 Salisbury folks who have ice houses are wondering why, when this uni verse was built, lake was not located near this village. They are now com. pelled to get their ice from the lake with the big name over near Bakeville and it is an expensive, laborious task It does seem as if some public spirited citizen with plenty of pocket money might buy lake, locate it where it would be handy and then give it to us.
 Mrs. Ada Spur Jones, aged 52, a resi- dent of this village, died on Sunday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. k. C.. Holmes, in Torrington. where she has been visiting for several weeks. She leaves her husband, David K. Jones, and two daughters, Mrs. Holmes. of Torring- ton, Mrs. Woodruff, who is abroad, and a son. Perry Jones, of Torrington. The body was brought here Tuesday and the funeral held at the Congregational l Church,
 A number of local ice houses have not been entirely filled and the owners thereof have been on the anxious seat for a number of days. Arrangements were made by some to get the ice from Twin Lakes and have the same shipped hero by train but it was found that the cakes there were being cut too large for use in ordinary refrigerntors therefore | Hon. D. T. Warner and one or two others will probably have ice hauled by teams from the lakes op Mount Riga although it Is a six-mile jaunt. Later. Arrange ments were finally made to obtain Twin ! Lakes ice.
 On Thursday evening social was held at the Chapinville school house for the benefit of the Chapinville church. A party of young people from this village were in attendance and made the 1 journey on foot, the distance being four and one-half miles. We haar that ther appetites increased so remarkably dur. ing the walk that those in charge of the soclal decided that next time the Sails bury delegation appears at one of these | gatherings, they must state whether they came by team or on foot before the price to be charged for their supper can be decided upcn.
 A city woman was heard to remark, the other day, that during the three weeks she had been here she gained ten pounds in weight. This speaks well for our climate or the provender served by her landlady or both but, for pity y's sake, don't let this become known outside or ! persuade any portly city boarder of the feminine persuasion to come here to spend the summer. Just imagine l60 pound city woman coming here July remaining until October 1, gaining at this rate and going back home weighing 200 pounds. Such prospect would scare away almost anyone, who is in- clined to take on avoirdupois.
 In Torrington they place in glass case ill the postoffice corridor. mail that IS not properly addressed, lacks postage or for some other reason cannot be for warded. It is put III this case in the hope that the writer will sec it and sup ply the deficiency so that the missive may go on its way. Among the postals now in that case. says the Torrington Register is one on which Hazel k. W. '" writes to Miss Amelia B. Thorpe, of Salisbury, that it is Showing in Tor rington tonight, "b but Hazel put on no stamp and it may be that strawberri, s will be ripe before Miss Thorpe hear about the snow storm in Torringtou un. l less she is constant reader of The 1 Register"
 We believe that there is, in this town, church situation quite unique. At Chapinville the church is used by the people of various denominations ard the pastors ill this vicinity preach there in turn. The story goes that the edifice was, many years ago, built as a Metho- dist church and that services were reg ularly held there for many years. As the membership decreased, the services were held irregularly and the building was finally much in need of repairs. l When the Scoville family moved to that community, they caused the building to be put in good condition and it is largely l through the influence of that family, and the descendants thereof, that services have been held there since with more or less regularity.
