DEEDS, NOT WORDS
Norwich People Have Absolute Proof
of Deeds at Home.

It's not words. but deeds that prove

The deeds Of Doan's Kidney Pills.
For Norwich kidneygufferers
Have made their local reputation.
Proof lies in the testimony of Nor
wich people who have been cured to
stay cured.
Mrs. Roland Ockery, living at 1852
Franklin Street, Norwich. Conn.,, says:
MY opinion of Doan's Kidney Pills is
just as high today as when l testified
to their merits in a statement given
in April. 1906. At that time ] stated
that great benefit had followed the
use of this remedy in my case when

able and unable to find relief when
Doan's Kidney Pills were brought TO
my attention, and l procured a box

Their beneficial, effect was noticeable
in a remarkably short time and con-
tinued taking the remedy until all
trouble with my back and Kidneys was
removed. Mr.. Ockery also used Doans

Six-yeaT-old Jackie's mother be-
neved that absolute truthfulness was
the only rock on which TO build that
youthful gentleman's character, and
the consistent working out Of this
principle did away, of course, with be-
lief in all such things as fairies, Santa
Claus, and other illusions dear to
childish hearts, and they became In
stead "make-believe" games, Santa
Claus in particular being a pei Joke"
between his mother and himself
Jackie came in from play one after
noon much excited and concerned.
Mother, Jimmie Norton believes
there is R~Eeally and truly Santa
Claus He says he is sure that Santa
Claus does come down the chimney.
He wouldn't believe me at all when

rising anxiety.

perhaps Jfmmie's mother will tell
him the Joke some time soon, and

"Oh, hope she WILL broke in

Will Fill the Bill.

There is little question that Gov
ernor Weeks in selecting as superior
court judges NJ. H. Holcomb Of Soutn-
ington and Gardiner Greene Of Nor
wich has carried out the intentions of
Governor Lilley. There Is no question
at all that ne has selected men Of high
standing in their profession, who add
strength to an already excellent court
Governor Weeks Is to be congratulated
alike on his respectful attempt to dis
cover the wishes of his predecessor
and on his final decision in the mat
ter
Judge Holcon1b is one of the recog-
nized safe and solid men Of Connecti-
cut He is man who has made good
all along the line and on the bench he
will be the just judge.
Gardiner Greene was graduated at
Yale in 1878 and has for years occu-
pied a high position at the bar OF his
part Of the state. No doubt since the
lamented death of Frank T. Brown of
Norwich he stands at the head of the
bar east Of the Connecticut river. He
is man of the highest personal char
acter and of judicial temperament. He
will fill the bill.
These two appointments were the
most important that Governor Weeks
was likely to have to make, although
here is no knowing what may develop
during the next twenty months. We
have recently had a mighty suggestive
lesson in the uncertainties of life. The
state will receive the selections with
great satisfaction. The governor has
set fine pace for himself.-Hartford

Improved Conditions for ThamesviI|e
Ten-Inch Main will be Laid Through Durham Street
from West Main-Most of Pipe is Here and Work
will be Started Soon.

The board of water commissioners
held their regular meeting on Friday
evening, when a number of matters of
routine were discussed and a number
of other matters came up for action.
The board received a petition from
residents of Thamesville, asking for
better water mains in the interest of
fire protection. There have been sew
eral times when there was not enough
pressure to make the hydrant streams
effective. A sfx-inch pipe now goes to
that section.
The board at previous meeting had
ice and will lay twelve and ten-inch
for which is here, and the work Will
win be laid from the West Main
city line near the residence of Frank
street, as far as Durham street. From
there ten-ineh pipe will be laid
thnmRgh Durham street to Thamesville
and run down West Thames street to-
wards the city line for some distance
9'his will be better than changing the
present pipe in West Thames street,
as they will then get water from both
directions. The new pipe will give
them excellent service, as 1t comes
through 12-inch pipe all the way
from the hospital corner, through La
fayette, Asylum and West Main streets
to Durham streets and drafts from
l6-inch main. There Is nothing on this

line to check the flow to speak of, as
there would be on the line through the
city.
The pipe has been ordered and is be-
ing received, a portion of it being I'M
loaded on Central wharf, while other
carloads are being received on the
new wharf. As soon as all the pipe is
here the work of putting it in will be
started A little over a mile of pipe
will be laid. This is one of the large
undertakings of this board and will
prove a grand thing for Thamesville,
as there should be heavy pressure
from this new line.
Work on the Dam.
Contractor Dodd has a good sized
force of men at work stripping the
ground for the new dam at Bog
meadow, but no work has been started
on the dam proper as yet. The pre-
liminary work is going along nicely,
although the weather has interfered
somewhat. This undertaking was
talked over by the board at length.
Reservoir Is Rising.
There was considerable rain and
snow which fell Thursday night and
Friday, which makes the rainfall for
the month above the average. The res
erVoir is showing good results from the
several rains, and on Friday was but
% inches from high water mark. with
quite a stream coming in from Bog
meadow 1t is expected that it will
gain several more inches and with
more of the weather Of this week
should fill soon.

Another Raos Coming.

Another running race, over the same
course as last Saturday, may be held
week from today, il the plans now
under consideration materialize. Moth
ing definite has been decided and a
race may not be held for some time,
but the boys are as interested as ever
and the number of entries would be
large in the event of a second con-
test. 1t IS also probable that if suffi-
c!ent money can be raised to procure
suitable prizes, that race will be
held on July s. at the time of the
celebration.
At another race II is planned to
have enough policemen presentto keep

curfew Bell Rung Last in 1867.

The curfew or 0 o'clock bell is no
longer heard. For a little over two
hundred years. from 1859 until the
death of Orinell Mabrey in 1867, the
bell of the First church was rung at
sunrise and noon every day; and at
nine o'clock every night except Sat
urday, and then at eight O'Clock. Once
in the middle of the week Mrs. Ma
brey had baked beans and that night
the bell sounded at eight o'clock!
When news came that Vicl1sburg
was taken, DIR. Arms asked that the
church bell be rung. While it was
ringing, he sat on the steps, his hat
off. his white hair blowing in the
wind, saying, THE south is beaten,
Vicksburg is taken, peace will be de-
clared."
When a death occurred the bell was
tolled a few strokes, stopped then
tolled the number of years of the life.
then came another pause, and last
were two strokes for a woman's death
or one for that of man. The last
time the bell was tolled for a death
was that of the Rev. G. T. Weitzel in
1896. Many residents remember see
ing Mr.. Mabrey cross the Green to
ring the bell from the house where he
lived, which is now occupied by L. A.
Fenton.
