 News comes through by grApe- vine that . Mir, Lehman Aaupt the fellow who claimed bound-ltne difficulties along Quarry Brook, as planning to write q book, Lyme Green would write one, if the town would fix his road 30 he could get out with the lnanu- script Harm Doran Is doing some heavy research for c mystery story of skeleton Hollow and we hear that Dave Marshall Is saV- ing up for Q down payment on Q typewriter.

Some folks wonder if there Is Q set of signals rigged up for those bells. Others claim the cows are just restless because the Flat Hill Read is 50 rough the hired men cannot always get home from Sandy Hook in time to milk on schedule.
