FURS WHICH ARE LEADERS
 IN THE SEASONS STYLES

Perhaps no class of merchants has mad better season than the fur deal CTS. even with mid summer heat pre- NaIllng. In fact for them the season is now twelvemonth. due to the ever increasing vogue for summer furs Naturally they would not protest if
 a cold snap were to come tomorrow; but even a mild fall is not seriously there is plenty of winter coming! Tuape and Lucille fox are the lead ing furs in popularity this year. The latter is a rich light brown. sets sell ing a from S20o up.
 The demand for white furs-except crmine-has dropped off. even for cX- elusive summer wear.
 Black belts continue in strong favor, meeting Sp1endidly tho requirements of style. utility and beauty. Black lynx is exceedingly popular. and after taupc fox and Lucille fox, skunk is in
 big demand.
 Of course mink retains its leader ship. but it is growing harder to get. consequently morc expensive daily. Some beautiful examples of the sea sons smart mink scarfs, shown on Tuesday are priced s10o. while mink short cape with tails comes at S225.
 The round, melon huff is Fashions favorite, although some swaGger eX- amples of the beautiful canteen shapes are shown. An elegant black lynx canteen huff admired Tuesday was
 ticketed S115.
 Women intending to buy furs are losing money every day they put off purchasi as prices are due to ad- vance sharply with the advent of the first real nippy day of frost.
 Wise shoppers will make their se- lections at once. learning from The
 Bulletins advertising columns who are the leading furriers and what splendid stocks they have to offer.

 CONTINUE AS SELF ECTMAN

After eight years of service as first seIectman Of the town of Montville. George H. Bradford has decided that he cannot continue in the office long CT because of the pressure of other business. His present term expires on Oct l. MT. Bradford is also one of deputy motor vehicle inspector for this district. The duties of this latter of flee fill his time so much that he has little 10 spare for other work. With his associates on the board MT Bradford has conducted the town affairs with economy and efficiency. From the reports for the year to Sept. 1 this year. it appears that the ! town incurred an additional indebt- edness of s11, ,000-this being ball. ance due on the short time loa- when in fact the expenses have bt / kept ss.Ie0 below the income af,,r the extraordinary expenditures have been deducted.
 During the year. short time loans amounting to 5000 were made. of which sum S12,o00 have been paid. leaving s11.00O due. Balance in the treas sury Sept. l. S7499 applied leaves s35o1.
 The barn struck hy lightning and totally destroyed about year ago at the town farm was replaced by a substantial and sanitary building a a cost of S1.923.77. The s22o received for the insurance on the barn destroyed, applied leaves a net cost to the town for the new barn, s1.70o.
 At the Montville Center school dis trict where the chapel has been used for schools. a new building was erect ed at a cost of $7 800.
 By an act of the legislature. the town was given the right to use the fund of the First school society to apply on the new building. The fund amounted to $4000 making the net cost to the town. g 300.
 Two parcels of land were purchased in Uncasville for $4 900 and $3000 to be used for school purposes.
 These expenditures, amounting to s12200 considered the report shows the running expenses to be $S,100 less than the income of the town for the year. without making any allowance for the increase in the cost for labor on hishWavs and for material.
