there we're no lights at the end Of

SHARON VALLEY

"The other day." says writer for THE NEWS, II had occasion to go from Shar- on Station to Sharon. The day was cold, the snow was being blown about and, altogether it was as bleak and dis mai as one often sees it. A short dis tance from Sharon we found small settlement which "Dave" the stage driver told us was Sharon Valley. Here was typical country store viewed from the outside, and the inside was none the less typical if we were to judge from the glimpses of 1t we obtained as the s'old- est inhabitant," the village lads and las sies and now and then a thrifty house. wife in quest of material for dinner, opened one side of the double doors
 We sat i'll the open sleigh while the driver took a mail sack inside the build ing when the postoffice is also s'kept. l" AS we waited we listened to our chatter ing teeth and tried to sink our heads an- other notch into our overcoat collars. Across the road from the store stands a cozy, comfortable cottage. From this building emerged comedy dame, arms barred to the elbows, no head covering except that which nature provided, and with her mouthful of clothespins A basket of clothes she deposited on the ground. For ten minutes we watched her hang those clothes on line, appar- ently not minding the cold bit. and she was still at 1t as we rode on toward Shar- on. And as we gave another shiver, pulled down our caps and tried to stretch our coat collars another inch, we wondered how she did it without freez- ing as stiff as did the garments she fastened to the line"

Twenty-one people of Sharon enjoyed a sleigh-ride to Millerton last Wednes. day evening and enjoyed fine supper at the Barton House.
 The play "Mr. Bob," was given in the Casino Friday evening to large and enthusiastic audience. A dance and supper followed the play. They cleared $7455.
 Representative Harris introduced 8 bill in the legislature last week validat. ing irregularities and omissions ill as. sessment list of Sharon fire district. It was referred to the judiciary committee. Twenty two of Dave Duffy's friends enjoyed pleasant four-horse sleighride to Millerton, where they were highly entertained by MT. and Mrs. J. L. Bar ton at the Barton House. The young people danced, sang and played cards after partaking of bountiful repast.
 The Womans Home Missionary Soci- ety of the Congregational Chu1ch will meet i'll the chapel this afternoon at 3 o'clock. The subject of the meeting is "Home Missionary Opportunities ID Sharon for 1907." Short papers or talks will be given by Mrs. Knight, Mrs. In gram and Mrs. Hotaling. "What we need ill the Sunday School" will be dis cussed by MT. Gillette, who will be the guest of the afternoon.
 The marriage of Edward Tompkins and Mary Powers took place in St. Bernard s Church last Wednesday. Rev. Father T. B. Smith performed the ceremony. Miss Anna Culligan was the maid of honor and Misses Edith Sperring. Molly Mcdonald and Bessie Sullivan ushers. A Wedding Breakfast was served at the home of the bride after which the newly welded pair left for brief tour to diff ferent points in Connecticut.
 We find that THE NEWS does not al- ways reach Sharon Thursday evenings. We are unable to account for this fact as the papers are mailed regularly each Thursday morning. The trouble is not at the office of publication but some- where between Canaan and Sharon. And not only has there been delay in newspaper mail but in the recent past letters containing news matter, post marked p. m. at Sharon, have not reached Canaan until the following day at o'clock. We fail to understand why it should require 24 hours for such letters to traverse this distance.
 The ability of Robert J. Livingstone to handle the drawing pencil is evi- denced by the maps which hang on the wallsof Clarence H. Eggleston's drug store. These maps are adapted from a map of Sharon drawn in 1853. Along the edges are drawings of the residences of R. s. Moves, M. L. Brownell, s. J. Prindle, O. Sears harness and trunk manufactory (now the residence of Lawrence Van Alstyne,) the Ellsworth Congregational church, John Cotton Smith, Sharon, Ansel Sterling (now Mo Clurg) Hiram Week, 0. 6 R. B. Cole, David Gould (now Lyman Rhoades) Saml E. Everett, Ellsworth, and the Congregational church, Sharon. In ad- dition to reproducing the old map MT. Livingstone has added the village streets with the present buildings indicated According to this map, the township population is 2000, its area 5754 miles and 1t contains 135 miles of roads. The reproduction is good piece of work and attracts much attention.
