 Men are at work today on the poles intended to hold the wires which will bring electricity from Bridgeport to our streets as far south as Southport. The poles are Icing smoothed and made ready for the cross pieces, and 1t is expected that in a week or two they will be placed in position ready for the electricians. Thus the old town is gradually accepting the im- provements which the times demand. Those who are in a position to know what is going on doubt the statement made a week ago that the State po- lice laid another trap to catch auto mobilists. That has been tried two or three times with such poor results it may be looked upon as certain that convictions under the law as it is at
 present will be very few and far be- tween.
 AS the will Of the late Mrs. Burr wakeman, formerly a resident of Southport, and who was reputed to be very wealthy, contained no bequests of a. public nature, and as no inven- tory of her estate has as yet been made, it's contents will not be made that Judge Perry is the executor. On Friday evening. the 21st. there will be an entertainment given by Yale
 University students. at Perry's hall for the benefit of Hope Chapel. This chapel is a part of the work carried on by the Congregational church of this town, and as it is in an outlay ing district, needs some outside sup port. Here is a good chance to do missionary work at home, and let the heather in foreign parts have a rest for a while. until they catch on. After a quite successful season the Inn has fh6an closed for in e
 summer. The intent of the Inn is to give the young men of Southport a re- spectacle place where they can spend
 leisure time, have games and some thing to eat. Many favorable comments are heard in town regarding the very handsome and unique fence which MT. KinseIla has caused to be erected at the foot | the back yards of the block of shops | in his mercantile row. The fence runs from Unquowa place to UnGuowa road, and leaves a driveway from one street to the other. It is a. tall. handsome. lattice work structurG put up in sec tions, and can be easily removed if it's owner should wish to do so. | Mrs. Andrews of Weston is visiting Mrs. Lewis Burr, her daughter. Mrs. Samuel Bulkley and sons are back from an extended visit to New York.
 At the last meeting of the Ladies' Union, at. the house of Mrs. Simeon Pease, some thirty guests were pres | ent.
 The apple, the dog wood, the cherry, and the red bush trees are now in full
 bloom, and if the not too busy folks | will get up with the sun and take a stroll through the fields and orchards | l-never mind the dew-they will see and hear much that is beautiful and charming.
