 mems Hall.
Especial to The Farennrl


 Stratford. March 27-The dance rendered the Rambler basketball team last night by their lady admirers was the pleasantest affair of the season. About 25 couples participated and a prettier or more handsomely costum- ed bunch of young ladies never were seen in Redmen's hall before There was entire absence of the disagree. able features which sometimes attend dances in the hall. The gentlemen refrained from smoking in the halls and everyone seemed intent on mak- ing everyone else happy and they suc- ceeded for the evening passed without one marring circumstance. The music by the Standard orchestra was highly complimented. The hall was hand- somely decorated in the Rambler col. ors red and white, which will remain for the Board of. Trade banquet by special request of the committee. There were IA numbers on the pro- gram which bore the Rambler pen- nant. They were Mysterious Rag" two step. Ted Snyder; Every Girl Was Made to be Loved" waltz, F. B. Haviland: "In Ragtime Land." two step. H. Won Tilzer; Dance Queen" Man two step.

 It is an unusual thing for Metho, {Sf oh fn hn yfAa A,.o~ Yale. divinity school where the stu dents are supposed to be Congrega- tionalists, but there are about thirty students in the divinity school at New Haven. who are of this denomina tion and when called upon they will off ciate in churches needing a pastor. One of this number D. H. Stanford, native of Texas will supply the pull. pit of the M. E. chr-ch here Sunday in the absence of Rev. E. c. Car. renter who is at the conference in Brooklyn. MT. Stanford is consider ed one of the ablest young men in the school and he will have something of interest for every one who attends the service Sunday.

 A big auto truck owned b.- the Standard Oil O., was stuck in the mud and almost wrecked in Avon Park yesterday morning. It defied all efforts to extricate 1t until one o'clock when it was hoisted out of the mud with a block and fall and taken to Rrideeport for repairs.
 Complaints of bad roads are more frequent this spring than for many years. Not that the roads are in any worse condition than formerly, hut the deep frost of the winter. the alternate freezing and thawing and the increas- ed use of automobiles has made their condition more noticeable. Monday noon big motor truck loaded with lumber went in up to the hubs on Nichols avenue. It was necessary to unload the truck and use some of the lumter to build causeway before the machine was extricated. While the work was going on Dr. Lewis came along in his carriage. and joined the aggregation of the stuck. A vofun- teer force of neigfbo-s and carpenters pulled out both vehicles after an hours hard work. Motorists are not the only ones who complain of the roads in the north end of the town. Resi- dents of sections in that part of the, bailwick have been practically maroon ed. The road at Buck swamp is only one of the bad spots which need at- tention. The natural conditions have this spring accentuated the need of better roads. The coming of the au- tomobile has complicated the highway problem. Roads that would have an- swered the purpose for horse drawn vehicles have been churned up by mo- tor cars until they are impossible for any sort of conveyance Residents along the lines where these bad spots lie believe that portion of the money paid for licenses and automobile taxes should go to rerair the roads destroy ed by the machines, not in the round about way by which towns now receive State aid. but at any time the roads need it and in any place.
 John Baefele, who was injured at the basketball game last Thursday night, has not yet been able to leave his bed. The muscles and fragments of his ankle were so badly torn and strained that 1t is imposs ble for him to use the injured member.
 The subscribers to the s. N. F. T. service have increased at remarkable rate in this town in the last year. and the company is contemplating many chances to accommodate the increas- ing demands. On some streets almost every house is equipred with the ser vice. sOn Kirg street where the wires have been fastened to the trees on ac- count of the opposition of the residents 1 to poles in front of their premises the whole line will be altered. Poles will be set and the wires will be removed 1 from the trees The damage to the | trees is more unsight1y than the pres ence of the poles. The company also 1 plans to extend it's underground con- duits as fast as the demands of the | town justify the expense
 The annual banquet of the Metho- | dist church last night was largely at ] tended. It followed the annual meet | ing at which the reports of the offic- 1 CTS were read. Rev. F. c. Carpenter | presided. After the business meeting i the company sat down to tables boun- tifu'ly supplied with viands from the | larders of the members of the con- eregation. It is needless to say that the reputation of the ladies of the | did not suffer by the | display.
