To-day in New York city Miss Theo-
dora Fairchild, daughter of Rev. and
Mrs. Frank 8. Child, will graduate
from the Roosevelt hospital as a. train
ed nurse. Miss Bessie Child and Mas
ter Roger Sherman Child went down
to the metropolis to see their, sister
graduate. Miss Child has been select
ed as one of a number of the most

! is a great and well-deserved compl-
ment.

Two of the addresses given a few
days ago at the meeting of the local
Grange, which attracted attention,
were delivered by Rev. MI. Country
man, chaplain of the House of Repre-
sentatives, and Rev. Mr.. Oluastead, the
new pastor of the Greenfield Hill Con-
gregational church. Mr.. Olmstead is
his theme was farm life in Massachu-
sets. Mrs. Alfred Whitaker read a
paper on the farmer who is up-to-date,
and music was given by Olive and
| John Teeple, an American said to
be from New Jersey, and a man who
goes about the country looking for
work, was brought before Justice
Waken1an on Thursday noon charged
with stealing some $12 worth of car
penter's tools from Mr.. Acker, the as
sessors and Mr.. r. c. Hitchcock one of
the town auditors. The tools were ia
ken some three weeks ago, and were
traced to a pawn shop on Water street
in. Bridgeport. The defendant claimed
that he had been drinking and that he
did not know what he was about. The
owners of the tools paid $3.50 to re-
deem them. Teeple, a man of 45 or so

Charles James is having a brick en-
CINE house erected back of his place of
business, on Pequot avenue, where he
will install a steam engine, said to be
used for the purpose of making ice
cream for the town and the boarders
at the beach.
The consensus of opinion in South
port is that Prof. Bowers, who has
for a number of years been the princi-
pal of the school, and has won the con-
fidence of the community and the at
fecticn of his pupils, will be sadly
missed, when he takes charge of the
Greenfield Hill school. Tt is under
stood that his transferrence is in the
nature of a promotion, as his salary
will be considerably larger in his new
position than it is at present.
