The MackenZies
Off for Bryn Mawr

The reception and farewell party
given to Rev and Mrs. Charles Cor
don Mackenzie on Tuesday evening
last at the Palisade Church proved
one of the pleasantest affairs OF the
season. Rev. and Mrs. Mackenzie left
on Thursday for his new post at Bryn
Mawr, Pa, where he is to teach and
preach in combination. He will teach
at the Bryn Mawr College and preach
as an assistant at the local Presby-
terian Church. The party in his honor
Tuesday night brought out about sew
enty-five members Of the congregation.
The evening was most agreeably
spent. There were games and Mr.
Mackenzie made a feeling talk, again
emphasizing his regrets at leaving
Palisade. There were any number of
songs, with Mr. Bennett at the piano
and Mr.. King leading the singing. The
evening proved most enjoyable, and
all present said their good wishes to
the Mackenzies in hearty fashion.
There was a theatre party given in
honor of the Mackenzies on Monday
evening, also Palisade party of ten
first dining at the Polly Paulson tea
room, New York, then going to the
Fool" play of many fine and seri-
Gus excellencies.
A pretty incident in the leaving Of
the Mackenzies was the fine gift of
cut glass bowl to Mr.. and Mrs. Mack
enzie by the Young Peoples Society.
Also, the $3.50 Club presented Mr..
Mackenzie with a fine gold-mounted
leather bill-folder. The Alpha girls
gave them pair of brass candle
sticks, the American Legion beauti-
full and tasteful pair of gold cuff links,
and the Pioneer Boys paid tribute by
entertaining the Mackenzies at a party
in the church basement on Thursday
evening, March 20. There are many
regrets at the leaving of the Macken-
zies, and the entire church congrega
ton wishes them well and all happi
ness and prosperity. Little Gordon,
the Mackenzie baby, has grown to be
a popular favorite, and one Of these
days he may be coming back on visit
with his parents. Let all hope so.

Georgia Congress'n
Talks Prohibition

Congressman Upshaw, of Georgia,
spoke last Sunday night at the Con-
gregational Church, Grantwood, before
a large audience on prohibition His
subject was Christian Citizenship and
Easter Dedication. Mr.. Upsnaw came
heralded as great orator. He is an
interesting personality, speaks with
a form of sincerity that cannot be de-
MED, and, if he. could dissociate him
Self from a tendency to be so con-
stantly humorous throughout very
serious discussion, he would make
far better impression. He is lame,
and uses crutches. He sat during a
portion of his talk, discarding one of
the crutches when he stood and spoke.
He believes in prohibition, and pre-
sented many unanswerable arguments
in its favor. He said that the saloon
with sense wants it, and that no man
should be elected to office wilo did not
say outright that his personal disuse
of anything in the way OF drink should
be clearly stated and established. He
wanted no evasion of the law During
the speech Mr.. Upshaw told any num-
ber of amusing incidents and stories,
including some chestnuts. An old lady,
rushing UP to a village station, finding
she had just missed the train, stood
face to face with a traveller who also
missed the same train, and who said,
Damn that train" only to face the
lady with her bandboxes, VINO looked
at him and said, "Thank you, sir!"
from her heart, found the Georgia
congressman telling this same story,
only he put it on Pastor Gauss, of the
Grantwood Church. In a way, the
speech was interesting because of the
earnestness of the speaker, but he
failed to grip because his eccentrici-
ties were so pronounced. But he is
interesting and sincere, no doubt of
that He made fine impression where
he became serious and got away from
flippant talk intended of course, as
an allowable form of humor. Keen
witted, he made many little sallies in
tended to impress his hearers that he
was witty and couldn't help it. 1t was
this self-conscious, air that failed to
be as impressive as it might have been
If he had been naturally or uncon
sciously humorous. His interpreta-
tion of the meaning and the feeling of
the 18th Amendment was forceful,
brilliant and truly eloquent. At times
he rose to the heights.

John Bianco of Springfield, Mass
was fined $50 for reckless driving In
the Berlin town court last evening
and a. fine of 5000 and costs with a
suspended Jail sentence of 80 days,
were imposed on a count of transport
ing liquor.
Bianco was arrested Sunday, June
"a, on the turnpike by state police
men after he had cut in on several
cars during heavy traffic. 1t was re-
ported that he was travelling at a
speed of % miles an hour just before
he was arrested.
When the officer opened the door
of the automobile the liquor was
found. No mention was made during
the court proceedings of an, alleged

Crash on Turnpike
An accident in which two cars were
badly damaged occurred on the turn
pike in front of E. E. Honiss' store
this morning shortly after 9 o'clock.
An automobile owned by Hartford
salesman and bearing the license
number HIP was standing in front
OF the store while the owner was In
the store taking orders. Another car
bearing the New York license SSS,S96,
came up the hill on the Middletown
road at high rate of speed and fall
ed to keep to the right side of the
road, crossing the street and crashing
into the Hartford car. The latter, a
new one, was badly damaged, the
radiator being smashed and the fen
ders being bent. The owner of the
New York car started in the direction
of Hartford to report the accident.
1t is thought that the New York
driver became excited, and could not
make the turn quick enough. He
narrowly escaped being involved in
another crash when he turned to go
to Hartford, there being several cars
coming along the road.
1t was suggested that warning signs
should be erected about half way UP
the hill to inform strange motorists of
the intersection with the main road. |

to get this mixture was to make it at

large bottle of this famous old recipe,
improved by the addition of other in

Don't stay gray! Try it! No one can
possibly tell that you darkened your
hair. as 1t does it so naturally and
evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft
brush with 1t and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
a time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another applica-
