HA8 SOLD OUT!
Mr. lere. Donovan Retires
from the Wholesale and
Retail Liquor Busi-
ness.
The Owner Has Had a Long and Prosoer-
ous Career.
Early next month Mr. Jere. Donovan
who for a number of years has success-
fully conducted a wholesale and retail
liquor business in South N orwalk will
retire from the conduct of the same.
Several times in the past such a
change has been reported but such re-
port was unwarranted as a fact.
This morning Mr. Donovan stated
that the sale wasconsummat‘ed onSatur-
day last, and the new proprietors
would probably take possession of the
plant early nextmonth.
Mr. Donovan was non—committal as
to his own plans for the future, prob-
ably thinking that it was none of the
public’s affair.
In his conversation,
gave the reporter to understand that
the business would probably be com
tinued very much on the same lines as
he himself had conducted it.
He thought it ill advised to publish
the names of the purchasers today,
but it is safe to presume that they are
men with sufficient capital to continue
the business. .
‘Mr. Donovan retires from the busi-
ness with-the word “success” perched
on his banner, and will now have more
leisure to devote to his outside property
however,
It is stated that Donohue & Mc-
Loughlin of Stamford, have purchased
the liquor businesslfor so many years
conducted by Jere Donovan, at South
Norwalk. ‘

took of the same spirit and werejoined
in by the congregation in a manner
that reminded one of the days of the
60’s.

COMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN. BY ONE
OF THEM.
Anything to attract attention seems
to be the fever of the hour. 'The
“latest” was seen on West avenue one
day last week. It was a girl on a
wheel holding the handle bar with one
hand and a chain to which was attach-
ed a dog in the other. The sight was
unique to say the least, and I should
not have been surprised to have heard
of an accident. The poor dog wbuld
certainly have been justified in most
anything or any means to have broken
loose. --
1was delighted to read the other
day that the American liners, "New
York” and “Paris” were to be re-
named and that the respective names
are to be Harvard and Yale. The two
university warships will stand together
and make a gallantiight for justice and
peace. Both Secretary Long and Mr.
Roosevelt are Harvard graduates and
thus chose the New York to honor
their Alma Mater.
“Old Eli” preferred the Paris. Of
course the names will be but temporary
as when the war is over our gallant .
ships will resume their plOwing 'of the
ocean blue, provided they are not dé‘f‘ ;-.
stroyed in battle.

their elders which speaks well for the
future.
We are very patriotic in Norwalk
but why don’t we show it. People Who
have flags should showtheir colors. . 'It
lends picturesqueness always to. the
handsomest dwelling and brightens and
somehow to me beautifies whatever it
waves over. Old Glory is the grandest
ornament of the grand, and serves to
kindle patriotism in the minds of the
young and thrills the hearts with that
inexpressible something which goes
to make the brave heroes with loyal
hearts who so strongly defend us'against
the enemy.
It is said that one city in the United
States was fittingly enthusiastic on Fri-
day last and that was the City of
Brotherly Love. There, it is said the
streets were veritable visions of red,
white and blue and the stars and
stripes waved in every portion of the
city.
No matter how wheezy the hand Or-
gan or squeaky the violin: if theygonly
play “Dixie” or "The Star Spangled
Banner,” pennies will pour in regard-

cian who knows which way the wind is
blowing at the present time. '4

A Chance to Get 3. Wheel Free.
. onion A. SAUNDERS has been selling bicycles for;
' over seven years. . ‘
In that time he has sold thousands of wheels, and his
guarantee has ever been found as good as a bond.
Every wheel sold by him is of first-class workmanship
and of late highest grade. ‘
For nearly two years he has been in business at his
and has been most successful, his large sales increasing each season.
One reason for his success is that ,he is firm believer in printers’ ink and
uses 1t freely and to the best advantage, believing that keeping everlasting-
y at it is bound to bring the desired result.
His. business thus far this season has surpassed his most sanguine ex
pectat1ons, his sa‘es being something enormous in the bicycle line.
' He is not yet satisfied, however. and proposes to stir up the riders of the
silent steed by glvmg away one of his bicycles to the most popular wheel-
