The most notable ac- somplishment perhaps was the completion of the Taftville mill, which was predicted 8 become the nucleus of a thriving vil- Isge. As meen today, this prediction has seme true and proved the foresightedness of the editor of 50 years ago. Extracts from The Bulletin's filed of 1870 follow: Dec. 26, 1870.—Sunday was Christmas Say. Christmas eve passed very coldly and quietly. Early in tHe evening the last purchaser of Christmas gifts had left the cold slippery streets to the icy nerth wind and its master, the F- §t King. Save for the absence of snow, i. was the con- ventional weather of the night—a night to et around a blazing fire and tell ghostly wories of adventure—of travelers lost in Ignely regions—to brew reeking jorums of flip, and to feel a sense of comfort and of adorn for the howling gale without. Christmas morning bright and @lear, the sky and in full tone with the happy memories of the day. At the various churches there were the wssal Christmas services, but the custom- &ry observance of the day will net take pince until today. Dec. 27, 1870.—There was no Bulletin printed on this day owiug to the observ- saoe of Christmas. Dec. 28, 1870.—At a meeting bf Uncas No. 11, 1L 0. O. F,, the following efficers were elected: A. J. Kelly, N. G.; ‘Willlam N. Andrew, V. G.; E. Gavitt, sBeretary; W. H. Burnett, treasurer; J. Is” Devotion, Asa Nash, Jr., and E. M. Brewster, finance committee. ‘Windham county still maintains her proud pre-eminence in the domain of pig- dom. A plethorio porker belonging te Deacon Newberry, having arrived at the ripe age of eight months, was found to vossess a gravity beyond its months, weighing 415 pounds. J. Jordan, who ras the pig’s guide, paliosopher naad iriend, inquires triumphantly “How is that for high?” This year young Mr. Haggerty is the Agst public spirited individual to satisfy the popular longing for sensation by fall- ing into the river. An excess of adipose tesue and an airhol: were th: hmrediatc sauses of young Mr. Haggerty's imersion, and a convenient rail and an extremel thorough chastisement at the material 3 hands were the meafin of his rescue and revivification. Dec. 29, 1870.—About 1 o'clock Wed- sesday morning as Jonathan Crandall, For Infants and Children Ja Use For Over 30 Years erly, R. 1, was going his rounds, he dfs- covered what he supposed to be a drunk- en man just above: the Niantic' bank. When he proceeded to gee’ who it was a second man approached him from behind and as Mr. Crandall turned to look at him this person shot him in the forehead. Drs. Wijbur and Collins attended him but were unable to locate the.bullet. It is feared the wound will prove fatal. 'Who the as- &assins were or what their object was of course remains a mystery at present. A complete set of burglars’/ stools were found under the platform of the Westerly depot. Another of those buzz saw anecdotes yesterday. This time two fingers and 2 gentleman at McQuirk & Bacon's were divorced.

A re- ‘ward of $5,000 has been offéred for their apprehension. 3 The circumstances attending.the death of Mr. Lester, formerly foreman:of The Bulletin, were peculiarly sad.. The Hart- ford Post says he left a wife and a little babe one day old. A party of friends came on. the Tuesday morning ‘train to make him a call, bringing with them $40 in meney and othér gifts to give him a pleasant Christmas surprise, but on reaching his residence they ‘found that he had been dead about 15 minutes| About this time we expect to hear of “the death of the old year” and “a new page open in.the book.of life”. and “an- other cycle of time become eternal” and requiems and ‘dirges for the hoary past and all that sort of thing. Who will be the first to give us this annual dose of melancholy ? i ‘ Dec. 31, 1870—The Norwich Catholie Benevolent association on Thursday even- ing elected the following officers for the ensuing year: President, William Shields; vice president, Willlam Ryan: treasurer, Joseph Conners; sec- retary, Charles A. 3 financial secretary, Jossph Plunket; - directors, Thomies o ‘William James Drew, German, Samuel F.

LODGE NOTES ELES Members of the locz! lodge of Elks have received copies of the speech of Daniel A. Reed of New York House ‘of Representatives on . Saturday June 5, 1920, in which Mr. Reed calis \me-un ,to the great war relief work watchman of the various banks in Wfltf-\rlflmd laid and the great comVenience done by the Elks’ War Rellet Commis- sion durin gthe war and after. Mr. Reed in speaking of $he work says: ‘“The Eiks were the first to suggest to the govern- ment the building. of a reconstruction hospital and offered to purchase a site and erect a building for the purpose, to be turned over.to the ‘government. gratis fo ruse during the e>d of the war and #s much longer as needed, and our Gov- ernment - hastened to accept this gener- ous and timely offer. ¥ ‘The Elks Reconstruction Hospital, at Boston, was thereupon erected, complet- €d, and equipped in record time, and was the only hospital of the kind ready in time to receive and treat the first of the disabled returning soldiers, saflors and marines of our fighting forces. ‘Two large base hospitals in Franee. completely outfitted and equipped By the Order of Elks wa=~ a=--< {he most ef- | ficient - operated during the war. It I8 a maiter 0. ..Cord that' the Be- nevolent and Protective Order of- Elks largely financed or assisted in financing the Salvation Army during the period of war, thus “making it possible for that great uplift organization to successfully accomplish . results among those in the trenches that have received the. unstint- ed praise of -practically every person con- nected with the American ‘Expeditionary Forces abroad, as well as the mothers and fathers of every boy in the service. It has been pubdlicly stated by Command- er Bvangeline Boeth that hut for the as- sistance of the Elks the Salvation Army could not have accomplished. the resuits that it did at the fromt. This in itself is a great tribute to any organization. Our attitude toward vocational train- ing is shown by the fact that the la providing for it was passed by unanmou vote in both Houses of Congress. B there have developed some 'obstcales to the 1 carrying out of the Gov- ernment’s vecational-training program that could not be foreseen when the law Here, 2gain, the Benevolent and rro- tective Order of Elks, through the Elks War Relief Commission, has shown a broadness of vislon and a sp'¥* of prac- tical progressiveness ‘that, in my opinion merts the sincerest appreciation and high- try. Particularly is-this true because of the timeliness- and.-the generosity with which the' Elks met a very urgent and pressng rneed “and emergenicy. But this THe practical value-of this tund to the Government’s vocational training program ; by the fact that official (?l'm— in the| ing, there had been 28,671 separate in- |stalling officer assisted by members of Norwich, Thames and Hugenot lodges. The installation of officers of Thames lodge will take place jery 18th, stances in which they had been finan- cially assisted by the Elks' fund for a total amount of $502,898.05. Officials connected ‘with the Federal Board for Vocatfonal Education have stated that thousands of -these boys either could not have enter.§ upon their training in the first instance, or could not contiue it except for ths assistance received from the Elks. T ¢ép not hesitate to say that in my opinion the Eiks have not cnlv done much to insure the success of our vocational training undertakng but have saved the situation in an emergens which might have meant failure but €or some such assistance as they have. derstanding, furnished.
