LITcHFIELD'S BI-oENTENNIAL

On August first to fourth, Litch- field, the county seat of Litchfeld County and undoubtedly the most beautiful town in the county, will celebrate it's 200th anniversary. Formal invitations have been re- eeived by many locally to attend and that there will be a goodly representation from this town goes without saying.
 Litchfield is noted for many things besides it's natural beauty, which has not been destroyed in part by the crude efforts of man, but rather enhanced by only a slight touch here and there of the artificial. Its broad streets with parks along the sides and through the center of some, are delight to the eye as well as mentally and physically refreshing to the city sojourner. The stately elms and naples along it's highways are an inspiration, while the traditions of the town itself and the refined, un- assumed spirit of friendliness pos sessed by it's residents bring forth all that is best in the stranger with in it's gates.
 To one interested in historical facts, Litchfield offers a rare oppor- tunity, inasmuch as many of those prominently connected with the Revolution were identified with the activities of it's people. Washington visited there no less than three times, stopping at Shelton Tavern on North street, now the property of John T. Elton of Waterbury, It was there the first law school in tili: country was founded by Judge Tapping Reeve, who was visited by and became the warm friend ct Lafayette, during his famous visit ir 1824-5. Also on South street the place is marked where the leaden statute of King George was melted into bullets for the soldiers of the

Continental army. Countless inter esting places of this kind may be
 found in the town. B.. While the town boasts of many
 noted sons, now deceased, there still remain many of the same stock who have striven to uphold the reputa- ton of their ancestors. Among them is Hon. George M. Woodruff, chairman of the Bi-Centennial com mittee, Litchfield's grand old man, for whom there have never yet been words spoken except in admiration.
 The celebration will continue for four days, the first of which will be Religious and Educational Day; the second, State Day; the third, County Day and the last, Litchfeld Day. Prominent personages from all parts of the state are to speak and be present It. will be something for the town, county and state to re- for some time to. come.

Autsnnobilists are kicking long, high andrloudly over the condition of the road between Lakeville and Millerton, especially that part which IS under construction, says the Lake vile Journal, Seems to us there is little room for kicking when road S under construction, but when one must travel over road similar to that at Twin Lakes, which is not under construction, though it really IS as bad, there is opportunity for strong condemnation.

Thousands upon thousands Of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, OF the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrita-
bic and may be respondent; it makes any
one so.
But hundreds of women claim that Dr..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome srch
conditions.
Many send for a sample bottle to see
what Swamp-Root, the great kidney,
