Keen the Weeds Down.

Attack the weeds as soon as they
appear in the garden. It is Less work
to keep a garden clean from the be-
ginning than it Is after the weeds have
feeders and rob the garden plants Of
food and moisture they require.
Dandelions, plantain and dock can
best be removed from the lawn by cut
ting them off below the crown. Fill
up the holes with earth. Cut the
weeds every two weeks and all will
soon disappear-New York Sun.

What other Connecticut town was

Whistler was q pioneer spirit, and
Whistler lived as two periods Of his
life in Stonington.
After the long series of cOnquests,
beginning with the Indian and ending
with the summer visitor, StoningtOn
now enjoys the fruits Of victory. In
peace she sits under her ancient elms,
while the harbor waters lap her shores
and surge beneath the ruined wharyes.
1t is recorded that Rufus Choate once
said of Stonington that it was the only
place he had ever seen that was en-

Spirit of Its Early Settlers.
The spirit that moved Stonington to
defy the British on the Goth of August,
1775, more than ten months before the
signing Of the Declaration Of hide

of the region, in 1865 published their
own Declaration of Independence.
