 Kennedy at Gen. Lyon Inn. The duet
 rendered by Mrs. Fred Bowen and
 Miss Converse at the c. E. meeting l Sunday evening was exceptionally l pleasing. !. l ''Eastford's enterprising enthusi-

 Mrs. Augustine Bartlett of Grove
 street, Putnam, is modestly growing
 because one of her hens dropped a 1 double-yolked egg last week. That's
