| --other interesting Items. Stonington Historical and Geneo- I logical society is to institute a cam tpaign at once for the raising of a | fund for the purchase of a building | las home for the society and a stor- age for its treasurers, or to erect al new building for this purpose While | ] it is not anticipated that sufficient | money can be gotten together within ' the next few months, it is hoped that | l it will be possible to make considera- ble progress toward this end during the latter part of the summer and 1 early fall. The exhibition now being held at Ryon's hall has done a great deal to attract attention to the socie- < ty and now Is the time. it is consid- 1 cred, to start the campaign for rais- ing funds. It is expected that the receipts from admittance to the exhi- \ bition. after defraying all expenses, N will make a substantial start toward the necessary fund, and other ways and means of raising money will be | considered at the next meeting of the society. The success of the exhibi- I tion has thus far exceeded the most sanguine expectations. Not only has the exhibition been se1f-suporting, l notwithstanding considerable expense attached, but 1t has been the means . of aiding several valuable and price less relics as the permanent property of the society. A town wide interest in the aims and purposes of the socie- ty has been created, and from intinma- tions made from various parts of the town it is to be expected that there will be donations of several more val uable relics and souvenirs for the col lection. The postponed meeting of the society will be held Tuesday evening at S.30 o'clock in the library A full attendance is desired as there is con- siderable important business to be dis cussed.
