I, May 29, 1831 ,the sop of Henry and ‘Mary ‘Hope Jones Thurber, and | O; was one of a family of eleven chil- dren.

The sugar was being put out on Thursday at 11 cents a pound, and the anxious manner in which buyers came to get some of it was fair indi- cation of the fact that the sugar fam- ine has not been materially eased off during the past three weeks, although more ample supplies were expected by this time. As the sugar Is being distributed in Danielson there wiil be some for ev- ery family and enough to tide over until another shipment that is on the way is received here. OBITUARY. Mrs. Martha Horton.

The proposal to set back by an hour the leaving time of the morning boat train out of New London for Worces- ter, in order to provide better accom- modation for sailors and civiian em- pioyes at the submarine base, at onee becomes-of special interest to Daniel- son. 4 The boat train is now due to reach here at about 7 a. m., and is the me- dium by which hundreds of quarts of milk are daily forwarded to Boston, the train taking on a milk car at Jew- ett City. Under the suggested change the train will not arrive here until about 8 a. m. and unless another change of running time be made for a train from Willimantic to Boston there would be no connection for Bos- ton at Putnam, The outcome of the effort of the Norwich Chamber of Commerce to have the train kept on its present schedule will be watched with special interest here.
