MRS. LEE SERVES NOTICE
Declares Her Right to the Driveway
 Leading to Whitfords'.

Notice has been served on R. H. and H. R Whitford, H. B. Ives, R. D.. Peirce, A. T. Roraback, Charles Nelson, A. P. Briggs and Mrs. Jane Camp, at the instance of Mrs. Ada Strong Lee, advising them that by virtue of her title in the strip of land extending from the highway to the Whitford property, adjoining her premises, she disputes their right to use it as a thoroughfare, such formal notice being designed to prevent the said right of way from being diverted from her possession by adverse user."
 The Whitfords, interpreting the notice as move calculated to deprive them of the right to use the driveway as means of entrance to their premises, and arguing that such implied prohibit tion is detrimental to their business ir- terests, have retained Nickerson and Mum as attorneys to look after their interests.
 J. O. Roraback, attorney for Mrs. Lee, declines to say any thing concern ing the matter for publication.

BIG REVIVAL PLANNED
Christ Church Organizes for Nation-
 wide Preaching Mission.

Plans have now been completed whereby Canaan will soon take part with all America in a big religious movement. Christ Church held meet ings last week and organized for the Nation wide Preaching Mission to be held the week of April 3.
 The Mission will begin on Sunday evening and continue with an evening meeting each night except Tuesday. A children's mission will be held each afternoon. The meetings will be con- ducted in Christ Church with overflow meetings in the Parish House if neces- sary. They will be short, informal and with hearty singing of old familiar hymns. The sole object of the mission is a religious revival and so with the exception perhaps of the.usual Sunday offerings there will be no collections or raising of funds.
 Any one is welcome to attend the preparation meetings. This, Thursday, evening in the Parish House. Rev. A. B. Crichton will give short talk on "The Opportunities of the Mission, !" hymns will be practiced and reports made by the following committees: ::
 Publicity committee, MT. T. O. Free man, chairman; Miss Edith Oliver, MT. Edwin s. Pease and MT. John Rodemeyer.
 Music Committee, MT. T. o. Free man, chairman; Mrs. O. w. Camp, Mrs. R. D. Pierce and Mrs. Edwin s. Pease.
 Invitation committee, Mrs. Jerome G. Root, chairman; MT. Victor Coe, Mrs. George s. Fuller and Mrs. Charles A. Moore.
 On Friday afternoon there will be a cottage meeting at the home of MT. O. T. Vosburgh.

"THE VIR6INtANS"
High-Class Musical Entertainment by
 Accomplished Colored Artists.

NeSo'HPHSHed SoloTeu AUStSs
 The concluding entertainment of the Pilgrim Church course, in Town Hall, Friday evening, drew a crowded house and gave eminent satisfaction to the large audience. The attraction was "The Virginians," aquartet of talented colored musicians and singers, whose every number was enjoyable and liber- ally applauded. The old familiar jubi- lee songs were specially we'll received, and the solos, duets and instrumental selections were given with skill aud splendid effect.
 The ladies of Pilgrim Church, who arranged the course, have reason to feel gratitied by not only the financial results but the rare pleasure they have given to a large number of Canaan people who were wise enough and for tunate enough to secure tickets. And it is gratifying to be assured that a sim liar entertainment course is in prepara- tion for next season, which will be sure of large patronage.

REAL HUMANITY
Mrs. Rowe's Experience Through the
 Feeding of Birds.

@SahiS VI
 During this severe winter MT. and Mrs. Rowe have been hanging suet and corn on a tree close to the low window to attract the birds. On Thursday afternoon while Mrs. Rowe was serenely sitting by the fireside at her home de- vouring the latest news in the popular town paper she was suddenly startled by terrific crash of glass and peculiar rumbling noise in the adjoining room. She sprang to her feet, exclaiming with bated breath, Good Heavens, what has happened?" Hoping that nothing more than a falling icicle had caused the trouble she bravely opened the door. There she beheld in the middle of the floor a nice, plump partridge fiutrering and panting. She made one lunge for it, thinking what dainty dish it would make for the next days dinner, when behold. the bird took to its wings. for getting in its fright, through which large pane of glass it had entered, de- parted through another large window pane, leaving not even feather or drop of blood to prove its visit or pay for its trouble. Next time when a nice bird ventures as near to the dining table as that, she hopes to be quick enough to plunge it into the boiling.pot and bid her neighbors to the feast. x. Y. z.
