Colonel Jaryis wishes it understood that he Jyould prefer to serve in the ranks ag 4 private and not as an officer. There have:been a number who seemed to think that he was looking forward to becoming one’ of the heads of the or- ganization but this is not so and while Jhe is willing to devote his time to the interest of the guard he considers thaj some of the younger men should h:? the positions as.officers. ‘All,citiz in both sections of ‘the town should work. togother in the formation ¢f the guard so-that-the town ean (ul‘; out as good a representative body a: any other place in the state.

Hemingway, Aged 96 Years, Succumbs to Disease FUNERAL SATURDAY Had Been a Re lent, of Plainville for 65 Years—Home Guard Recruits Now Number Sixty—Hurdy Gurdy Comes to Grief—Other Items. Mrs. " Olive M. Hemingway, Plain- ville’s oldest resident, and the last of a trio of nonogenarians whose careety attracted attention during the latter days of their lives, passed away last night at the home of her daughter, Mrs. James ,E. Webster of .Broad street. Mrs. Hemingway had.'been in a- weakened conditon for days, alil- ments incident to advanced age prov- ing’ a great strain on tion, - but her death had been unex- pected until a few hours'before she died, when she lapsed into a state of gemi.consciousngss from Wwhich she failed to recover. ' Her funeral will be held Saturday afternoon at 2 ¢'clock from her daughter's home. Services will be conducted af the house. Mrs. Hem- ingway was the oldest member of the Congregational church and an effort will be made to get Rev. F. L. Grant of East Hampton, former pastor, to officiate at her funeral. The inter- ment will be in West cemetery. Born in Harwinton, Mrs. Hemi way was ninety-six years old 1ut January. She had lived in this town for approximately 65 years and was one of Plainville’s best known and most respected residents. She was a woman of charming disposition' and she had many characteristics that en- deared her to all who had the pleas- ure of her acquaintance. Although nearing the century mark in life’s journey, Mrs. Hemingway re- tained her faculties in remarkable manner until a brief period before she passed away.. She took 'a lively interest in current topics and was a most interesting - conversationalist. Her reministenses of Plainville's early days were fascinating and her neigh- bors and friends were delighted with opportunities to chat over olden times with her. Mrs. Hemingway’'s two closest friends, and for a long time neighbors, died within the past two years. They were Mrs. Phoebe Cowles, who passed away at the age of 101 and Mrs. Mary Morse, who was 97 when she was claimed by death. She was the widow of Jacob W. Hemingway, who died a number of years ago. Besides her daughter she leaves a son, Tax Collector W, J. Hem- ingway, a granddaughter, Mrs. Arthur Robbins of Waterbury, and a great grandson. Hurdy Gurdy Comes to Grief. Canned music was spilled in the street last evening when a team owned by New Britain parties, whose names were not ascertained, collided with a hurdy gurdy, which had been enter- taining the populace with patriotic airs and strains of the “latest” Ha- waiian melodies, the instrument being wrecked from the impact. The organ grinder In charge of the outfit, was thrown by the:collision and sustained painful though not serious bruises. The hurdy gurdy was being drawn by its operator along West Main street when the team crashed into it, the driver failing to. see the music box in the darkness. There was a med- ley of popular airs as the mechanism in the instrument was put out of com= mission, the cries of the operator add- ing to the discord. The team was topped’ and the driver went to the aid of the injured man, who although suffering considerable pain was not badly hurt. He was subsequently able to tow the wreckage of his meal ticket to New Britain. Recruits Number Sixty. Plainville men continue to report at the post office for enlistment in ths docal unit of the Home Guard and the committee in charge of the re- cruiting reported this nforning that there are now seventy names on the roll. Last night a large number pre- sented themselves to take the oath and to submit to medical examination. Among them were a number of foreign born residents, several of whom have not been made citizens. All of them, however, are ready to sever ties with the government of the land .of their birth and to shift their allegiance to Uncle Sam, . By the end of the week, the com- mittee expects that nearly 150 will be in the service, ready to respond to Captain . Trumbull’s call for drill or for duty in protecting public or pri- vate property from damage at the hands of the country’s foes, who may be lurking in this locality. Numbering among the Home Guards are a number of young men who are eligible for service in the army or navy and several of them have signi- fled. their intention of responding to a call for volunteers should congress decree that the country is at war and is in need of the services of the youth of the mnation to protect it. Boys Lost Here. Two boys, aged 8 and 3 years, left their home in Southington yesterday morning to visit their:father at the Trumbull Electric factory.. The little chaps walked the distance end ar- rived safely, starting torapome in the afternoon. They got on ‘the sroad to Bristol, however, and late in' the day, realizing that they had lost their way; they called at the home ‘of Herbert | Knox in Red Stone Hill and weeping- 1y explained their piredicament. Mr. Knox entertained them at sup- | NISERABLE FROM STOMAGH TROUBLE Felt Wrotched Untl He Started .

Although Architects Unkelbach and Perry of New Britain have announced i that the time for recetving bids for 1 the proposed addition to the Broad j street schoolhouse will close at noon tomorrow, some of the members ot the committee appointed to have charge of .the work, report that they have not seen the plans or specifica- tions and have no knowledge concern- ing them. The committee as a whole, as far as they know, has never accepted any plans and they are not certain that they will be satisfactory to them. although they assume that they are correct. Selectman Johnson, who was named a member of the committee, claims he has not been approached regard- ing the plans. Secretary Osborné of the town school committee is also in the dark and until he learned from thd Herald that the bids had been called for he didn’t know that the plans had been accepted . ‘While they have made no complaint over the actions of their associates, they hold that before bids were called for the committee should be certain that the plans and specifications are satisfactory to them, as changes in the layout made after the contract is aarded might prove expensive. Mrs. Antionette Wilson. Mrs. Antionette Wilson, widow of Humphrey Wilson, died this morning at her home on North Washington street. She was elghty-one years of agd and was born in Harwinton. She is survived by a son and daughter. The funeral will be held Saturday af ternoon “at 2 o’clock. Rev. O. W. Barker of Hartford will officiate at the services, which will be at the house.

Brief Items. Rev. J. T. MacDonald of this place celebrated a high mass of requiem at the funeral of Robert Maxwell of Farmington held in S8t. Patrick’s church in that village this morning. The body was brought here for burial ir. St. Joseph’s cemetery. There will be a meeting of Sequas- sen lodge, I. O. O .F., this evening in Odd Fellows’ hall.
