Last Issue of WiIlimantic Journal. With this number, the issue of the l Journal will be suspended is the an- nouncement that appears on the first l page of the edition of the Willimantic Journal that appeared on Friday. This paper, published in Willimantic for years as a weekly, was recently pur- l chased by H. F. Wilder, owner and publisher of the Windham County Ob- l screw, and has since been printed in ] the office of that paper in this city. l The announcement that the paper will I be suspended contains no reason for | the action taken.

High wa I ter now prevails in the Quinebaug. but | this is not materially interfering with 1 the work.

 | First Harem Skirt Seen. 1 What is classified as genuine ha- 1 rem skirt has set Webster in a ferment of excitement and has created no little 1 interest in Putnam, because Of the fact that the woman who wore 1t was seen 1 to leave a car just in from this city.
 John c. Burns, whose home is in 1 Danielson, but who is employed in Webster, was sufficiently eagle eyed to | identify the new -fangled style of wear ! inc af D1ape0 Wbi1a i he immediately communicated his dis ! covery to those in his vicinity, few persons got a look, as the woman went l directly. from the electric car to the | Worcester.
