 Alfred Cowles is quite feeble, and growing more so. His daughter, Mrs. J. J. -Himmeler, is very attentive tc his needs, driving over to see him twice each week at least.
 Rev. MT. Flanders, Baptist state evangelist, will preach next Sunday. Aside from the sermon, that is sure to be of interest, it is his singing and his ability to make others sing that keeps him in. memory. He will doubtless be welcomed by large con gregation.
 ! Rev. James Osborne and Mrs. Os. borne, who have made many friends during their vacation spent with their former parishioners, the Ayers family, have returned to their home in East Hartland.

 At the productive farm of w. H Marsh, where they raise a great man, things besides poultry, they have ove 200 hens and have matched this sea son 943 chickens. Probably they will not stand the test of the count fol that number now, but they have haC good success in raising them, or Mrs. Marsh has, for she takes the entire care of the poultry, besides her other many and varied duties.
 Although the late rains have giver us a very green and smiling country side, the heat and humidity of Sun. day made it one of the most uncom fortable days of the summer. There were 43 at Sunday school and a goot attendance at the church service where Rev. MT. Soule of Hartford state secretary of the Congregations Home Mission society, spoke in hi usual charming vein of the needs O the work.

 The Misses Ellis, who last summer won all hearts by their nice perception of the informality of hilltop country neighborhood and by their kindlines and graciousness in giving so mucl pleasure by their rare musical talent not only at the church services but il concerts for the benefit of the Ladies Aid society, are again at Rest Got tage.

 The grange Friday evening missed the popular degree team in conferrine the third and fourth degrees to there candidates, but the members were duly received, if not with such elabo rate ceremony as sometimes is tllC method. The most critical could no have taken exception at the collation., which was dainty, abundant and prettily served. Master Smith pro. fessed to be puzzled at the fact that when Miss DeWolfe was appointed on the committee Mrs. Hansen was thG one to assist in the serving.
 Rev. and Mrs. Darrow arrived at the parsonage from Northfield Friday evening by the boat train, MT. Dar- row being unable to make the trip in his motor. His attack of pneumonia has left him quite weak and with a bad cough, but rest and quiet and Wilmington air will doubtless soon bring about the desired restoration to health. They are glad to be at home and their people are glad to have them back. Mrs. Darrow was in her usual place in the choir at the church service and took charge of the Sunday school.
