For that structure is opeéned for travel at last and there is great rejoicing, not only among the toWnspeople but also the automobilists whe continually pass over the road on their way to and from Hartford. The slowness of the work angered many, but now none can be found to say that it is not well done. The job was done under the supervision of the state highway department and the local se- Jectmen, and both of these august bod- s have been the objects of more or less censure at various times. . When the contract was let it was stipulated that .the bridge should be nished in twenty-five working days. Vork was begun on it on July 12. Al- most at the very start, trouble was ¢ncountered. First, the contractor could find no foundation firm enough to,hold the supports on account of the quicksand undermining ‘' .them. Plles were ordered driven. Labor troubles were prevalent about the state this summer and the contractor had his share for he could not secure compe- tent nelp. Thirdly, even the elements: chines lights, shining like glow worms and. will be a sight well worth seeing. D:- A. R. Chapter Meets, Emma Hart Willard chapter, D. A.

Plainville News Sy — DONATES $200 T0 METHODIST CHURCH, Miss Clara Alford Case's Check Strengthens Treasury FESTIVAL WAS BIG SUCCESS Methodist Pleased With Gift of For- mer Resident—Selectmen Johnson Shoots Dcer—Manufacturers Give $10—Skinny” in the Toils.

Announce- ment of the receipt of a check to- wards the church exchequer was made last night but the name of the | donor was withheld, Mrs. Case with | characteristic modesty preferring have the gift recorded as mous. n The secret leaked out today, how- ) ever, and the members of the church were frank in expressing their ap-. preciation. Mrs. Case left this morn- ing on the return trip to California after spending a brief visit here with friends. Before leaving for the south Mrs. Case was prominently identified with the various departments of the church and it was in a large measure | through her efforts that its growth reached its present proportions. She was one of the leaders of the Ladies’ Aid society and was also active in | Sunday school work. The gift received yesterday is not the only evidence of financial assist- ance which she has rendered to the church. On several occasions she has come forward when money was need- ed and her donations, always made without any ostentation and usually with the knowledge of but few: peo- ple, materially alded in bringing about improvements to, the property.

A chicken pie supper was| served by the ladies. A most appe- tizing menu was provided and th(!: supper committee received many | compliments on its excellence. The entertainment was of an excep- tionally high calibre. The program was furnished by a number of Wes- leyan students, who came here at the pastor’'s invitation.

The net profits from the affair have not as yet been learned but the offi- cers of the church report that a sub- stantial sum was realized. Selectman Shoots Deer. First Selectman W. J. Johnson has the distinction of having shot the first deer to be legally killed in Plainville since the statue regarding the hunting of the graceful creatures went into effect. The selectman brought down a handsome buck yes- terday on his place in Scott’s Swamp and as a result many of his friends will' have venison as the piece de re- sistence on their dinner tables. to- morrow. Under the law deer may be killed by farmers on their own property, providing a shot gun is used. Until a few months ago when the law relating to the hunting of deer became effective there were a num- ber of the animals in this section. The protection given them by the statutes made them so bold that they ventured to near to houses and frequently did considerable damage to gardens and orchards. Hunters, however, have scared them away and one is now seen rarely in this vicin- ity . Yesterday a full grown buck strayed onto the premises of the se- lectman and he hurried into . the house after his shotgun. The weapon had been hanging on the wall unused for months, Mr. Johnson having been too busy with his business on the farm and his duties as the town’s chief executive to devote any time to hunting. ] That he has not lost any of his skill as a. marksman, however, is made evident from the manner in which he brought down his target. The animal fell with the first shot, the charge from the selectman’s gun Mr. Johnson notified the game warden, in accordance with the pro- visions of the law, and then had the carcass cut up for distribution among his friends, Manufacturers Give $10. M. A. Norton, chief of the fire de- partment, received a check for $10 yesterday from the Bristol Manufac- turing company as a contribution to the hose company's treasury.
