Mrs. Gugerty made known her intentions to resign ~some time ago but the board held off in the hopes of retaining the popular teacher. She has been in ill health for some time due to her active inter- est in the work and the board offered her leave of absence until such a time as she felt strong enough to return to her duties. Her condition is much worse than was known at first and the original plan had to be dropped and a new teacher secured. Miss Sabonif comes to the town with the best of recommendations and will take up her duties at the school this week.

Giatina Jumbola the oldest son of Frank Jumbola, will be taken to the New Britain hospital today or tomor- row where he will be examined to see if an operation will straighten his leg. This is another chapter in the history of the Jumbola family for it was last July that the mother ran away leav- ing the; father to take care of six chil- dren the oldest of which was only fourteen. It was a hard struggle for the father and at last he appealed to the authorities for help with the re- sult that the three youngest were taken to the County Home at Warehouse Point. Giatina who is about twelve vears of age broke his leg seven years ago and since it was reset has never been able to walk upon it. It is the hope of ‘the doctors that an examin- ation will show that an operation will give the hoy back the use of his limb and make it possible for him to walk again. Fair in Foresters’ Hall.

Yesterday ‘marked the sixtieth anni- versary of the birth of Francis Dem- ing of the Berlin Savings Bank. The event was quietly celebrated at his home where a number dropped in up- on him to offer many happy returns of the day. This also marks the eleventh anniversary of his connections with the Savings Bank. On February 4, 1857, Mr. Deming was born in Beckley Quarter and is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Levi Deming. His father was able to trace his an- cestry back to one of three brothers who came to this country prior to the Revolutionary war. This brother set- tidd in Wethersfleld. Shortly after the Revolution a great grandfather of Mr. Deming, Tsrael Deming, was born in Rerlin and a branch of the family has resided there ever since. Francis Dem- ing was a student in the local school and afterward attended the State Nor- mal school in New Britain from which he graduated in 1877. After gradua- tion he taught school for three veare in West Hartford and Cromwell after which he {urned his attention to farm- ing. He has bheen connected ?‘i(l» many business enerprises and was onc of .the leaders in organization of the Golden Ridge Creamery company an: the Mattabessett Canning company Tt was on October 5, 1880 that married Miss Jennie Bidwell Hill of Cromwel] and four children havo hlessed the union three of whom arc living. Mr. Deming has always been elosely conpected with the republican party in his politics and has filled the office of justice of the peace and grand juror. At present he is the town moderator and for many years he served on the school hoard. In fraternal connections Mr. Deming is a member of thé Grange and the Royal Arcanum. He has served ac clerk of the Berlin Congresational church for twenty-eight vears and as deacon since 1897 and has been a lifelong member.

That is ¢he joyful.cry of thousands since Dr. Edwards produced Olive Tab- Iets. the substitute for calomel. Dr. Edwards, a practicing physician for 17 years and calomel's old-time en- . emy, discovered the formula for Olive Tablets while treating patients for chronic constipation and torpid livers. Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets do not contain calomel, but a healing, sooth- ing vegetable laxative. _ No griping is the “keynote” of these little sugar-coated, olive-colored tablets. ‘They cause the bowels and liver to act normally. They never force them to unnatural action. If you have a “dark hrown mouth” now and then—a bad breath—a dull, tired feeling — sick headache — torpid liver and are constipated, you'll find quick, sure and only pleasant results from one or two little Dr. Edwards’ | Olive Tablets at bedtime.

Rulirg that a man’s home is his castle and is sacred from invasion even by the owner of the property, Justice A. H. Condell yesterday de- clared Jacob Folk to be guilty of as- sault and breach of the peace and imposed a fine of $7 and costs and a sentence of thirty days in jail, sus- pending execution of the latter pen- alty on condition that the accused ray for the damage caused in the rooms of his tenant. Folk owns property on Forestville avenue and has at his tenant Samuel Kusney. Yesterday morning the men got into an argument over responsibil- ity fqr the replacing of a pane of glass 'in a door leading teé the hall used by both families. Kusney is a carpenter and as he was supposed to have been to blame for the breaking of the glass the landlord insisted that he should put in another pane. He refused and after an argument re- tired to his domicile. Folk followed him into the house, and according to the tesrimony presented to the court, began tc call him names. Skeletons of both families were dragged out with the result that not only were diplomatic relations severed but ac- tual hostiiities were started. In a few minutes there was a gen- eral mix-up. Tables and chairs were thrown about, dishes were picked up by the combatants and shied at each other and fists came into general use, the appearance of the fighters indi- cating that they reached their target on sev.ral occasions. Kusney's wife joined in the melee and Folk was eventually offered, his opponents flay- ing hin until he begged for mercy. The screams of the cambatants aroused the neighborhood and a tele- phone call was sent in for Constable Philip Marino. The latter started on the run for the scene of trouble. On the way he met Folk, who had escaped from the house, and with blood streaming down his face was 1unnine madly yelling for a police- man. The officer. accompanied him to his house and invited the three people involved to accompany him to the town building, their stories conflicting to sucl an extent that he was unable to tell who was at fault. They were brought hefore Justice Condel' who heard their storfes. Dur- ing the trtal the men accused each other of stealing metal from various places and of having committed other offenses, the court having difficulty in keeping their conversation relative to “‘the motion befére the house.” Justice Condell ruled that Folk had no right to enter Kusrey's home unin- vited or to abuse him, even though he owned the property, and he ordered his conviction, freeing KXusney of criminal responsibility. After the hearing Constabdble Marino returned with the trio to the scene of the fight. Folk would have to go to jall unless he settled for the damage, and the constable was named as a ref. eree to determine how much Kusney was entitled to recover. The latter wanted $10. Constable Marino didn't think the damage would amount to so much and. after conferring with Justice Condell, named $2 as the price of a mettlement. The accused sep- arated himself from that amount and the men retired to their respective apartments. Mrs. Kusney was painfully scratched about the face during the struggle and she required medical at- tention Dr. L. H. Frost looked after her wounds. May Sell Cafe. Negotiations are in progress for the sale of the cafe in the Ropkins build- ing on East Main street, conducted by John L. Sullivan, and it is prob- able that within a few days applica- tion for the transfer of the license may be made. It was reported on the streets today that the saloon had changed hands, but Mr. nied that such was the case. He ad- mitted that he is negotiating with a vrospe tive customer, but there is a differer.ce over the price which has not as vet been settled. The name of the probable has not been given out. ! Bottle For Weapon. Using a whiskey bottle as a ‘“nut cracker,” Michael D. O'Sullivan, a Bristol Brass company employe, at- temted to prevent Constable Marino from arresting him last evening on an intoxication charge. During the struggle the bottle was broken and O'Sullivan’s ‘“drink for the morning" | was lost, Incidentally his efforts to restrain the policeman from taking him into custody were huyer BUILDING LOTS —ON— EASY TERMS — T Broad, Bohemia, West Main St., Plainville.
