Tribute to Mrs. Patterson

There are sad hearts in a Naugatuck home, for the angel of death plucked beautiful flower in the person of Mrs Ellen Patterson of North Main Street. She was loving mother and to her acquaintances loyal friend Her beautiful smile and loving disposition won her countless friends wherever she went Just now the clouds are dark and the loved she left behind her silver lining We trust that the prayers and handclasps of the many friends who offered sympathy in the dark hour of sorrow will help tighten the heavy hearts of her family and bring sunshine into their souls again.

Flosh Ought to Be Greet
For Another 10 Yeors

Joe Gordon, at rs or q, should
be a great ball player for another
10 years. His almost complete lack
OF tension will be a big factor in
taking him along at top speed. He
always is a dangerous man at bat,
but he could use a few more points
tn his annual average. He should
be a natural 1880 hitter, anyway.
Barring a bad break of luck, Cor
don almost is certain to finish as
the greatest defensive inf1elder of
all time. There is no way to prove
1t, but believe he will be many
acres ahead of all competition when
1t comes to covering ground. Joe
not only covers the ground, but he
also comes up with the ball. His
catlike balance largely is responsible
Tor this. He is almost never off
balance, no matter what acrobatic
contortions may precede the play.
There are times when he is an
entire circus, including the elephants
and the pink lemonade.
