Mrs. Nichols Was Famous Portrait
 Painter

Miss Ellen Osgood. in a recent paper at Poanfret, said:
 Another of our townswomen was a portrait painter. I am indebted to Mrs. Caroline Fairfield Corbin for these particulars about her aunt, Hannah Thurber Fairfield. Miss Fairfield was the daughter of David and Hannah Thurber Fairfield. She first left her home in the north part of Abingdon to study under Alexander of Killingly, a we'll known pupil of Gilbert Stuart, historic painter of Washington. Later Miss Fairfield went to New York and became a successful portrait painter. Some of her works were of sufficient merit to be given a place in the Ma tional Academy. During a visit to Windham county she painted, among other portraits, one of Franklin Mich ols Esq, of Thompson, whom sch mar ried in 1899. MT. and Mrs. Nichols made their home in Norwich, where, as Mrs. Corbin says, "Mrs. Nichols in- 1uence in favor of art was wep known for many years.''

CHRISTMAS SEALS. Red Cross Agents Will Start Sales the Day After Thanksgiving.

. The Connecticut State Tuberculosis commission is greatly gratified over the desire shown by health societies and other interested committees to act as sales agents in the statewide Red Cross Christmas seal campaign.
 This is cooperation of the most ef- fectyie and valuable kind and should result in greatly increased sales as well as in advancing the crusade against the Great White Plague.
 State Director Clearman has made arrangements for over fifty agencies in the western part of Connecticut, while the eastern and central sections will probably be covered by a. hum dred more. These agencies retain S5 per cent of the proceeds of the seal sale for local anti-tubeculsosis work, which makes the sale in such commu- mites a purely local health enter prise.

MEXICO "DRYS. 4"
Come off in Great Victory
Saloons Are Doomed.

In an opinion written by
Judge G. B. Faris delivered in
the Supreme Court at jefferson
City in banc last Thursday, the
legality of the recent local option
election, i'll. which Mexico went
dry" is sustained.
The writ of mandamus sou.ht
by the "wets" was to compel the
issuance of dramshop license
to VIM. Kemper and it is denied.
The "wets" raised the quc,-
tion of the referendum as apple
TO the county unit act, )" which
they declared was not suspended
by the filing OF petitions with thu
Secretary of State.
"The drys," in view of this
contention, were in the peculiar
attitude of urging that one of
their chief policies of legislation,
something they had fought for
years to obtain, was suspended
by the invoking of the referen-
dunn.
The decision of Judge Farris
sets at rest any doubt as to when
the referendum suspends a law
against which it is invoked. 1t
Is suspended when the necessary
petitions, adequately and proper
ly signed, are fled with the Sec
retary of State, he ruled. He says:
When we consider the pri-
mary object of the adoption of
the referendum and have regard
to the evils which its friends had
III mind to correct by it any view
other than that it suspends the
taking effect of the act against
which it is invoked until n vote
be had, is illogical and well-nigh
unthinkable.'
Judge Farris, it is reported
poked fun at the "wets' for
their contention-it was too
thin to hold booze, sure and
good.
Macon, Mo, April News of
the decision of the Supreme
Court in the Mexico case was re-
ceived with qualification by Ma
con temperance advocates. Ma
con voted dry in December and
had the court held the county
unit ineffective it would have
meant a notification of the elec-
tion here, the same as at Mexico.
