mony was performed for their own church on Mckinley avenue.
 With an appreciation of what this in stitut;on is doing for their race and their children, the two score members have made offering a habit and sacrifice a pleasure, and for forty years have con- tinued their efforts to fill their place in our religious sphere.
 Recent rent conditions did increase the difficulty of keeping up their obligations as formerly. but unified opinion consid- cred that the purchase of parsonage might overcome that handicap if in ad- dition to interest, the difference from rental could be paid on the mortgage principal.
 Plans were therefore laid, made, and carried out The hired house was pur- chased and extra sacrifice continued, with the outcome that $500 was paid off thereby as a supreme effort.
 During the interim of the summer suggestion was. made to their members that foreign missions was not our only interest in contributing to world i'm provement, and a belief that many would find pleasure in sharing by a home missionary contribution.
 Without former experience in general campaigning, the remaining $500 mort gage appeared an impossibility. The en- couragement of 12 reliable citizens lend ing their names as sponsors for the eff fort started the actual campaign in August. The satisfaction of raising one half the amount and the pleasure of it's running over the thousand dollar mark have come and gone.
 Contributions still continue and with the hope of materially reducing the $500 balance, double post cards are being mailed offering the privilege of piedging dollar or moro to the final effort
 Invitation is given to any one dAsirous Of giving to send pledge or money 70 Charles ]. Smith, treasurer of parsonage fund, 17S Broad street Norwich.

TOUR FREIGHTs CUT ON
 NEW HAVEN ROAD EERE

Slacl1ness in work among the mills and manufacturing industries of Eastern Con- necticut has brought about q cut Ill the freight service on the Norwich Se Worcas- ter lire of the New Haven railroad. Four night freights passing through TAiS city, two north bound and two south bound have been suspended and will not be restored until there is call for their reinstatement.
 The New Haven. finds its freight busi- ness hit hardest along the eastern eusa of the state. Mills ic the Eastern Con Eecticut valleys probably never had such dull season as the prasent one. Coc- ton fabrics and woolen miIis are doing little or nothing. The cotton fabric 11iis had been utilized by the automobile trade and when that fell away there was nolh- ing for the eastern Connecticut mills 10 do. Mills that only a Lw1ct time a;o were working the clock A:eund now are either shut down or are running for two or three days week.
 The shoe trade aIsU has failsd serious ly and the New Haven finds but very lii- tie call to move freight out of southeast ern Massachusetts. The situation in the other sections of Come cut is but little better than around Norwich.
 Just at present the New Haven is devoting it's energies to moving empty freight cars to western points. When this business of cleaning up the sidings is finished a further reduction in the nun. Der of freight crews is to take place. Jus how sweeping this reduction will oa is something that cannot be deterlainsf ir advance, everything depending on wheth CT there is a business revival. With the falling off of s-si-ht serv!c; there is likely to he an automatic ratsuc ton in the clerical forces of the EaH Haven road. But the clerks will be abou the last to feel the effect of a falling off in business

That SO much crime is being committed
these days. and criminals not particular
ly timiI but very apt in the art Of get
ting away, it would seem as though
county sheriffs, deputy sheriffs, police
men and all officers privileged to carry
gun. should go West buy a broncho,
and big six shooter, join a cowboy bri-
gade and learn the art of shooting.
shooting in the air don't stop thief,
this fact being illustrated in Thurmont,

Let every officer carry openly a CUR

county put up a range where target
practice may be enjoyed and men learn
to hit the mark when occasion demands.
