BALLOUVILLE

Mrs. Thomas Allshaw received word by telephone Saturday that her moth- CT had died in Eastford She has been i4l a long time and her death was not unexpected
 A very interesting game was played Saturday afternoon on the local base ball grounds. The Ballou boys tackled the Ashland No. ? boys of Jewett City, who had the fine record of winning 20 straight games this season, yet the local nine outstripped them this time, but not until the seventh inning. Both teams scored a run in the third In the first half of the seventh the visit ors scored a run. but the Ballouville lads scored three in the last half of the same inning. Ballou won to 2. Next Saturday afternoon the BaIlou boys are to tackle for the third time this season the Manhansets of Putnam. Each team has won a game. It is probable this may be the concluding game of the season on the home grounds, unless the boys arrange an- other among themselves, On the whole excellent games have been enjoyed throughout the summer The absence of so many in U. s. service has lessen ed tn eattendance. Appreciation is due Postmaster J., l.. Pray for his interest ln giving all clean, manly athletics on the well kept field so prettily lo- cated on the banks of Five Mile river. The nine this season was composed of young men from both Ballouville and Attawaugan, and they have developed into fine team. |.

 Rev. W. D. Woodward arranged for special rally day gathering at the AttaWaugan Methodist church Sunday morning. Probably no other church in the conference had the unique priyi- lege this church enjoyed in having present as speakers two laymen who were instrumental in founding the sunday school and forming the church society about a half century ago. The principal speaker was Deacon AIbert C. Greene of the Westfield Congrega- tlonal church, -Danielson, just entering hls 9Oth year, yet alert of mind and strong of voice. MT. Greene ran the BalIouville store five years. He gave interesting "reminiscences of those early days prior to the building of the church in 1870 by the late Henry B. Norton and Lorenzo D. Blackstone of NorWlch, the proprietors of the Alta Waugan company's mills in this vicin- ny. He gave great credit to Horatio A, Brown of Putnam, who founded the sunday school and was instrumental Tn persuading the mill owners to build the church. Mr. Brown was present at the rally day service last year and gave an excellent tale of his experi- ences which appeared in The Bulletin. lie was also present last Sunday and made a few remarks at the cloee of Deacon Greene's words. The pastor considered it fine exhibition of Christian brotherliness of half a hun dred years ago that a Congreg egatianaI- lst and Baptist should unite in form ing Methodist society, as there were many more Methodists than others here at that time. At the pastors suggestion, green" and "brown'' were adopted by vote as the church colors. He read the scripture lesson from Bible presented Mir. Greene at the time of his leaving the school Dur Ing the service an anthem was sung by Misses Margaret and Florence Scott and Dorothy Howard. There were two offertories. as there was
