He was not looking for gray squirrels and had not iseen any. He had seen the wood- chuck mornings about 300 or 400 feet away from the house so was | waiting at the hole. He also clalmed that he was not trying to conceal the gun but only carried it front of himself while runring. Did not know what a serious affair it was to take a gun out on Sunday because { he had Mr. Bell’'s permission to hunt at any time. Prosecutor W H. Gibney said that the man might be charged with sev- eral other things but had been charged with only one. His friends had tried intercede, but nevertheless it was an open violation of the law. If he had not known he was doing wrong he would have tried to conceal himself with the gun. Judge Griswold said there has been a practice of Sunday shooting, and in order to stop it he would make an cxample of the man. So a fine of $25 without costs was given to Venzi. to ; Republicans to Rally Again. One success deserves another, and | ovidently this is the way that the | local republicans look at the matter, | for they are to stage another big rally | in Foresters’ hall tomorrow evening at 8 o’clock. Last week the hall was | packed to the doors, which was a big factor in the calling of the second | rolly for tomorrow evening. As elec- | tion draws nearer there seems to be +dded strength to the republican par- ty, and by November 7 the party should poll one of the largest votes over cast at a local election. For speakers the party has no less a man than Governor Holcomb himself, and this fact alone should call for a crowd- ed house- Along with the governor will come Congressman P. Davis Oakey, who is widely known about the state, as he is one of the party's | sirongest speakers and has been car- rying on a very active campaign this fall. M. A .Fitzgerald is another man that will address the meeting, and for the Ttalian element Signore Pisani, who spoke last week, has again been cured to speak. Preceding the | ings at the hall a street parade will | be held with plenty of red fire and | music by the T. A’ B. drum corps | T hould be one of the largest ral- lies ever held in the town and a “S. R. lm." sign should be hung out at the cntrance at an early hour. | Church News. Berlin Congregational Church—The Boy Scouts will hold their weekly meeting this evening at 7 o'clock.

The ————————————————————————— DOGTOR PRESCRIBEQ VINOL To Restore Strength To This Weak, Nervous Woman. Many fair-minded doctors prescribe Vinol because they know of what it is made, viz,—beef and cod liver pep- tones, iron and manganese pepton- ates, and glycerophosphates, with a mild tonic wine. They know these are the oldest and most famous ton- ics. Read the result in Mrs. Mason’s case. “I keep house for my little family of two, and got into a weak, nervous, run-down condition I was tired and weak and did not know what ailed me. My doctor prescribed Vinol. I noticed an improvement before I had finished the first bottle, and I am now feeling fine and doing all my house- work.” Mrs. M. S. Mason, 203 Pas- saic St., Trenton, N. J. Every weak, nervous, run-down person, feeble old people and delicate child in New Britain should try Vinol on our offer to return their money if it fails to benefit.

