WANT TO PAY OFF MORTGAGE.
Pastor and Members of Mt. Calvary
 Baptist Church Hard at Work.

Pastor David Wadsworth Cannon and the congregation of the Mt. Cal vary Baptist church have decided up on q money raising campaign IS th- II fall work. the end in view being the sum of $1,000 which Is needed to pay off the mortgage on their church. For this purpose they have organized with Deacon John Williams president. Miss A. Frances Scott secretary and Mrs. NJ G. Cannon treasurer, for their annual fair and rally to be held four days and evenings this month, during which they will work hard to raise the amount they want.
 The solicitors are out in the interests of the fair, and from now on this big event will be absorbing the efforts oi the entire congregation.
 Efforts to raise the money for a new organ at Mt. Calvary Baptist church have been successful in raising the necessary amount within a few dollars and it is expected that the new in- strument will probably be secured ir about two weeks. The plans under consideration are not to locate it in the gallery where the present organ is but at the front of the church, where a place can be arranged to one side of the pulpit by cutting off one end oi the gallery. This will also give place for the choir the whole being brought to the level of the pulpit.

LITTLE EVA" MARRIED.
Meets Fate in Meriden Tuesday Eve ning-Married Wednesday Morning.

One Little Eva" of Uncle Toms Cabin fame has grown up and got married. and her choice of a husband is a lucky Meriden man, Roy Cottrell, says the Meriden Record. Miss Clem- entina Peterson of Terre Haute, Ind, who has been off and on the stage since she was six years old, is the bride, and the wedding ceremony was held at the Center church parsonage Wednesday morning at 1030 o'clock, Rev. D. H. Loux uniting the couple after courtship carried on through the mails, and an informal introduc- tion successfully arranged by a mat rimonial bureau.
 MT Cottrell and Miss Peterson had never met until Tuesday evening at the railroad station when they fell into each others arms without the least misgivings-they had exchanged photographs. The bride is easily in the beauty class and Is of the blonde type which is so popular behind the footlights. She has travelled some for a young woman of twenty -four, the age which Town Clerk Hess correctly and smilingly guessed when the young couple drew their marriage licenses.
 Hong Kong, China, is her birthplace and she is proud of the accomplish ments she cultivat l there. She speaks and reads and wri, s Chinese.

Extending Electricity To Taftvi||e
Twenty-Five New Customers Expected from that End of the Town-Gas Service Improved in Laurel Hill Secten

of the residence of Everett J. Dawley has been practically completed, there remaining but little work on connec- tions. A new main was laid from Winchester street to in front of Cor oner Browns house, where larger pipe than that which was taken up was found, and it was not necessary to lay any more large pipe until the south end of the park was reached. From that point new pipe was put down in the center of the driving part of the roadway. The old pipe was laid close to the gutter. The job was a slow and difficult one. owing to the fact that .t was not desired to cut the gas off while the pipe was being put in. The new pipe was laid and cover ed in, after which the connection with the old pipe was discontinued and new connections made with the new pipe for the several services. This was all done without anyone being obliged to stop the use of the gas. This new main gives much better pressure, the old main not being large enough to supply the demand. The old main was not taken up. but it's use has been dis continued.

 This extension was brought about through a petition presented to the commissioners by William c. Kendall and sixteen others two weeks ago for the extension of the service to Taft vile. as there were many who desired it. The commissioners referred the matter to Supt. Bogue for an hvesti- aation of ths desired extension and to learn the extent of the new business in sight. This investigation was so favorable that at the meeting of the commissioners this week it was voted that the extension should be built, and work upon it was started right away.
