 EXCELLENT NOMINATION
 The past few days were fruitful of | honors for Lester O. Peck. On Sat- I urday he was elected president of the | Bethel, and on Monday he received the
 Democratic nomination for Sena tor
 from the 24th district The history 1 of the bank lies with the future, but
 MT. Peek figured quite prominently in
 the history made by the last Iegdsla- ] ture and what he did gives to his l a dation and appeal, On all the meas
 I1reS before that body he was the side Of the public interest as distin i guished from the Interests, Or in other words the banded corporations which have so long, and largely by
 corrupt aseIfcies, dominated Conreetl- some extent been 1oosened, but the separation process is far from com plete and in the renewal of the ap- preaching contest for it's completion I ief7. xc f0Y-re1 valuable service for the good cause if

His former legislative ex- perience enabIed him to pretty thor l ougFlIy weigh and measure the "Sys- | tenn aud it's far reaching ramifica- 1 tions, and this equipment of knowl- edge gives him 2, strong advantage. 1 The opposing candidate, MT. Bissen of l Rfdgefield, entirely suits Chairman Commfttee and former head of the railroad lobby. and presumably there fore represents the interests and the evils which the Den1ocratitc candidate has fought and will continue to fight. For this reason MT. Peck should and doubtless will receive many Republf- can votes. MARK TWAIN PROPERTY. Although the Mark Twain property has been on the market for two years the first sale of any portion of it was not made until last week when Harry LSo;lnebury sold the house known as the Lobster Pot" and the adjacent 21 acres to a Miss Tibbets of New York The consideration was $5,O00, | appraised in the inventory of the es- tate In the offers to dispose of the i seormfield property the Lobster Pot was reserved, and the understanding i has been that Mrs. GabriIo witsch | wished to keep it for her own use when she should come to this country | band. the pianist. on his professional tours.

 THE USUAL THING
 The last appeal of First Selectman Sanford to Highway Com. Macdonald for expedition in the building of the hometown road has brought from the commissioner office tardy response which conveys small comfort. The you report this section in very bad st@te Of repair I would by all means so that it may be made pleasantly passab1e until such time the above named survey has been finished and the State has entered upon the inn proverlent of the sane.''

 MIR LUTTGEN'S GENEROSITY
 Among the orders drawn by the selectmen at their last meeting was one of $75 to Walter Luttgen for his annual salary as town treasurer. Comm odore Luttgen filled out a cor , check and then cancelled z it which means that he declines pay ; for his services.
