But one case of typhoid has been reported during the entire year. and that was an imported one. Three cases of diphtheria and four of scarlet fever, all of which were mild have been quarantined Three cases of infantile paralysis, originating in town and one imported case, have occurred, but neither the cases of diphtheria, scarlet fever or paralysis could be classed as epidemic.

Rev. Frederick L. Grant, resignation as pastor of the Congre- gational church went into effect this afternoon when representatives of the different churches of that denomina- tion in this section gathered in council in the chapel to formally dis- miss him, announced this to East Hampton, Conn., and would not leave the state as he had originally planned. Mr. Grant will become pastor of the Congrezational church in that town on December 1 and about that date will move his family from Plainville. For weeks Mr. Grant has had two offers under consideration and it was not until a few days ago that he finally made up his mind to remain in this locality. He had an urgent call from a church in the Adiron- dacks, the congregation of which ex- tended him an invitation to become pastor after viewing his record in the ministry. Mr. Grant had never even preached to them and he felt highly complimented over the manner which the call was given. whose | in phe Hartford Sitk Store Fstablished 1833. !B We feature “American Lady,” | C.
