 St. Johns Turnip
 R. H. St. John of Danbury, the Old Well " cigar man, was i'll town last week and made THE NEWS a call. He was accompanied by score or more of children which he distributed about town. They're here yet, advertising the famous Danbury fair and when they've served their purpose will prob ably be framed as they are certainly at- tractive enough to warrant 1t. R. H. carries famous watch, so famous that the only day the storekeepers between here and Danbury are ever certain they have the correct time is whom he comes along and gives 1t to them. A rural Wanamaker- once because skeptical as to the reliability of the timepiece and asked the man of cigars if he knew his watch told the absolutely correct time. R. H. gasped in astonishment as the TO- liability of that "turnip" had never be- fore been questioned.

 Lewis Roraback Improving.
 Last week THE NEWS briefly alluded to the injury sustained Wednesday af- ternoon by Lewis, son of MT. and Mrs. J. Henry Roraback, as result of falling from his bicycle and striking his head on the sidewalk on West Main street. He was rendered unconscious until Sat urday. It was supposed that he was improving, but symptoms to the con- trary soon developed and it was decided that heroic measures, in the form of an operation, must be resorted to, and Dr. F. s. Dennis of New York, who was at his summer home in Norfolk, and Dr. Richardson of Pittsfield were summoned. Assisted by Dr. Lane of Great Bar rington and Dr. F. H. Lee of Canaan, they trepanned the skull, disclosing 2 fracture and the formation of serum. Dr. Dennis gave it as his opinion that had the operation not been performed, or had it been postponed, the result of the.injury would soon have proved fatal. The operation was entirely successful and gave almost instant relief to the little sufferer. He has now regained consciousness, and is doing nicely under the care of Doctors Lane and Lee and two trained nurses.
