STORES HAVE ALREADY CON-

THE EVENT.

Marshal Woodbridge Has Completed
Plans for the Most stupendous Pa
rade in the History of Maury coun-
ty-Work of Committees.

Stores of Columbia are decorating
today for the coming of the big fox
hunters convention which will assem-
BILE here on Monday.
The stores will be resplendent in
the national colors, both inside and
out. Flags and bunting will be pro-
fusely used and residences along the
line of march are also asked to fol
low suit.
Every arrangement is practically
complete for the biggest event in the
history of Columbia With anything
like agreeable weather the greatest
parade ever witnessed in this city
will be seen on that day 1t will con-
tain more than three score of automo-
biles to say nothing of horse drawn
vehicles and men and women on
horseback.
Chief Marshal Walter P. Woodbridge
has left absolutely nothing undone
to make success of the parade. He
has worked day and night getting
things in shape. Headed by the gov
ernor of the state, members of his
staff and the reception committee,
the parade will start at 1920 o'clock
on Monday morning.
Chairman John W. Fry, of the pub
licity committee, has done a great
deal of work. He has secured for
Columbia and Maury county the larg,
est measure of free publicity that
they have ever had. His letters and
reports have been printed all over
the country. He has personally writ
ten probably more than 1000 letters.
Too much credit cannot be accorded |
him for the success of this feature
of the hunt.
Secretary Ashley Sowell, of the |
Board of Trade, Chairman T. L. Cum

and in fact every chairman and direc-
tor has done splendid work.

with regret of her death at Mansfield
on Saturday last, Dec. 4th. Mrs.
Barnes was formerly HeienNV. Long of
Norwich, a daughter of Mrs. Robert D.

many years a resident of Norwich.
Mrs Barnes was a graduate of the
Norwich Free Academy with the class
Of 1902, and later studied art in the

At Norwich in April. 1906, she was

FOUND A WAY TO
DANISH MOSQUITOES.
James Jay Smith Tells What Was
Done at Groton Long Point.

In a recent letter to DR.. Charles
Mallory Williams of Stonington, James
Jay Smith says:
With reference to mosquitoes at
Groton Long Point, our operations
there in Kidding the Point of mosqui-
toes have been a great success. Five
years ago, when we started to develop
this property, the place was known as
a terrible mosquito hole, and they used
to descend on US in droves as we
walked about the property. This was
the greatest handicap the place had in
its development, for people simply
would not go out to look at the lots.
Many people never went over block
from the trolley because of being
chewed up by the mosquitoes, and they
lost heart and went home.
LAS the development of the property
went on, the mosquitoes continued to
hamper us, so we finally decided on
digging bitches through the marshes,
connecting up the various pools and
allowing the surface water to run into
these bitches at low tide.
This past summer, which, as you
know, was one of the worst mosquito
years ever known along the coast, we
were practically free from them at
Groton Long Point. In fact, one of our
cottagers told US only last week that
he thought he did not see more than
three mosquitoes all summer. The
three that he did see must have
blown in on US from PoquOnnoc
marshes, for we are practically with
out mosquitoes unless we get a strong
wind from the north, which will blow
some in on US; then the fresh south
breezes blow them back again, so we
are not troubled.
This ditching operation was very
inexpensive, when you take into con-
sideration the tremendous amountof
good it has done us and the way it
has increased all property values at
Groton Long Point. We employed
crew of Italians, who dug these
bitches the average depth of their
spades, simply throwing the sod to
one side and one man could dig a
great distance in a day.
at is too bad that the state of
ConnecticEt cannot see the great ad-
vantage that would accrue by the
states adraining all the marshy land
along the coast. This could be done
at small expense, considering the
benefit that would be derived.
