I have organized the Inventors' Pro¬ tective Association & Mfg. Company which will be incorporated next week with a capital of $100,000.

as I would prefer to purchase what can without leaving the Village but the terrible muddy ami filthy condition of the business streets prevents me stores and I al- ful condition of the streets that it is impossibile for anyone to keep a stock clean and fresh, theerfore I go to the city to do my shopping.
I am much surprised that the busi¬ ness men of the Village do not try to take any steps towai^d improving their conditions and surroundings.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs. K. D.
P. S. Hope you will give this space in your paper and I will feel gratified if any notice is taken of warning.

Willamantic, Conn. Later informa tion from Lake Twitchell, where Mrs. Jordan was spending a vacation with her husband, informed us that Mrs. Jordan expired very suddenly while dressing, and without any previous ill¬ ness, death being due to acute indiges- j tion. Mrs. Jordan had been in a run-! down condition since leaving Freeport! for the heat of the city and was not in I the proper physical condition to with-I stand the attack. The prayer nieei;-1 ing in the M. E. Church Thursday even-1 ing took the form of a memorial ser-! vice to Mrs. Jordan, and the sympathy | of the entire congregation was tele-1 graphed to Dr. Jordan.
