Hohnthal of Manchester, who has been doing considerable work throughout the state in the interests of temperance for several years.

Through their efforts a number of names have been placed on the registrars’ list of voters-to-be- made and they will no doubt be ac- tive Saturday when the selectmen and town clerk meet to swear in those who qualify. There are 139 names on the list to-be-made and it is be- lieved that the majority of those will appear before the selectmen to take the oath because of their interest in the license question rather than the other matters to be considered at the election, | clergymen Rebekahs As Hosts, Officers of the Rebekah sembly and the members Crescent Past Noble tion in addition to from the in Plantsville were guests of Martha Re- bekah lodge at its regular meeting held last evening in Odd Fellows hall, It was the biggest session held by the local Rebekahs in a long time and it was thoroughly enjoyed by those in attendance.
