Of eighty years of age. Years
ago he married daughter Of the late
Perry Potter. She, several children
and other relatives survive him. His
two sons were present at the funeral.
