FISK UNIVERSITY
 JUBILEE SINGERS
Large Number at Second congrega- tional Church to Hear the Quartette from Southern College.

The interest in the Fisk university jubilee singers, who have just en- tered upon their fortieth season and who have appeared annually in Nor wich for number of years, is still unabated, as was evidenced by the big crowd that turned out Tuesday evening to attend the concert at the Second Congregational church. The concert, which was furnished by colored male quartette, all members or ex-members of Fisk university, be- gan promptly at eight o'clock and lasted until about 9.30 and during this entire period, with the excellent quar- tette music, solo pieces and amusing recitation work that went to make up the evenings programme, there was not dull moment for anyone. Every body expressed pleasure over the en- tertainment and the applause that fol- lowed the several pieces was enthus- iastic and generous to a marked de- gree.
 The quartette for, the season 191O-11 is composed of Prof. c. ". Work, A.B, AM, (Fisk) leader and first tenor; James A. Myers, BID. (Ffsk), second tenor and reader; Leon OBara, class of 1912, first bass; and Noah W. By der, special diploma in music. second bass. Every one of the members of the troupe proved himself an artist along musical lines. for whether sep
 
 auctions were given in n1asterly style.
 The jubilee songs or negro folk nut sic collected and introduced to the world by Fisk university, are without parallel among musical productions. Intensely religious. they touch the heart with their pathos or excite to laughter by their quaint conceptions of religious ideas or Biblical facts. Kept fresh and living by contact with the people and sung by trained vocal ists who are thoroughly in sympathy with the emotional nature of their originators. they have unique and powerful appeal for all classes.
 Those songs rendered on Tuesday evening included: Steal Away to Jesus Swing Low Sweet Chariot; Roll Jordan, Roll; Great Camp Meeting; Little David Play on Your Harp; My Soul Is a Witness to M. Lord: Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray; Balm in Gilead; l; Some Day: My Good Lord Done Been Here; o Brethren. Rise. Shine. The recita tions that were given in inimita- ble style by James B. Myers, includ- ed When Melinda Sings; Deacon Jones Grievance; The Party, and Two Little Boots.
 Following the entertainment Prof, J. W. Work made 8 brief address, in which he told of Fisk university, the work it is accomplishing and of the good influence the students who at tend there are exerting throughout the south, where, through them, the squal- i'd cabins of the o1den time are trans formed into splendid Christian homes. Following these remarks collection was taken, and a good sized amount was given.
 The members of the quartette were entertained over night by MT. and Mrs. c. H. Scott at their home on Boswell avenue.

CHARMING HAIR
Every Woman Can Have It By Using Partisan Sage.
 Guaranteed by The
 Lee & Osgood Co.

There is a reason for the phenome- nal sale of Parisian Sage in the Unit ed States since it was first introduced into America, and the sales this year are breaking all records.
 And the reason is plain to all: Parisian Sage does just what 1t is ad- vertised to do.
 Ask Tho Lee & Osgood Company about it. They will tell you that they rigid1y guarantee it to cure dandruff, stop falling hair or itching scalp in two weeks, or money hack.
 There is no reason whatever why any man or woman should fail to take advantage of the above generous offer.
 But one thing that has made Paris ian Sage so famous is it's peculiar power to turn the harsh, unattractivs hair that many women possess into luxuriant and radiant hair in a short time. Women of refinement ths ooun- try over are using it and it never dis appoints.
 Sold by leading druggists everywhere and in Norwich by The Lee & Osseed Company for 30 cents a large bottle. The girl with Auburn hair is on every package; mail orders filled. charges prepaid, by the American makers. Giroux Mfg. Co.,. Buffalo, N. Y.

LEDYARD AND SCOTLAND
 BIRDS GET BULLETIN PRIZES
Will Grace the Tables at the Shelter ing Arms, Rock Nook and County Homes-Effort to Stimulate Turkey Raising.

There was the usual interest Tues day. in The Bulletins turkey contest and number of farmers were at Somers Brothers store to see the birds from eastern Connecticut weighed AL though it has been a poor year for raising turkeys, some excellent ones were brought in, and the prize win ners are equal in quality to those of any previous year.
 Isaac G. Geer of I4edyard won the first and second prizes of $10 and $5 for the largest and fattest young tur- keys, which weighed 15 1-2 and II 13-16 pounds respectively He re- ceived check for $26.53, the market price of 3S cents a pound being added to the prizes.
 Miss K. c. Murphy of Scotland won third prize for the largest turkey. which weighed 27 pounds, and she received a check for $15.26
 As in former years. these turkeys are to be sent to the Sheltering Arms and Rock Nook home and to the New London county home. all in Norwich. The Bulletin has carried out this idea for a number of years and the turkey dinners are always greatly enjoyed in these respective institutions.
 In giving these prizes each year The Bulletin has been trying to create more interest among the farmers in raising turkeys and believes it's efforts will be Q, factor in again making this a turkey producing section. It seems ridiculous to compel the local marketmen to go to Vermont and the west for these birds when they can be raised here just as well and with profit to the raiser.

AS the result of a remonstrance made by number of residents in the vicinity of Ward street, where there is a hustling barrel gang who intend ed to burn their barrels near Ward and Mt. Pleasant streets, where it is thickly settled, it was turned over by Mayor Thayer to Chief Stanton on Thursday.
 Chief Stanton looked up the boys in that gang and explained to them the danger of burning the barrels in that location. He told them he did not want to prevent them from burning the barrels and they agreed to get a new location, which will take them away from all buildings and thus les sen the chances of fires. They are to go west into the vacant lots. Wher- ever such fires are started the chief has urged that parents of the boys in- interested in them to take an interest and see that the fires are kept within bounds and that the embers are all out after the fires are over.
