We have however. information which seems to be very reliable, that sew enty-fve to one hundred years ago the community was known as Cotton Factory" There are numerous peo- pie about here now that formerly knew it as Lower Eastford, and some as the Lower Village. This information may be news to the na- tive born who reside there. or those of the younger generation. Referring to the native born. that Is, born inI what we are calling PhoenixVIile, tol the best of our knowledge there are not over six persons that have arrived at the electors age still residing there who were born there. Our opinion also is that less number than six still reside in what Is known as North Ashford who were born there and that have arrived al the age ef twen- ty-one years.

Getting Too Smart

That he was running things with a high hand. That being so he must be taken in hand, and some. at least, of his locks sheared off. A job of this sort always interests certain class who are glad to lend a hand in such worthy cause, and who enjoyed being present at the kill ing" And as this party had been in- strumental in having the names of the different sections changed, natnr- ally. this must be turned down no matter how praiseworthy the object might be.
 After all, taking into account the holf dozen residents of Phoenixville who may have felt an interest in re- taining the name, and the forty-nine voters who desired to benefit the town. the latter had. as it would seem, a majority of forty-three. We all know that when people are disturbed, or have hurt" feeling and are sore" it is impossible for their best judgment to prevail, and any thing like Town betterments or improve ments will not have any considera- tion, and il is disappointing, and for the time, discouTaglng, to those who are interested in the welfare of the town and its best interests. We know it here in Eastford, and so far as our knowledge extends outside, it is agreed that Eastford is the smart est small town in the county, for some reason it has seemed to prosper wonderfully the last few years, not wifhstandinp the fact that the man that has been referred to recently as having represented the Town, or rather mis-represented, has resided here all during the while.
 Real estate has increased in value in the Centre quite beyond our dreams, property that sold few years ago for S475. 00 has changed hands recently for s4000.00.

 Proud of Our Town
 We are proud of our town. and we want people to know We are. and alao to know when they are in Eastford As 1t is al present 1t is confusing to illustrate the point A short time ago an agent from the International Revenue Office was in Eastford check ing up matters connected with his office. and while in one place asked for information regarding Eastford.
 Che question was; How many stor- es are there m the town2" When he was told that there were six, he re- piled that couldn't be so. for his pa per showed that there was only two. \ business mans name was men toned who resides in the north end of the town. He finally found his name. but stated that he was not in the town of Eastford. he was down as being in the town of Ashford. He was equally surprised te find that Phoenixyille WAS in the town of East ford. This one instance will serve to explain the whole situation.
 It will come all right in time no doubt. and when t has come every one will be pleased Nothing in the line of progress. betterment, or ad- vancement. has been brought abous without opposition. even in the most sacred and wonderful movements in the history of our country What would be thought today of the idea of going back to the conditions that existed in our country seventy five

The Petition

To have the name of PhoeniXville retained, petition was circulated to have 1t put in the Warning. This re- auired twenty names, and while, n every one knows who had any eXpe- rienee. numerous people seem not only pleased. but grateful, to he ask ed to sign their name tn q papef es pc cially, if they are not being asked To respond with mere or less cash There were twenty names on the pe- tition in question alright, fifteen of which names were of those. who, at the time they signed, had never voted in the town. but had just been made electors. We believe we are correct in this. In any ease, Il is the number given us by the Town Clerk who oiii= ciated at the electors meeting. Among | the other names were those residing at the very extreme sections Of the town. Some of the signers. if We are correctly informed. originated Tn Europe. and have resided in the town for shorter or longer length of time as the case may be.
 i We will now leave the matter of Phoenixville retaining it's name and refer to the real issue or issues, for, strange as 1t may seem to other peo- pie, the remaining was probably of l the least interest as compared with some others. We have heard three mentioned. the most simple and child ish is in regard to the new road which will pass through Phoenixville same as it will numerous other communi- ties. It might seem that il had affect cd the head q little, if reports are correct. to the effect that they feel Eastford Centre is jealous. and are endeavoring to put something over on them. Another incident that creat. ed a good deal of feeling it would seem. was. the fact that certain group in the Republican Caucus was not sufficiently recognized to the eX- tent that their candidate failed to get desired nomination. Thus arous. cd the town was eauyassesi, t was re- ported. until the midnight hour. But what seemed to have hurt the feel ings the worst, and which they felt must have attention, was. that cer- tain man was getting altogether too smart

OLD TREATY KEEPS
 INDIAN HORSES SHOD

QuAPAW. Okla. Dee. 29.-Al- though wealth from land rich in zinc and lead ore gives the Qua paw Indians luxurious automo. blles, the tribesmen remain low CTS of fine horseflesh.
 William Long. government blacksmith attached to the tribe. is kept buster than any garage mechanic, for it is his duty to see that 150 horses, some valued as high as $500, are kept properly shod.
 Long holds his federal job un- der a treaty made with the ln- dians in 1883, when Andrew Jack. son was president. The treaty provided that lin view of their present impoverished and wretch cd condition the Quapaws were to receive from the government the services of "a blacksmith to do their necessary work"
 In weather beaten blacksmith shop overlooking Spring river Long and his predecessors have fulfilled Uncle Sans contract for almost century, although the Quapaws no longer are in an "im poverished and wretched condi- ton" Royalties from lead and zinc mines give members of the tribe an income of more than S1,- 100000 a year.
