EASTERN CONNECTICUT.

Bigger and better things for east tern Conn should be the slogan for the new year. For 1913 this end iof the state has the encouragement of excellent past performances in all lines of endeavor as the business and ] financial conditions set forth in todayis issue concIusively demonstrates. It has long been evident that the counties in this part of Connecticut offer plen- ty of opportunities in all directions for reaping the benefits, if the proper attention and time be given to the development of it's resources and to taking advantage of the natural con Gitfons and making the most of them through the realization of the fact that they exist and the getting down to business.
 Development has been steady and F4sat5ye- The past has demonstrated the possibilities and accorded the most substantial kind of assurance to the future A steady growth is one of the best indica lions of healthy one. It has been possible to demonstrate this condition so positively because of the thorough manner in which the Bulletin oove~s a3s territory, and the magnificent shot ing made by eastern Connecticut in the mercantile. jobbfng and banking lines. owes a good share of it's success to the advertisers who have so well covered the field through the Bulletin and thereby reaped and shared in the benefits. May what has proved 3 record breaking business year be only the beginning of bigger and greater things for his end of tho state It is portended and the use of its natural advantages, facilities and t11e united action of its citizens will accomplish it.

THE START OF PARCELS POST.

With the inauguration of parcels post which service went into effect at midnight one of the most important changes in the post office department, which will operate to the benefit of the people of the country. has been made. It has required a long con test before congress to obtain this ser vice and now that it has been secured it will continue to be one of the inn portant matters before the national legislature until the rough spots are smoethed out and 1t is gotten down nearer to perfection. As already in dioated, it is likely that there will be many complaints. but the justification of them can only be determined by the actual operation. It Is in that that the faults will show.
 The public has a part to play in the starting of this new service and they win doubtless realize they can do much to help make the venture a success. Theory might be advanced for decades but the actual operations can only be determined by setting the portant difficulty has been surmounted the shortcomings and failures can be found and rem nedied. There is every reason to believe that it will do all that is claimed for it and that it will by. expansion grow to meet all the needs of the country in that line. It but needs the cooperation of the peo- pie and legislation to put that branch on the same plane of efficiency as the rest of the postal service.

EMANCIPATION ANNIVERSARY

Today marks the. fftieth anniver- sarS of the going into effect of the Emancipation Proclamation the great e0ict by Abraham Lincoln which was signed Sept 22. 1862 to become effec- tive the first of the January follow ing Though this important act which made great changes in this country, has not been forgotten. it is well that it's half century should not pass un- noticed or it's great benefits be over looked.
 This is one of the greatest events in this country's history, a sweeping executive act which has been asso- ciated with the hard internal strug- gle of the sixties, but which was in spired by the call of right and hu- manity and has resulted in untold ben efits not only to those whom it direct 1y concerned at that time, but to all the nation It changed the whole con- dition of the country and the mar -veIlous progress that it has made since that time has been a complete vindi- cation of the wisdom of the act. It gave the country new impetus and all lines of endeavor have profited from it.
 The difficulties which surrounded the putting into effect of the new meas ure have impressed themselves upon our minds. but they should not ba allowed to overshadow the benefits which followed. It was not alone the negro that benefited but the whole nation, the entire country being placed on a higher plane. It is therefore an anniversary which should not be for gotten and while some celebrations will be held in it's honor many others might we'll have been.

 It is q service which cannot be too highly praised and one in which as great benefit is done to others as is received by the road. Norwich knows how to appreciate the work which it is doing. It was through the efforts of this bureau that the American Thernos Bottle company was brought to see the advantages of locating here and which promises not only to be of great future importance in the indus triel activity of the city. but to be the means of securing other manufactur- ing concerns to locate here

anxiety concerning their baby daugh-

few internos. who were forced to ex-
pend all their energy to hold him in
their grasp. 1t was evident Mr.. Born
