The funeral of o. G. Green II
Quadic district on Sunday was hello
at his former home where he had re.
sided continuously for about fifty
years. During these years he figured
quite prominently in the business OF
moving buildings. He was possessed
by nature of one of the most desirable
qualities one could have. namely. TAX
ing conditions as they exist, and ap-
parently never fretting or crossing q
bridge before he came to it. Some of
the accidents which would seem 10
give cause for despair and discourage.
ment came in his pathway in life. in
which he seemed to bear up under
with the greatest of patience. are
known to your correspondent. in
which he evidenced great fortitude in
two of them. One was a fall from the
roof of house he had moved from
Eastford to Putnam for Mr.. Burn
ham, a shoe manufacturer, breaking
both of his wrists. At another time
while walking on the railroad track
between Putnam and Pomfret where
he was engaged about his occupation.
he was caught between two trains
passing in opposite directions, which
must have been quite confusing. but
amidst it all he put his hand up to save
his hat from being blown off his head
when his elbow came in contact with
IF Of ha
juring him quite badly, and from
which he never fully recovered the
use of one arm.
At the time when the improvements
were being made in the manufacture
ing plant of the Grosvenor- Dale Com
pany in 1896, Mr.. Green contracted to
move two of the brick two tenement
houses that stood in the way, which,
with the assistance of his son Benja-
min, was accomplished, and stand to-
coupled with that degree of patience
necessary for so great an undertake
ing.
Mr.. Green united with the Congre-
gational church in Thompson. His
wife, who was Miss Harriet Green, re-
uniting at the same time, in 1892, it
j having been the church home of Mrs.
Green's parents, Samuel P. and Sarah
E. Green, who united with the church
under the passionate of Rev. Andrew
j Dunning in 1853, her other sisters,
Galpha, Emily and Lucy, uniting with
her at the same time. She died in
1853. A son, Chauncey, of Provi-
dence, is still on the roll of member
ship of the church, who with his
mother, represents family once
prominently connected with the
church nearly seventy years ago.

BOYS STEAL AUTO KEYS

Anew kind of thief is the auto key
thief. Several automobile owners
have been disconnected recently by
having the keys of their cars disap-
pear.
Among those who found their keys
missing, and were unable to start
their cars for while, was F. S. Bruce.
Three REQ trucks drove into the gar
age late Monday afternoon. A call
came for another job and when the
driver went to start the car he found
the key missing. 1t was the same in
all three trucks,
Somehow suspicion pointed to some
boys and Captain Bulger was notified
and the youngsters were rounded up
They at first denied having any keys
but when their pockets were turned
inside out key was found. The lads
then admitted that they had taken
other keys but had lost them. They
were allowed to go after they were
given talking to.

Petrels Clash With Wildcats
 For First Time
Georgia Eleven Has One More Battle Before Game With
 the PIainSmen
R~ CAREY ". WILLIAMS

Athens, Ga, October IT, Especial. With three foes vanquished and their scalps
 dangling from their belts, the
 Georgia Wildcats go to the Gate
 City of the Southland Saturday
 and battle the Oglethorpe Pc trels at Poncy park.
 Georgia defeated Citadel. South Car olina and Furman with very little ease ard the Red and Black machine will undoubtedly trample Coach logger hl- cocks Petrels Saturday. The Wildcats are looking for a good game from the Atlanta institution, however The football fans of Atlanta and Vi cinity will have an opportunity 10 see the Wildcat machine in action Tn tnelr own back yard, and to compare It With the other representative southern elevens.
 In all probability Coach Stegeman will use bunch of his reserves in the Cglethorpe- Georgia game. as the hea and Black eleven clashes with the Au- burn Tigers the following Saturday m Columbus. and the Georgia coach VIII not want to run the risk of having any of his prizes entered on the injured llst. Georgia and Oglethorpe are meeting on the gridiron this year for the firss time. These two schools have been playing baseball several years. OLD GEORGIA STARS Frank Anderson, assistant coach or the Petrels and athletic director at Cglethorpe, is an old Georgia star. The old timers still talk about his wonder : ful pitching while wearing Red and
 Black uniform. and how he won game in the ninth inning by clouting the pill for home run with the bases loaded Coach Anderson has host ot friends among the Georgia student body and in Athens.
 Simpson the Petrel star tackle, was the star receiver on the Georgia nins several years ago and the husky for ward will be battling against his ror- mer college mates.
 There are several men on both teams that have been former am-mates on prep elevens or have met before while wearing the spangles of some high school or prep team.
 Capt Johnny Knox. the Ogiethorpe wizard. will probably give the Wild cat eleven more worry than any other petrel. Knox Is classy football play : CT and has been mentioned by many sport writers in picking their all- southern teams.
 JACK FROST IN TRIM All of the Georgia men who have been on the injured list are now in tip top condition. Jack Frost. the power ful fullback, will be in trim for the Oglethorpe fracas Frost has been on the shelf since the opening of the sea son, nursing an injured knee vandi- yer and Whelchell have been m the | lineup for a week or two, and have added considerable strength to the Georgia line.

ALBERTvlLLE ROMPS

ATbertville, October 17.-(Special p-AI- bertville Aggies defeated the heavy Saints Saturday here. 2s to O.
 The Saints showed up well and played under old coaches, but the fast Albert vile line ran through the visiting back team for severe loss time and again. The Albertville back field. Gaines, Curby, Booser and Curry, all showed mid-sea- son form and end runs by Curby and Booser and line plunges by Gaines, fea- tured the game. Levy and Bonner were the visitors best. The Aggies haven't been scored upon. and she challenges any team in the state out for the high school championship. The Aggies meet Bessemer High in Birmingham November for what will probably decide the state title

original guards. remain in the lineup. and Brayton seems to have the preference over Horrell at Center.
 Carey remains at quarterback and Jewett at fullback, but Kaw and Liv- ingston. two fast, hard-running half ba cks have first call now, whereas ear- Her in the year Bosworth and Mayer were favored. Mayer has been off form in recent weeks, but is expected to be in the lineup again shortly either at half back as fullback. Bosworth, a half- back, and Baugher, hard-hiffing fuli- back, are other useful men, It is Dobies policy to develop a string of capable backs, so that the Cornell attack will not be slowed down if for any reason any man is compelled to stay out of the game.
 A significant feature in connection with the personnel of the varsity team is that not first varsity letter man from last year is sure of a place, and the only last years players who may appear in the varsity lineup are Finn at end, Knauss at tackle, Pendelton at guard and Mayer in the back field.

 Coach Stegeman has been giving his team all the scrimmaging necessary.
