Jefferson once delighted hundreds by
his portrayal of the character OF Kip
Van Wrinkle. another theater destroy
ed by fire, and the third closed by an
order Of the Kansas fire commissioners.
Atchison with $4,000 people. is said
to be the largest city In the United
States where there is not even stage
on which q one-two-three company
can produce plays.
Atchison people will be required to
depend this winter on the movies
for their amusement. All this despite
the fact that the town is SO situated
that in the past It has drawn many a
good attraction from st. Joseph and
Kansas City.
For a town its size Atchison has q
glorious theatrical past. Joe Jeffer-
son has played here. So have Fay
Templeton, Mansfield, Weber and
Fields, and Peter Daily, along with
many others whose names are carved
well up toward the top rung of the
Thespian ladder. But the theatrical
present and future are dark, indeed,
and there seems to be no silver or
other bright colored lining to the
cloud.
Since 1912 the city has built
churches valued at $4,000, erected a
fine new high school building, paved
miles of streets, and made many 9TH
er improvements. But no one has
undertaken the erection of a theater
that will comply with present fire pre-
vention laws in this state.

Rocks County Wheat Conditions.
The wheat acreage in RI oks county
is about 200.0 acres, and is claimed
there is not a poor acre in the county.
W. HI. Adams, one of the big land
men of the county, who lives in Plain
VILE, says that the present condition of
the soil for moisture indicate a big
wheat crop next year. The ideal con-
dition of the ground at this time OF
year has never failed to produce big
crop during the years following. The
demand for more lands indicate that
many of the farmers want to rent more
lands for the spring crops. Hundreds
of acres could be rented If they could
be found.
Plainville is situated in the famous
Paradise Flats country. It Is one Of
the biggest wheat growing sections in
the wheat belt. Fine farm houses big

FINED; MOVES HOUSE
Captain Pote Hailed to Court for
Sailing on Sunday.
House Built IT'S Years Ago at VOLTS
Neck by Mariner Who Transports
ed Building From Falmouth
Foreslde on His Vessel.


Boston.-Few houses have a more
interesting history than the old
Greenfield Pote house at VOLTS Neck,
now owned and occupied by Evans C.
Banks.
The house was originally built at
Falmouth Foreside by Capt. Greenfield
Pote,.a well-to-do mariner. Just when
the house was built nobody knows,
but it must have been fully It's years
ago, as In 1862 Captain Pote had been
living at Falmouth Foreside for many
years and was quite prominent In the
town.
In 1862 Captain Pote had brought
the ship to his home port while he
spent few days with his family
When the date came for his dopar-
ture there was no wind and his sail
ing was delayed. For week the
ship lay becalmed and Captain Pote
began to get uneasy, as every days
delay in starting was costing him
good money. Finally on Sunday
good sailing breeze sprang up and
Captain Pote summoned his crew and
put to sea.
He was gone for many weeks, but
upon his return he was arrested by
a constable and brought into court.
The old Puritanical Sabbath laws for
bid mariners to leave port on the
Sabbath, and during his absence one
Of his neighbors, who evidently had
a grudge Of some kind against the sea
captain, had entered a protest against
his wicked violation of the Lords day.
In court Captain Pote attempted to
justify his action by the long delay
that had been occasioned by the calm,
but the presiding justice would listen
to no excuses and imposed large
fine upon the angry mariner.
So angry did the captain become
with the town and its inhabitants that
he vowed that he would leave 1t,
never to return, and that he would
take all his possessions with him. He
straightway proceeded to tear down
the house and loaded that and all his
other possessions on board his vessel
and transported the property to
VOLTS neck, where the house was set
up in a slightly location overlooking
the sea. At that time Freeport was
part of the old town Of North Var
mouth.
In locating his house on VOLTS
Neck Captain Pote made one serious
mistake. He failed to study the lay
of the land sufficiently to determine
Carroll County democrat. (Huntingdon, Tenn.) 188?-1971, 1913-01-24

where the road would be laid out, and
when road was finally built it passed
the back Of the house, instead Of the
front This necessitated changing the
interior OF the house. sufficiently to
give a front door at the back Of the
house.
Here on VOLTS Neck Captain Pote
lived until his death, Sept. 20, 1877.
On the hill which rises short dis
lance west of the house he was bur
led. His gravestone shows that he
was born in May, 1885, and that he
married Jane Grant in 1858.
He was the father OF several chill
dren, to one Of whom, William Pote,
the property passed upon his death.
Another son went to sea In the priva-
teer Dash, which was built and fitted
out by Freeport people. The priva-
teer left Freeport just before big
storm and was never heard from aft.
erward. AS years went by the num-
Der OF graves in the cemetery increas-
ed and finally the property passed out
of the Pote family.
In 1855 Samuel Banks Of Saco NOV
ed to Freeport and was SO well pleas
ed with the location of the property
that he purchased it. The property
has since been in the Banks family,
its present owner, Evans C. Banks,
being the son Of Samuel.
A feature Of the house is the big
cellar, the entrance to which is on
the south side Of the house, just tt
one side Of the front door.
