 Mrs. Smith has returned from her
 enjoyable week in Hartford and New
 Haven.
 old friends of Leverett Merrick of
 Bristol here in his native town were
 much saddened by the news of his
 death.
 The weather was very unpropitious
 for the stereopticon lecture in the
 Baptist church Sunday evening and
 the attendance was small. The W. O. T. U. meeting at Mrs. : Holman's Saturday afternoon was . very interesting, and the reports of the great conventions excellent. The ladies of the Aid society are busy preparing for the sale to be held at conference room Tuesday evening, Dec. 9th. Articles from absent friends would be gratefully received. A good many interesting points re- garding the moth and caterpillar pests were brought out at the grange. One was that spraying with poisonous sub- stances kills the birds.
 Miss Jennie H. Church last week received $1O for third prize in floral contest that she had answered with her characteristic originality and in- genuity. There were several thous- and competitors.
 The Saturday evening rehearsals at conference room continue to be pleas ant socially as we'll as great benefit in the way of musical practice. There are very few country communities that have the benefit of such an instructor and leader as Miss Cunning.
 Mrs. Robert P. Pratt and daughter visited at F. W. Pratt's for a few days last week. Miss Alice W. Pratt was at home from Suffield for the week end. It was the pupils in her school, mentioned in Springfield Re- in the tent caterpillar egg-mass con- test.
 For those who live at distance from church the home department of the Sunday school is a greatly appre- ciated division of the church work, especially in the winter. It would greatly simplify the reorganization of the department if all who will join the class would write a postal card to that effect to Mrs. Preston, assistant superintendent of the Sunday school, that it may be known how many of the quarterlies to order. If it is more convenient to telephone her the number is 293, ring 4. The names for the cradle-roll, too, should be sent in at once to the same address, Send child's name and birthday and you will receive enrolment card. The music for Christmas is already being reheasred. It is very pretty indeed. A large attendance is de- sired next Sunday.

 Miss Cora Devereaux rece ived word Monday from her cousin, Mrs. B. Y. Moor, of St. Petersburg, Fla, to the effect that MT. Moor was in the hos pital and seriously ill. An operation disclosed the fact that there was tumor that could not be removed. MT. Moore is pastor of a church in St. Petersburg and was formerly pastor of the Congregational church in town. MT. and Mrs. Moor were here on a visit this past summer.
 MT. and Mrs. Walter E. Malo have the deepest sympathy of all in their recent bereavement. Little Bernice Adena, their youngest child, 2 years, 7 months and 9 days of age, died Fri day afternoon, the 14th, of acute gas tro-eutritis that developed into men, ingitis after an illness of only two days. She was an exceptionally | bright child, but had not been in the | best of health through the summer, although not seriously ill until her last sickness. The local Sunday school, in the cradle roll of which she was enrolled, voted at the last Sun- day sessions that Rev. E. W. Darrow and Secretary James Gallup Serv ice be committee to draft resolutions ex- pressing the sympathy of the school for MT. and Mrs. Malo. At the church services it was voted to ratify similar action taken by the church on Will lington Hill in the morning. Funeral services, conducted by Rev. B. W. Darrow, were held at the house Mon- day afternoon at 1.3O o'clock. "The many floral offerings were pure, sweet and dainty, like the dear little life that was so like ray of sunshine to all who knew her." Among those from out of town were Mrs. Thomas A. Denman of Springfield, Mass, and
