MILL OPERATIVES UNEASY.
Threatened Railroad Strike Would Mean pisastsr@-for.ssM Manx--Thou- sands.

More than 10000 mil operatives in plants along the Norwich and Wor- cester branch of the New Haven sys- tenn were among those who on Satur- day could not see anything nourishing in the railroad strike cloud looming so onlinously at that time. They know .kthat a strike means the closing down of the factories that give them em- ployment, and that closing down means. for many hundreds of them, facing the high cost of living without money to meet that cost. The prospect on Saturday was a black one, for these operatives know they must suf- fer on account of wrangle and turmoil In which they have no concern.
 Here in Killingly a railroad strike %ofz any length would mean temporary industrial disaster for the thousands
 of mill workers and the concerns that
 employ them. Mills in Danielson, Elm sVil1e, Dayville, Attawaugan. Ballou- vile, Pinevi1le, Williamsville and at East Killingly could not long remain in operation with the railroads-the arteries through which flow the in ward tide of raw materials and the outward tide of finished products-idle or nearly so.

SHERMAN RETURNS HORSE
Too Much of Pet for Him to Keep From Owner.

General Sherman was with the main body of his troops, which marched tii- trectsy through my grandfather's plan tation.
 Several days before the soldiers ar rived my grandfather went to Sa- vannah on business. His seven sons and his two sons-in-law were fighting for the Confectionery. Only my grand mother, one of my aunts and the ne gro servants were at home.
 Fortunately, General Sherman led the troops that come to our house that day. His army was "living off the country" and they took most of our chickens, cattle and hogs for food, ap- propriated what horses and fodder they needed and helped themselves to whatever was growing in the fields that was fit to eat; but there were none of the cruelties and insults of which irresponsible bands of foragers were often guilty. General Sherman appeared the courteous gentleman who was performing a disagreeable duty.
 Among the horses his men took from
 
 the big black mare that he had raised himself, trained for his own saddle horse and loved and petted like child. General Sherman took fancy to Bess, and he himself rode her away. When grandfather returned and found what had happened, nothing hurt him so much as the loss of Bess. Scarcely waiting to see how complete ly the place had been stripped he mounted an old horse, the only one he had left, and started after General Sherman's troops. The federal" sol diers laughed at him and his mount when he came up with them, but he paid no heed he was bent on recover jag his favorite horse.
 When he presented himself to the general. my grandfather was a good | deal surprised at the kindness and consideration with which he was re- ceived
 General Sherman" he began. "I cannot give up my horse. she is like child to me. My children are grown up now, and I have taken almost as much care in raising and training her as I ever did with one of them. She knows my call, and will come to me when she hears me. She k yours by right of war, but I win pay you for her. I cannot pay you much now, but I will glye you all that l can possibly spare"
 "No" said Sherman. q believe what you say. When I was riding her away she whinnied and tried to t..rn back again and again. Come out here and let me hear you eaif."
 At that grandfather gave loud, warhling whistle and almost instantly came the answer-a glad whinny.
 General sherman ordered Bess sad dled and he put her bridle rein into my grandfather's hand and bede him ride her home.-Youth's Companion.

When the board found this dis trict so short of funds that it did not have the ready money to pay incidentials, they agreed that those who are rec living the greatest benefit from the school should be asked to give 1t their financial sup port in proportion to the benefit received from the school. As each patron is benefited in proportion to the number of bis children in school they decided that an en- trance fee would be the most just and equitable manner of raising this money.

REPAIRS COMPLETE
ON s. 5. MURPHY

Arriving here early in April, the
American steamship William H. Muir
ply, upon discharging her cargo of
mahogany logs, steamed over to a
berth on the east side Of TarTagona
wharf, remaining there until a couple
of days ago, when, moving into the
stream, she presented the appearance
of a vessel just off the ways. In
fact those who saw the steamer nam
ed, were surprised at the improve
ments which had been effected dur
ing the past few weeks.
The machinery was completely
overhauled, and when the Murphy
departed for loading port, she was
a practically rebuilt steamer.
This is another example of the IA
cilities at steamship repair at the
port of Pensacola. 1t was stated that
practically all the work was not only
| done at Pensacola, but practically all
mechanics and other workmen were
Pensacola people.

Miss Harris, foreseeing the de-
crease in the supply Of cans and real
izing the rapid increase in price
which would result, cont rre4cd for a
carload of cans some time ago. These
are scheduled to be delivered next
Wednesday and will be Immediately
distributed among the county agents.
Miss Harris has also recently placed
another order for a carload of cans,
these to be delivered In ten days or
two weeks. The marked rise in the
price of cans is becoming a serious
problem in the conservation of food
supplies. So far a remedy for the
situation has been partially arranged
by planning the production of such
food products as can be dried and dc
not have to be canned.
