 The meetings of the Ashford Bap- tist Association at South Wilmington last week Tuesday and Wednesday were largely attended and of great in- terest. The new church proved to be an ideal place of meeting, and all the visitors were enthusiastic in their ap- of it and of the arrange ments generally that had been care- fully planned and were carried for ward with success. The work of the year on the whole was encouraging and the future full of promise. It is hoped that the result may be an in- creased interest in the local work of the church in all parts of the town.
 Late Saturday evening team driv- ing eastward over the Hill made a detour, driving in at Hillside, going the grain house and the barn, good whee1barrow standing there to splinters, continued on down through the garden sunfower- walk, over or through the gap in the stone fence and wandered about on the side hill for hours, not in silence, at last finding an exit on the Mansfield road. They left carriage cushion on the side hill, possibly as compensation for the wheelbarrow. And yet this is town and an ideal town.
 An episode of Friday and Satur- lay of last week was the coming to Addison D. Dimock's of his niece, Mrs. Grace Gould Hill, only daughter of the late Hannah Dimock Gould and her husband, Sullivan M. Hill. In her girlhood, as Grace Gould, Mrs. Hill frequently visited her relatives here, and she and her brother, Fred Gould, were pupils at the Connecticut Literary Institute, Suf1ield. Several years ago they moved from Moline, Ill.,, to Oleburne, Johnson county, Texas. Both are enthusiastic agri- and are in a country of great possibilities. They recognize that everything comes from the soil and that to feed the people is an ever existing problem, and that raising food is the occupation in which is the most money. They went to Texas to raise cotton, but only a short experi- ment with the native grasses de- termined them to turn the ranch into a vast hay field. Every season they ship thousands of tons of baled hay north, mostly to New York markets. They have blooded cattle, make but ter, raise hogs, sending cured and smoked pork north, have fancy poul- try, raise turkeys, live the outdoor life and are enthusiastic and happy. They called Saturday on relatives, taking in MT. and Mrs. Houchans, Hillside and Maple Corner, and Louis and sisters, South Wilmington. Mrs. Hattie Dimock Pierce of Provi- dence was fortunately with her father.

 With beautiful weather the eighty ninth annual session of the Ashford Baptist convention convened at the Clara Hall Elliott Memorial church the 23d for two-days' session. In point of numbers, interest and enthu- siasm the convention was an unquali- fled success, and it is doubtful if any previous convention has had more list of delegates, or a more helpful and inspiring gathering. About one hundred and twenty five delegates were in attendance at the forenoon session Tuesday. and this was somewhat augmented dur ing the afternoon. All assigned speakers were present, so that no change of program was required. As Is the custom, the exercises opened with devotional exercises, followed by an address of welcome by Rev. Earl w. Darrow and a response by Rev, Bertram O. Bugbee, after which in order came the adoption of rules, rec ports of comm ittees and appointment of other committees, the introduction 1F n xx, S,n Pou
