CLIFFORD G. CURTIS

This community was deeply saddened by the sudden death of Clifford G. Curtis, who passed away at the Bridge port hospital, on Saturday, August 31, aged 24. MT Curtis was thrown from his wagon while in Bridgeport and hit on his head fracturing his skull and was taken to the Bridgeport hospital where he underwent an operation but they were unable to save him. The accident was caused by the breaking of one of the shaft irons which caused the horse to run, throwing him out. The funeral was largely attended on Tues day afternoon, September 3, at 2 o'clock from the home of his parents, MT and Mrs Nathan B. Curtis, Rev MT Nc Dermott officiating. The burial was in the Nichols cemetery MT Curtis leaves to mourn his loss, besides his wife. a father and ..mother, brothers and sisters; also large circle of friends here and in Bridgeport. The family have the deep sympathy of the whole community.

AN ENJOYABLE ENTERTAIN
 MENT.

The entertainment for the benefit of the schoolhouse on the Hill was held on Tuesday evening in the Baptist church and was we'll attended by very appre- ciative audience The church was dec orated with many flags and bunting. The children, about 25 in number, were seated in circle upon the plat form, who with the flags presented a picture than which nothing is so dear to the American heart. Our children and our flag come first and demand our best love. All the children did excep- tionally well in the recitations and songs Space would hardly allow sep arate mention. Our thanks are dne to Mrs Randolph Bradley of Bedding who sang two beautiful solos, with very fine voice. Also Arthur Sherwood of Easton, Misses Edith Fairchild, Mabel Hayes and Ada Fields gave most enter esing and pleasing recitations. They were heartily encored and responded to the calls. Mir French, who is deal CT in the famous Edison photographs, furnished fine instrument and large supply of the latest records which were interspersed throughout the concert and added greatly to the pleasure of the evening. He has a fine selection constantly on hand and is ever ready to show their merit After the enter tainment cake and ice cream were served in the parlors of the church. Nearly $25 was netted for the school house.

HOUSE CLEANING IN FALL.
Cellar Is One important Point to BE
Considered.

The house does not get so dirty
during the summer that a general up
heaval is necessary for fall house
cleaning, though there is one place
where the greatest attention must be
given and that is in the cellar. Damp
days, together with the decaying vege.
tables and fruits stored in the cellar
and the unavoidable dirt which is GER
tain to accumulate, makes it really
necessary to hang up a red light in
that apartment unless the cellar is
properly cleaned during the fall.
OFTEN the cleanest house will have
cellar in the most disrepu1able con
dition with spoiled fruits vegetables
and The like. making it a hotbed Of
diseases. Have the cellar walls swept
and literally whitewashed, clean the
floor and sprinkle with lime. Every,
box cupboard and boarding place
should be thoroughly cleaned with hot
water and soap. If there is any per.
ceptible dampness, the cellar should
be aired, if possible, and often this
can be overcome by burning a small
gas or oil stove in the cellar for one
day. No difference how nicely one
may prepare canned fruits and pre-
serves, If the cellar is in damp con
dition everything will mold and in
many cases sour and spoil One days
work, even though it be arduous la
Dor, Will save the summers work
represented in the canned fruits, jel-
lies, etc.
