movie serial now is being shown
every Monday afternoon at the Idle

numbers and is punched each time
after admission is paid. At the end
of the service the winner of the
lucky number will be entitled to
voice in $40. The serial runs for
period of sixteen weeks, the first
being shown last Monday.
This picture is to be shown every
Monday afternoon from :; till 6 p.
M, and all children are urged to at
tend.
The Friends Fairgrounds is now
in debt to the extent Of about 5000
and is anxious to wipe out the in
debtedness without further delay.
The managers of the Fairgrounds
announce the grounds will be kept
open all winter.

 Chances for R good fruit crop this year are dubious indeed, according to Everett E. Brown, one of the best known and widely experienced fruit growers in ca st ern Connecticut. MT. Brown stated while in this city Monday morning that the set this year was about the poorest in his memory and atop of this handicap came a freeze that seems to have ruined all chance of getting any crop. Even little fir ~balsams at MT. Browns place were cut down by the freezing weather. Grapes also suffered severely and so did strawberries, plums, peaches, pears and 1 apples. Mir. Brown thinks there may be a secondary -blossoming of strawber- 1 ry' plants, but there is little hope for the other fruit crops. Even on high ] ground fruit plants and trees suffered in a temperature that went down to 26 de- i grees.
