The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-10-25
FAIRFIELD

The great gospel wagon spent but | one night in town. and then proceeded towards New York State. At an early | hour in the morning MT. Dalling had dragged it slowly along well towards | Westport. A meeting was held in the open on Friday evening which attract | ed a good sized and quiet audience. MT. Truett, in a clerical garb, played l upon the cornet also a parlor organ, and he threw pictures upon a screen | illustrating texts of scripture. His address was we'll received. He said | he began the wagon business last March, and that it cost him $1,20O. l He had not only paid for the outfit but l had collected $500 in clear money be- | sides. The wagon has three rooms, a library, a kitchen and a sleeping room. Mrs. Truett sang several solos and has a good voice. A handsome collec- tion was taken up, and some time in the early morning the wagon depart | ed.
 After considerable hunting on the 1 part of the constables, one Tekla Szcenger of Southport was brought in to Justice Wakemans office charged | with breach of the peace and abusive language. Attorney Clitus King ap- peared for the pros secution. The plain tiff was Mrs. Kelu Czerwonka who l said that Tekla nnocked her, and ac- I cused her of stealing hir chickens, Ioo1A OA these things for granted without any | positive Knowledge. The root of the whole matter appeared to be that Tekla's rooster had the bad habit of sneaking off into Mrs. Czerwonka's s hen house to sleep nights. The case was nolled on the payment of costs. As far as heard from nobody is talk ing about building a new town hall. The present one answers the purpose very well, especially since electric icybt tC hay iyofr | town hall should be built like the one in Westport, field stones would be used for the walls. The suggestion is made | that each man and woman who wants deposit it in big heap on the village green. This will show which way the wind is blowing
