We hear good things said of the en-
tertainment at South Wellington Fri
ity who were present. The messages
of remembrance sent by Messrs. Phil
brook and Snow to their friends on
the Hill we're appreciated.
We note that Representative Hall
is chairman of the committee on new
counties. We know of no other coun-
ty now in jeopardy except ours, Toll
land, and although we may be drawn
and quartered for saying so, we per-
sonally think it would be feasible to
abolish it under all the circumstances
Part of the county could go to Wind
ham and part to Hartford, and the
people would be- accommodated by
the change especially courtwise, if
they would look at it in the right
way. Wilmington, for instance, used
to belong to Hartford county, but to
belong to Windham county now would
be much handler in more ways than
one. Mere sentiment should give way
to praoticality.

To Mrs. @. T. Preston =
received your Letter Tuesday, and
was very much surprised to think
that you should write to me after
getting into so much trouble as
have. Well, feel awfully sorry
about it, but am innocent Of what
they say I done excepting larceny,
and don't deny that. You asked
me in your letter if 1 was down there
in December. suppose you have
reference to the stealing of Mr.. Co.'S
groves horse and team. I will con-
fess that I stole it, and will you
please ask him if he will forgive me
this time, and tell him that I shall
make it right either to him or some
of the folks, when i get out for the
expense it cost him. From this day
forward I am going to turn over
new leaf, SO help me God. I hope
he has got his team. left it in
North Russell, Mass. 1 wish you
would write and tell me if he has got
it or not and what he says. It was
from reading these novels that made
me so crazy headed, 1 think. Be sure
and tell me the news if you write
again. Yours respectfully,
Claude R. Taylor, Worcester.
We give the following, recently re-
ceived. The item referred to was
new to both. us and your readers, we
think -
Springfield, Mass. Jan. 20, 1905.
I am 10th to believe that the good
people of Wilmington care to read news
that is 40 years old, as they did when
they read the item in regard to my
self in the Press of January 18th.
AS have been in the same business
in Springfield for 40 years the news
item might very properly have been
published 40 years ago. My boyhood
days we're spent in Wilmington, but
have not lived there since 1862.
With my recollections of Wilmington
L nave many Pheasant memories or the
good men that I knew there more
than 40 years ago. Among those
that knew best was Deacon Royal
9. Eldredge, Solyman Taylor, Charles
Rider, G. n. Merrick, Emory P. Will
liams, Deacon Henry Whitford. John
Whitford, John B. Carpenter, VIM.
shaffer, VIM. Waldo, Harvey Mer-
rick, VIM. Still, Elijah N. Carpenter,
Luoius Eldredge, all Of whom are
passed away. L was only a boy when
they were all middle aged or old men.
With the exception Of Moses l.. Dim
COX, I think of no one now that is
living in town that was acquainted
with then.
Respectfully yours,
