Great Revival Closes
At Nj. e. Church.

The greatest revival ever held
in the Methodist C b urc h at
Farmerville came to close last
Sunday evening. T h e meeting
continued through four weeks,
and was conducted by Rev, Wal
ter Harbin of Center Point, Tex,
General evangelist of the NJ. E.
church south.
Rev. Walter Harbin is an evan
geiist who has a message for the
people. He knows folks and he
knows how to suit a message to
their needs. Every message de-
liyered by the evangelist was
scriptural and carried with it de-
finite aim. None believes more in
the evangelist's message more
than t h evangelist himself,
til erefore, it is delivered with
force and effect. 1t always gets
results, and results of the very
best sort.
The only evangelist party that
came to Farmersville was Rev.
Walter Harbin himself. One man
truly expressed it, when he said:
"Bro. Harbin is whole team
himself"
The evangelist left monday for
Dallas where he began a meet
ing Monday evening for the Rev.
T. H. Morris pastor of st. Johns
M. f. Church South.

REVOLVER NAY BE CLUE
 TO PARSONS MURDERER
Famous Case Called to Mind by Finding of Rusty
 Firearm
BOY FISHING FINDS GUN
Possibility That Burgess May Have Thrown It There When Fleeing
 from Scene of Murder

The Parsons murder case is again in the limelight, because of the finding of rusty revolver in the Naugatuck river near Torrington. The revolver was found some time ago by small boy while fishing, who turned it over to a woman and even tually found its way to the chief of police of Torrington. Whether or not this is the much-sought gun with which Joseph Parsons was murdered the authorities do not state. Never theless, it sounds plausible and coin- cides with the story that Burgess was seen on the outskirts of Torrington the day after the murder and in- quired the way to Torrington.
 The revolver is of .32 caliber and three shells have been discharged. The murder of Joseph Parsons, at his farm in Norfolk, in June 1921 while he slept, was committed with a revolver of that size, and a like number of shells were used. Parsons was killed by two bullets, while a third wounded his sister, Mary Par sons, who has since recovered.
 The supposition is that the revol- yer was hastily thrown into the river from the road adjoining the water, among the light of circumstances surrounding the Parsons mystery, the finding of the weapon is looked upon as a big step towards solution of the crime.
 Although admitting that such a revolver is in possession of the de- partment, Superintendent Robert T. Hurley of the state police force de clined to discuss the value he placed upon it as a possible clue in the Parsons case.
 Arthur Burgess, the itinerant farmland, who has been missing since the time of the murder, and who has been sought by the police, may have been the one who cast the revolver into the river as he hurried tRSeay from the vicinity of the mur- der. At the time investigation of the shooting was at it's height, reports reached the authorities that Burgess was seen in Torrington on the morn ing after the murder, going through several yards in the vicinity of the brass company's dam.
 Several other reports of his hav- ing been seen in Torrington and vicinity at various times since, have been made, also. AS late as this summer, it was rumored that Bur gess was seen walking along the railroad tracks close to Torrington, and the previous fall, he was also reported as having been spotted in that general vicinity, too.

TREASURY CERTIFICATES
Attractive and Absolutely Safe Form
 of Investment for All

Postmaster Roberts wishes to an- nounce that effective October 1st the prices at which Treasury Savings Certificates have heretofore been sold will be advanced.
 On account of the continued in- crease in value in Liberty Bonds, as we'll as the general advance in all in interest rates, the Government has decided to reduce the rate of interest paid on Treasury Savings Certificates to a basis of 49o compounded sem annually.
 On and after October 1st these se- curities will be sold as follows:
 $25 maturity value for $2O.5O.
 $100 maturity value for $82.0O.
 5000 maturity value for $82O.0O.
 These securities mature five years from the date of issue and being reg istered are absolutely safe-guarded against the dangers of loss by fire or burglary. They also have the ad- vantage of being bought at a mini mum price which increases automa- tically each month the certificates are held. Provision is made for their redemption before maturity if de sired, in which case the interest yield is about 39o on the investment.
 Postmaster Roberts states that un- til October 1st he can sell Treasury Savings Certificates at present prices which will yield the purchaser an in- come of 259o on every dollar in- vested during the five year period to maturity. This will doubtless be the last opportunity to purchase a gov ernment security paying such an at tractive rate of interest for many years to come.
 Postmaster Roberts will be glad to furnish full information and to fill all applications.

TWO FIRES LAST WEEK
New England Slag Co.,, Suffers Heavy
 Loss in Blacksmith Shop Fire.

The firemen were called out twice last week for fires in East Canaan. The first occurred shortly after seven o'clock Wednesday evening at the New England Slag Go. A long, one story building used by the company for a combined garage and black smith shop caught fire in a myster- ious manner and before it was dis covered had reached such proportions that it was impossible to save any part of it. In the shed two gasoline locomotives were housed, one of which was new and had been used only a month. The company esti- mates it's loss at $8,500.
 Saturday morning the firemen were called to Charles Adams house on the lower East Canaan road, where a chimney fire was In progress. Enc fire was practically out when the fremen arrived, but chemicals were used to make sure the blaze was ex- tinguished Little damage was done except by water.

