 STAFFORD.
 The value of The Press as a preserver of local history is shown in the fact that of all the sought for information concern ing the history of the Springs House but one fact comes to light that is not got from it's back files. That one Is that Gen. Warren of Bunker Hill memory was at one time the owner of the property. Prof. Hammond's contributions to The Press along in 1975-7, recognized as standard and reliable local history, speak of the generals interest in the Springs and of his plan to utilize them by purchase and by building hotel on the property. The town records show that the property was actually bought by him. During the past week different persons have sent to this office information concerning the hotel, but examination in every case showed that back files of The Press was the source of information, though generally unknown to the parties who had found the extracts copied in the handwriting of deceased friends. Nevertheless we appreciate the kindness of those who have been at such pains, and will be glad of contribu- tions of any scraps of information con- cerning early building enterprises in Staf- ford Springs, or of it's early settlers. Who knows the age of the "Bloss House," supposed to be the oldest building in the borough.
 The death of Dr. Eaton of Monson, after a long illness, occurred last We'd nesday. A tribute to deceased, copied on page 1st from the Palmer Journal, is a well deserved one. In the several places of his residence-including that of his birth-in this vicinity, deceased was held in the highest esteem, as man, a physi- elan, and neighbor. He lead a quiet christian life, and enjoyed the love of many, the respect and friendship of all who knew him.
