The special town meeting predicted
in last week’s GAZETTE has been call-
ed by the Selectmen to be held at the
Town House Saturday, March 12th, at
two o’clock in the afternoon, for the
following purposes:
FIRST. To authorize the Selectmen
to take up the outstanding Town Bonds
and to issue new bonds in their place.
SECOND. To adopt By-Laws regulat-
ing Town Proceedure, etc.
THIRD. To authorize the building
of a gravel road from near the resi-
dence of Sherman Morehouse to 'VVil-
ton Station.
FOURTH. To rescind the votes passed
at the annual meeting in relation to
working the highways and to pass such
other votes in relation thereto as the
meeting may deem best.
FIFTH. To instruct the
in the matter of collecting certain
claims against the Town of Weston.
These are important subjects and
should call out a full attendance of vo-
ters. All are destined to help the
town in their various ways if passed.
Selectmen
. The matter of the bonds is of great im-
portance and our selectmen have shown
themselves worthy of the confidence of
the people, and thoroughly capable of
transacting this important business.

for Town proceedure will fill the tra-

continuation of the gravel road, the

majority of our tax payers are thorough _
1y satisfied with the section already
laid and will undoubtedly vote to con-
tinue it to the depot, as it is the most
traveled section of the town’s highways
and in as bad a condition as any of our
main streets. The fourth count will be
given careful consideration and will de-
pend largely on the action taken on the
extension of the road.
The last count refers to the thndle
Mead case in which the town hold an
unsettled account against the town of
Weston for help from the poor fund.
May a goodly attendance be present,
a careful consideration of the subjects
had, and that course that is in every
case best for the well fare of old “Til-
ton, adopted.

According to our farmers the frost is
about out of the ground, maple sap is
running, a full crop of seed catalouges
is ripe, and everybody is talking of
what they will do when the springtime
comes. In the meantime, the tenth an-
niversary of the blizzard is at hand and
overcoats may be still of further use
than to harbor moths.
Miss Carpenter, president of the
W’oman's Auxiliary of St. ‘ Matthew’s
parish. was the recipient this week of
a dainty remembrance from a little
Indian girl in South Dakota, who has
been assisted by the parish. It was a
buckskin purse elaborately ornamented
with beads, and is greatly prized by
Miss Carpenter.
Miss Abby Bundle who has been vis-

The selectmen representing the
Town, and Mr. Boucle for the Berlin
Iron Bridge Company met at the town
clerk’s office on Saturday and after a
careful perusal of the plans the new
iron bridge was formally accepted for
the town.
Wilton’s first iron bridge was opened
to the public on Friday March 4th,1898.
Selectman Morehouse was the first one
to drive over the structure, and the
venerable Mrs. James Sturges, of Can-
non,‘ was the second to drive across.
The bridge is highly satisfactory and
now that there is a fair chance, of an
extension of gravel roadr'to- the depot,
the old town has a sample of modern
roadway that is all right. Let the good
work go, on. .

proving slowly.
Six services were held at the Congre-
gational church Sunday.
The funeral of George E. Keeler was

His fellow members of The Y.P.S.C.E.,

Norwalk, and his many friends com-
pletely filled the body of the church.
The services at the church were con-
ducted by the pastor, Rev. W. D. Hart.
At the grave, Mr. Hart said a short
prayer, and the Odd Fellows, said their
ritual for the dead. It was a- most im-
pressive ceremony.

energy. A number of the city mem.

One of the most successful church

evening last, by the ladies of the Zion’s

programme delighted the large audi-

several violin solos by Miss Stockwell,
who has finished a winter’s study with

star feature of the programme. Two

The Finch—Sutherland Nuptials Attended
by Norwalk People.
Mr. Gilbert Finch and Miss Edith
Sutherland, were married. at the home
of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Silas Sutherland, at Stanwich, last
evening. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. Mr. Shaw of the Congrega-
tional church.
Messrs. William Heusted and Wil-
liam Lynda of New York acted as
groomsmen and Cora Sutherland a sis-
ter of the bride and Miss Lizzie Kissam
of New York were bridesmaids.
The bride looked very pretty gowned
in a dress of white organdie, and the
bridesmaids were becomingly dressed
in like material over blue.
There were 150 guests present in-
cluding a number of relatives and
friends of the couple from this'city.
The wedding feast was a grand one,
and the gifts were many, comprising
much value.
The guests had arranged to shower
Mr. and Mrs. Finch with rice, etc., but
they eluded them all and managed to
escape to the railroad station with
nothing but a few dinner bells attached
to the coach and clanging to the public
the announcement of the happy event.
It was 4 o’clock this morning when the
Norwalk members of the party reached
home.
Mr. and Mrs. Finch on their return
from their bridal tour will reside in

THE KIDNEYS
Some Important Duties They

The Kidneys are filters of the blood.
Thousands of times daily every drop of

Kidneys to be cleansed of impurities.
Both your health and your life depend
upon keeping disease
away from those im-
portant organs. The

are out of order, you

For all those troubles there is a medi~

TENTH ANNIVERSAP.
On the twelfth of March 1888, the day of the never-to—be
forgotten blizzard, the Boston Store opened its doors for bus-
iness.
It was a day of “Cold and Eager Frost” with snow
piled mountains high in the streets of Norwalk and commu-
nication with the people of the surrounding towns cut off by
the immense fall of snow.
The first week was a gloomy one,
it was a bad beginning, but it would take more snow than
ever fell in Norwalk- to dauut our pushing qualities. In no