Plainviiie News LOCAL PASTOR WILL RESIGN [lN_ NOV. {7 Intention to Leave Plainville Church Officers to Act on Resignation Friday Night—Voting Machine In- struction—Proves Value of Spray: ing—More Negroes Shipped Here. Formal confirmation of the report recently printed in the “Herald” con- cerning the intention of Rev. Fred- erick L. Grant to leave Plainville, was given to the Congregationalists yes- terday morning when the minister at the close of his sermon presented his resignation as pastor of the church. Mr. Grant read a letter in which he announced his intention of giving up the pastor on November 15, leav- ing the town to accept a pastoral po- sition in a wider fleld. The clergy- man gave no intimation as to where he proposed to locate, confining him- self to the statement that he has two calls under consideration and will probably make his decision during the week. Mr. Grant’s resignation will mark the closing of eleven years of serv- jce as pastor of the local church and will be received with general regret by people of all religious beliefs. Members of the church will meet Fri- day night to take action on his letter and to appoint a committee for pulpit supply until the pastor’'s successor is chosen. While Mr. Grant’s resignation had been expected for several days and caused no surprise among members of the church it was received with many' expressions of regret when read at yesterday’s service. In connection with his resignation Mr. Grant gave a sermon on ‘“The Philosophy of Change,” treating the position of pas- tor and the duties with which he be- comes involved. In his letter he ex- pressed his appreciation of the co- operation given him during the period he served as pastor and explained that his action was the result of his belief that he would be more useful in a new fleld rather than to any dis- satisfaction with local conditions. Mr. Grant sald this morning that while his resignation will become ef- fective in about two weeks he will probably remain in Plainville for some time. He plans to take a rest before assuming the duties of his new place and will probably be here until about the first of the year. He expected to be able to announce his plans for the future in a few days. Besides being active in church work, Mr. Grant has occupied a posi- tion of prominence in the civic life of the community. He has been as- soclated with many of the town's governing boards and has given up a great deal of his time and talent to Plainville’s affairs. For a number of years he has served on the school and library boards and the success attained by both committees has been in a considerable measure the result of his personal efforts. He has been conspicuously identified with the Business and Improvement associa- tion the Congregational club the Grange and the New Britain Camera club. He has served on the com- mittee having been In charge of the disbursement of money from the Strong fund for over a decade and during a large part of the time was chairman of the board. During re- cent years he has been active in the prohibition cause and has been recog- nized as one of the leaders of the no- license forces, Mr. Grant came to Plainville to serve as minister for the Congrega- tionalists from Northfield, Mass. He succeeded Rev. Clement G. Clark, who resigned to go to Minneapolis. While there will be general regret over the departure of Mr. Grant and his family from Plainville, the towns- people will unite in extending them thel. best wishes for success and hap- piness in the fleld they select their labors. Voting Machine Instruction. Arrangements have been made by the selectmen to have demonstrations of the new voting machines given in the Town hall every evening this week. Men famillar with the ap- paratus will be on hand every night to explain its workings to the voters. On Friday, Saturday and Monday, the machines will be open for inspec- tion all day and the citizens of the town will be given every opportunity to familiarize themselves with them. General satisfaction with the ma- chines has been expressed by prac- tically all the voters who have thus far received instructions. Many of them have expressed surprise over the simplicity of the apparatus and they predicted that there will be but little confusion when they are tried at the election. While the selectmen rented a sec- for local made a big hit and it is expect- ed that their services will be called for again in a very short time. The trip was made by auto. Berlin Briefs.

Proves Value of Spraying. ‘While many of the farmers in this locality suffered a loss this year be- ceuse of the potato blight, Joseph A. |} gan of Scott's Swamp reports that his crop is a big success, a result which he declares demonstrates the practical value of spraying. Mr. Fa- gan has been farming on scientific theories for a number of years, adopting methods suggested by the Connecticut Agricultural college and other experts and while he has had to go to considerable extra expense 1o follow the advice given him, he is now satisfied that his money was well invested. Although he had a bumper crop last year, harvesting from twenty acres of land, he discovered that de- spite the high prices offered for the tubers his work was not financially successful owing to the extraprdi- nary expense which attended scientific methods. This year he planted but ten acres and had a big yield. Experts who have examined his crop declare it to be one of the best harvested in the state. They declare that it has an advantage over others inasmuch as the potatoes are In no way affected by the rot anl are absolutply sound. Recause of the prevalence of blight agricultural scientists claim that many of the potatoes harvested this year will decay during the winter, al- though their exterior at the present indicate that they are sound. Tubers trom the plants which have been sprayed regularly, as is the case with Mr. Fagan's, are not expected to show susceptibility to the disease, ac- cording to potato authorities, and for that reason the Scott’s Swamp grower feels that his efforts have not been wasted. His reputation as a potato grower has spread so extensively through publicity given him as Connecticut’s potato king in national rural publi- cations have brought him many or- ders for his crop from distant points but he has decided to dispose of it rearer home. ‘Will Sell Property. Permission has been given by the probate court to Mrs. Annie Morway as executrix of the estate of her mother, Mrs. Eliza J. Reynolds to dis- rose of property belonging to the es- tate and notice has been filled that the sale will take place privately tomor- row morning at 1 0o’clock. It is understood that land on East street used by the N. D. Kalish coal Dusiness will be transferred to Mrs. Kalish, the remaining property con- tinuing in possession of the estate. More Negroes Imported. Fifty Virginia negroes were shipped here Saturday afternoon to augment the force of darkeys working as {ruckers at the transfer station. Dur- murder on which he was placed under arrest Friday, At night the young man is very ir- rational, the physician reports, and there are also periods during the day when he exhibits marked signs of in- sanity. At times his braln clears and his mentality seems to be sound. The results of the doctor's observa- tions rather indicate that the state will declare the accused insane with- out the formality of a trial. Philip Kent Dead. Philip, the nineteen year old son of Dr. and Mrs. C. M. Kent, died last night at his home in Forestville after an {llness of several weeks with ty- phoid fever. The young man had been in a critical condition for some days but his death came as a surprise and shock to his many friends.
