SONNHILL COMPANY PROSPERS. Is Now Operating Leoms in Sayles § Mill Also. Continuing its expansion under the management that recently assumed charge of the plant, the Sonnhill Worsted company 1s now op nearly all of the looms in the mill at Elmville 15 well as all those in its main plajt, The concern has made Elmvilie 1oy prosperoms and promises from indications, to continue to do so. Way Down East as Popular as Ever. Holding the same entrancing appeal that has made the play so popular with New England folks for the past twenty years, Way Down Bast at the Orpheum theatre Thursday evening proved an attractive offering by Man- ager J. F. Lewis for the opening of the play-going seasom of 1914, which he hopes to make the most successful in the history of the theatre by offer- ing numerous first class attractions. While Way Down East is a periodic- ally reappearing attraction in Daniel- son, it was no less pleasing to the au- dience that came to see it Thursday than in other years and those present included a iarge number of playgoers from surrou-ding towns. The com- pany was first class in every respect and gave a fine interpretation of the quaint story of the play. Three Full Tickets to be in the Field. ‘With the naming of the republicans and progressives candidates for town offices to be chosen at the annual town meeting in the first Monday in Octob- er, at caucuses to be held this even- ing, and the completing of the slate of the democratic party at the caucus to- morrow afternoon. Killingly will have fairly entered upon a political cam- paign that at this time promises to be sufficiently lively to answer all purpos- es. This will be the first year in which three full tickets are offered to the cit- izens and this fact forecasts some in- teresting possibilities and the possible upset of old traditions as to what may be expected in the way of results. The student of political affairs will, of course, be able to make a closer guess as to what may happen as soon as he | g; has a chance to scan the lists of can- didates, but he will be some little guesser if he can accurately foretell all of the things that are likely to hap- pen. in the contest, for some have a reputa- tion to make and others have the same to keep as political strategists. There are to be no allies in this campaign— Jjust a well three-cornered political scrap, which all promise will be good- naturedly conducted, come what may. And as to that, here’s hoping. There have been times in the past when a similar good resolution has been made only to be indiscreetly forgotten under the stress of the heavy verbal siege guns of the enemy. WILLIAM BURNETT TO RIDE.

Burnett, who has been getting much experience of late in long distance riding, has entered the 24-hours endurance run of the Bay State Motorcycle club out of Boston on Saturday morning, of this week. ‘While this run is described as of 24 hours duration, there will be no night riding, the period being divided into twelve hours riding for Saturday and Sunday.

Inquiry at the office of the town clerk as to the number of hunting licenses issued shows that only one such per- mission has been taken out. Septem- ber is open season for duck hunting. but, evidently, most hunters are aware that a federal act makes the shooting of migratory birds an offense punish- able by law, though the statutes of Connecticut, not amended since the federal legislation, permit hunting of duck during this month. Few hunters here care to take the chance of run- ning up against the agents of Uncle Sam, for ducks are migratory birds and therefore protected under the fed- eral law, Special Town Meeting Called Thompson, Another special town meeting has been cal'ed in the town of Thompson as the resuit Qf & deadlock in the town school corhmittee that has pre- vented the election of a principal for Tourtellotte Memorial High schoo!

J, The body of Alexander Warner, liey- tenant colonel of the Thirteenth Con- necticut Volunteers during the Civil war, was brought to' Woodstock Thurs- day’ for burial in the cemetery ~at Woodstock Hill.

Mrs. Warner died in 1902 and_since then Colonel Warner had made his home with their only sur- viving child, B. S. Warner.
