THE MAN FROM MAINE.

The Grange Dramatic club scored an I'M
qualified success last night in "The man
from Maine" The new stage at grange
hall was used for the first time and proved
well adapted for theatrical purposes, the
excellence of the scenery being a surprise
to many in the good-sized audience pres
ent. The play progressed smoothly, and
was greeted warmly, particularly the work
of Alfred G. Trendall in the title role of
the backwoodsman who proved too much
for the New York sharpers and of Z. M.
Goodenough as the dude. The other parts
were well acted and several of the differ
ent make-ups were excellent. The cast:

1t will be a shock to the many friends Of Jonah
Scott to learn that he is now almost entirely
blind. For months the fact has been apparent To
the family and intimate friends, that this awful
fate was to be the lot of the head OF the family
circle. but not until this week had all hope been
foTsaken. But Mr.. Scott will be brought home
from Cincinnati to day where he went for treat
ment, with full knowledge that his case is
hopeless, He has been passenger conductor on
the Big Four for about 20 years and during near
ly all this time has lived here, making one of our
best citizens. He has scores Of friends here, and
wherever known, whose heartfelt sympathy goes
out to himself and family in this terrible mis-
fortune.
Mr.. Scott is a son of Mr.. and Mrs. Mar
tin Scott. He was employed in the bak-
cry in this village before engaging in rail
reading, and will be remembered here by
many friends.
The handsome new Baptist church at
West Royalston, Mass, is to be dedicated
next Wednesday. 1t was paid for in part
by the gift of $1,000 from Joel Gates, a
prosperous manufacturer of Burlington,
this state, whose early religious affiliations
were with this church. Rev. George L.
Ruberg, the present pastor, has prepared
some interesting historical notes in regard
to the church during its 1913 years of ex-
istence. He finds that nine Revolutionary
soldiers came from this church, 10 for the
war of 1912 and 81 for the civil war. 1t
has sent forth p ministers, 1863 school
teachers, and six ministers wives. Not
long since, Samuel Gale, a capitalist of
Minneapolis, gave parsonage to the old
church. The father of the late Gov. Bull
lock, who was of large family of Bull
locks connected with this church, gave
$25OO, the income of which is used for the
Support of preaching" The two first
deacons were Isaac and Jacob Estey, and
three generations of the family are buried
in the old Tully Brook cemetery near the
church. The Esteys of West RoYalston
were the direct ancestors of the Brattle-
boro family.
