Mohday will be a busy time for! thé Berlin politicians and the old town hall will be the scene of the activity. Three meetings of unusual imporiance have been called for tha® day. William W. Fagan, chairman ,of the democratic town committee, this morning issued a call for the annual caucus in the town court room ;| at 8 o'clock Monday evening. The chairman of the republican town ‘committee, Ex-representative William | ' H. Webster, has called a caucus for the same evening at the same time in the lower ‘hall. *.In the meantime the local select- men, William "‘H. Gibney, N. W. Bald- win and James J. Fitzsimons, acting on the petition presented to them a few days ago asking for a special | town meeting for the purpose of con- | sidering and taking action on a reso- | lutian recommended by the special | committee appointed to create a board gof finance put their heads together end have issued a call for the townl meeting to be held in the hall at 8 o'clock. u After trying to figure out the prob- lem of hew to have two objects oc- cupy the same space at the same ; time and then giving up in despair ___it has been decided to hold the town meeting first. This iz expected to %be a short session and will be fol- lowed by the republican caucus. ‘With the issuing of the calls for caucuses at which time candidates for the town offices will be nominated, bath parties are industriously engaged completing their tickets for election on Oct. 4. The position of first selectmen will be the most hotly con- tested office this year. William H. Gibn the present incumbent who has held the office for the past thir- ¢@en yesrs has on several occasions. announced that under no circum- stances Will he again be a candidate. Several of his intimate friends this morning When aproached said that he would undoubtedly receive the nomination even though he is op- fosed to it. Should Mr. Gibney be nominated there is a question wheth- er he will take the office as he has already received several flattering of- fers from several concerns about the state. Ex-Representative William H. Webster is being prominently men- tioned as a successor to Mr. Gibney. Although Mr. Webster says that he is not seeking the office he would take it if the people wish to have him. ™ Assessor George B. Carter is also in the limelight as 2 probable candi- date. Mr. Carter on several occa- gicns when asked if he was seeking report. It is, however, stated on gocd authority that has name will be presented for the selectmanship. William W. Fagan when asked this morning who will be the democratic candidates. replied that as yet there are no names for publication. It is reported about the town that the democratic party is to spring a sur- prise this year. Dunham Farm Is Sold. Willilam Brechlin of Meriden yes- terday completed a deal with Dr. R. M. Griswold of Kensington, adminis- trator of the Martin Dunham estate, whereby he becomes owner of the property. He purchased the estate for .$7,000. The Dunham farm is one of the best in thjs town. Buildings, stock and farm utensils are included in the sale. The Meriden man is to take possession of the property between now and October. Directors Take a Hand. It is probable that the seven lights which were removed by the United Electric Light and Water company of New Britain, will be replaced before the opening cf the Berlin Fair next week. R. O. Clark of East Berlin wvas appointed a committee of one last evening at the meeting of the executive committee of the Connecti- cut Agricultural society to look into the matter. The electric company re- moved the lights because the resi- dents failed to pay for them during ithe past four months. Since the fair | this year will be held nights as well as days it is most desirous to have them restored. Bernardo-Cafferty Nuptials. Joseph Bernardo of Kensington anad Miss Bessie Cafferty of Cromwell were married this morning at 9 o’'clock at the home of the bride. Miss Josephine Rernardo, sister of the groom, was the bridesmaid and P. J. Bulkeley of Kensington was best man. The ceremony was largely at- tended. ) Following the wedding the guests adjourned to Cromwell hall, where a reception was held. After the recep- tion the young couple left on an e: tended honeymoon trip to Buffalo, D Y. On their return Mr. and Mrs. Bernardo will reside in Kensington, where Mr, Bernardo is employed at the American Paper Goods company. Candidates Are Initiated.

Our Bill for Goods. (Bridgeport Standard.) The warring nations are piling up expenses and what they are getting in this country is costing them a big figure. But it is not war munitions alone, nor chiefly, which make up the expense accounts. The commer- cial report for July last now made up in Washington shows that “mun- ition” arc relatively a small part of what Turope is buying of us. To be sure. (he other things are rendered necessary in unusually large amounts through the war indirectly, and some of the fucad stuffs go to soldiers in the end perhaps. The Germans want to buy about $75,000,000 worth of our cotton, if we will assume the risk of its delivery, and although cotton is enly construstively ‘“war material,” it amounts to that in the end, % | Conceded Former Sterill Will Be | § | crats. cultural society held last evening it | | Worthington Plainville News B o e WAY IS PAVED FOR HART'S NOMINATION Democrats’ Choice Tonight DEATH CLAIMS AGED WOMAN | !
