 Neri Brothers Split.
 One of the oldest businesses in Plainville changed hands at noon yesterday when Neri Brothers split their business into even shares and from now on will operate separately. The business which has been con- ducted for about 20 years was owned by John, Joseph, Raolo and Fiordo- TO Neri and consists of four stores, three in this town and one in New Britain. It has been run as unit business, each brother sharing alike from the start. The recent death of Raolo Neri in New Britain broke the combination and the three remain ing brothers agreed to split the bus mess evenly among themselves and a nephew. Caeser Neri.
 The store in the old Russell block has been purchased by Caeser, the new store in the Neri block has been | purchased by Joseph and John has taken over the poolroom on East Main street. The New Britain store will be operated by Fiordoro. ,Cae- ser Neri has been connected with his uncle's in business for a number of years. He has been employed in both the New Britain and 'Plainville stores:' Legal papers in the transac- tion are being drawn up by Judge B. R. Gaffney of New Britain and will be placed on file in the town clerks office within the next few days.
 Rev. c. S. Wyckoff to Speak. Rev. c. 8. Wyckoff has been se- cured as one of the speakers at the evening gathering to be held De- fense Day in the>Community theater at 8 o'clock. The evening meeting will be patriotic one which will be presided over by Senator J. H. Trumbull.
 From records it would appear that there are approximately 1000 men in Plainvilie who might be expected to sign the roll on Defense Day, and as the local committee has been re- quested to make a report to General Cole, chairman of the Connecticut Defence Day committee, on the re- suits in Plainville in the enrolment of citizens on Defense Day, the com- mittee earnestly solicite the cooper ation of the townspeople in signing the roll, which will be available at Central Square in tent operated by members of the American Legion during the day and evening of Sep tember 12.
 Guardsmen to March. Senator Trumbull, who is cap tain of Company I. State Guard, has sent the following letter to all form- CT and present members of the company:
 Congress passed an act which was approved by the president. and notice was issued by the War De- partment, designating Friday, Sept. 12, as National Defense Day.
 Tt is desirable that every city and community in the United States CO., operate in this movement. Plain vile did its part during the war, both in taking its allotment of lib- erty bonds and furnishing man pow er-for the war, and in all other war activities our town stood well at the head of the list.
 Let us on Defense Day get to- gether and reaffirm our faith in the flag and the constitution by report ing at the Soldiers Plot at the cen- ter of the town, where a tent will be erected and in charge of former service men who will take your name for one-day enlistment. The tent will be open from a. m. to p. m. Do not fail to report and subscribe your name to this document, as it will be forwarded to the adjutant- generals office in Hartford, togeth- CT with report of all other activi- ties of Defense Day by the town. Let us try and make it 100 per cent.
 Tn the evening 1t is desired that the former members, both active and reserve, assemble at the Legion rooms at 7:45 daylight saving time, md march in a body into the Com ba uyC EDTENJNC.
