George Rich. At a recent hearing held in the Granby probate court on the estate of the late Carrie Bennett Pollard for the purpose of appointing an admin- dstrator it was found that a will had been left by the woman, Mrs. Mathew Long, a resident of North Granby, produced the document at the hearing. There were only two bequests made In the will, one of $400 to the Shelton Burial Associa- _tion of Shelton and $300 to Mrs. Mathew Long. Many people expect that her estate will total a ‘conslder- | nble amount as she held the title to rcal estate in Granby, Hartland and New Britaln. The producing of the will called for the adjournment of the hearing for a week. Much of Mrs. Pollard’s time was spent in the north part of the town of Granby but she made occasional trips out around to different sections of the wate. Many people are curious as to the value of the estate. Drama a Success. A packed hall greeted the cast “Love and Tea" of when the curtain was Look!

Every one of the players excelled in his or her part but Miss Adele Bas- sett was easily the star of the eve- ning in the role of Mandy, & slave The action of the play took the audi- ence back to the spring of 1776 and the play itself-delt with the tax on tea. Iiveryone remembers the fa- mous Boston Tea Party and how the citizens dressed as lndians threw sev- eral cargoes of that precious article into the harbor. Last night's play had to do with & band of ladles that had sworn to give up tea but one of their number was caught in the act by her niece who used the infor- mation to compel her aunt to give ‘L‘unsent to her engagement. The spinster is in love with a Tory and be- cause of her love many funny situa- tions are created. Much credit for | the success of the play is due to Miss Marjorie Moore who acted as the general manager and coach of the cast, It is expected that Emma Hart Willard Chapter of the D. A. R. will realize a neat liitle sum from the performance. Minstrels Make Hit. St. Paul's parish hall was crowded to the doors last evening when the Kensington Lady Minstrels gave their second annual show for the benefit | of St. Paul's church. One of the best minstrel shows ever staged by a local company was presented showing a perfect blending of harmony in all of the chorus numbers. Many new jokes were used and several hits made on local surroundings. After the show the floor was cleared and dancing enjoved until a late hour. During the evening a drawing on $10 was held and Mrs. Elizabeth Whitney {held the lucky ticket. McKeon's or- chestra. furnished the music for dancing. At the Churches.

The “Never Was' team made a fine start but could not keep up the pace and so they were dropped by the wayside. High scores of the evening went to W. Rich when he rolled 108 in the first game. It is expected that the winning team will select 2 new name on the strength of their win. Following are cmfwy fwy thelr win. George Rich.

Gibney's Birthday. William H. Gibney observed the fif- ty-seventh anniversary of his birth today in a quiet manner. He was born in Meriden and came to live in Berlin with his parents when still a small boy. The family first settled in the Beckley Quarter section of the town, but later moved to the house where he now makes his home. Mr. Gibney was the first selectman of the town for fourteen years, doing his work well and faithfully. Road construc- tlon seemed to have a, special attrac- tion for him and he has received many compliments on his past en- deavors toward hettering of the roads of the town. This past year he was defeated for the nomination for first selectman by W. I. Alling, having started his drive too late. Mr. Gibney is also prosecutor of the town court, having served in that capacity for the last five vears. His resignation was handed in some time ago, but as there has been no one appointed to act in his place he still continues to prose- cute the cases.

There is a disposition on the part of some of the townspeople to lay the | blame at the door of the railroad company. They believe that in view of the fact that the company is re- sponsible for the men coming here, they should do sonicthing to see that they do not become an annoyance to law-abiding residents. While of course the railroad cannot be held respon- sible for the actions of its employes, especially when they are off duty, the argument is advanced that they should make an effort to protect the townspeople . lock-up at the freight yards in which the *drunks” might be placed after their ‘‘celehrations’” might serve to kcep them off the streets and remove one of the objec- tionable features of their advent in town. Otherwise they might con- tribute towards the expense of prose- | cuting them and shipping them to jail. The patience of the townspeople is about exhausted and the disappear- ance of the transfer station would be a realization of one of their fondest dreams.
