4 OLD SKUNK 3 Singular Title Of =
q CHURCH Massachusetts Edifee
Observation-Disclosures

One of the Oldest churches along the
South shore is the First Baptist church
of Marshf1eld, Mass. But a visitor to
the ancient town never hears the edi-
fice called by its proper title. Ask al
most any resident of that section lying
west of South Marshfield, Where are
you going to church today?" and the
reply will be, invariably, cover to the
old Skunk" The "Old Skunk" meet
ing house, as it is locally known, has
an interesting history. Nearly half
century ago, the story is told by the
older residents, a family of five healthy
skunks marched boldly into the church
one spring morning and took complete
possession. It was a bright, warm day;
the congregation marched quietly out,
the minister made his escape in a hur-
ry through a convenient window. and
the service was continued on the lawn,
after but slight delay. One of the
animals was handsome specimen. 1t
was one of the largest ever seen in the
town, and the family remained in its
new home for several weeks, finding
SOiSCAACAAG pAoSC LII q uS0L luC
pulpit. From this time on the church
was called the "Old Skunk meeting
house. Marshfield people, by the way,
still call their churches meeting houses
after the olden-time style. The church
was the first one of Baptist denomina-
ton to be established in this section.
In 1884 six persons were baptized by
the Rev. Elder Elisha Calendar of
the First Baptist church of Boston, and
in 1748 several more were baptized. In
1878 the Rev. Isaac Backus of Middle
| borough" as it was then called, per-
formed some missionary labors in this
vicinity, and concerning Marshfield,
wrote in his diary: Deacon Josiah
Games and his wife, Thomas Eames
and his wife, David Thomas, Jr, and
his wife, Thomas Joyce and his wife,
and some others, seem not only to be
convinced that the present parish wor-
ship Congregational is very corrupt,
but that Baptist principles are right;
were very thankful for my coming,
and there is a hopeful prospect of an
agreeable society being formed there"
The Baptist Religious Society of
Marshfield was formed in 1888, at the
home of Jonathan Joyce, now the late
Hewitt Simmons place, near the pres
emit church edifice. The movement was
begun while the Rev. William Shaw of
Bridgewater was pastor of the First
Congregational church. The same year
a meeting house was built and 10 years
later, in 1897, the society was incorpo-
rated, the. charter members being:
Thomas Joyce, Lucy Joyce, Zenas
Thomas, Abigail Thomas, Ichabod
Sherman, Rebecca Chase, Abigail

Tribe of
Dirt Eaters

A colony of dirt eaters has been dis
covered in the backwoods of Coffee
county, not more than 20 miles from
Nashville. Tenn. These strange people
were found by party of prospectors
few days ago. They were almost shut
off from communication with the rest
of the world. They live in rude huts
and have few of the necessities OF life.
How they manage to exist is puz-
zle to those who have investigated
their queer settlement.
The general appearance of the adults
is that of living cadavers. Their eyes
are deeply sunken and devoid Of ex-
preston. Their lips are of a BLUSH
white tinge, and the general complex
ion is dirty white.
These queer people wear few clothes.
The men are suspicious and can hard
ly be approached or engaged in con-
versation in any manner. The chill
dren scamper into the woods at the
sight of a stranger, and can be seen
now and then as they poke their heads
from under shrub or from behind a
tree.
Within the last few days number
of persons have gone from Tullahoma
to investigate these people and their
habits. Several families have been
discovered near the mountains. They
claim that their fathers cultivated the
unwholesome taste for dirt. One of
the more intelligent men of the tribe
stated that they eat clay, of blush
character, found on the mountain Sides
This, it seems, produces sleepy feel
ing, and those addicted to the habit
are victims of epilepsy.
1t was found that not one of them
could read or write, while they could
hardly understand even the very sim
pie words. Their language is pecu-
liar, and they appear to be mentally
