 As usual. Stafford had the banner excursion to Watch Hill and Block Island. There were 6S2 tickets sold for the trip made last Saturday Of these about 13O were from Rockville, and there were 150 more in that city left behind owing to the fact that they could not get on the car due here at 7.15. This car was so crowded that no passengers could be taken on at West Stafford, and a return trip was made to that town to bring them over. The regular passenger train was held until the arrival of the 8.15 car from Rockville to take on those left the first trip, but none arrived. The car was late owing to the short extra trip made to Vest Stafford and back, and the Rockville people evidently concluded that there would be no chance. Seven cars were provided for the exoursionists. and there were not enough. as many people were obliged to stand. On the return trip ten cars were provided, which was just about what was needed. The hn n proved thoroughly enjoyable. There were no accidents After the return trip the car to Rockville was again crowded to it's capacity, and gayety was added to the occasion by four men riding on the fender. It is prob able that later excursion will be arranged for the benefit of Rockville.

 A we'll attended and enthusiastic meeting of the Stafford No License League was held last Friday evening to perfect organization and outline the campaign. Nearly every church i'll town was represented by it's pastor and one or more laymen. The league, which has but a single aim, the continuance of no-license for an other year in Stafford, will be able to do the work more effectively than the Law and Order League could do it. It is for this reason that the Law and Order League has retired from the no-license field, and will devote itself entirely to the enforce ment of law through the proper officials. The No-License League has but one motive-the welfare of the town and it's citizens Because of this motive it asks the hearty support and cooperation of every good citizen.
