The Town Clock Movement

The voluntary subscriptions to the
town clock fund at the banks have not
progressed to any apprcciable extent.
This is not because our people are not
interested in the movement, for they
ARE doing lot Of talking-thcy are
just waiting for committee to cali
around with subscription, and we
understand that they will shortly be
accommodated.
The County Court has under inspect.
ion plans for tower to the Court House
in which the clock will be placed.
The plan is a handsome one, and will
add beauy and sta,eliness to that struc-
lure-make il look more like n modern
public building. Every town Of import
ance has its town clock, and Farming
ton ought not to lag in this matter.
The delightful melo drama of
ashore Acres" to be given at the
Opera House next Tuesday evening by
home talent, is for the benefit of the
town cleck enterprise. The expense
of putting on the play is small, and
nearly every dollar taken in for seats
will 60 10 the clock fund. Other plays
may be given for the same purpose,
but we cannot depend alone upon the
time and labor of our home talent to
do it all. Send in your subscriptions to
the local banks, and don't wait for the
substitution committee to call nronnd.
