In the superior court _in Putnam Tuesday, Attorney E. L. Darbie, coun- sel for C. A. Tillinghast, receiver for the A. F. "Wood company, stated to the court that if permission were granted to sell certain choses in action #nd to compromise certain ciaims, the final account of the receiver might be filed at the present term of court.

DANIELSON TRUST COMPANY To Ocoupy New Quarters on Saturday —Finely Appointed Banking House. The Danielson Trust company is to occupy its-new quarters in the Bradley bujlding Saturday. As now equipped the new quarters will rank with the | finest in towns the size of Danielson, . and larger, in the state. The magnifi- cent safe deposit vault, the art metal ! fixtures, the lighting arrangements, ' convenlences for patrons and the bank force represent the newest and best and an expenditure of many thousand dollars. The vault is protected by the most modern devices for foiling burg- lars and its reinforced concrete outer casing interlaced with wires, the break- ing of any one of which means the sounding of the big vault alarm out- side the building. The Danielson Trust company opened for business in No- vember, but as its quarters were not ready for occupancy at that time tem- porary quarters were taken in the Proenix building.

Send four cents in stamps for a TRIAL BOTTLE _ Dr. Earl S. Sloan, Inc. Dept. B. Philadelphia, Pa. the byways of the borough have noted with regret that lessons of the clean-up week last spring were not indelibly im- pressed upon some persons charged with the care of premises. This is at- tested by the great quantity of waste and litter that again has been allowed to accumulate, bringing back not only a condition of disorder, but, in some in- stances, of danger. Persons who are interested in having a borough beauti- ful suggest that a little publicity might create renewed energy to the end of getting back e tidiness. Eligible for Army Reserve. Danielson has a number of men elj- gible for enrollment in the much talked of army reserve. In 1898 Danielson sent out a company for service in the Spanish-American war, F of the Third resiment. Many of the members are still resident in this section, as are members of other commands that went out for service at that time. The bor- ough also has a_number of men who have served as officers in the Connecti- cut militia. It seems quite possible that a company of very respectable size could be recruited here for the army reserve. There are quite a few in the borough who have served terms of en- listment in the militia or coast artil- lery company here, but who are now retired from the service. At one time wken an army reserve was talked of it was believed that more than 100 men were available in Danielson and its immediate vicinity. OBITUARY. Samuel Brodeur.

The debate, Thursday afternoon, on the question, Resolved: th&t, except for the purpose of destroying harmful ani- mals, and for the purpose of obtaining food, hunting is morally wrong, was very interesting. The entire Debating club was divided into two teams, with Malcolm Willey as the captain of the affirmative team, and Donald Johnson, the captain of the negative. Miss Kent . Miss Pierce, and Miss Bowler gave the affirmative a slight prefer- ence, in that that side gave more em- phasis to the moral aspect of the sub- ject, but pronounced the debate a very close one.

Instead they were at home| getting their sleep after a somewhat| damp ad unpleasant allnight adven-| ture on the roads between Putnam and; Southbridge. The team played the lo-| cal high school team Wednesday even- ing. After the game the players start- ed for home in an automobile. It was| raining torrents. In the midst of al dark dreary two-mile stretch of lone- ly road the gasolene gave out. There was not a house in sight, much less a garage, whers additional fuel could be obtained, so all the boys could do was| to make the best of hard luck and| spend the night on the rear seat of the| automobile. All night they sat huddled together and when the first trolley car passed in the.morning they boarded it, leaving the chauffeur to get home with | his machine as best he could. _The score of the night before was P, H. S. 58, Southbridge 15. For the second time this season the Tourtellotte High Basketball team was taken into camp by the local quintet. From the starting whistle to the end thers was never a doubt but what the Putnam boys were to be victors. The superior pass work of the Putnam five kept the team from up the river guess- ing all the time, and one exception the Tourtellotte boys seemed to have great difficulty in locating the basket.
