The annual income from this fund amounts to about $S5 and is available for the care of the donors lots and the monuments on them. There are a num- Der of the lot owners who yearly pay the sexton a certain sum for taking care of their respective lots. This arrangement, of course, gives portions of the cemetery well kept look, but it also gives it, as whole, & ragged and ill kept appear ance. It is to remedy this existing con- dition that this statement is made and it is suggested by the directors that as many as will shall sign an agreement to and willing to give for the purpose of having the entire cemeteey take on an appearance uniform with the, at present. best kept parts. A large portion of this cemetery is now occupied by the graves of those who have not relative or friend left to keep their graves green. As
 above stated, there is now about $85 per year available for this purpose, but at
 least twice that amount will be neces- sary. If more is subscribed than is needed for moving the grass it will be used for grading rough places and in other ways keeping "God's Acre" beaut- iful Such improvements as the present financial condition of the association will warrant are now under way and al
 though not yet completed have caused much favorable comment from all inter ested Tn this cemetery. The present superintendent has the best interests of
 the cemetery at heart, and has given freely most of his time and energy for badly needed improvements. He has proved to be the right man in the right place and all subscribing to the badly needed fund may rest assured the money will be wisely and economically spent
 The idea of the directors is that all who now pay certain sum to the sexton yearly for the care of their lots subscribe this amount or more to the association Subscriptions may be sent to I. N. Bar tram, superintendent, or to Lawrence Van Alstyne, treasurer. The object could not be more worthy and it is hoped the response will be liberal and immed- fate. Simply write something similar to the following form, sign it, and en- close to either of the gentlemen named above.

 "All Stars" Were Eclipsed
 The "All Stars" of Sharon, a newly organized ball nine, managed by MT. Pardee, went over to Cornwall Bridge last Saturday to annihilate the farmers nine of that section. They returned sadder but far wiser men, the score be- ing 4-6 in favor of the farmers team. It is reported that the manager departed for New Haven before lthe game was finished. It isn't nescessary to make this item any more conspicuous than can be helped.
 Entertainment at the T Taghkanic
 The entertainment given at the "Tagh- kanic" last Friday evening was voted a huge success by all who attended. Funny and pathetic selections were equally we'll rendered by Miss Sadie Ryan and Miss Jennie Dibble. The reef tations were, as always, excellent. The spacious parlor and dining room were both utilized for dancing, which was kept up until nearly two o'clock. Cake and coffee were served and between dances a gentleman present sang coon songs in manner to shame many pro- fessionals. Every one of the large nnm- Der who attended are earnestly hoping that this entertainment will be repeated or similar one given in the near fu- ture.
 Burying Ground Association
 The directors and superintendent of the Sharon Burying Ground Association, being directly responsible for the good or ill appearance of Hillside Cemetery, believe a public statement of the re- sources that are available for it's care is due the the friends and relatives of those who are buried there. The funds which had accumulated from the sale of lots. were, few years ago, expended for draining the grounds and for the building of the driveways necessary to conveniently reach the different sections. A fund. amounting at present to S2l12:- 59, has been left in trust with the asso- ciotion and is at interest in the Farm ington Savings Bank. The donors of the fund are ..
