Who is who in Bridgeport
PURELY PERSONAL It means a new awning that's all. D Lane. We are doing a rushing business James Roy. Next week we have our Fair week and we are busy preparing for it EB Lyon. It was fine to be able to fill so many baskets with good food for the needy Sheriff Doolan. I was proud to walk with our boys Monday evening Joseph C Ivers Aragon Council K of C are preparing for a little entertainment at their rooms in Main street next week. The Antlers have engaged Masonic hall for the evening of April 16 the occasion of their informal reception. Miss Helen Simonds and Miss 5S Bassett of this city students at Mt Holyoke college are home for the Easter recess. Probate Clerk William V Devitt and Mrs Devitt leave the city the latter part of the week for Great Barrington Mass for a period of rest which the physician of Mr Devitt has ordered. His many friends hope the change may prove most beneficial and that he will soon return fully restored to health. Horace Jackson is justly proud of the letter received from ex President Roosevelt through the latter's secretary acknowledging with thanks the good wishes extended him by Mr Jackson. The secretary also states that the ex President has received so many thousands of letters from all parts of the country it would be impossible to reply to them. Thomas H Suckley of Ogden street father of Police Sergeant Suckley is confined to his home suffering from a fractured rib and other serious bruises the result of a fall in East Main Street Monday afternoon. A defective sidewalk was the cause and owing to Mr Suckley's enfeebled condition his physician is not certain at this time what the outcome may be. Law.
