SUFFERING ENDED

 Trouble of IA Years

And best of all The Lee & Osgood Go. guarantees it to cure you or your money back. Read this:
 T have been a great sufferer for IA years, everything I ate gave me heart burns. I have never been able to get anything that would give me any re- lief until friend of mine insisted on my taking Afi-o-na. I took a 50 cent box and l believe I am entirely we'll" F. NJ. Bryant, Newman, Ga, June 5th.
 Mi-o-na is not a nostrum; it is the prescription of a celebrated physician who is a specialist in stomach diseases.
 One clever woman calls Mi-o-na the Sunshine Prescription because it changed her from a miserable, nervous dyspeptic into bright, healthy, happy woman in few weeks.
 These little Mi-o-na tablets are surely wonder workers. They abso- lutely cure indigestion whether acute or chronic.
 They stop belching, gas in stomach, and heaviness, in few minutes. Dis tress after eating vanishes as if by magic when one or two little Mi-o-na tablets are swallowed

Ninety-six pupils of the Greeneville sTAlnmar school on Thursday morning received honor certificates, bearing the slgnature of Governor Frank B. Weeks, for perfect attendance during the last school year. This number means 20 per cent. of the average at tendance. The certificates were dis tributed in the assembly hall by Prin- ctpal Clifton H. Hobson, after a few well deserved words of commenda- ton.
 The attendance last year was very nigh, breaking all previous records, and Principal Hobson is justly proud of the fine showing of his school. State Agent w. s. Simmons, who in the course of his duties looks after at tendance statistics in this end of the state, regarded the attendance so un- usual that he brought it to the notice of the state board of education through its secretary. Charles D. Hine of Hart ford
 About 500 certificates have been giv- en out in eastern Connecticut, making Greensville's share nearly one-sixth.
 For the matter of attendance and in other departments as we'll there are very few schools in the state far ahead of the Greeneville grammar school

Avery c. Smiths "reminiscences in The Bulletin of September 29, of steam navigation on the Thames, bring to light letter written fifty years ago by my father, who had been we'll known citizen of Norwich, writes w. c. Gilman, giving true story of a little steamboat that ran between Norwich and New London about the year 1S40. Following is an extract from the letter:
 Dear Marco: Your description of the passage up the Connecticut river from Hartford to Springfield by steamboat is so interesting that must give you an account of another boat called the Springfield that was em- ployed on the same route. It was aft erwards sold to go to Norwich, when its name was changed to the Thames, and it ran from Norwich to New Lon don. It was a tiny boat, not much wider than canal boat, and it was said that if the boiler should burst it would do no harm, as it was not much larger than a tea kettle!
 This boat, Marco, you must know, saw some service and did some things which larger boats could not do so well. Some of it's doings under my own eye you may like to hear about. On one occasion I had the pleasure of going to New London in her. The wind and tide favored, and the pas- sage down the Thames was quietly made. Before returning supply or wood was taken on board, and as the last bell rang and the passengers were stepping on board, the captain said to his crew (which consisted of one man and boy), after looking first at the wood on board and then at what re- mained on the wharf: T guess we may as well take on one stick more" With this extra supply we worked our pas- sage up stream, against wind and tide, with confidence that we should pass from Pequot to Mohegan all in good time. The passage, however, was not without adventures. On our way, we ran foul of a schooner which lay quietly on the left bank of the river. This produced quite sensation. Every man, woman and child on board both the schooner and the Thames were brought in collision, without the least injury being sustained either by ves- sells, crews or passengers, thanks to our not driving too fast
 Before coming in sight of that pret- ty cluster of villages called Norwich, the captain very politely went round to receive the passage money, instead of sending a waiter with noisy bell. In making change, however. one Of the passengers carelessly dropped a one dollar bill overheard. The cap tain thought the money was worth saving, so he ordered the boat to stop and very soon had his small boat out, himself and half his crew on board of it, and the water being as smooth as & mirror, he padded his way and re- turned in few minutes in triumph with the bank note in his hand.
 Time will not permit me to dwell longer on that route, especially as our little steamer was destined to move in a larger sphere. This was brought about in the following way. When the Gothan1ites had voted to introduce the Croton water to the island of Man haitian, the great question was the best mode of crossing Harlem river. One party was for having the aqueduct laid in the bed of the river, the other was for having the water pass in on level-in other words. no bridge, or high bridge. Those in favor of the

NORWICH ART SCHOOL
 OPENS ITS SEASON.
Director Dodge Has Been Busy in Art centers of London and Paris-New Teacher in Design.

The Norwich Art school began its work for the year on Tuesday of this week. Director Ozias Dodge returned last week from a profitable summer abroad. With the exception of a weeks fishing trip in Scotland and another weeks vacation visiting at a delightful old chateau near Rouen. he has spent the entire summer busily at work in the art centers of London and Paris.
 In Paris he was working in sculp- tors studio for eight weeks. The wide circle of interesting acquaintances made among artists in these cities and the stimulus of a sojourn and work with them will add to his enthusiasm in the school work this year. The collection of etchings by Mir. Dodge's new process were exhibited in these cities during the summer and met much favor and approval
 Miss Gertrude Hough, his assistant, also returns to her work with added power after years absence in Boston. where she studied in the Museum of Fine Arts and in the Eric Pape school. Miss Hough will have charge of the children's class on Saturdays.
 The design classes have a new teacher this year. Miss Kate Morse is spending her year of absence studying abroad. but her place Is to be well filled by Mrs Guy Warner Eastman, a former pupil here, who has also had several years of study in the Museum 0 Fine Arts, Boston, and in the Art In.t-tute. Chicago. Besides this she has done excellent practical work in design and Illustrating. Her pupils will have the advantage of this prae- tical side of the work, especially in the evening classes. These are planning this year to take up a large amount of applied design for practical use in home and craft work-more than has been GOT in former years. She will be assisted by Miss Faith Leavens, who was Miss Morse's assistant last year.
 The Norwich Art chool not only is veil equipped as to its teachers, but its quarters in the Converse Art gallery are al that could be desired and com pare favorably with those of any sim liar school in this country. The dis turbed conditions incident to the re- bu,'dinG of the Academy do not pene- trate to the quiet corners of the art rooms and the work here goes on as usuA. with the costume model as ds.fiy feature of the Illustrating class.
