Norwich bulletin., 1912-10-18

Danielson. from a. m. to 6.15 D. m., which was a wonderfully fine arrange ment--maybe! During the period men tioned mail for Norwich was sent out of here at 10.11 a. m. via Putnam and Willimantic.
 Will Cut Out Big s Curve.
 The Trumbull Construction company has been granted the contract for the construction of the piece of state highway that is to extend from point above Attawaugan to the Put nam town line and work is to be com menced at once. The contract calls for the cutting out of the big s curve above Attawaugan and the extending of the state road over a new route through the Wheaton farm. The con- tract will probably not be completed until next year. It was said here on Thursday that the contract for build ing the state road from Danielson to the Rhode Island line by way of South Killingly will be let in a few days.
 Reports from State Convention.
 At the regular Thursday evening prayer meeting of the Baptist church those present listened to interesting reports of the happenings at the Bap- tist state convention, held in New Ha- ven Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. The reports were made by the pastor, Rev. W. Douglass Swaffield, and by Miss Grace Spald- ing, who. with Mrs. D. M Bennett, Miss Clarice Branch and Albert Va chon were delegates to the convention from the local church.
 No Additional Licenses Wanted.
 From expressions of sentiment com- ing both from license and no-license sources, it is evident that the general hope and desire is that no additional licenses be granted in Killingly this year. Of course, the matter of say ing who shall or who shall not have licenses remains with the county com missioners. Remonstrances that were strongly supported and upheld were presented to and sustained by the commissioners last year relative to certain additional places being licensed and the same effective opposition is to be anticipated this year. AS yet no applications for new licenses have been filed, although some of those now hav- ing licenses have filed applications for renewals.
 No Companies to Participate.
 
 Danielson will not be represented by any of the companies of its depart ment at the big firemens muster to be held in Southbridge tomorrow (Sat- urday), though some of the members may go as individuals. The fact that the muster comes on Saturday is one special reason why companies will not go from here, for Saturday is a diffi- cult day for many of the local men to get away from their duties.
 Puzzled Over Ballots. The matter of splitting tickets in the coming election Is one that is giv- ing Killingly voters considerable con- cern 1t is indicated by the large num- Der of inquiries being made as tc forms and practices. This apprehen- sion Is due in a degree. to the fact that so many parties will be represent ed on the ticket. All that the votel need remember, however, is that if ht wants to vote a straight ticket, ht | must do no more than place an X 1T | the circle over the head of the column | of the party for which he desires tC cast his ballot. If he wants to vot,
 split ticket he must not put any } l in any circle at the top of the col umn, but must put an X opposite tn,
 name of every candidate for whom h, desires to vote no matter in wha column the name of these candidate happens to appear.
