The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-08-29
NEWTOWN

The adjourned meeting of Middle District school which was to have been held this evening, for the pur- pose of considering the question of re- pairs to the school houses and the lay- ing of necessary tax has been ad- journed until later date on account of the Democratic caucus to be held at the Town hall this evening.
 The history of the triangular piece of property at the head of NewtoWn street, on which is situated, one of the school buildings now in question as to repairs: has been a matter of in- trict for a new modern school build ing. The following has been secured from what seems to be authentic source. The late Charles H. Peck who was a well known authority con corning the town records and history is known to have said that when the property now in possession of Mrs. s. G. Glover was owned by Squire Tur- ner he deeded the piece of property on which the school was placed with a forfeiture clause which stated that when the property ceased to be used for school purposes it was to revert to owner of same. Mrs. Glover the present owner has generously signi- fled her intention to give the prop erty to fgthe town unconditionally This is only one small item of public spirit shown by one of the towns 8 most highly esteemed natives and quite what could be expected The tween the Glover and school property has been assumed not being a right of way. but the present owner has never objected. Mrs. Glover's home at the head of the street is one of the neatest and best kept in town.
 I@ AH Ioso ones too have reaped a -veritable har- vest in the line of picking up cart ridges all around the town. Every crevice among rocks and in the fields has been gone over by late corners but all have been picked clean. One young man is reported to have gath cred a tons weight. Those having a horse and wagon at their command are the richest. But some of the smaller element who had nothing but paper bag and two feet, seem to feel just as elated over their success and the sale they have made

 A certain fascinating gentleman of Newtown, who is neither young or old, is known to have brought to a lady on the street box of Kibbe's best, the other evening. He was caught in the act. and when questioned it was learn ed that he was only good as his word, but says he will never wager again with a woman. The matter in ques- tion was as to whether or not large army Of soldiers would camp in New town following the close of the maneu- vers and he was certain he knew all about it, but lost the wager which was a box of candy. He did not care to have it known and says there is no use trying to do anything around New town on the quiet, there is always someone looking your way.
