 Charles Huden and son, house painters of the borough, have been at work on the Hill for several weeks.

Pinney, as distinguished figures at every mo- table gathering: Commencement ex- erciSes at Suffield and at Storrs, an- nual meetings at the county home, at Sunday school conventions, at the fair, at the laying of the corner stone at the Memorial church South Will lingtOn and at it's dedication, often at the borough and in their own home, even to the casual caller, typical of New England's best for a half century.
