Editor Reveille:
Noticing the card of the Chry-
santhemum ladies in your last is
sue, / am disposed to commend
their work, not only as ornamental
but absolutely important to our
well being in the future as COM
munity.
l have long contended for a
county fair, and these chrysanthe-
mum danes propose to grow into
such an institution. ! bid them
God speed, and in my humble way
offer any possible assistance that I
can render, appreciating fully their
interest not only in home but in
the prosperity of our county. What
the chrysanthemum is to the floral
kingdom, these gracious ladies are
to the children of man, and ] am
encouraged to believe what their
hands find to do will be done in
deed, and success is sure to fol-
low.
1t is up to US, as farmers and
citizens, to encourage them by our
aid and patronage, and certainly
we are asleep in the midst of their
wakefulness if we do not respond
with ready hands. | shall not
waste your valuable space in ar
guments favoring their purposes,
exhibiting the various products OF
our homes and farms, but await
with anxious expectation their first
show, hoping that the Importance
of such a step will be demonstrated
beyond cavil and permanently or
ganized under their dexterous
hands. 1t will be a fair of the
Fair, and fair under all conditions.
Respectfully,
JUD BOLLS.

He's Figured it Out

Some liquor schemer has been investi-
eating lately and the result of his investi-
cations has been that the local option law
has had the effect of increasing the num-
Der of saloons. This man must be an
algebraist and regard the saloons as moral
minus quantities. Now, when a minus
quantity is subtracted, the quantity from
which it is subtracted is increased. See?

Slump i'm Business

In one of it's latest issues, the BreWers ;
Daily Bulletin of Chicago reports the
malt market which is of course sup
posed to be an excellent criterion of the
beer business in any given period.
According to all advices the month OF
March was one Of the dullest for business
in malt that has been experienced for a
long time past, and so far in April con-
ditions have not been such as to warrant
the hope that this month will be much
better There is most backward feeling
on the part of the brewers while few
masters, impatient with the lack of or
ders, are making concessions in prices !"

The county of Hartford has not been in better ina nciaI condition for many years than T. is today, as the annual report of the county, prepared by the commissioners for the fiscal year ended on September 90 and to be submitted to the state com ptroller, shows. The Indebtedness of the coun- ty is but s7G,000. and the demands or the county treasurer were never as great as they are at present. An ad- dttion to the jail and the temporary home which the county has long had to aid in supporting, the county un- der recent action of the legislature has to maintain the brteges at Windsor Locks and at Enfield, which are over the Connecticut river While the out standing indebtedness is s70, GOO, there was at the same time a balance or S24, ,547.T6 in the treasury.
