BY TIE GoSS PER.

Although it is said to be next to
impossible to convict a negro Of va
grancy in the mayors court, be-
cause of the ease with which one
black gets many others to swear he
is a hard working man, the order
of Mayor Titus to the city policemen
to keep the negroes from congregat-
ing about the streets is a good thing
and step in the right direction. The
next move should be to keep them
from roller skating on the sidewalks
about the city.

Up in Jacksonville the board of
trade has just discovered that the
freight rates on automobiles ship
ped into the state of Florida by tour
lists from the north is too high. In
cidentally it might be mentioned that
the board of trade has decided to in
vestigate the matter. If the Jackson
vile board of trade had wanted in
formation along this line it could have
been supplied by any city or town

what the proposed investigation viii

it's safe bet that if it results in any
good to the city of Jacksonville there
won't be any reduction in the rates

No Five Figured Checks


 Says the Connecticut correspondent of the New York Herald:
 That MT Roraback cannot undertake the conduct of Mir. Blakeslee's canvass may be due to several reasons. but one is all sufficient. and that he cannot spare the time from his private business enter lrises. Dabbling in politics and man aging two senatorial campaigns for friends already have cost him great ex- penditure of time and consequent deple. tion of finances. Because of it's breYity the campaign of Represe 1tative in Con. gressE. J. Hill did not entail nearly so large a pecuniary sacrifice on his part as did the lengthy canvass of Senator Mic Lean. ...
 MT. Roraback cannot be hired to man. age any candidates campaign. He wsaald not accept penny from either MT. Hill or Senator McL ;an,: and that was the understanding he insisted upon from the outset. There is a more or less prevalent idea among the politically un. informed that MT. Roraback received 8 five figure check or its'equivalent for hls signal services in Mr. Mclean s behalf. but all these figures are imagination's s figments and that is all. The story IS on a par, except in degree, with the ridi- culous tale that 1t cost MT. Mclean 8 cool quarter of million to capture the senatorship. The quarter of a million was so cool that only relatively small part of 1t burned in his pockets.

ROGER-JACKSON
Popular Couple Surprise Friends by
 Announcing Marriage.


 Announcing Marriage.
 Dan Cupid got busy a couple of days before Saint Valentines Day and began sending out the following valentine on Monday to number of Canaan people, in envelopes of high grade, bearing the Hartford postmark
 "Mr. George Roger--Miss Fannie Louise Jackson Married Saturday. Feb ruary the tenth. nineteen hundred and twelve, Hartford, Conn.,
 This announcement came as 8 sur prise to the friends of the estimable cou' pie, though the match was considered a foregone conclusion for some time. The surprise was in the fact that the knot was tied without the ceremoniousness of an elaborate wedding party and away from the home of either bride or groom. The whole story is that the contre ct- ing parties, electing to avoid the fuss of a conventional Junction." laid their plans to steal march on their friends and have It all over before the fact of their marriage was known.
 Miss Jackson went to Hartford about a week before the marriage and visited her friend Mrs. o. F. Woodford, at whose marriage she was bridesmaid MT. Roger quietly took the east-bound train Saturday morning and the mar riage occurred in the afternoon at the Woodford home, Rev. MT. Fisk oficlat- ing at the ceremony. The couple re- manned in Hartford until Monday after. noon, when they returned to Canaan, on the train arriving here at 6:35. At Nor folk, the big delegation of Canaan music lovers boarded the train, and the bridal pair were subjected to continuous per formance of congratulations that lasted all the way to Canaan , They are now domiciled at the Roger home on upper Railroad street. -

WHEN TOWNS MUST PAY

Highway Commissioner Says Money is
 Due When Contractor is Paid.
 The selectmen have received from Highway Commissioner Mcdonald the following letter concerning the matter of the payment of the towns pro rata share of good roads money; as24-
 Board of Selectmen, Gentlemen Considerable confusion has arisen in regard to proper understanding of the financial arrangements between the state and the towns ill refnnding the towns proportion or the money expended in the improvement of highways, The law distinctly states that any town has the right, under the general appropriation clause, to use the current and next ensuing years appropriations during one year, when It Is to advantage to do so. The state, as a matter of assistance to the towns, had this clause incorporated in the law. This law has been clearly to the advantage of the towns and has resulted in better prices being obtained for work, and also more extended improvement than would have beon possible had only one years apprO- priafon been available.
 This advantage having been secured solely, exclusively and alone for the ben eft of the towns, a misunderstanding has arisen in regard to the interpreta tion of the towns obligation to the state. viz: ..t
 Many towns claim that until the work has been finally completed and accepted by the state, irrespective of the amount of money paid during the first year's s appropriation, or whether any of the second years appropriation has been entered upon, that no obligation rests upon a town to refund it's share of the money expended.
 The object of this letter IS to say that the decision of the omptroller-which | iS Shared by the Commissioner is that when the first years appropriation has become exhausted and the contractor has been paid, the towns are obligated to pay their pro rata share of the expend- iture in accordance with the law. Will you kindly govern yourselves ac- cordingly i'll the future financial rela- tions with the state, and greatly oblige, Very respectfully yours,
 JAMES H. MACDONALD.
 State Highway Commissioner.

Railroad Earnings Still Increasing


 h spite of the continued cold weather the complete returns. for the, month of January of business on the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad system show gain of about $175.00O in gross earnings, as compared with the same month last year. The fact that the ia- crease is on business origin lting in New England, rather than on business from connecting nes, IS all encouraging feature of the returns. This is inter preted as indicating continuance of a moderate business revival in the factory oenters of New England. and also is a form of traffic representing high class freight and better profits for the corpora tion.

MUSIC LOVERS DELIGHTED
SsventY-five Canaanites Hear Classical
 Artists in Norfolk.

Artists in Norfolk.
 About seventy.five Canaan music lov- CTS availed themselves of the opportuni- ty Mrs. Bridgman afforded them, to hear those eminent artists, Efrem Zimbalist, the Russian violinist. and Miss Katha- rine Goodson, pianiste, in the Lincoln memorial concert in the Church of Christ Norfolk, on Monday, and they returned home singing enthusiastic praises for the rare musical feast, the lavish generosity of Mrs. Bridgman and the enjoyable ex- perience of the afternoon.
 The artists rank high among the worlds greatest, and it would be pre-. sumptuous in the present writer to at. tempt a description nf their perform. ance. The program, banquet of clas' sics, was printed Ill The News last week.
 After the concert the guests from Canaan and Lakeville, who were obliged to wait nearly three hours for a train were entertained by Mrs. Bridgman al the Norfolk Inn, with an afternoon tea which was efficiently served by Land lord Sweets competent force. This feature of the afternoon, which was a distinctively social affair. was keenly enjoyed by all who participated, and intensified their sense of gratitude to Mrs. Bridgman.
