.MATTERS OF FLULIC INTEUEST.
While fire district interests are boom
ing in Soutliport It seems practically dead
here and until some more urgent reasons
arise it is very doubtful Jf anything in
that line will be accomplished. Such
events as that of last Monday night at
die Morehouse crossing will soon arouse
the people to see the necessity of better
government and protection than is now
afforded. It is not a question of water,
but of lights and police protection and
many other things. There is no doubt
we tnu-t soon have these things as the
village is bound to grow and it is not too
soon to consider i. In the meantime let
private means give us the lights. With
slight trouble ami expense each residence
could maintain a street light, as many
now do. Evil doers shun well lighted
places.

PATRIOTIC WOMEN.
We had a very enthusiastic meeting,
Saturday night. The hall was filled to
ovei flowing. About '6 members of
Echo council of D. of L., from Bridge
port, vvete present and made a fine show
with their red, white and blue sashes
T. V. Gilmore fairly outdid bis usualtlo-
(paeuce, in behalf of the '-Daughters."
Among his points was this : Although a
woman could be just as patriotic without
belonging to the order, be urged that
now was the time lor concerted action,
quoting that "United we stand, divided
we fall,"' and he thought the women to
be a great power in keeping the loyal
American woman in our school houses
as teachers. He closed his remarks with
the hope that all Americans would stand
by their God, home and country. He
was followed by Mrs S. A. Blinn, deputy
of Echo council, who is a very interest
ing speaker. She spoke of her love for
the cause and her own council and the
opportunity women had in learning about
the parliamentary laws that might be of
great benefit to them. W. (). Staples,
the national secretary of the order, spoke
at some length on the cost and showed
that it was ver- inexpensive, only .$1 for
initiation fee and 10 or lo cents per
month, as each council voted. There
were 27 signatures on the application, but
we want more and the papers are still
open for charter members. A committee
of three was appointed to look after the
matter of collecting and appointing a
time and place for a preliminary meeting
to ballot on th applicants and other nee-
essarv business as follows: Sarah E.
French, Mary II. Hailock and Ida M.
Buikhardt, any of whom will be glad to
give any information that lies in the
power. A summons to the meeting may
be W'ked for about the middle of next
week.

THE 1'OrULAR OIIUYSAXTHKM UM.
The. recent chrysanthemum show at St
Thomas parish house brought out the
fact that there are several especially fine
collections of chrysanthemums in town.
Among those of greatest merit are Levy
Short, Demas Frost, Thomas F. Foster,
William Shaw, Harry S. Glover, Edward
Gehrels and others whose names have
slipped our memory. The popularity of
the chrysanthemum seems to be increas
ing year by year as its beauty becomes
known.
Phe ehrysauthemura show which was
given, last week Thursday and Friday
evenings, under the auspices of the Sun
day school of St Thomas church in the
parish house was what we might term a
most beautiful success, financially as
well as other ways. We do not know the
exact amount netted by the Sunday
school but it is probably between $75 and
$100. The first, second and third prizes
oilered for the best plants grown by the
scholars were awarded by the judges to
Misfcs Clara Cord, Edna Stone and Ber
tha Ghler respectively. A very pleasing
feature of Friday night's program was
the performance of a ladies' orchestra of
stringed instruments.

BEDDING.
MORE FLAG RAISINGS.
Wednesday afternoon, the stars and
stripes were flung to the breeze on the
Ridge schoolhouse, with appropriate
ceremonies. If the exercises of the
school were not ahead of those held in
the other schools, yet in decoration it
surpassed them all. The room was a per
fect bower of beauty, the walls being
completely hidden with flags and bunt
ing, artistically draped. The singing of
patriotic songs under the lead of Miss
Annie Williams was very impressing
The Foundry school united with the
Ridge in rendering the program, and at
its close, both schools were carried to
the Hollow, in two large wagons fur
nished by Stephen Sanford and Jesse L,
Sanford, the children all carrying small
flags, and the horses heads being decked
out with the same. The flag was then
raised on the Foundry school house,
patriotic song sung, three cheers given
and thus ended the flag raisings on the
Reiding school houses, in a blaze of
glory.
A BAD FIRE.
Just after dusk on Wednesday, the
people of the Ridge was startled by the
cry of fire, and the large barn and cow
house of D. Sanford, east of his house
was discovered to be In flames.
heroic effort was made to save the horse
which occupied one of the stalls, but
when reached it was discovered that he
was suffocated with smoke, and the poor
animal had to be left to its fate. The
neighbors quickly rallied and it being
evident that other buildings, including
the dwelling, were In imminent danger.
ladders were quickly raised, and a buck
et brigade organized.: : After an hour
