A gentleman travelling for a North
Texas concern was in Bryan today for
the purpose of securing a house apd
locating here with his family, to be
nearer the center of his territory.
When he arrived here, however, he
found the city was not equipped with
gas, an iron-clad requirement of his
wife, consequently he had to pass
Bryan up. There is no public utility
of greater convenience or that brings
more solid comfort than gas, and The
Eagle believes a plant would pay in
Bryan. The attention of the CONNER
cial Club is respectfully invited.

Former Canaan Preachers House Des-
 troYed by Fire at MiddIetown N. Y.
 MiddIetown N. Y. papers received by Canaan friends of Rev. T. R. Wallace contain particulars regarding the burn ing of his house Monday night January 15. Fire was discovered by MT. Wallace just as he was about to retire, he quickly gave the alarm, then gave attention to getting Mrs. Wallace and the four chil- dren out of the house, they escaped ill their night clothes, losing practically all their clothing.
 The origin of the fire was mystery, as it seemed to follow the partitions all over the house. and proved stubborn fire to fight; great damage was done by water, practically running all of the furniture in the house, much of which was new, as the house had been repaired and return ished since MT. Wallace's return from England last fall. His library contain ing very many choice volumes which it will be impossible to replace was a loss that was keenly felt by MT. Wallace.
 The house and contents were insured but not enough to cover the entire loss. The News extends it's sympathy to the pastor and his family.

 Home in Ashley Falls.
 The death of MT. Parsons late Thurs day night, came as q surprise to most of his friends who had not heard of his serious illness but for several months he had not been well. and his system was unable to withstand the attack of disease.

Strong. for some years successful timer and stove dealer there on MT. Strong's removal to Canaan Mr. Parsons went with him and remained in his employ for few years.
 February Il, 1875 he married Mary B. LeRoy, youngest daughter of A. LeRoy, one of the best known old.time merch chants in Southern Berkshire.
 About this time he started stove tinwars and jobbing business on his own account, which he continued until the death of MT, LeRoy, when he succeeded to the management of the general store in connection with his own. He was postmaster for number of years and later. on account of ill health. he disposed of his stock of gen eral merchandise and devoted himself to the care of his place. working at his trade as hls health permitted.
 z Probably no cue will be missed more in the community than "Tot" Parsons 1; for he knew everybody, and his heart and hands were always open to help anyone inneed he was devoted to his home and tenderly cared for its inmates.
 The funeral services were at the house Sunday afternoon, Rev. Nj, B. Snyder making the address The floral tributes were profuse, expressing the esteem in which MT. Parsons was held by his friends and neighbors, who com, pletely filled the large house. Many friends and relatives were present from out of town.

 Great Success.

Piano Fund Dance Held Friday Evening
 Great Success.
 That the Piano Committee of Canaan High School has the ability to do things was shown very effectively Friday even ing. when over 150 people gathered in the Town Hall, and tripped the light fantastic from 8'3O until midnight. Under the direction of Miss Atwater, the hall was gaily decorated with ever green trees and wreaths, and the walls were festooned with the school colors of blue and white. The refreshment com mittee, in charge of Miss Pr1ndle. pro- vided free punch for the thirsty. It was noted that the flowing bowl had to be re- filled several times during the evening.
 A large part of the success of the affair was due to the Cdn;L;tn Band. The band was there in full force, and played very acceptably, Miss May Kegler also kept things lively with the piano.
 One especially enjoyable feature of the evening was the grand march. in which about sixty couples participated. At its close each dancer was presented with a lollypop.
 The patronesses were Mrs. Preston. Miss Minnie Peirce, Miss Louise H. Bragg and Mrs. Edward L. Roberts. The ushers were Miss Nellie Ivory, Miss Helen Whitford, Miss Ellen Cecilia Lin dell, Miss Elizabeth Peirce.
 About $40 was added to the Piano Fund as a result of the dance. The fund is now $84.
