Sisson Wil Observe Anniversary on Friday. To the lot of Mr. and Mrs. Franklin N. Sisson of Broad street, New Lon- don, will fall an unusual experience on Friday of this week, when they will be privileged to celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of their marriage. In their case the word “celebrate” is the proper term, for it would be indeed difficult to find a cheerer or more ac- tive couple at their time of life. Mr. Sisson is 85 years old and his bride of three score vears is 80, A happy smile illumined their faces when they united in declaring that if they had to start all over the journey again, each would choose the same mate. In all their married life nei- ther has had any serious iliness and for 40 years neither has taken’a drop of medicine. Mrs. Sisson was Miss Mary Ives. She_was born In Ohlo but has lived in New London the greater part of her life. Mr. Sisson is a native of New London and has always made his bome in that city. They were united In_marriage by Rev. J. C. Waldo, pas- tor of the Universalist church located at the corner of Church and Main streets. For a long period Mr. Sisson was ensaged in the grocery business and in recent years held the position of clerk to the mayor of New London. Friday afternoon from 3 to 6 o’clock Mr. and Mrs. Sisson will be pleased to receive their friends at an informal reception. That the home will be crowded goes without saying. “We are old fashioned people and the af- falr will be extremely simple,” sald Mrs. Sisson with a_kindly smile. “In fact we are so old fashioned we never thought of getting divorced.” Mr. Sisson is well known among the older roque players who gather in Norwich annually for the national tournaments. WEST SIDE CAR CRASHED INTO WAGON. Spilled Load of Grain and Thew Men Into Street. A wagon conveying two men of Polish natfonality, who were intoxicat-. cd and a load of grain was struck by the trolley car due at East Great Plain at 7.15 o'clock Tuesday evening. The men were thrown out, a wheel was taken off the wagon and the load of grain spilled. The car was in charge of Conduc- tor Hero and Motorm¥n Graves. The accident occurred alm\:t directly op- posite the new entrance to the fair ground. At the time the car was moving at the usual rate of speed and it seems that the glare from ~ the headlights of an_approaching auto- mobile made it difficult for the motor- man to see very far ahead. When the machine passed he saw the team near the track, but the distance was too short to prevent the crash. The men were attended by Dr. Callahan, T™o conveyed them to their _home They were unable to speak English and it was found necessary to get an interpreter. Tt was found that they lived in the vicinity of Gardners Lalke. They were not seriously hurt. The norse escaped unharmed. AT THE DAVIS THEATRE. The Blue Envelope. To say that The Blue Envelope, the three act farce presented at the Davis theatre on Tuesday evening, was all and even more than vouched for by the theatre management would be but to give it just credit. It was in fact one of the best productfons of its kind ever breught to Norwich by the Davis management. The audience, although not the largest of the season, was of good size and they manifested their appreciation of the efforts of those in the cast with well deserved applause. Carrle Reynolds as The Angel, an angel as far as attractiveness and beauty are concerned, but a sly, clever woman, ready at a moment’s notice to entrap ‘unsuspecting man _ in her meshes (she seemed to prefer fat men), was well backed up by an excel- Jent cast. Edward Qarvie, as John Doe, fat and witty, natural born com- edian in truth, and one of the Angel's victims, seemed to have formed a habit of getting in difficulty after aif- ficulty, comical predicaments, and then getting out of them as quickly as he ot in. Dr. Andrew Maurlce (Victor Brown), who served as a sort of ref- eree In the general mixup of domestic affairs, was exceptionally good. John MacSweeney took the part of the blustering and quick tempered, also fat Colgnel Horatio Bulger, one ~ of the doctor’s patients, who got into almost as much trouble, innecently, too, as John Doe. Ralph Nairn appeared as Dr. Plant, proprietor of a sanatarfum which served as a refuge for unfort- unate ang easy going John Doe, and also for Richard Doe, whose approach- ing marmage was very nearly broken up by the sudden appearance of his wife. The ®Angel, whom he thought dead. In spite of the tangle which seemed to grow with every turn John Doe made, the farce had a harmonious ending and the audience left the thea- tre well satisfied with the evening's entertainment. FUNERAL. Daniel N. Cranston, ‘The funeral of Daniel N. Cranston was held from the undertaking parlors of Church & Allen Tuesday afternoon, with relatives and friends attendin Rev. Joel B. Slocum, D. D., pastor of the Central Baptist church, officiated. Relatives acted as bearers. Burial was in Brewsters Neck cemetery, where Rev.

