Norwich bulletin., 1917-01-20

l TWenty-six years ago today the 1 Jewett City news in The Bulletin was | as follows: G. A. Ross met with an
 accident Friday when crossing the | railroad his sleigh struck a pile of frozen dirt. The horse cleared him. l self from the sleigh and departed. The sleigh was considerably damaged On l account of the bad weather Saturday night there was no meeting of the | HopeviIle Iyceum, and the same sub 1 ject, Should State Officers be Elected | by Plurality Vote? will be addressed this week Saturday evening. MT. Frank Bishop entertained the his home Thursday evening. Among the evenings amusements were soap bubbles and progressive angling.
 Farmers in the outlying districts are taking advantage of the present snow to sled their logs to the sawmill. Professor Charles Tuber Gardner | made a short visit with friends in South Canterbury Tuesday.
 Perry Franklin is away on a week s visit to his brother in Coventry. The game of tiddledy winks is quite popular in town s. E. Phinney is the acknowledged local champion. The creamery patrons of Jewett City and other adjacent towns, who have been inclined to think that there was no money in the business on ac- count of the high price of grain and the low price of butter, are now awakening to a very pleasant surprise. With the price of No. 1 print cream cry butter at B cents per pound and l only 6 1-2 speses of cream to make | land farmer who thinks his row is pretty tuff'' will feel young again | and believe that cream making is not a failure after all.
 The changes in the quarter of a century gone are interesting. G. A. Ross has been resident of Boston we'll toward 20 years. Reeds sawInill, | one of the most picturesque of the old l landmarks with it's old up and down saw, has long since passed away. The | old OK sled is hardly ever seen today. Frank Bishop and his family have lived in Rhode Island over 25 years. l The HopevilIe Iyceum, famous insti- tuition, has been long forgotten. and L. F. Kinney, c. c. Palmer and D. l.. Phillips are about the only survivors. Charles F. Gardner has not manipu- lated the keys of a tuba, that instru-
 ment upon which he was once so pro- fcient. for twenty years. S. E. Phin- ney, tiddledy winks expert died in March 1894. The creamery no longer pays it's patrons by space and it's fan cy prints are bringing 50 cents in the local market. A bag of corn costs to- day twice as much and a little more than it did 26 years afo. The cream
 cry still is doing business and was
 never on a better basis than today
 A Near-surprise Party.
 William McCluggage received a visit
 from a large party of friends at his
 home in Sylvandale Thursday night
 It was intended to be a surprise par
 ty, but as often happens, someone in
 formed the gentleman of the fact, but
 he appeared properly surprised. The
 time was en1ivened with games of all
 kinds, and refreshments were served.
 The company presented Mrs. McClug-
 gage a vase, and gave hashlight to
 MT. McCluggage.
