THE BIG WIND
The Southern Cyclone Had it's Effects in Canaan.

The Southern Cyclone Had it's Effects in Canaan.
 Friday night, the night of the big wind, was clustering one ill Canaan as we'll as elsewhere. The storm was pre- sumably the fag-end of the cyclone that raised havoc along the coast, especially through the south. Reports from all over the state indicate the violence of the wind which blew down and unroofed buildings and demoralized electric ser vice.
 In Canaan the effects of the big blow were seen in various parts. The horse shed back of the Catholic church was blown over and practically demolished. The small barn on the Dedrick place on East! Main street, occupied by George Kimble, stood upon it's head. One of the ridge-boards on the roof of the Methodist church was ripped off. Half the roof of the barn belonging to W. B.. Sheldon, on the west side of the river was torn loose and smashed One apple tree on the Hardenbergh farm was blown down, and branches of trees all oyer town were broken off and scattered over the streets and walks,

Governor Baldwin's Presence Will

Prove the Great Attraction.

 The chairman of the State Public Utilities Commission.
 The president of the State Business Mems Association.
 The manager of the New England Lines Industrial Bureau.
 The assistant to the superintendent of the Western Division of the N. Y., N. H. 6 H. R. R.
 The only Phil" Troup, of New Haven.
 The pastor of Pilgrim Church, Can aan.
 Such is the oratorial bill of fare for the feast of reason that will follow the 1913 banquet of the Canaan Business Mems Association at The Garfield, next Thursday evening, Jan. 16.
 The banquet committee report prog ress in the arrangements, and 8 larger proportion of early acceptances of the invitations than ever before. It has been customary for most of the recipi- ents to defer sending in their acceptances but this year they are responding promptly, and some are sending the price of tickets $2. 50, with their ac- ceptance, in order to make positively sure of being enrolled. Incidentally, some are still more wisely sending their $2 annual dues, along with the ticket money.
 The various subcommittee also re- port gratifying progress. The music committee have engaged the Hatch 6 Beeman orchestra, of Hartford, and are selecting the yocalists for the singers table,"
 The committee on decorations will make the Canfield's double dining room look more gorgeous than it has ever looked before. and it is hinted that there will be an electrical lighting feature that will be delightful surprise. Unwonted interest is awakened by the announcement of the Governors $ coming, and requests for invitations are being received by the banquet com mittee, from sources and in numbers that cannot possibly be accommodated owing to the limited acreage of the dining room space. The committee are doing their best to accommodate all who have anything like claim to recogni- tion. And the best they can do is the best they can do.

Referring to the forthcoming Ga naan Business Mems banquet, next Thursday, and the expected presence of Governor Baldwin, at that festive func- tion, A. F. Howe, in the New York Sun day Herald, says:
 "From the point of the number of prominent men who attended it, last years banquet of the association was one of the notable social events of the winter in Connecticut, and the responses indicate that this years affair will sus. tain and enlarge the reputation the young organization has won."