Barnes Senatorial Convention of 19th District Was Held Tuesday Noon at the Town Hall—Renomination Speech Made by Dr. Clinton E. Stark—Says Next Four Years Will be One of Greatest Epoch-Making Periods Country Has Ever Seen—Senatorial Committee Re-elected. HON. JOHN H. BARNES At the 19th Republican Senatorial convention held in the town hall on ‘uesday at noon, Hon. John H. Barnes renominated for state senmator, by Dr. Clinton E. Stark, Ex-Senator Wal- lis S. Allis, chairman of the senatorial committee ‘of the district called the convention to order. Chairman Al- lis said the republican party Is to be congratulated upon its bright prospects for victory in the coming election. When he called for nominations for chairman of the convention the names nton E. Stark of this city and William I Allen were mresented. Dr. Stark withdrew his name and Mr. Allen was elected. Arthur G, Crowell was then chosen clerk. The election of o credentials committee was dispensed with as on motion of Clerk Crowell, duly seconded, the delegates presented their credentials at the desk. The delegates were Arthur G. Crowell, Dr. C. E. Stark, Albic L. Hale, Frank ~T. Maples, of Norwich; Michael Nolan, Johr. B. Hollowell, ~Alanson Fuller, William H. Wicks of Preston; Fred- erick W. Burton, William I Allyn, proxie for Henry A. Allyn, of Ledyard. According” to the usual custom no resolutions committe was appointed. When Chairman Allen called for the nominations for state senator, Dr. Clinton E. Stark presented tjie name of Hon. John H. Barnes, for fe-nomina- tion. In his renomination address Dr. Stark said in part: We have met today most important, yet a very pleasant duty; important, because we have been commissioned to nominate a can- diate to represent the 19th senatorial district in the next general assembly; pleasant, because that commission comes from the republican party, that great party of prosress and achieve- ment. During the past four years the re- publican party has been paying pen- ance, but in this year, 1916, the 60th anniversary of its birth, it has been rechristened and has celebrated the has celebrated the event by selecting as its_candidate for the chief execu- tive of this nation that distinguished nd_eminent statesman, the Hon. Hughes. The republican as founded to establish liberty, and justice, and it stands to- after ‘all its triumphs and achievements, for the same great prin- ciple I Delieve the next four years will be the greatest epoch-making period, arring the Civil war, this country as ever witnessed. At present the old world is in a state of turmoil and restless ferment, but in time this will all cease. Then questions of tremen- dous _importance, affecting the whole world, will arise for settlement and how important it is that both nation- al and state officials should be men of experience, men of judgment and to perform a action. atchful waiting is some- times a virtue, but wasteful waiting fosters crime. As_we review the history of this try we find that Connecticut has d no mipor part in the nation’s lopment and that she may main- tain her standing it is important to select men of known wisdom and abil- ity in directing state matters. Prior to fifteen years ago southeast- ern Connecticut was hardly recognized on the political map but since that time it has won legislative recogni- tion and support equal to the other sections of the state, and during these years the gentleman whom I am about to name has three times been a member of the general assembly and it is due to his faithful work and that of his able assoclates that this recog- nition has been affected. ‘With his work for this district in the last lesislature I am familiar, and it is largely because of his persistent efforts and those of his associates that leislative support and_appropriations for our public institutions and other matters exceeded our expectations. His able and forceful presentation of leg- islative measures gave him a com- manding influence in the senate in all important matters concerning the wel- fare of the state. This, with his fa- miliarity with the needs of his con- stituents, preeminently fit him to rep- resent this district. The last legisla- ture honored him by’ placing upon his shoulders the judicial erminc. He has worn it with credit to himself and to the satisfaction of the people who are the final judge. Now it gives me great pleasure to nominate as a candidate to represent the 19th senaforial district in the next eneral assembly of the state of Con- necticut the Hon. John H. Barnes William W. Wicks seconded the nom- tnation. Senator Barnes was declared re- nominated. Dr. Stark and Constable Michael Nolan were appointed a com- mittee to notify him of his renomina- tion. As they escorted the nominee into the hall there was a burst of ap- plause. After thanking the convention for the nomination Judge Barnes said: I thank you for the nomination. It may appear strange to some that both the former representatives to the last house from Norwich, are seeking a renomination, as well as your senator from this 19th district. I trust, how- ever, that both Mr. Bailey and Mr. Henderson may be renominated and elected, T have, as you may know, had some legislative experfence, both in jhe house and senate, and I say to you hat T have never known two men who did more and better work for their constitutents than the sald Bailey and the said Hendersan: They both work. ed hard and faithfully in the interest of all the people of their town. Even though it was a lean year, and while the Middletown asylum faifed to get a dollar of extra money, they succeeded in getting one hundred and forty thousand dollars for new buildings for our Norwich Hospital for the Insane. The appropriation of $8000 for the Backus hospital was raised to $10,000 1 figure. The only failure was in met- ting $10,000 appropriation for the new dormitory for nurses at the Backus hospital. If they are elected I am sat- isfied they will get that amount, if not more, “appropriated at the next session. 