Waureean House Decorations.
The work was started on Saturday
by Combies of decorating the Wau-
REGAIN house, and a good beginning
was made. The large building has
been handsomely trimmed with flags
and bunting, but the job has not as
yet been completed, there remaining
considerable to be done yet. A large
picture of Washington has been plac-
ed in the center Of the Broadway
front, while one of President Taft will
be placed on the Main street front. At
the Main street and Broadway corner
there is to be placed a large vertical
electric sign spelling Waurtgan. 1t

$50 Years for Norwich.
Norwich will celebrate her 250th an
niversary on July 4, 5 and 6, and has
obtained the promise of President Taft
to attend unless tariff business abso-
lutely prohibits his leaving Washing
ton at that date, which does not now
seem likely 1t will be old home week,
of course, and all her wandering sons
and daughters are invited to revisit the
mother of their numerous and sterling
tribe.
Norwich is justly proud Of herself
and her achievements. Her natural
advantages and artificial requirements
make her claim to the title of ''the
Rose of New England" more than an
idle boast. Not only will this be a
good time for the folks to come home
to Norwich, but those who have heard
of her and never seen her should take
the opportunity to visit the old town
when she is at her best.-WGterbury
Republican.
People Who Do Things.
Norwich is making great prepara-
lions for the celebration of its 25eth
anniversary. and the days on which
the exercises will be held-Julv 9Th
and 6th-promise to be full to the brim
with happenings. No more wideawake
city exists in Connecticut than Ner
wich, and its population has in its
makeup a great many people who do
things.-Stamford Bulletin.
EnVies the Small Boy.
On July 4, 5, Norwich is to have a
notable celebration. The event is the
250th anniversary of the founding of
the town and the 125th of the incor-
poration of the city. The careful ar
rangements made insure a successful
celebration. The invitations sent out
are models in both artistic -~esentation
and cordial greeting. 1t is evident that
everybody who visits the Rose of New
England on this occasion will be heart
lily welcomed and made to feel at home.
We rather envy the small boy of that
hustling city, A three days Fourth of
July does not come very often. Nor
witch will make the most of it, anc the
whole state wishes her joy.-Bristol
Press.
