 A couple of weeks more of good weather and the new state highway south on the river road will be com pleted. It is all done in Stafford, Holland and Ellington, but there is short strip in Wilmington. This job has been in progress about 13 months, and owing to the conditions met has proved a very expensive stretch of highway. There are four miles and half of it and it will cost $44, 900. This is nearly $1O,OOO a mile, and it is worth it. It has been brought to grade and the road from here to the railroad bridge will prove very satis- factory to drivers of motor vehicles as we'll as teams. There are no ups and downs; it is all straightaway going. The new highway crosses the railroad and the bridge at grade, doing away with the two hollows that exist ed previously. It has taken time and money to build this action of high way, but it is built right.
 Three union meetings of all the churches of Stafford are being planned | by the evangelistic committee of the | federation of churches for Nov. 3O, to | be addressed by Rev. Dr. MD. Knee land of Fremont Temple, Boston, sec- rctary of the Lords Day League of i, New England. The Baptist and Uni versalist churches at the Hollow and | Methodist and Congregational church. vice as a federated church, with the Baptist church at the morning service. | In tho afternoon Dr. Kneeland will | speak at the church at West Stafford 1t 3 p. m. The evening meeting will be federated service in the Congre- yatioual church. conducted by the Methodist and Episco- 'al churches, assisted by the towns 'eople generally. . pr. Kneeland is oing a great work in many ways in reating public sentiment for cleaner observance of the Sabbath, using the influence of the league membership or upholling existing laws for the observance of the Sabbath, as we'll as the enactment of laws tend ng to let down the bars toward a vide open Sabbath. Special choral music will be provided and the meet i, ings made we'll worth the attendance of every patriotic and home loving citizen.
