Last Sunday, Mir and Mrs. Butt, of Bridgeport, with their daughter Grace and her husband and baby arrived at the farm of R. L. Ives. Mir. and Mrs. Butt returned to Bridgeport, but the rest remained under quarantine.
 Mrs. Lizzie Ives Green is also guest at the same place, having re- turned to the old home for Old Home Week.
 MT. and Mrs. Noah Rogers and Lloyd Rogers are at Rogers farm, visiting their father.
 MT. and Mrs. Rebstock have returned to New York, but Mrs. Howarth and Harriet will stay here for the present.
 Mrs. Merrill is visiting her daughter Mrs. E. c. Baldwin.
 Mir. and Mrs. Charles Rogers are at the home of his father, w. l.. Rogers, for few days.
 Sunday was the only day observel this year for Old Home Week and even there, no children were in the audi. ence. The church was beautifully de. corated with gladioli which were fur. nished in quantities by c. l.. Gold and Wallace Hart. MT. Hart had some of the so-called black gladioli, which added to the artistic effect. In addi- tion to the arrangement of flowers around the pulpit and platform, MT. Hart had skillfully arranged a center. piece on the wall facing the audience. MT. Crane was the organist, as usual on that Sunday and his music is always enjoyed and appreciated. Although Mrs. l.. o. Hedden is exceptionally busy this summer she was able to be there and by her fine singing materially add to the service. pr. E. O. Baldwin was the speaker of the morning and all who have heard him as he comes back from year to year enjoy hearing him so much that they look forward hoping 10 hear him again. Rev. O. N. Fitch was once more able to be in the pulpit and conduct the devotional part of the service. Next Sunday there will be communion service in the chapel in the afternoon.
 Doubtless owing to quarantine and no picnic, there was a much smaller attendance than usual at the Scoville Memorial Association annual meeting held after the regular church service.
 Recently George R. Smith and family took dinner with Arthur Hun. gerford's family in Gaylordsville.
 Miss Mary R. Smith has been visit. ing her friend, Miss Mann, in Pitts field.
 Mrs. Fred Cole ami her sister are visiting an aunt who is an old lady of over ninety living in Auburn, N. '.
 Mrs. Weeks and Stella are still stay ing with Miss Bertha Cole.
 Miss Ellen Cochrane went to Lime Rock last Tuesday and was taken seri. ously ill. At last reports she was not under the influence of hypodermics to ease the pain
 Monday morning the village was aroused early by fire. pr. Grand Lienard's s barn was burned, including his car which had just been repaired and furnished with new tires as he was expecting to start with his finally tht-s morning for an auto trip to Maine.
 Monday night the third and fourth degrees were conferred on two at the Grange. The full degree team was unable to be there but by filling in with patrons who were present the de- grees were very wal given, although of course not equal to the work done by the full degree team. Sand wiches, cake and lemonade were served down stairs.
 The same committee will serve for Old Home Week in 1918.
