Roads Need Attention. The voters and taxpayers who a few vears ago appropriated §10,000 for good roads are still hopeful that the high- way commissioner will soon get busy and repair or put in a new road -be- tween here and Yaniic. This road has been macadamized, but last fall an as- sistant to the state highway office re- paired the road by dumping a few loads of gravel on the macadam to fill up holes, and now the road is worse than aver, so that in stormy weather drivers of horses drive on the footpath to escape the mudholes, which is a poor example of the good work done by our state highway commissioner. ‘Drivers between here and Yantic noticed a herd of eight deer near the Yantic farms last Saturday. Some of the young girls have organ- ized a walking club. Arbor Day Observed. Arbor day was observed by the chil- dren of the local school and mere trees were planted this year than ever be- fore. Through the generosity of the Porteous & Mitchell company of Nor- wich, sixty catalpa trees were received at the Sixth distriet and distributed among the pupils. Six of these trees were planted on the school grounds. Loss of $325 Hol As James McGarrity of Norwich was delivering a load of furniture for M. H.
