Brief Items.
 Loca people have wondered how seven meat markets could be financial successes in a town the size ot Plaln- vile and many predicted that there would be a falling out of several In d short time. George BarrOws, Q local man, left the employ of the PlainVllle Cash Market to enter business TOT himself. At the time there were but a few meat markets in the town ana his start was successful. It is hlnted, however, that the path has not been so smooth of late and he is said to have left the town and his business. At any event the store is closed ana Barrows is away. Several creditors have been in town seeking their pay mentS, they said.
 A neighbor in the vicinity or the market stated that MT. BarroWs has not been at his place of business slnce last Friday.
 Carload of Sugar.
 A person would have to be OOth blind and deaf this morning if near the center of the town and not know that a carload of sugar had arrived. The fact could be seen by the wagons of the local merchants vending their way toward the depot and returning loaded with the precious commodity. And the fact could be heard from the lips of everyone in the center who saw the wagons and knew that scarcity existed in town. And local merchants were not the only ones to be qulckly on the spot, as one truck from out of town was seen to arrive and depart heavily laden.
 Local people have been unable TOT some time to get the amount or sugar they desired and conditions were De- coming as in the days Of the recent year when only a pound or two could be obtained at intervals. How far the supply of this morning will go is tsn- known but it will at least relieve the shortage which so seriously threaten ed. Canning time is arriving and the housewives are more anxious than ever to get a supply of sugar on hand before they purchase their goods for canning.
 Electric Cable Line.
 The United Electric Light and Water company of New Britain has a gang of men busy laying heavy cable line from the neighboring cltys power house to this town. Poles have been erected along the right of way of the New Britain trolley line as far as the Landers Frary and Clafk factory building and will be erected as far as Trumbulls This work means another improvement for the town as it will place the heavy cur rent of juice" used by the several large factories on a separate line, capable through means of the heaVy cable of carrying very heavy cur rent which is needed in the factories without interfering in the least with the current supplying other places m town. Heretofore the current has been on the same line. The change may not be noticed at once but 1t Will probably serve to give better serV- ice to houses, etc.
 The work on installing the new line was started after work was be- gun on the new factory building for Landers Frary and Clark in the east ern section of the town. Landers, TrumbulIs, and Rockwell-Drake' will consume some "juice" and the cable line will be of great service.
 Double Tracks Laid.
 Double tracks are being laid at the I,anders' building. One track runs from the trolley into the factory
