Republican Delegates for E. H. Reach for Senator-Town Debt Reduced S5,4S7-Brooklyn's Disbursements- R. F. D. for South Killinsly.

The annual reports for. the town of of Killingly for the year ending July S1, 1912, will be ready for distribution in few days. These reports will be of particular interest this year for the reason that they will show that the debt of the town has been reduced by S5,487.40, or to $I90, ,42496
 This latter sum is the lowest figure that Killingly's debt has totaled since 1909, when it was $1S2,231S6. At the end of the last fiscal year, 1911, the debt was the highest in the towns history, S195,912.S6.
 With the exception of four years the debt of the town has been decreased yearly during the decade that closes with 1912, the principal increases be- ing due to heavy expenditures for a new high school building and for the town hall. The revenue from licenses accounts for the greater part of the decrease in debt this year, but not for all of it, as will be shown by the details of the reports when they are issued.

Baldwin, an ardent fan Of Willimantic, was struck above the forehead with a batted ball that knocked him to the ground. A big crowd gathered around MT. Baldwin, but he as quickly jumped to his feet, remarking Everything is all right, boys, go ahead!" He said he had & great time during the day and never enjoyed d game more in his life. He said that he had sort of a premonl tion that he was going to get hit with a ball. but was not prepared for the one that felled him to the greensward.
