RIDGEFIELD.
On Friday evening there was a “school
meeting” in the Centre District that may be
called unique because of the unanimity of
feeling. It was voted to tax the district to
build a new school house with two apart-
ments, at a cost not exceeding three thousand
dollars; A third apartment was‘votcd, Mr.
P. C. LOunsbury offeriiig to defray the ex-
pense. The unanimity was largely' due to
the liberality of Hon. P. C. Lounsbury, who
. purchased a site on Bailey Avenue and pre-
sented it to the district. The cost of this
purchase was $1,050. This ensures what the
friends of education have long wished for, a
good school house in a good location.
The Ridgelield Library new numbers
about 1200 volumes. The enterprise has been
recently incorporated and its prospects are
very encouraging. Mr. Lounsbury has pur—
chased a. site for a_ new library, and a good
brick building is likely in the near future.
A National Bank is talked of, and consid-~
erable stock is already promised. A bank is

Considerable building is going on and much
more in contemplasion. Several schemes are
talked from which much may be expected. -
The old corner store with flaming posters
of Barnum’s latest farewell visit to Danbury
posted on each end traversed Main street last
week and has found a resting place near the
Depot where it will be used as a flour and
feed store. For four score years it has been
a business center, and a place of resort for
gossip vendors, story tellers and politicians.
Its glory has departed, but its memory will
be fragrant for two generations at least.

At a meeting of a few citizens in the

are ofiering from $25 to $35 for names of

tice becomes general it will make licenses
cost so much that their number will be con-
paratively small. '

An old but goou story, re-discovercd by
the New York Tribune : Many years ago
Emerson and Theodore Parker were walking
in Concord. when a well known leader of the
Second Adventist rushed up to them in great
excitement. "The world ceases at mid
night 1’" he cried out. “Well," replied
Parker, coolly, “I am not concerned; I live
in Boston." “As for me," added Emerson,
equally undisturbed, “I can get along with-
out it.” .

We have heard only words of praise
for Ely’s Cream Balm from many who are
using it. One of our customers who has had
Catarrah for over 40 years, says it has helped
him more than anything he has ever used-—
after trying everything else—we can recom-
mend it for Catarrh, Hay Fever, etc., know-
ing that the results produced will be satisfac-
