The hay dealers met in Stafford last week and agreed that not less than S9 .5O per ton should be paid to the farmer for hay.
 Of course it is possible that other sections may place hay on the market for a short time at a less price and that our hay will have to be held, but if the farmer will stand by the dealer who treats him honestly, he will always get a good price for his hay. Don't sell for less than the price made and you will get it, and better.

whose six children, ranging in age
from 4 to II years Of age. were found
in destitute condition by Mrs. Mary
Johnson, returned to the city from
Norwich and was Immediately placed
under arrest by Colonel Alex Scarlet,
state humane officer.
When Dickey appeared in justice
court he denied that he had inten-
tionally deserted his children. He
stated that he had some money com.
ing on some notes from parties near
Norwich and that when he left to col
elect them he expected to be gone only
a day or two. He stated that he had
been running an account at Sepp's
grocery store and supposed that his
credit was good there. It appears.
however, that when the children went
to obtain some groceries there the day
after their father had left. Mr.. Sepp
refused them any more credit, and
as the father was not at home and
they had no money themselves. they

covered their condition.
In the meantime the parties who
owed Dickey the money were unable
to pay him for a couple Of days and
he concluded to wait until they could.
This kept him there several days
longer. when he got his money and re-
turned home. After he was arrested
and discovered how things had been
going he settled up his account at
Sepps and refunded Colonel Scarlet
the money which he had paid out in
behalf of the children.
The case against Dickey was con-
tinued and it probably will be dis
