casual summer visitors, the family was ready to enter sympathetically into the community life. The great capacity of friendship which MT. Garvin shared with each member of his family soon won for each of them a host of friends. It was a source of great pleasure to all the towns people when this became the family home about seven years ago. The whole community feels the loss of a man who loved his home here and to whom the life of the com munity was a happy, part of his own bfe. The hospitality of his home was simple and democratic, but large aud free. Some of the boys here will never forget the freedom of his home and his big hearted interest in their lives.
 MT. Garvin was a christian gentle man, possessing marked personal dignity, he at the same time was most democratic in his friendships and unreserved and hearty in his companionships- good comrade. Being a true sportsman, he carried the spirit of good sportsmanship into all of his dealings with others. He had the highest sense of pro- fessional honor, and a tempting fee never swerved him from the course of integrity. He was a man of great personal courage and was always true to his convictions and to his high sense of duty.
 He was intensely patriotic, and was the soul of loyalty in all of the relations of life. His big human heart dominated his strong mind and forceful will-a strong man with the gentleness of a woman. We do not wish to be fulsome in our tribute, but we are confident that those who knew him will say with us that we have known few (if any) men who possessed to so marked degree the qualities which men ad- rnire most in men.
 The country has lost a patriotic citizen, the community has lost good neighbor and we have each lost a noble friend. He has fought good fight; he has finished his course; and we are confident that the divine judgment will accord with one hu- man judgment, and that the crown of righteousness is the crowning of his life.

(Continued from page l

 r;ed Miss Caroline Williams at Buffalo who survives him. He also leaves one son, John A., who is q graduate of Princeton University, and is now in business in New York. Another son, James s. was a mem Der of the National Guard of Con- necticut and served at the Mexican border, early going into the service in France where he made the su- preme sacrifice.
 MT. Garvin was intensely patrio- tic and was most profoundly grati- fled that both of his sons should enter the service during the war. The death of James in the service was source of very great sorrow to him; but it was borne with all the fortitude of a brave soldier and a patriot. In this sorrow and forti- tude, as in everything else, MT. and Mrs. Garvin were in perfect sympa- thy. They gave a tablet to Pilgrim church in their sons memory, and one of MT. Garvin's last public acts was the unveiling of an Honor Roll tablet in the church at East Orange, on which his sons name was among those who had died in the service.
 Eleven years ago MT. Garvin pur- chased the Beckley farm under the mountain and named it the "Anketel farm" after the ancestral home in Ireland. This purchase was re- ceived with some interest by the people of the community; but we soon found that, instead of being

THE CONVENTION

Republicans in particular and a great many democratics in general who have become heartily disgusted with the practices of the present ad- ministration during the past few Qyears, have watched the actions of the Chicago convention with more than ordinary interest and what really amounts to eagerness. Lo- !cally this interest has been intense, for aside from the fact that this eonvention would select two men to bear the standards of the republican party at the fall election, which in fself was sufficient to arouse the most morbid imagination, was not Connecticut represented in part by itizen from this town? 9 Undoubtedly a number from this icinity who do not take an active interest in politics, scanned with kore than passing interest the daily apers to see how the Connecticut elegation under the leadership of y be news from Chicago told of the purtesies shown to the state dele htion and later how Connecticut arted the landslide which resulted Senator Harding securing the bmination.
