The lawyers had a pleasant time at their

appetites, toasts were responded to by the
following named gentlemen. “Our annu-

“Our last banquet,” by Judge W. H.
Kelsey; "Our profession,” by Hon. D. F.
Hollister, “Americans,” by I. L. More-

outings,” by J. D. Cliamberlin. After a
social time and some fine singing by the

spirits and with good will towards all men.
These lawyers are :queer fellows. They
fight each other before the court but when
outside the court house they mingle tO-
gether like brothers.

hosts of friends who will rally to his sup-

NEWCANAAM ,
Last week there were two errors in the
report of the entertainment given by the
young people of the Congregational church
in Raymond’s Hall. The first error was
in the name of theyoung lady who read. It
should have been Miss Corsou not Miss
Carson, and the baroness was not Miss
Silliman but Miss May Drummond. We
also omitted to mention, the Maypole
dance by severalIchildren,'wliich was one
of the prettiest features of' the entertain-
ment. ‘
Mr. James Hoyt attended the state agri-
cultural meeting in Merid’é‘n on Thursday
of last week, and reports very interesting
exercises were held. '
When one reads the state republican

Wendell G. Bitillllson returned from his

Dr. Noble made his first visit to New

that it will be strange if he does not often
drive this way.
Rev. Mr. Kidd passed a satisfactory
examination, last Wednesday morning, in
theology, etc., and in the afternoon was
ordained to the ministry and installed in
the Baptist church, of which he has been
stated supply for some time. The. sermon
was preached by Dr. Garner, Of Bridge-
port. Mr. Richardson, of Stamford, Mr.
Torrey, of Norwalk, and others took part
in the ordination and installation services.
The coming town meeting promises to
be very liVely. The license question will
be fought out again; questions growing
out of the widening Of Railroad avenue
will be discussed ; new selectmen will be
Selected. The {friends of improvement
and progress will clash with tliOSe who
think the former days were better than
these, etc.
Mr. Bohanan, who acquitted .hiniSelf
so finely on Labor day in a. speech made
on school ground, will address the citizens
of this place on Thursday evening on the
question Of “No License.” The following
week it is expected Rev. Mr. Richardson,
of Stamford, will speak to us. If license
gets back here after being kept out for
five years, it will not be the fault of those
who sincerely believe the saloon is an
evil. It will be the fault of those who
want to drink, who believe in encourag-
ing drinking, and who have the mistaken
idea that possibly by permitting evil good
may come.
No more ball this season. The Messen-
gers have disbanded after having given
us some of the best games ever played in
this town.
It only shows how it pays to spread out
and make things attractive. Since Mr.
Banzhof has moved into his new and
attractive store, where he has plenty Of
rooms to display his goods, be has sold
more stoves than ever before at this sea-
son Of the year since he has been business.
We have got to do like other folks to be
like them.
Doesn’t it seem nice now to read : “Ice
is plentiful. You can buy all you want
for twenty—five cents a hundred.” All
summer we have read of poor sick people
dying for the want of a pound of ice;
nearly everybody has been greatly incon-
venienced by not feeling they could afford
to have enough ; iinpreeedentedly large
bills stare one in the face, and yet we now
learn there has been a plenty of it, no
need for extravagant prices, no reason for
the suffering there has been. .
Lockwood Bros. have lost Amos. Amos
was not a prophet,jthough“hc was a profit
and has carried us many an honest mile. He
had only one fault. He would sometimes
make a courtesy and plant his hind feet in
your lap, but that was usually the driver’s
fault for Amos did not like to be inter-
rupted with a whip when he was attend-
ing to business. But he is gone now, He
had a pain. The doctor gave it a big
name and then made out a certificate Of
death, and as the little girl said : “Poor
Amos has gone to horse heaven. and we
shall miss him."

Mr. H. B. Rumscy and son started for

they drove under an open shed as a refuge

DYING WITH HUMODS
Which Three Doctors Could Not Cure,
Cured in Four Weeks by
Cuticura. Remedies.
I wrote you about four years ago of the wou-
derfulcure I made with your Cuticura Remedies
of a. bad humor on my face which twelve doctors
failed to understand or cure. Three years ago last
fall my son Went to Sacramento, Cat, and after
two or three months he broke out With 0. humor
on his stomach and back, suffering very much.
He employed three different doctors, and at last
they told him to go back to Maine, as his disease
was caused by change of climate, and he could
not live in California. He wrote that he was
coming home, for he was dying with 11 humor that
the doctors could not cure. wrote him to get
some Cuticura Remedies and take according to
directions, and bathe freely with Cuticura Soap,
and in four weeks after he got my letter he wrote
me that he was entirely cured. He came home a
few weeks ago on a visit, and is at home now.-
His health is good. I have recommended these
remedies to a great many people with bad cases
that would not yieid to doctors’ medicines, and in
no case have I known them to fail to make a care
If you wish to refer any one to me, I will answer,
with pleasure. . ,
