Since Attorney Clitus H. King has resigned hts position as prosecuting attorney for this town. in the matter of those who violate the liquor laws, vacancy exists which in due time will be filled by the County Commits sioners, who will designate a success sor. It has been the custom to choose some leading lawyer of the town. a man of probity. known to be temperate in his habits. and one in whom the people have full confidence Prior to the selection of Mr. King. Attorney Bacon Wakeman held the position for some ten years. and his predecessor was Judge Perry of Southport. There of these 1t is known that neither Judge Banks. Judge Perry nor Joseph I. Flint would accept the position if it was offered to them. The most avail able man left is Bacon Wakeman. who knows the ropes from former experi- ences. and who can be depended upon to perform the duties of the position impartially and faithfully. If the wishes of the best citizens of the town count for anything he will be selected by the commissioners to succeed Cli- tus King

 About o'clock yesterday morning there was runaway on the part of Peter Hansen's frisky horse. The anil mai, hitched to milk wagon. was browsing contentedly in front of AL fred Wyrtzen's grocery store. when a puff1ng and smoking automobile came rushing by. This frightened the horse,
 
 called Danbury road. The milk cans set up a terrible rattling and soon jumped out of the wagon and were strung along the highway past E. W. s. Pickett's we'll known resi- dence. Fortunately most of them were empty. The horse was captured this side of Mill River. and returned to it's owner.
 Complaint is made by some of our citizens concerning the manner in which the trolley cars passing through town fail to accommodate the travel ing public. The door of the car com ing east from Southport Is closed on the sidewalk side of the car. and pas sengers are made to go around the end of the car. into the road. before they can gain admittance. They are in dancer of being run down by trol- ley, and if the road is muddy, or re- gently oiled. or full of snow. both men and women have to step into the mess. This Is especially true at Pickett's switch and in front of the Memorial Library. It Is suggested that the men in charge of the cars open the doors next to the sidewalk. If this Is not done hereafter. 1t is proposed to cir culate petition and send it to head quarters.
 This evening at the Country Club. George F. Sherwood and wife will en- tertain the guests with whist. music. dancing and refreshments.
