 Trolley Rates
 Although no official announcement has been made by the Connecticut company regarding the fare rates which will become effective on cars operating between New Britain and Planville there are many rumors in circulation. The one considered to have the best foundation is that which was told by a conductor last night. He said >eat the rate would pobably be IA cents and) that the in crease is expected to become effective during the first week in November.
 This rate would be greater than the fare the steam railroad. The Connecticut company will give the public ten days notice before the in crease becomes effective.

Tomorrow at the Congregational church Pilgrim Memorial Sunday will be observed. An effort has been made to rally all members of the church to hear Rev. Orville T. Fletch- CT who will present ail angles of the campaign to the congregation. Thus far deep interest has been manifested in the drive and it's object and the prom otion committee awaits with in terest the result of it's work which will be demonstrated by the attten- dance at tomorrow services. The committee is confident that the local church will do it's part in carrying the campaign to a Success fm conclusion. All members of the church are urged to be present to- m ofrow to share in the interest and inspiration of this great movement for the pensionng of aged Congrega- .tional ministers.
 If the attendance at the services is large and the contributions are liberal, the house to house canvass for the drive will be eliminated to a great extent, thus aiding the mittee materially.
