EARLY CANAAN
Extract from {. q. Bronsons Speech
at D. A. r. Picnic.

From the delightful and interesting
historical address given by Mr.. Elliott
B. Bronson. at the meeting of Green
Woods Chapter, d.. A. r., of which
Mrs. Bronson is the Regent, at Mrs. 9.
w. Camps on Wednesday of last week,
we are permitted to reproduce the fol-
lowing extract:
There is an old English maxim that
runs as follows: 1.-The husband reigns,
but it's the wife that governs" You
can therefore readily appreciate the
reason of my being here, and neces-
sarily my address will be short one,
for "A wise man keeps on good terms
with his wife, his conscience and his
stomach. "
1t is truly IA pleasure, as we'll as an
honor, to be given the privilege of adj
dressing such distinguished Society,
and especially the GreenWoods Chapter,
and it becomes doubly SO when well
coined as the guest of charming
hostess and in the far. famed happy
land of Canaan, land truly flowing
with milk and honey-the milk of u
Thou who wouldst see the lovely and
the wild
Mingled in harmony on Natures face,
Ascend our rocky mountains. Let thy
foot
Fail not with WEAKNESS, for on their
tops
The beauty and the majesty of earth,
Spread wide beneath, shall make thee
to forget
The steep and toilsome way. There as
thou stand'st,
Tie haunts of men below thee, and
around
The mountain SUBMITS, thy expanding
heart
Shall feel kindred with that loftier
world
To which thou art translated, and par
take
The enlargement of thy vision. Thou
shalt look
Upon the green and rolling forest tops,
And down into the secret Of the glens
And streams that with their bordering
thickets strive
To hide their windings. Thou shalt
gaze, at once
Here on white villages, and filth and
herds
And swarming roads, and there ON
solitudes
That only hear the torrent and the
wind"
There is no doubt that Canaan can
"hold her own" as a remarkable town

Turn about is fair play, in the view
of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad company, which has
brought action in the court of claims
of the United States against the COVER
nment in an effort to test the parcel
post law. 1he action is directed
against the post office department. to
test the right to use the parcel post for
the shipment of gold.
The railroad sets up a claim for 81, 400
asserted to be due for express charges
for the shipment of $1,000 900 in gold
from New York city to Springfield,
Mass, and TIE fare of seven armed
guards, who travelled between these
points to guard it. The gold was sent
from Washington TO New York city last
October over the Pennsylvania railroad,
from New York city to Springfield over
the New Haven and from Springfield
to Boston over the Boston and Albany
railroad.
According to the railroad the ship
ment should not be regarded as first
class mail. Neither should it be re-
gartled as fourth class-parcel post-be-
cause it was not open to inspection.

SO YEARS WITH THE NEW HAVEN
Engineer Phillips Celebrates Remark
able Half-Century Record.

able Half-Century Record.
Riley E. Phillips celebrated on Sun
day, July IS, fifty years continuous
service on the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad. AS the ranking
engineer and one Of the most popular
men in the service, Mr.. Phillips was
the recipient of many congratulatory
messages from officers and fellow EN-
ployees of the company.
Mr.. Phillips was bern July s, 1916
i'll Westport, Conn, and after receiving
an education in the John E. Lowell
lancasterian school in New Haven he
became Driuter in the old printing
house of Thomas Stafford. He remain
ed II ere Gntil the outbreak of the Civil
War, i'll which he enlisted with his
father in the 10Th Connecticut Volun-
teers, serving all through the war.
Six days after receiving an honorable
discharge from the army in 1865, Mr..
Phillips entered into the employ of the
New York, and New Haven road on
July IS. 1865, as a fireman At that
time the road operated seventy three
miles of track and owned thirty one
engines. In 1868 he became an engi-
neer, but did not receive his papers as
an engineer until August Is, 1870.
Since that time he has managed every
type of engine in the Company's SER
vice and has handled some of the fast
est express trains on the line. Atpres-
ent he takes the Bankers Express from
New Haven to the Grand Central Ter
minal, arriving at the latter place at
9:44 a. m, and returns to New Haven
with the Keene Express, which leaves
the Terminal at 1880 a. III.
During ms years of engineering, Mr..
Phillips has had one or two narrow es-
capes. On December 81, 1885, the de-
pot platform at Pelhamville, N. Y. was
LITE, by a hurricane and thrown across
the tracks, derailing the Owl train and
throwing the engine down a ninety
five foot embankment. The fireman
was killed, but Mr.. Phillips escaped
with slight injuries.
Mr.. Phillips is married and lives in
New Haven. He has three children
living and three dead. One of his sons
was an engineer and died in the service,
through contact with the electric wiring

children remaining, one is Claims AG-
torney for the Company for the State
of Connecticut, with offices at New
Haven, another son is i'll Bowdoin Col
lege, and his daughter is married to F.
f. Bergin, lawyer, and lives i'll New
Haven. She was a graduate of the
New Haven Normal school, and prior
to her marriage was a teacher in the
Worthington Hooker school.
When Mr.. Phillips first ran trains in
to New York City. there were very
few buildings between the tunnel and
Harlem. Cattle were pastured IN the
fields around Tooth street, and loaded
on cars at that point. He has witnessed
enormous strides in the development
of transportation since then; but
despite his active years he ranks with
the pest engineers in the service and
looks and acts as hale and hearty as the
younger men.

28O BALES C|NNfD
 JAN. 1 To JAN. 20

Two hundred and eighty bales of cotton were ginned in Faulkner coun- ty during the period from January 1 to January 16, bringing the total for the season to the last-named date to 22,5S9, as compared with 24,534 to the same date year ago and 20,295 to the same date in 1913. The gin ming during the January 1 to Janu- ary 16 period in 1914 was 734 bales and in the preceding year S5 bales.
 The total ginning from the 1914 crop will hardly reach 23,O00 bales in the opinion of local cotton men, as most of the gins have already closed down for the season and there is very little left unginned. The total gin ming from the 1913 crop was 25,324 bales, which is little more than 2,000 bales in excess of the present crop. The total ginning from the 1912 crop was 20,685 bales, and the 1914 crop will be the second largest on record.
 The final ginning report for the 1914 crop will be made on March 20.
