The second annual meeting of the stockholders of the Newtown Water Company was held at the Probate Office, Saturday evening, at 7.30 o'clock, for the purpose of electing di- rectors flor the ensuing yearsand to hear the report of the treasurer. $50 odd out of the 800 shares of stock was voted. The entire board of directors was reelected and are as follows: C.. B. Taylor, w. H. Hubbell, L. c. Nor w. J. Beecher, D! c. Peck, A. J. Smith and William A. Leonard. The re- port of the treasurer exclusively proved that the company for the first year of it's existence to be in a very satisfactory condition, and showed that on the first day of January 1908, there was only S25, uncollected water rents, and about 50 patrons; that the company had paid this year all the operating expenses, including the ln- terest on the mortgage, and had run new line of pipe across Coles Hill at an expense of several hundred dollars; and all out of the earnings. This, for the first year, is considered to be doing very we'll indeed; and it is the opinion of the directors that the earnings for the year 1908 will warrant the pay ment of dividend within the year. At the close of the meeting of the stock holders, the directors met and elected the following officers for the year en- suing: President, c. B. Taylor; Vice President, D. c. Peck; treasurer. L. c. Morris; secretary. William A. Leon- ard; executive committee, consisting of three, Messrs Peck, Leonard and Smith. William B. Glover, superin- tendent.

THE T0YMAKERS. IAN, IDEAL
 MUSICAL ABSuRDlTY, SlEDAL-
 LY PLAYED.
 From the moment the curtain rises on "The Toymakers." the new musi- cal absurdity by Charles Felton Pid- gin, author of "the best New Eng land book ever written, "Quiney Ad- ans Sawyer" laughter is continuous and the piece gives unalloyed pleasure to all of the audience. It Is due at the Opera House on Friday evening, February IA. for one night only and unless all signs fail, seats are going to be at premium. "The Toymakers" is a pretty little story of an electric doll, brought to life through the medi- um of electricity and any number of screamingly funny things happen as result. The story is not so involved as to tire one, yet is thoroughly interest ing and holds the attention of the audi ence from the start. 'The Jollities" is brilliant company of comedians and eomediennes, singers and dancers and for the production of "The Toy makers" trey are bringingswith them all their own scenery and costumes. The scene is laid in typical old Eng fish toyshop. MT Pidgin's style is al- ready familiar to both book lovers and theatre-goers, through the enormous success of "Qunicy Adams Sawyer" both as a book and as a play. He has written "The Toymakers," originally as book and from it the play has been taken, so that this, too, will appeal to both book-lovers and theater-goers. Tickets are now on sale at Frank D. Soule's stationery store. I

WHAT DO YOU PAY FOR A HAT?

Some men think that they must pay $5. Many men don't, because they buy the Hawes at s3 and get just as good style and service as they would get Tn any $5 hat. Many men pay less than S3 for hat and we sell them good style hats at the prices that they want to pay. Yes, Sir. we are in the hat busi- ness and have big line of hats and caps of all kinds.

New Preston.
A WORD FOR THE NEW READING
 ROOM, s

Editor of The Newtown Bee: Your
 New Preston correspondent about two
 weeks ago noted the fact that an or
 ganization had been formed which shall
 be known as '"The New. Preston Read
 ing Room Association" Now. as an
 earnest advocate of this project we feel
 that something more on that subject
 should be sald through your paper, that
 its readers, especially those who have
 an interest in this little village may
 understand more fully about the mat
 ter. A. G. Caskey, the promoter of
 the scheme, has kindly offered to give
 all the monthly and weekly periodicals
 for the year 1908, commencing with
 the January issue. A suitable room
 has been procured in Pavilion hall free of charge, K. J. Hosford has generous ly offered to heat said room for the year, Edward P. Lyman donated oil ! for 1908. We could not help but feel by this unsolicited donation from him that he was imbibed with the spirit of his late father, Hon c. F. Lyman, who was first and foremost in his contribu- tions for every public good. Others, de- string their names withheld, gave the lamps. But with every new project I there are many incidental expenses and it is the purpose of the association to make the room as inviting and cheery as possible. Now the question arises, can it be maintained? And more po- tent one still, can we, as good citizens afford to loose Mir Caskey's offer? Can we afford to lose this opportunity of having in this village one place where every one, especially the young people, can meet and be surrounded by those influences, which can only be benefit intellectually and morally. No citizen should say, "I have no interest in the scheme" or that, "I am well supplied with reading matter in my own home" Others are not and it is just as much a duty, to place good stepping stones in the pathway of our young and thereby help to make them good citizens of this republic, as it was for our forefathers to found it. MT and Mrs Caskey are greatly interested in this project and we hope that it will meet with such generous support on the part of our cit izens, that we shall be able to state through your paper at very early date. "The New Preston Reading Room an assured success"
 Postmaster Hosford of New Preston desires to call attention to the practice of some patrons of rural de- livery of placing loose coins in their boxes each time they desire to dispatch letters instead of supplying themselves with postage in advance of their needs. This practice imposes undue hardship on rural carriers in removing loose coins from boxes and delays them on the service of their routes. The post master, therefore, urgently requests that patrons of rural delivery provide themselves and keep on hand a supply of stamps consistent with and in ad- vance of their needs. It is also very desirable that rural patrons place in their mail boxes small detachable cups of wood or tin in which to place coins, when necessary, in purchasing SUD- plies of stamps.
