PRIVATE PAUL AR : Winner in Competitive Drill on Thurs.| day Evening. . o ral hundred people attended the eomuve Grili in the srmory on Val: ley ‘street Thursday evening. Dflpt. P J. F. Sullivan had a company of nearly fifty men on the floor and Company L never appeared to better advantage. The company was first put through a course of sprouts by the commanding officer and then turned over rto Lieu- tenant Carpenter for a short _time. Lieut. 3. M. Churchill of the Eighteenth U. S.«infantry was present at the juds~ for the drill. He is at present, sta tioried at Storrs as the military com- mandant of the cadet battalion there. Captain Piper of Company A and Cap. n Hatfield of Company B, cadet bat- on, C. A. C., accompanied him. Mayor D. P. Dunn was a guest,of honor. Members of Francis §. Long post, No. 30, G. A. R, and A. C. Tyler camp, No. 8, U. 8. W. V., also had seats reserved for them. The drill was somewhat different from last vear, an altogether different system being used by the judge. Squad after squad was lined up and put through their paces and were fast weedstl out until but five remained. This number was quickly cut down to two men, Corp. J. G. Mack and Priv. Paul A. Curran. This duo executed the various commands in good shape and it was a pretty even thing until finally Corporal Mack was caught and Private Curran was declared the win- ner. Mayor Dunn in behalf of the com-.| pahy then presented medals to the two men with a few encouraging words. He alluded to the effort that was be- ing made to secure a state armory for ‘Willimantic and said that he had al-| ready introduced a redolution asking | for one in the present house, of which he had the honor to be a member. * He said the fact of the interest shown in military affairs in Williman- tic by her citizens was alone sufficient to entitle the city to a state armory. | ‘The mayor then tendered the freedom of the city to the visiting officers. He was cheered heartily by Company L and was liberally applauded by the large audience. At the conclusion of the mayor's speech Captain Sullivan invited all present to come down from the gal- leries and enjoy themselves for the re- mainder of the evening. Dancing fol- lowed and all had a’very pleasant time. Minute Men’s Fourth Assembly. The Minute Men have about com- pleted arrangements for their fourth assembly. Sl et TO FORM BROTHERHOOD.

Total Number of Deaths Was 123. There were 123 deaths in the town of Killingly during 1910. The greater number of these deaths were in the vil- lages of the town outside of Danielson.

Exploration Work to Be Described. At the Congregational church Sun- day ‘a feature of the Sunday ‘school work will be the giving of an account of the exploration work that has been conducted under the auspices of Har- vard university among the ruins of Samaria. This exploration work has brought to light a palace believed to Dbe that constructed by Omri and Ahab and about which so much is being written in current literature. Gypsy Moth. Hunt Might Be Wise. 1t might not be amiss to make an in- vestigation in Danielson to determine it the gypsy moth is present. There is a strong probability that the pest can-be found here. Putnam has just made an effort to rid the city of the insect and more than 500 nests have been found and destroyed. The gypsy moth has a faculty of traveling by various means over great distances in a short time, and if the moth is in Putnam there is good reason to believe that it is also here.
