STAMFORD


 Let everyone go to the Methodist
 church this evening and give Elliott w. Peck and family a good send off. They sail for Naples next Saturday. A number of gentImen in town de- cline to attend the town meetings on account of the tobacco smoke which fills the room. If the Chairman of the
 meeting would request gentlemen not to smoke while in the town hall, the chances are all would heed. It is a fact that. every one does not like to- bacco smoke, and the town hall should
 be as free from it as a trolley car. Saturday last, or Sunday, an attempt was made by burglars to enter the 1 the rear door and opened a rear win dow. The men, or boys, were in search of money, but got only a few pennies. as storekeepers in town no longer leave any considerable amount 1 where it can be obtained. An attempt was also made to break into the store l of Plumb 6 Bartram. The shoemak- i CTS shop which stands between the
 two buildings, was passed by. for it is well known there is a ferocious bull dog inside.
