The family took up its residence In the white house at the foot of Gal pins hill, Berlin. where MT. Bulkeley lived until taken to the sanltarium about two weeks ago.
 He was educated in the old Berlin Academy, an institution which has long since passed away, the old build ing remaining on Berlin street, now a residence. When young man he was engaged with his father in the manu- facture of timers tools, the shop be- ing near the house in those days.
 In 1865 MT. Bulkeley was elected to the state legislature as representative from Berlin, serving at the same time that P. T. Barnum, the famous show man, was in the legislature. Mir. Bulkeley was also extremely active in town politics and affairs. For 10 years he was registrar of voters, for 14 years town clerk and treasurer and for three years tax collector.
 Tn July, 1893. at meeting of the incorporators of the Berlin Savings bank, MT, Bulkeley was elected presi- dent. holding that office until the time of his death having been again re- elected July IS.
 He always showed q great interest in town improvements, having been of the Berlin Library asso- citation, it being mostly through his in fiuence that the institution becan.- open to the public, instead of remain ing private library, as it had been. He was also active in the Berlin Agri- cultural society, having held the posi- ton of president for many years.

He lived alone in the house on Galpin's Hill and took trips 0 New Britain and around the village when his health permitted. He was known by everyone in the town and was liked by all. He is survived by one niece, Mrs Francis Chambers of Hartford.
 MT. Bulkeley's stories of old times n Berlin were interesting. and those vho heard them received a real of the old days in that own, of the old Berlin hotel and of he town as 1t was in Civil War days Ie will be deeply missed by his friends in the town, as Berlin has now ost its grand old man"

TREES NOT DAMAGED BY WIRE
Belief Long Held Has Been Disproved
by Experiments Made by Unlver- j
sity Of Washington Expert. q

In 1918 George r. Rigg Of the uni
versity of Washington heard 1t stated
that shade trees we're being killed By
driving one or two pieces Of copper
wire into each. He recently proceeded
to put this to the test and announces
his result in Science. Six young trees,
he writes, from two to four inches In
diameter were selected, and on March
21, 1919, there were driven into each
tree five pieces of thick copper wire
1.5 inches long The end of each wire
was left flush with the outer surface
Of bark. All wires were within six
feet Of the base Of the tree. The
trees comprised two hemlocks, two
alders, one cedar, one willow.
On July 3, 1922, the trees were ex-
amined and found to be perfectly
healthy. In all cases they had COM
pletely healed over the wires, and
their growth was equal to that OF
other similar trees in the Immediate
vicinity. On cutting into the trees 1t
was found that there was very little
injury to the wood, merely brown
color showing for about 1.5 inches
above and below the wire, and about
OPS inch to each side.

Governor Hardwick
Will Not Enter
Newspaper Field

Governor Hardwick has de-
cided not to enter the weekly
newspaper field in Georgia.
The governor said that the
practice of law will so occupy
his time after he leaves the
gubernatorial chair that he will
be unable to devote the time he
had expectad to THE Georgia
Democrat, as his projected pap
err was to have been called.~ He
added that as soon as the neces-
sary clerical work could be done
he would return the subscriptions
already received to those who
have sent them.
Governor HardWick also said
that he had heard >rumors to the
effect that others were shortly
to attempt the publishing of a
similar paper to the one he had
in mind, and that this belief had
largely Influenced him in aban-
doning his own plans.

Basketeers Suffer
Another Defeat

When we placed the caption,
Suffer Defeat" at the mast
head of this articlewe doubt our
own discretion in the choice of
verbiage, for it seems to US that
the locals suffer but little, or at
least not to proficiency in the
winning of games at this royal
sport.
Leesburg has a master team,
so for as the tact ad talent OF
the players is to be depicted,
though they are weak in some
places.
This team has a great acu-
men individuality though must
have and acquire that same ele-
ment in combination before they
can lay claim to real basket ball
progress.
Leslie team were over here
on Wednesday, the oath, and
the locals went down in this
game with a score of SO to 6.
The Highs are busy with their
studies and have but little time
to devote to ball playing though
since we have such good mater
ial here for a team to represent
Leesburg we are anxious that
they get busy and through or
ganization for the fray. They
can and will have the backing
of the town and we are count
ing on them to furnish us the
ire for some loud hollerin' ana
glad eventides throughout the
season. =
