It has grown tremendously since the occupation. Prices of all kinds , of food are very high and there is good deal of suffering among the poor. Eggs are 70 cents dozen, milk 14 cents a quart.

 A large audience greeted the players i from Lakeville at the town hall last ] Thursday night, when they presented | the three-act drama, Bar Haven" for the benefit of Court Waugum, F. of A. The play was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended, the different parts being taken with spirit and understanding. It would be invidious to draw comparisons where all did so well. After the enter tninment the floor was cleared for danc- Ing, for which music was furnished by Austin's orchestra, of Winsted. and those who like to "trip the light fantas- tic toe" indulged in that pleasure. Taken all in all, it was one of the most enjoy able affairs that has been given in town this winter, and it is gratifying to state that it was also a success financially. Former Resident Here
