The warm “April” winds of the| past two days have driven old Jack Frost out of the ground and made 1he streets of Kensington a veritable gquagmire. The merchants and the _employes of the factories, who have casion to walk along Main street are be spattered with mud. There has teen agitation for some time for new ~walks of some material on that thoroughfare and from conversation heard this morning, it is safe to pre- dict a movement to secure the de- gired improvement in a few days will i inaugurated. The spot in front of the post office is probably the worst on the street, the mud in that lo- cality being ankle deep. In discussing the condition of the etreet, this morning two prominent business men considered the proposi- tion of asking the property owners to have suitable walks laid and then slarting a canvas of the town for subscriptions to ald in the payment of tne project. It ig felt the cost would not be very large if each individual who must daily walk along the street would contribute a small sum. The pud of today is only a sample of what is coming later in the balmy days of snring, and the consensus of opinion is that many cases of wet feet and rossible grip would be avoided, pro- vided a more compact footpath is not built. It is possible the agitators wil call a meeting of the townspeople e first part of next week to talk over the situation and discuss ways and means for obtaining the desired re- sult. Rural Carrier’s Birthday. Today marks the fifty-fifth anniver- eary of the birth of Charles W. Wil- tizams, the genial rural mail carrier of the Kensington post office. Mr. Wil- ylams is a native of Kensington and is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. williams, both of whom are dead. Jle attended the town schools until he was fourteen years of age, when he ertered the employ of Royal Upson, who conducted a grocery store on the gite of the present American Paper Goods company.. Mr. Williams re- ceived his first instructions in the art of handling mail there as his em- ployer wag postmaster at the time. Later he obtained employment at the American Paper Goods company and worked for that concern until September 30, 1901. In that year the postal department decided on a rural rcute from the Kensington post office snd Mr. Williams received the position. He travels approximately twenty-one les every day and it is estimated he e covered nearly 51,000 miles since the time of his appointment. He is that office during his term he has failed to start on his route but once, that being a stormy day, the exact vear of which he could not recall this morning. Of course, in common with every other government employe, he is allowed fifteen days vacation every year and, according to Mr. Williams, that time drags rather slowly. In 1883, Mr. Williams wedded Miss Flora Pendleton and ane daughter has blessed their union, - Mrs. Hattie M. Campbell of Fort Bragg, Califorpia, Mr. Williams said this morning he feels just as young as the day he started on his route and he was the recipient of many congratulations as he wended his way along his daily rath. “Off With the New™ The old adage “off with the old and on with the new” received a jolt last night at the dance given by the local Grange at its new hall. When the winter started, the society made ar- rangements for a series of dances dur- ing the cold months. The gyrations of the modern dances seemed to be the most popular and the Grangers attempted to cater to the followers of that form. However, not as large as anticipated, so the committee decided to return to tho old-fashioned dances exclusively last night and as a result the largest crowd that ever attended a Grange dance was present. If the pleased expres- sions of the dancers may be taken as a criterion, the old-fashioned waltz and two-step are coming into their own again in Berlin. Pleasing Entertainment. St. Paul's parish hall was crowded to the doors last night, when the Ken- sington Female troupe made its first appearance. The entertainment was one of the best ever presented by lo- cal talent in the district of Kensing- ton and could compare favorably with a number of similar professional en- tertainments. The work of the mem- bers showed they had practiced faith- fully, the solo parts being rendered in a charming manner while in the chorus parts the blending of the voices was nearly perfect. Several Jokes of local interest were given and the applause which followed them was terrific. After the performance, dancing was cnjoyed until midnight, The proceeds will be used for the benefit of St. Paul's church and a neat sum was realized. Lyceum to Meet. The next meeting of the Men’s Ly- ceum of Kensington will be held on Monday night at the Kensington Methodist Episcopal church. The feature of the evening will be an ad- dress by Clarence M. Thompson, Secretary of the Connecticut Prison association, who will speak on a topic pertinent to the present time. Mr. Thompson is well versed in the work of the prisons and his address will {no doubt be pleasing to anyone inter- iested in that subject. The meeting 1will be open and the general public | 1s invited to atterwl. The next debate of the club will he | held on Monday evening, February (4, {in the Kensington Congregational church. The question for debate will be “Resolved: That a System of Rural Credits Should be provided by the | government of the United States.” A. R, Dunn and Henry Moore will argue affirmatively while the negative will be upheld by George Alling and B. P. Moore. Retain Banner.
