 Monroe, July 16.--It is to laugh, at the way some of the city folks come out into the country for a more or less summering. After they arrive here and are all wonted, do they ''sa- shay" out into the open, in negaige ihabilinents-not caring a darn about looking tacky-and just get next to nature and things? Not some. It is the glad rags for them; about 75 per cent. of the time, from the discard of nighties. The feminines. young and some more-after they have dried their hair on the back stoop, start right in to get all gussied up, as if for a high tea, bridge, or a porch party. And they get bugged for the kiddies often. They have also to keep dressed up and all that, because their mas don't beam very grateful on rompers, over alis, squash lids and others. And more men? Do they annex knock about clothes and get next to Easy street or anything comfortable?- Not so. It's stiff collars, creased pants, and heavy head tile, vests and coats on the job, walking sticks and so Eforth. No beating about, walking afield or anywhere. Only to keep dressed up--sissied, as it were, which is to laugh again; ain't .it?.
 Surveying for the proposed state road from Monroe Center to the Trum- bull line was commenced last week. Now, when said road is built-and the state commissioner of roads says it will be--among other improvements that have been soreiy needed for de- cades and ever and ever So long, is the hoped for total elimination and full wiping out, of the rocky and heavy grade hill at, or near, the Flaw ley railroad crossing. If men are sent to Hades for profanity then that hill has caused said place to be pretty largely, occupied. by all manner of ve- hicle drivers, motor car folks, cyclists and mere persons afoot,, and some more. The lowlands just north of Eve Corners, have ever been the worst ever, muddy and miry slough of "or- ful wneelin' ; and it ought to be up- lifted and made ''passable, even jack aSsa ble,' iii the spring, anyhow. "AH things come to him who waits.' Hope we don't have to hold down the wait ing bench much longer. By the way, highway, Hawley's hill is In the town of, Trumbull, come to think. Mayoc and perhaps, that our next door neighbor town can be induced; coax ed. taffeyed or honestly reasoned, to carry on the needed half mile of state road to join the Newtown trunk roao at the Point House" We trust so. | Now there's Eddie Hurd, Eddie who lives on South End street, forninst eastward of Five Corners. What about him? Ain't you heard? No! Well, it is alleged that he is going to sue for meddling libel, the several newspapers which have been paint ing all sorts of things "touchin upon and appertaining to- his matrimon- liallv inclined love affair. It's a cold day when he and Dan Cupid are not chumnny some way or other That is-they have been. But Ed-with no malice aforethought, ayers and afffda- wits. that the annanias papers-among other s'libels'i had chortled in prfnt that he had fell down to a saleslady, swimmer girl boarding near him last year and she being more than sev
 en-" had Ed. blow in dollars on her; borrowed money from him and made the. poor fellow think she had picked him out for her ownest own and was goirg to have the nuptial knot degree stunt worked on two hearts that beat as one" soon or sooner and so forth; when she could get a vacation at her store. She holds down a job in little old New York. That was the line up, which has been newspapered from last years dope. She or I'd.
 has done no waiting, at the church. or just of the peaces office yet, and it was printed, that he didn't even have look in and used to walk in
 his sleep, moaning, help! I'm be- ing kidded." Then he wakes up. But he's going to "do" them newspapers, that maligned him, he says.
 ITO Will N. Hurd's general store at the head of Long Hill street, there comes every day or so, 8 tall slip of a lad, who is in his late teens, as to age and of foreign extraction, his fam lily living on back road with a few acres to farm.
