Every newspaper treasures up in its memory the names of its friends, and, likewise, its enemies. It seldom, if ever, overlooks an opportunity to assist the former, but never goes out of its way to boost the latter. Human nature is pretty much the same everywhere. People Who show the newspaper man kindness never make a better invest- ment or one that more surely pays them a hundredfold sooner or later. As has been truly eaid, there comes a time in the life of every man when a word said by a newspaper either makes or unmakes the individual mentioned. . .._.____———-4 Deacons Heard From. The deacons of the New Canaan Bap- ti .0 Chuzch have issued a statement— \-. hich appears in full in the entrant is- sue of the Messenger of that village— concerning the case of Lizzie Jones, a member ofa Catholic family, who join- ed the New Canaan church Sunday evening, April 4. The circumstance which gave the incident special interest was the very indignant protest of the - girl’s father as soon as he heard of the affair. The substance of the deacons’ statement is to the \efi'ect that, the girl haveing solicited the privilegeflofjoining . the church, and having satisfactorily answered the usual questions put to su‘cha candidate, there was no reason recognized by the church why she should be refused. 'l he rte-acons’ argu- ment is indicated, and the. tone and temper of the statement sufficiently made apparent, in the ' following para- graph. which we reprint from the columns of the Messenger aforesaid: The young lady referred to is nearly seventeen years of age, and old enough to choose for herself, and according to the law of God and the laws of the Uni_ ted States no one has a right to interfere with the religious convictions or liberty of any one, not even parents. It Rob- ert Jones cannot or will not adhere to the laws and usages of this beloved American nation, we advise him to re- turn to the land from whence he came, where he can carry out his own narrow- minded ideas; he will not be missed, especially in New Canaan, and no other man of his same make-up and character. . A Believer in Hens. The New York Press recently called attention to the faith of a gay and sprightly drummer of a New York firm in hens as a source of profit. Accord- ing to this drummer, says The Press, there is more gain derivable, from an investment in Plymouth Books than from the traditional anser who laid the golden egg. One hen of this tribe, says our peripatetic professor of useful, not ornamental, ornithology, will lay an- nually a $5 gold piece. And, as he does not qualify this by an exception of Bryan states, we may conclude that even in the dullest Cleveland era the Plymouth Rock hen has ' always stood, or sat, ready to do her duty by the country—an‘exiimple td the democracy by whichit would do well to profit; though, of course, it never will. This drummer, The Press avers is not a mere theorist, as meat professors . are. He is a practical politician in poultry,and at his home in Chateaugay, .N. Y., on a five acre farm, he has an interesting family of 3,000 chickens, which, he declares, take not only leis trouble to raise, but are far more re- munerative proportionately than cows or horses. The stern statistic stares us in the face, as political economists, that the American people are not raising enough hens. Fowls and eggs are im- ported right along from England, France and Belgium. Even Scotch eggs, following Scotch-literature, are coming into our market to steal away our brains and our digestions; and as for Canada, if there were nofiother argu- ment in favor of annexing her, should not the single fact that last year sle sentlus 37,000,000 eggs plead trumpet— tong‘ued for such a consummation? Then, too, if our populist communiticfi' would raise more hens, they could ai- ford to raise less Hades. —-It matters little what it is that you want—whether a situation or a servant —a “want" ad. in the GAZETTE will ‘ reach the person who can fill your need. .., v. . now 11‘ SPREADS. People are Talking All Over South Norwalk. This Report Comes From West Avenue. How it spreads, Can’t keep a “good thing” down. Eve:1 notice how good things are imita- ‘ te P Better the article, more imitators. Fortunately the public have a safeguard. Praise can’t be imitated. And true praise takes root and spreads. Claim is one thing, proof is another. Claim is what the manufacturer says Norwalk people say. - Doane’s Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys. Cure all kidney ills. _ ' Hundreds of citizens testify to this. Here is a case in point. : Mr. R. G. Millard, of 51 West Avenue South Norwalk engaged in the fur manufacturing business in, West N orwalk says“ Ihave had kidney trouble for years, and have taken so much medicine and been under the care of physicians so of- ten that I ought to be‘ an authority on the question. I seemed to be rid of my trouble for a time, but it showed signs of returning and I wanted to check it. I noticed some published statements a- bout Doane’s Kidney Pill-s and procured a 'box at Hale’s Pharmacy in Norwalk. They helped me, and a continuance of the treatment I believe will eventually effect a radical cure.” Doane’s Kidney Pills help at first, heal, strengthen, then cure. That is their re- cord everywhere and there ‘are many such cases. You can . read .abOut them every day. CHILDREN’S Hoops, Garden Sets, Kites, Marbles, Tops, &c.