1 have no ulterior motive in desiring to be returned to the senate. No ill will towards any man, and no political axes to grind. The Lord willing, 1 would like to be returned once more, in order that, if possible, I might ac- complish_certain measures. You saw fit in 1897 to send me to the house and again in 1899 to the senate. In those! years after much effort, the Montville trolley was put through, and it has| been a paying proposition ever since, and & big benefit to Nogwich. It is my desire to see that the Norwich, Colchester & Hartfora Traction com- pany is likewise put through and built. It will in my opinion be of vast benefit to Norwich. I own no stock in the company and expect none, but Norwich has been kind to me, much_kinder in the past, than I de- served and I want to do what I ma for my fown and district in return. The representatives of the county sa- fit to select me, as one of the members of the committee on the erection of a new bridge at Niantic. I am satisfied that I can do more and Better work as & member of the senate, in trying to have the bridge in question built by the state, and thus save the town of Norwich over ‘$2 00. ‘There -are other matters I ha in mind and they are all in the interest of my town and district and inhabitants thereof, irrespective of party or politics. ‘Whether or not I did my duty as a member of the house of 1897 and in the senate of 1899 and 1915, let the records of those years be my judge. I am willing to be judged by them. I thank you. On motion of Clerk Crowell the sen- atorial committee was re-elected. The committee comprises Wallace S. Al- lis, Norwich; Edward Lester, Ledyard, and Benjamin Bentley, Preston. On’behalf of Senator Barnes Chair- man_Allis invited the delegates to a luncheon at the Wauregan house after adjournment which was taken at one o’clock. In addition to the delegates and the committeemen there were present at the luncheon: Rev. Charles A. North- Frank H. Smith, chairman of the 1blican town commrttee, Deputy Judge Henry 1. Pettis, James C. Fitz- patrick and Dr. N. B. Lewis. On motion of Dr. Stark Senator Barnes was given a rising vote of thanks for his hospitality, COUNTY AGENT WARNER TO HAVE ASSISTANT. Increased Duties Make Additional Help Necessary For Welfafe of Improve- ment League. At a meeting of the executive com- mittee of the New Lonaon County Im- provement League on Monday night, President Whitman in the chair, it was decided to secure an assistant county agent at a salary not to exceed $1,200. This action was taken as a measure to relieve County Agent F. C. Warner of some of the increased ~duties which have piled up in the past few months. Present at_the meeting in_addition to President Whitman_were J. D. Avery, a director, W. O. Rogers, secretary, Robert W. Perkins, State Leader H. J. Baker. Assistant State Leader L G. Davis, Director C. P. Bushnell, Treas_ urer Charles I Smith, Director F. Hitcheock and County Agent F. Warner. The dutles of the county agent have increased so that projects voted by the directors have been carried out with difficulty and as New London wants a branch office it was thought advisable to provide an assistant at a salary not to exceed $1,200. Organization of county work was discussed and it was decided to put it-on a firmer basis than in the past. County Agent Warner was made man- ager of the Farm Burcau. Other questions taken up for dis- cussion included that of traveling ex- pensés for the directors when attend- & meetings and also the changink of the close of the fical _year from April 30th to September 20th, to cor- respond with the closing of the state year. The meeting adjourned about 5.30 after a very enthusiastic ses- sion. ANNUAL MEETING OF CLERICUS HELD HERE. Rev. Richard R. Graham Elected Pres- ident for the Ensuing Year. Rev. Richar@ R.

AND MRS. LAKIN Given by Young People of Union Baptist Church of Montville Who Presented Pastor a Purse of Gold.

Lakin not knowing anything about the plan went out to spend the even- ing at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Web- ster. Miss Maud Bennett, daughter of Mr. Webster, who was one of the leaders in planning the surprise, ex- cused herself, pretending to go to the post office and went to the village to notify the group of young people who had gathered at a given place, that Rev. and Mrs. Lakin were spending the evening at her home and to invite them to come up to her house that plans might be carried out there, in- asmuch as by a strange coincidence it was Mr. Webster's birthday. At quarter .of eight in spite of the rain 23 young people went trooping in, cach one bearing a package contain- ing something good to eat. Mr. and| Mrs. Lakin were thoroughly surprised as_the young people entered. Vocal and instrumental music and zames helped to pass a most enjoy- able evening, during which Andrew Rosenlund on behalf of the young peo- ple thanked Mr. Lakin for the sreat interest he had shown in the young people during his pastorate, and for the good time he made possible for them at the camp at Harrison’s Land- ing in August and presented him a purse of gold. Mr. Lakin was greatly affectea by this expression of love and good will from the young people and expressed his appreciation in a few words in which he thanked the young people for their loyalty and devotion, expressing regret that the pleasant as. sociations_which he had enoyed with them as their pastor must cease but assuring them he would always re- member them, and his associations with them, with the greatest pleasure. Mrs., Webster served sandwiches, several kinds of cake and_cocoa, as- sisted by Mrs. Burgess, Miss Vera Burgess and Miss Maud Bennett, The party broke up at a late hour, all_declaring they had spent a very enjoyable evening ang expressins their thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Webster for their kind hospitality.
