NOANK
Still Trying to Decide on Road to
 Point-Activities About the Ship yards.

The originators of the petition for
 the new layout of the road from this
 village to Groton Long Point met with
 the selectmen, A. F. Hewitt. J. Alfred
 Mcdonald and M. L. Trail, to consider
 the different propositions There seems to be a division of opinion regarding
 the advisability of this road being put
 in either of the three places under consideration. many preferring the old
 road over the marsh, which could
 easily be built up to make it above the tide at high water, which is the present greatest objection. One of the new To-
 cations is starting from Prospect Hill
 near the residence of Dr. E. P. Fitch,
 crossing the tracks of the New Haven road by an overhead bridge, then on to West View and so to Groton Long Point. This meets with the decided ob- jection of the residents at West View, who claim they cannot go to the Vil- lage by such roundabout road, and say if one is to be built 1t should also be arranged to accommodate them. This calls for the petition for a new layout, leaving High street by the lane leading to the residence of Edgar
 Main, across the waters of the cove by bridge, through the property of George Strong and along near the tracks of the Groton and Stonington
 street railway to the Point. A town
 meeting will be called soon to arrange the difficulty.
 About the Shipyards.
 The tug Britannia, which has been hauled out at the Palmer shipyard for 1 a copper sheathing for the bottom, has been measured and will be ready to launch in a few days.

The work is being done by Baggs of West erly. They will be stepped this week. The towboat for the Erie Railroad company is being fast finished. The repairs on the schooner Caroline But | Ter of New London are nearly com pleted.

Advice of Mrs. solomon. Jr.. to Her
Daughter


o, my daughter, there are many
things / would tell thee, and all for
thine own good Patience may be a
virtue, but wait not too long for the
man who is slow of proposing, for
verify my child there are Others.
The moth fiieth to che flame In
pIayfulness, and tie foolish virgin
fffrteth as joke, but 10 and behold,
nine times out of ten the joke is on
her
Take heed to these truths and
profit thereby. Common sense is
knowing when to begin, but it taketh
judgment to know when TO stop.
Go not to the sphinx for wisdom,
o my daughter. nor to the tombs of
the dead, but go thod 10 the quick
who may yet relate their experience
for they benefit 1t is In truth un-
pleasant to lose your temper, but it
is folly to lose your love letters be-
cause your lawyer may need them.
Sit by my side, o my daughter,
and incline thine ear to my words
Know thou that Folly Is but a noisy
maid who bothers us first with her
laughter and then with her weeping.
Verify, my daughter. white
blackbird fiuttereth before our vision
only during blue moon, and real
helpmeet is a rarity If the wife
we're to take as much interest in her
husbands business as he takes in his
meals, in truth would he soon be-
come a millionaire.
Behold the withered flower upon
the bank. "A few months ago 1t did
proudly glow aloof from its kind
where it might be better observed
and now it is but dry stalk, and
say unto you that nine out OF ten old
maids were coquettes ten years ago.
Yearn not for the things which
are beyond thy grasp. Verify society
(, is made up of two classes, those
who don't want what they have got
and those who want to belong Il
somebody else.
The monkeys of the jungle chatter
shrilly, the ass brayeth discordantl,
and verify I say unto you, o m!
daughter, that the less a woman
knows the more gossipy she is
