world, miscellany, literature, etc. In our sup-

MILLINERI' OPENING.

The Boston store’s opening, to—day
and Monday, is an event of much in-
terest to the ladies of Norwalk, and we
fancy, the gentlemen too, will take a
peep in at the tastefully decorated win-
dows. Tall potted plants, some of them
in bloom, are effectively interspersed
among the goods, and the whole estab-
lishment has an air of festivity.

The millinery department, on the
second floor, is bright and stylish with
new spring hats and bonnets, and a rich
array of artificial flowers that do the
soul of woman geod. There is also a
fine stock of ribbons, prettily draped.

Ready-made children’s dresses, first.
class dress goods, two-toned silks, laces
and hamburgs, and an especially fine
assortment of Easter gloves and 20-
button evening gloves, make an open-
ing well worth participating in. The
gentleman’s furnishing goods, near the
entrance, embrace all the newest styles
and the choicest makes. Everything
has an air of freshness that shows that

store.

PASS THIS ALONG.
No paper can be published without

home patronage, and every man is in- ‘

terested in keeping up a home paper.
If a railroad or factory is wanted the
newspapers are expected to work for
it. If a public meeting is wanted for
any purpose, the. newspaper is called
upon for a free notice. If any of the
societies have a supper or reception of
any kind, the newspaper is expected to
give the necessary notice. The news—
paper must puff the schools and every-
thing else to advance the interests of the
business men of the place, and then

give them a handsome notice when they 3

pass away. And yet some of them do
nothing to keep up ahome paper.—

One of the largest and most import- I

ant business consolidations which has
been recorded in the history of Nor-
walk, in recent years, is the uniting in
a joint stock company, of the two per-
sonal partnerships of Holmes 8; Keeler
' and Selleck Brothers, hitherto our
largest wholesale and retail grocery
firms. By the articles of the associa-
tion, published in another column of
to-day’s GAZETTE, it will be seen that
the capital stock of the new corporation

many years past President of the Cen-

old Norwalk Savings Society and a man
whose judgment in business and finan-
cial matters, probably stands higher

than that of any other citizen of our
i town. Mr. Keeler IS Vice President of

the venerable Fairfield County Nation-

Selleck brothers, one and ‘31], stand
among Norwalk’s first and best business
men and their name, with Floyd T.
Ruscoe and Mr. Harvey Kent, are syn-
onymous with integrity and industry.
A stronger combination in any busi-

formed, had every citizen of our town
