A very pretty wedding took place last week at the home of Mrs. M. A. Lawrence, when her daughter, Miss Minnie Augusta Lawrence, became the bride of Samuel Augustus Cur tiss, son of Mir. and Mrs. A. P. Cur tiss. The ceremony was performed by Rev. William Brewer Johnson, the ring service being used.
 The bride was charmingly attired in white georgette crepe over white satin. There were no attendantsi and only members of the immediate families attended the ceremony which took place in the parlor.

A Frog and a Moral

"'A large bullfrog sat on the banks of the Housatonic river bea- lowing loudly says the WinsteA Citizen. Suddenly Charles H. Pease. member of the state fish and game commission, saw a large pickered jump from the water and grab the frog by one leg, pulling it into fhe water, where an animated fight be- tween pickerel and bullfrog took place. The pickerel finally dragged the frog into the water and disap- peared down stream This simple fable by the Winstedian Aesop teaches us that it never pays to sid on a bank and below loudly. Le& us rather keep active and make little noise and the pickerel fate will not so soon yank us down into the wat CTS of oblivion."-Waterbury Re- publican.

J.. PARSONS BUYS
 CANAAN MERCANTILE CO.
Will Conduct Store on a Strictly Cash
 Basis

J. L. Parsons, proprietor of the well-known mercantile firm of G. L.. Parsons 6 Son, has purchased tke entire stock of the Canaan Mercan- tile Co.,, from A. W. Holsapple. MT. Parsons has also acquired lease to the store occupied by the Mercan- tile Company and plans to continue the business on what is commonly called the leash and carry" basis, practiced by chain stores throughout the country.
 In an interview with a News rep resentative, MT. Parsons stated that with prices of all commodities con- stantly advancing, a great many people would willingly carry few packages in order to save several cents on the cost.
 This method should appeal to the thrifty housewife.
 This cash and carry plan will apply only to the new store, which will be conducted independent of the other business. The same busi- ness practices will be followed in the odl store as heretofore.
 MT. Parsons has been very success full in the mercantile business for a number of years and from his past record the success of his new under taking seems assured. The new store will make the fourth owned by MT. Parsons. He now conducts a gen eral store in Clayton, one in Norfolk and personally supervises the busi- ness of the old firm of G. L. Parsons & Son.
 MT. Holsapple has not yet decided on his plans for the future. He will close the store, for the purpose of taking inventory on Monday, after which time it will become the prop erty of MT. Parsons.

The annual meeting of the stock holders of the New England Slag Co.,, was held last week, and the fol- lowing changes have been made: ..
 John R.. Strain, General Manager of Hale & Kilburn of Philadelphia, Pa. continues as President of the Company. A. W.

On this road are the two reinforced concrete bridges over the Blackberry, and Housatonic rivers, both built entire ly of Slag. The state of Rhode Is- land and Connecticut have both used thousands of tons on various other roads.

NEW ENGLAND BODY
 CO.,, HOLDS st MEETING
Outline Plans of New Cor poration-Will Sell
 Lumber, Too

The first meeting of the Board of Directors of the New England Body Go. was held at the office of J. C.. Roraback on Wednesday, May 12 at 2 o'clock. The plans of the com pany were discussed in detail and it was decided to continue the busi- ness of the Canaan Lumber Go. in order to supply the local retail mar kete with building materials. The wholesale branch of the business will be conducted as a separate depart ment, enlarging the output to two million feet of lumber annually. Additional mills will be provided for cutting timber to supply the require ments of the body building Depart ment of the Company.
 The Economy Hoist and Body Go. of New York will sell the entire out put of truck bodies as fast as they can be produced. That company has large selling organization of truck distributors and dealers and are at present selling hundreds of steel and passenger bodies through out the United States.
 The Economy Hoist and Body Go. have their own representatives in Manchester, England, Havana, Cuba, and in the East Indies, China, Africa and India. Specially designed bodies for the export trade will be built at the Canaan plant for foreign trade, to meet the special conditions abroad.
 Since the announcement of the New England Body Co.'s entrance to the auto truck body building field, applications have been received by its selling agents for total of more than 5000 bodies for delivery in 1920 and 1921. There is no doubt that the plant will have to be enlarg- ed materially tos supply the demand.
 The management of the business will be thorough in the production department as we'll as in the sales department. c. c. J. Gunner, for merly associated with the General Motors Go. of Flint, Mich. will take up his residence in Canaan and will supervise the production. In addi- ton a practical body designer and superintendent will be placed in charge of the shop and assembly departments. E
 The company plans to keep the executive management in the control of local interests and therefore in vites the investigation of Canaan residents. It is to be hoped that those who want to participate in the earnings of the company will confer with its attorney or with W. S. Smart, cashier of the Canaan Nation al Bank. A limited amount of pre- ferred stock of the company is off, cred for sale at $1O0 per share (par value s100) and with each share of preferred stock sold one share of common stock (par value $50) is given as a bonus.
