NEW MILF0RD.
WHAT ARE WE TO DO FOR TREES?
Three very large elm trees were the
victims of the woodman's axe here last
week and the week before one in front of
the postofllce, another one in front of
New England hotel and another large one
in front of the store of Evitts & Staub ;
making the village look as thought it had
been visited by a Western cyclone.
Several more of our elms are dead and it
is said they too have got to be cut down.
The question now is are we to lose all of
our fine elm tree? It so what a pity
The one cut down at the New England
house they figured it out to be over 100
years old. Well, there isn't so great a
loss but there is some email gain. The
village has already wood enough from
the fallen trees to last all winter but we
prefer to be out of wood instead of beau
tiful shade trees. It looks now as if the
maple will have to take the place of the
elm tree in this locality.
A VERY SAD CASE.
Miss Amy Heritage, a very highly es
teemed and beloved young girl scarcely
19 years old, was taken ill one week ago
last Saturday and fell a victim to death
just one week later with malarial fever.
She was an only daughter of the late
Cornelius Heritage who died less than
one year ago. She had held the position
of bookkeeper and treasurer at the store
of W. F. Kinney $ Co., for the past two
years or more. Her funeral took place
Mofiday, October 21, and the remains
taken to the Merryall cemetery for in
terment. She will be sadly missed by
her mother, two brothers, atdthe many,
very many friends whuse sympathies are.
inexpressible. " Why 'death should re
move such a shining 'mark is one of the
mysterious ways of Divine Providence.
NEW MILFORD WANTS MORE WATER.
The hearing between the New Milford
Water Co., and the parties owning the
land and water now under the process of
condemnation before the state authorities
is being heard at Town hall this present
week and is to be tried before George W.
Hurlburt of Roxbury, . John Hopson of
Kent and Hon Herman O. A verill of
Washington. The object of the aforesaid
company is for the purpose of obtaining
land for another large resevoir and a
greater supply of water for the village.
A great many people outside of New Mil

WOODBURY.
A CLERGYMAN SPEAKS OUT AGAINST THE
DANBURT FAIR.
A favorable i-pportuity was presented,
last Sunday morning, for Rev Mr Free
man of the First Congregational church,
to give bis hearers some practical lessons
from the Danbury fair from the stand
point of one present at the show. He took
for his text "Abstain from the very ap
pearance of evil" and gave no uncertain
notes of warning, especially to the young.
He having formerly resided in Danbury
was well fitted to judge of the past as
well as the present of the great fair.
His statements of some of the repulsive
features of the show, such as drunken
ness, gambling, etc., the presence out
side and in full view of the passer by of
the' painted beauties who lured in the
unsuspecting and others all of the male
sex. (The fact that women were ex
cluded ' stamped the character of the
place.) Chicago . midway ' had a rival.
Even Atlanta is yet without a record
along that line. The evils of the race
course were Puritanical in their tenden
cy- in 'comparison with these exhibits
which would rival those of a similar
character of ancient Rome, and these
flourishing near the headquarters of
Christian workers in the interest of dif
ferent churches. The managers of this,
the greatest fair in New England, will
probably not allow anything to cause
complaint In this direction in the future.

POINTS ABOUT CLOTHING.
There are in every city a few firms
who seem always to be busy, to have
just the goods that people want. The
majority ot trade do not look for the
cheapest goods they can find, are not in
terested in very low priced unreliable
merchandise. The better class of buy
ers want something good and expect to
pay a reasonable price for it. Davis &
Savard, 429 Main street, Bridgeport,
keep a store of the "up to date" kind
both in stock and prices. " Their object
is, to please and satisfy their patrons.
They sell the best clothing, hats, and
furnishings that money will buy.. In
the advancement of the tailoring art,
not only has perfection of manufacture
been attained, but goods to-day are cut
to fit the different type of build, as they
never were before. " Davis & Savard
carry slim cut goods, that will fit young
men who are growing tall and ihave not
filled out to their fall proportions. If a
man is of the tall kind and has been
troubled to find clothing with sleeves
long enongh and pantaloons of full
length, they can fit him.' The regular
cut will fit the men of usual build.
Then comes the stouts. These will fit
the portly gentlemen whose waist meas
ure is large and whose legs are short.
These suits run up to 50 inch breast and
waist. The little folks they take care
of also, from two and one half years old
upwards. Little fauntleroy suits with
white, blouses, reefer suits that are
double breasted and button up snug and
warm for the - winter, chinchilla and
