Following the devo- tions the flag will be blessed by Rev. William A. Keefe, with Miss Isabelle Flynn and Theodore Dayon as spon- sors.
 After the devotions at St. Johns church the following regulations at the flag raising ceremony will be fol- lowed:

A tribute of respect and apprecia- tion of a worthy citizen
 I think the sudden sdeath of John Doige of Piainfield is deserving of more than a passing notice. He was born in Slaterville, R. l., but came to live in Plainfield when years old and that has been his home ever since. As a child he attended the White Hall school near his home, later the Plain field academy, and afterwards Yale Business college. He learned the ma chinist trade in Putnam but decided his marriage with Miss Lotta Lester he was a conductor.
 His health not being very good, he bought a farm on Plainfield street. When the Lawton company built their large mill there the Dodge farm was

Pauper,s Sensational Charge.

The case of the town of Chaplin vs. the town of Bloomfield was then taken up. This case was tried in this city in November, 1915, but the case was dropped, as an error was made in the name of the pauper, about whom the case came about. Edward A. Copeland, the~pauper about whom the triad is over, was the first to take the stand and his testimony was of a startling nature. Copeland testified that he was hired by the town of Chaplin to go back to the other town to live after the other case had been dropped For this service, which would be cause t. bring in another case, he was paid s a week and $15 for furniture. The witness stated that the town of Ash ford was mixed up in the affair and he thought that some of his support was contributed by the authorities of that town. Witness expressed a desire that the town of Chaplin get the worst of the verdict of the court, as they had not treated him fairly. Copeland stat ed that Seltctman B. E. Welch had stated upon leaving the court at the time of the previous case that he would give $100 to win the case.
 Many other witnesses were examined by the counsel for the plaintiff during the afternoon. Shortly after o'clock court adjourned until next Tuesday
