SPRING NEWS FOR MEN.
FROM MEIGS & co.

Pee pie get tired of a dragged-out winter such as we're having this year. They long for signs of Spring. The only signs of spring that are yet in evidence are in the windows of Meigs & Co. s big store. There you will see plenty of Spring-like signs-Spring Derbys and soft hats in authoritative styles, spring neckwear and spring negligee shirts in the newest colors and patterns. And inside the store there's sprinkling of new arrivals in spring suits and overcoats. Meantime the cleanup of odds and ends of over coats and suits for men and boys goes on distributing many fine bargains where they will do most good. In the shoe section, all the new styles and feathers are shown in shoes and OK lords. All over the store there is a stirring of things which betokens the metamorphosis from winter to spring, now taking place; the betwixt-and between season when bargains are plentiful and the new styles attractive. A visit to the big store in Bridgeport will prove of interest and profit just now, for there are many new styles to See, and many good bargains te be picked up for little money.

HOW ONE GOOD WOMAN FIGURES IT
 OUT.
 To TEE BEE: l ask as special fa- vor to have the following article print ed in THn VIEWPOINT BEE, this week. The reason I write this wish the women of Newtown to know what they pay to the support of their town. Two of my neighbors helped in taking down the list in each district. I think 1t is a reasonably correct account. You will see that it also gives the number of women in each district who pay taxes (271). There Is also added in separate the estates of men, which in most cases belong to women. There IS total of mems estates, Al. l find according to list of taxes there are only 4OS men in Newtown who pay property tax. Now if I remember right, at the last election in Newtown there was vote of TOO. I have for a long time wished to have known how many poll taxes are collected in New town, and who pay them. There is no l mention made of any poll taxes col lected in the town report of 1906. w. J. Brew is generally accepted as good authority in Newtown politics. When asked the question:: Whether voter who pays no property or personal tax could vote without paying poll tax, '' w. J. Brew's opinion was that the vote would not be legal. According to male tax as listed, there must be some 300 men between the ages of 21 and 7C who ought to pay poll tax.
