The Men's Lyceum is especially famous as a de- bating club and for many years has more than held its own in contests of the intellectual order. This vear the chief sp er will be Charles H.

Griswold will be toastmaster and this annquncentent alone goes to prove that the entertainment committee has the battle half won. Miss ilelen Cowels and John Thompson have been engaged as soloists. Thomas Emerson will talk on ‘Patriotism” and Joseph Wilson has chosen for his topic, “Sights Seen in Kensington.” The hanquet is in the hands of the ladies of the Kensington Congrega- ticnal church, and they have arranged a fine menu, which will be as follows: Boulion croutons, salted nuts, rolls, chicken, Kensington style, rench fried potatoes, asparagus tips, tomato sa d, wafers, ice cream, cake and coffee. The committee of arrangements is composed of C .F. Lewis, chairman; William Emerson and James Ells- worth. After Bad Dogs. Colpnel @harles M. Jarvis, propri- etor of the Maples farm, has issued an ultimatum against predatory dogs. For several weeks the Colonel’s chick- ens have suffered from the depreda- tions of roaming dogs. In fact, even his cows and hogs have not been safe. Colonel Jarvis announces officially, in a poster which he has tacked up in the Berlin post office, that warn- ing and protests have done no good, and though it is with regret that he takes this action, he has been forced to issue orders to his foreman to shoot any and all dogs henceforth found on his premises. Concrete Next Week. It is announced that the Connecti- cut company will begin concrete work on its share of the Worthington Ridge job mnext Monday. It is up to the trolley company to pave nine of the twenty-seven feet to be done.

Plainville News PLAINTIFF ABSENT AND MAY LOSE SUIT Today to Press Charges WANTED AGENT'S COMMISSION | Claimed to Have Participated in the Sale of Constable Marino’s Proper: ty—Asked $49 Commission—Oflicer May Get Judgment by Default, Judgment by default will probably be entered in the case of Irminio Gnazzo against Constable Philip Ma- rino, the plaintiff- having failed to make an appearance this morning when the suit was scheduled to come up for trial before Justice E. P. Prior. No information as to the reason for his absence was received by the court and it is likely that a decision for the defendant will be made: | Constable Marino and his attorney, Judge W .J. Malone of Bristol, on hand prepared to defend the suit. With Justice Prior, they waited around the court room for over hour after the time set for tige hear- ing, finally/giving up hope seeing the other parties in the case. The action was brought sothe time ago through Attorney Daniel . O’Keefe of New Britain, and was an attempt to collect a commission which the plaintiff claims was due him .for participating in the sale of Marino’ property in the Red Stone Hill d et. Gnazzo wanted $49 and when Marino refused to acknowledge the claim liti- gation was started. Marino sold his property to Vito Vi- lardi and, according to his contention, Gnazzo had no connection with the deal. According to the officer, came to him last winter and ir as to what he would be willir his place for. Marino named $2,600 as the price. Gnazzo couldn’t see it at that figure and the owner claims he refused to sell any le: That was st conversation he had with the plaintiff over the sale, he avers. Some time later, Vilardi, who is a relative of Gnazzo, stated negotia- tions for the purchase of the property. Marino dropped the price to $2,600 and finally sold out for $2,450, the pur- chaser agreeing to permit him to live in the house until June 1 without charging any rent. Marino declares that it was the un- derstanding that there was to be no commission pald to anyone, as a third party was not involved. Subsequently he received a demand from Attorney O'Keefe for commission due his client, but he turned it down and papers were then issued and an attachment placed on the constable’s bank account. Officer Marino declares the suit was more of a spite case than anything else and was instituted because of the ac- tivities of certain Italians who are not on good terms with him. It is his be- lief that the action was started to cause him annoyance rather than for the purpose of collecting damages. Delancy for Toastmaster. Postmaster William F. Delaney of New Britain has accepted an invita- tion to act as toastmaster at the ban- quet to be served this evening in Grange hall by Court General Lawton, F. of A. when the doubling of the membership of the organization is to be celebrated. Mr. Delaney organized the local court a number of years ago and his selection for toastmaster on this occasion is a fitting compliment | to him. Tonight is expected to record the biggest celebration in the history of local Foresters. For weeks members of the Plainville court have been nmak- ing plans for the gathering, which promises to he very large. Foresters from the various places in this locality will be here in large num- bers to witness the degrce work as exemplified by the team from Schiller court of Meriden. It will be the first appearance of the team since it was awarded the prize at the California convention, and Foresters from many places are interested in the exhibi- tion it will give here. Over thirty can- didates will take the obligations, Adjournment will taken to Grange hall after the degree work, and the guests will be entertained at a banquet. In addition to local mem- bers, it is expected that state officers will be present. Mayor Joseph F. Dutton of Bristol is to be one of the speakers, and there will also be re- marks by prominent Foresters from other cities. A musical program will also be rendered. There will be vocal selec- tions by James McCuskier, M. Leo Prior, Albert Conlin and Frank Cun- ningham. James J. Graham will pre- side at the piano. Finish Road Work. Improvements in the highways at Westwood park, ordered by a town meeting early in the winter, were completed today by a force which has been at work in that section under the direction of Selectman Johnson tor the past two weeks. The roads are now in fair shape, aithough it is admitted that there is still room for impravement. But $400 was appropriated for the changes and the selectmen spent practically the entire amount. * Over $100 was required for culverts and the balance did not permit of the selectmen making any very elaborate improvements. However, the passways are now in a condition which it is believed will be satisfactory ta the post ofice in- spectors who threatened to oraer a discontinuance of the rural free de- livery in that section unless roads were t in better shape.