RECKLESS DRIVER FINED
Hits Two Cars on East Canaan Road
 Tuesday Evening

Albert Durant was fined $25 and costs, totaling $38.46 by Judge Ford on Wednesday for reckless driving. Durant is employed by Martin B.. Dodd of Norfolk and was delivering a Big Six Studebaker to Donald J. Warner of Salisbury, when the acci- dent occurred. Two other cars figured in the accident; one belong ing to J. c. Thompson of Twin Lakes and the other was a Maine car, the owners of which refused to prose cute.
 Durant attempted to pass one of the cars on a curve near Lizzie Brogie's. Travelling apparently at a high rate of speed he applied the brakes too quickly. When he skidded he struck a Pierce-Arrow, owned by Maine parties, with the rear of his car. The front of the Studebaker struck the Peerless car owned by J. c Thompson. Fortunately the damage resulting was only slight to all three cars.

NURSE ASSOCIATION
 CANVASS FOR FUNDS
Association Needs $2, 100000 to Carry On It's Work for Another
 Year

The Annual Canvass for funds to maintain the work of the Visiting Nurse Association for the ensuing year will be made Thursday of this week weather permitting. Through our prize essay contest we have learned of several things that seem to be the matter with Canaan, but in one respect at least we bear the mark of a progressive up to date community. We have Visiting Nurse Association which maintains an active and efficient nurse whose training has equipped her to deal with those vital problems of child welfare, public health and the like which in this day and generation may not be neglected.
 This work in our community is al- ready of several years standing and we'll past the experimental stage. Many a family who thought the pro- ject of doubtful value at it's incep- tion has been won to a position of enthusiastic endorsement and regu- lar support. It has constantly made friends for itself until now the Association takes satisfaction in a supporting constituency which is almost community wide.
 Much of the value of this effort can never be measured but on the other hand there are plenty of ,le- finite cases where help has been brought in such a striking way as to make the program we'll worth while in themselves alone. The Visiting Nurse has come to stay the country over and she has come to stay in North Canaan. This question comes up before the people of the town at least once each year on the day of the annual canvass and it has always been decided in the affirma- tive. This week gives you a chance to vote again when votes mean con- tributions. Have your ballot ready when the canvasser calls. Busy women are taking their time from the home duties to make these rounds. Give them a welcome and as worthy an offering for the cause as you can we'll spare.
 The city of Providence recently enlisted every possible civic agency in a united effort to provide ade- quately for tffe- continuance and de- velopment of this work in the muni- cipality and the value which they place upon this effort and the faith which they have in it is indicated by a budget of $75,O0O which they Set for their goal. Surely North Ca naan will not fail to provide it's modest $2,OOO for this worthy cause.

STRONG REPUBLICAN
 TICKET NOMINATED
Nominee for Governor, Charles A. Templeton, Was Born in
 Sharon, 51 Years Ago

The republican state convention held in New Haven last week was but little like that of two years ago, pregnant with significance due to the insurgency of Healey, King and Ullman. All differences were ironed out before the convention, however, as the smoothness with which the machine operated indicate. The re- suit is one of the strongest tickets nominated in recent years, back of which appears to be concerted action for the one purpose of securing it's election.
 Charles A. Templeton, who re- ceived the nomination for governor, was born in Sharon, Conn. A brief outline of his history, as given by Arthur Els of Waterbury, who nom mated Mir. Templeton, is printed herewith. MT. Els said in part:
 When Dr. Lyman Beecher lived at Litchfeld it was said that he was the father of more brains than any other man in America. And Ethan Allen, John Brown and Henry Ward Beech CT were born in Litchfield county. Harriet Beecher Stowe, Collis P. Huntington and a great host of dis tinguished Americans were born there.
 Charles A. Templeton was born and raised in Litchfeld county; born at Sharon 5t years ago, and at the early age of seven persuaded his parents to move to Winsted. He went to work in the Gilbert Clock Company, and worked in every de- partment of that factory. You will agree that seven is tender age, and an early age for boy to work in a factory but stern necessity compelled and the boy did not finch. When 12 years of age he moved to Thomas ton and went to work in the Seth Thomas Clock Company.
 The boy was determined to secure some kind of an education and, there fore, moved up the hill to Plymouth, still in Litchfield county. There the boy went to school but in addition to that worked in the general store, was janitor of the school, janitor of the church, assistant postmaster, milked five cows each day and did the chores. But he also found time to be social and was greatly interested in athletics. He played football and baseball very we'll and became one of the best known sprinters in the state. And in the country he
