FAREWELL SURPRISE
Given Mr.. j. ". Smith By Friends At
Hunts Station

Hunts Station, Sept. 13-Mr. j. w.
Smith of Hunts Station, who runs a
merchdntile establishment in Mt. Yer
non, having sold his property at the
pose of moving to the city, was the
subject of surprise party given him
and his family on Tuesday the 18th
inst.
BY the strategy or someone interest
ed, Mr.. Smith was prevented from TAX
ing the morning train for his place OF
business in Mt. Vernon, and about the
hour of 10 o'clock many of his friends
and noighbors began to assemble and
at the noon hour about 125 people
surrounded table loaded to finish
with many of the good things that are
calculated to satisfy the human appe-
tite
While the day was spent largely in a
social way, at the close of the noon
hour the people were called to order,
and in a few appropriate remarks by
Rev. J. H. Bone, Mr.. Smith was pre-.
sented with an elegant rocker, as a
token of the high esteem in which he
and his family are held by those pres.

Mr.. Smith has been doing business
at Hunt for nearly 30 years, which
of itself speaks much, and in a very
feeling manner he made reply express.

"BUBBLERS"
Prove Advantageous For
Man And Beast

One of the best things the city has
ever done toward the Improvement OF
the health in general of the people in
the community was the installation of
the sanitary bubbling fountains at the
two places on the square, formerly
located by the old cup system.
During the hot summer days, these
two spots were extremely popular and
the people fairly ''lined-up" awaiting
their turn, most of whom would never
have thought of drinking the water
from the old cups which were used
by indiscrminating and unsanitary
people.
But these people are not the only
ones benefited. During the hottest
days OF August, pup of the mongrel
type was seen twice a day, as regular
as the clock, to scamper up to the
"bubbler" at the northern end of the
square, jump upon the side and quaff
heartily of the refreshing waters
therein contained. Then with toss
of his shaggy head, he would canter
off as lively as frisky young colt
1t became habit OF several people to
watch for the appearance of this ca
nine daily when one day, to their
surprise, they found him accompanied
by two other dogs, each of whom
calmly awaited his turn at the water
From then on these dogs returned
daily and continued this practice until
the first of this month. There is nc
reason at all why they should not be
permitted to do this as the sanitation
OF the fountain is such that ever
horses could use and yet not contain
! mate it.

POLI'S

{ If one read the dramatic columns of the New York papers yesterday it need not be repeated here that the biggest hit ever made by a vaudeville artiste was that made by Isabelle D'Armond who headlined the bill at Keith's Fifth Avenue theatre, and who headlines the bill at Polls this week. Dainty, pret- ty, talented, magnetic and with a score of other qualifications. little Miss Diamond has bounded to the top of the vaudeville list after being the rec ognized star of musical comedy for three years past. Her vaudeville off, fering in which she is assisted by George Moore, a very clever artist is classy of the class and it will be a revelation for vaudeville audiences here. The associate headline feature will be Ed Raynard the ventriloquist, with production and a riot on every bill in which he is headlined. A novel feature on the bill will be the act of Sebastian Merrill and company, trick and comedy riders, and featuring the sensational tandem somersault, and others who will be close up in the race for first honors are the Six O'Connor Sisters in their smart singing act; Crouch and Welch, the pair who were the hit of the three thousand dollar bill at Poli's in Hartford last week. and the Field Boys. formerly with Ed die Leonard, in their great dancing act. Seats for the entire week are now on sale at the box office and in asrnuch as Miss D'Armond is the big gest drawing card in vaudeville to- day those who wish to be sure of good sittings had best order early.

GEO. B. CLARK & co. ACQUIRE MORE
 SPACE AT STORE
Present 30.000 Square Feet Inadequate
 For Rapidly Increasing Business.

George B. Clark & Company have purchased from Hincks & Johnson large piece of property in the rear of their present premises and will short ly erect additional quarters to be de- voted to their business. Their enter prising furniture house has found us 30O00 square feet of floor space in- adequate for it's rapidly expanding trade. The Clark store is already a huge establishment and to need more room to accommodate its stock and patrons is marvellous example Of business thrift and progress. Occur ing simultaneously with this purchase of real estate is che fifteenth anniver- sary of the company which makes this an opportune time to celebrate.
 In honor of the occasion and to re- lieve the congestion of stock caused by inadequate store rooms. the com pany has inaugurated a gigantic sale which will involve $65000 furniture stock. The c greatest bargains arc pron'ised. The new buildings will be devoted to store rooms and shipping rooms which will permit of the pre- ent store being occupied by sales rooms.
