GOOD HARNESS !
of both leather and steel are a nec
essity to the progressive farmer
In leather I have a fine stock, don
ble and single, light and heavy
hand-sewed- made of the best ma
terials, Prices from $4.50 up. I
also have the Deerfleld Steel Har
ness, which is unequalled for farm
and truck work.
I also wish to impress you with
the Idea that Sipperley's mill is
the place to go to for all kinds of
Wagons and Carriages- You will
not find better goods nor lower
prices elsewhere and very seldom
can you do as well.
As usual I have a large assort
ment of articles too numerous to
specify, but all meritorious and I
extend you an invitation to come
and look them over-
In particular I wish to say that I
have a large stock of Champion
Lumber Wagons in all sizes- You
cannot buy a better wagon than
tnese, tne draft is lignt, tne price
low and the pole never whips-
I shall be happy to increase your
supply of pure and abundant wat
er, by drilling an artesian well, and
will answer any particular ques
tions you may be interested to ask
in regard to this system of obtain
ing water and plenty of it.

THOSE SHERMAN LAWSUITS.
Three more of the Sherman lawsuits
have been disposed of as far as the low
er court goes. The suit brought by the
prosecuting agent of the town of Derby
against Horace Sherman for selling li
quor without a license while in charge
of the Hoffman house of chat place, was
discharged by the court, because of se
rious legal flaws in the prosecution,
while the suit cf Charles Hoffman
against Frederick Sherman for trespass
and damages through the use of water
on the land of the former (which the
Ucter's hotel has long enjoyed), was
withdrawn, Saturday, after repeated ad-
I jourutneucf, by the plaintiff, who paid
all coats. The hearing for the appoint
ing of a trustee on the insolvent estate
of Helen It. Sherman took place here
before Judge Ford, Saturday. Some
seven lawyers were present, represent
ing even more creditors. Samuel Clark
of New Preston was appointed trustee
Appeals were then taken on both the
suits brought to force Mrs Sherman into
Insolvency. First, Mrs bherman ap
pealed from the decision of Judge Ford,
in the Hoffman case which declared her
insolvent, and then J. & J. Eager, orig
lual applicants in this matter, against
whom Judge Ford decided, also ap
pealed. Fun for the lawyers.
MISS ANDERSON MR COOK.
The ancient rites attending the mar
riage ceremony were illustrated in their
beauty and simplicity, November 6,
when Miss Jennie A iderson and Fred
erick Cook, at the home of the bride's
father, with the assistance of liev P. J
Fair, were made man and wife. There
was a display of many valuable and use
ful presents as a testimony of the well
wishes of their friends, who after par
taking of the delicate viands awaiting
on a well filled table, either wended
their wav homeward or tarried later to
escort the happy couple to the station
to bid them adieu, while embarking on
the first journey of the unknown voyage
of life.

probable that his friends will purchase
his return ticket and etart him home
He has been in Litchfield jail all summer
The reason for this leniency is based on
the fact that the young man was con
sidered "a little oft-" and would be better
cared for at home, where his peculiarities
were known.

NEW PRESTON
AT THE VILLAGE CHURCH.
The subject of Rev Mr Ivans' sermon
at the Village church. Sunday mornlne.
was "The soul, sin and death," taking
for his text "The bouI that sinneth, It
shall die." His views of eternal punish
ment were much modified from the be
lief of the former days. The literal
meaning of hell fire he felt that he' could
not accept. The 'punishment meted out
to the sinner.the willful, unconverted sin
ner, he thought to be in" the next : world
banishment from all that is good, and
true and noble and still further accelera
tion toward the evil, being led On and
made to mingle altogether with the
vicious and bad. Surrounded by such
associations he deemed the dinner's hell
but a continuance in wrong doing and
evil companionship of vile spirits till.the
soul of the sinner in eternity would be
come loathsome to Itself. The sermon
was rich in thought, easy in comprehen
sion and modern in spiritual ideas.
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE VILLAGE HALL?
What has become of the Village hall
project? After securing the site, are we
to wait another year or two for further
action? Nothing seems to have been
done since the deed of the site was grant
ed and we hoped by strenuous efforts,
and confined mutual action on the part
of the entire community and vicinity, we
should see the building erected before
the new year came in. But we commence
to think some one has gone to sleep, or
the matter has reached such a state and
condition that action will surely be de
layed.
T. C. Black still sends his team daily

students of Taft's seminary at Water
town and teacher and students of Upson

EXPECTS A REVIVAL OF NEWS.
It is Borne weeks since I have written
any article for The Bee, and it is for
this reason that some one has got to "get
a gait on," or do something that will be
of interest to the community, or spoil
something, and make it better, or in oth
er words, have an old fashion jubilee, and
let folks know we are on earth. I don't
oare which, if I can have some news to
write about for The Bee. But now elec
tion has got simmered down to a nut-1
shell, we want peace and business, and I
hope this letter will get up some spunk
that will inspire us all to some great and
good deeds, that may be chronicled in
The Bee next week. You see, the dog

THE BEST SCHOOL.
The purpose of this article is to pre
sent to the public a few reasons - for our
claim of the best Business and Shorthand
school in this vicinity.
Ever., since our school opened in 1887
we have pursued our way quietly and
steadily, instructing our pupils with
thoroughness and care and making no
claims for superiority over other schools.
As a result we have placed more of our
graduates in good positions in this city
and New York city and other places than
any other school in this section, and now
feekthat we can truthfully claim that
Martin's school of business and short
hand is in every sense of the word su
perior to any other school in Bridgeport
or vicinity. We say this in all modesty
and in proof of this statement the reader
has only to interview any of our active
recommendations as we have listed them
herewith.
We would ask the reader : Have you
ever seen a list of graduates of any of the
other schools and bu sinets colleges in
this city ? Cannot the graduates of the
other schools secure positions? Why
tin Boonrn nnait.innn? Wht
not? Don't the other schools graduate
their students? If they do, where are
they ? They advertise that they actually
secure positions for their graduates.
Probably as their graduates are at the
most few and far between they feel safe
in making this assertion. But are they
truthful in so advertising? We have
tried ever since our school was establish
ed to secure a list of the graduates of
these other schools but as yet have been
unsuccessful.
Another thing, we make but one price
to all of our students without exception
for tuition at our 6chool. Our students
pay that price and are satisfied because
they feel assured that they will obtain a
first-class education in the various
branches taught in our school, and also
that we will do our utmost to place them
in good paying position upon graduating,
as has been our practice in the past with
most gratifying success. ,
The proprietors of other schools in
this city have taken in students at various
prices, and sometimes even without cost,
and what have they gained by it? ' What
have their students gained by it? Have
they any competent graduates, or any
graduates at all for that matter, and
especially whom they have placed in
positions? If so, where are they ? The
proof of the pudding is in the eating
The proof of the school is in its grad
uates. There must certainly be a lack
