LIBRARY CONCERT ARTISTS.


 It is expected that the concert to be given at the library next Friday night will surpass any of it's predecessors These concerts have always been so- ciety events aside from the merit of the talent which has appeared. The proceeds are devoted to the purchase of books and this fact comrnends itself to everyone in town. MT. Frost who sings next Friday night is a remark able tenor and his work has the com mendation of the New York critics who have heard him. MT. Pilzer, violin, who is also on the program, is well known as a soloist of the highest at- tainments. Carl Deis at the piano will satisfy the most critical. Those who attend are promised a musical treat such as is seldom offered the peopl eof a town of this size. The concert merits the liberal patronage Of the residents here. That many mu- sical people of Bridgeport will make it a point to attend is an endorsement of the standing of the artists who will appear.

sTRATFoRD NO RUBE TOWN.

A new bulletin board has been in- stalled in the post office and the an- cient rural method of covering the walls of the place With all sorts of posters from a circus bill to lost and found notices, will obtain no more. The old regime which included the cracker box politician and hay scales in the street has passed away in Stratford, and the new era of city manners has arrived. Some may mourn for the good old times, but the growing generation will have nothing that savers the. times when the town was nothing more than a fishing and farming community. It is now up to the town to curb and gutter Main street at the center and begin to think about a sewer system.
