EWETCTTY

It is matter of conjecture how many GriSWold residents would know of this ancient burying ground until they read this story from MT. Phil lips book:
 Spy Rock Cemetery-About mile northeast of the Pachaug river, at Hopevi1le, and near the residence of Elmer c. Starkweather, the hill known as Spy Rock rises from the river plain to height of 96O feet above the level of the sea. Its steep trees and bushes, makes the ascent difficult, but when the crest is once attained a delightful view spreads out to the south and east.
 As one turns from the landscape to the opposite direction, if he is keen eyed, he will discover in the thicket, few feet away, few stone slabs standing as if set up by the hand of man; a closer inspection discloses an ancient burying ground of a forgotten people. Thirty graves can still be made out; the stones which mark them are for the most part without inscriptions; and only one, that which bears the name of Winter Green, is easily decipherable at present.
 Some years ago careful eXamina- ton disclosed five stones with in- scriptions, the oldest of which bears the date 17S4.
 A comparison of ancient record: with these inscriptions shows that this was the burial place of the Ben , nettS and Greens who early inhab- ited the farm of which Spy Rock wa. then part. And that that martyr soldier of the Revolution, Calet Green, whose name is inscribed or the bronze tablet of the monument i in front of the Pachaug church. was the son of Winter Green, who is bur. jed here. Upon the ancient stone appear these words:
 In memory of MT. Winter Green who died Nov. 27th. 1909, in the 76tl year of his age.

STONINGTON

There will be a borough meeting, March IS, to levy the anuai borough tax and to take action upon a petition of The Atwood Machine company, which sets forth that the company is owner of certain real estate in the borough the first parcel known as the Gates dock on the west side of Water street and that said property has an alleged public way or travelled way at one time known as the Town landing" which travelled way extends from Water street to Stonington har
 Dor; that the land lying on each side of said travelled way, and so-called public landing is owned by the peti- tioner.
 Second: That petitioner owns other real estate in that locality known as the 'Morecroft dock property" over
 which real estate it is alleged that a
 travel way or open way leads from
 Water street on the east to the wa ters of Stonington harbor on the
 west; that petitioner owns the prop erty on the north and south of said alleged passageay; said alleged pas sage way or travelled way is about 20 feet wide.
 Third: Petitioner further represents that said open ways are no longer re- quired as a public convenience or necessity; that the purposes for which they were laid out and established no longer exist. and that the discon- tinuance of said open ways by your Honorable Warden and Board of Burgesses would prove a mutual bene- fit to the borough and your petitioner, and petitioner agrees to care for, i7n-
 prove and enlarge the same toward the harbor to protect the rights of sewerage and surface water and ex-
 tend the same. Whereupon the peti- tioner prays that the warden and the
 board of burgesses take such action as by vote or otherwise will discon- tinue said two open ways in such
 manner as they may deem proper. John. H. Burns, 31, resident of l Stonington, died Friday in Texas, where he was in service in the reg ular army.

There will probably be-a special town election to elect member of the town council to succeed the late Charles G. Craig who was erelected last November, the term being for two years. Prior to that town coun- cilmen were elected for one year, and there have been terms when there have been vacancies, practically for the full term. Several years ago D. Harold Rogers was elected a member of the council but could not qualify. He had failed to register, was not qualified to vote at the election where he was candidate and there fore not qualified to serve as coun- cilman. During that year the coun- cil consisted of six members. In the world war, while Frank Larkin was an ensign in the navy. He was re- member of the council, he served as nominated and reelected with full knowledge that he could not serve, and again, the town affairs were maiaged by six councilmen, instead of the regular seven.
 With the terms of office changed
 fro none to two years, conditions are also changed and it is not believed the council will continue without its full membership. Therefore it is ex- pected a call will soon be issued foI a special election to choose a suc-
 cessor to the late Councilman Craig.

The way to all things at Ginning lies
through the moon door. And through
the moon door on the way to wisdom
pass and repass, every day, the 10
Chinese maidens of the "gung-gwan."
The moon door at Chilling is round
as the full moon, whence it has its
name. And the Chinese maiden, as
she steps over its high sill, may spread
wide her arms and still not touch its
rim with the tips of her fingers.
Sometimes across the court yard IS
another moon door, and beyond 1t, like
a smaller concentric circle, still an.
other, leading on through that Chinese
puzzle of house, the "gung-gwan" or
official residence at Marking, China,
which is now the home Of Chilling Col
lege for Chinese girls-one of the
three women's colleges in all China.
The moon door is but single fea-
ture of the old place. Once inside the
high stone walls that enclose it one Is
lost in a maze Of courts and galleries
and covered passages and isolated
rooms.
The whole is China, old China and
new. The moon doors and the archi.
lecture as a whole lend the dignity
and the greatness Of old China. But
the laboratories and dormitories, libra
ries and studies made from the old
rooms of state and ceremony are mod
ern; just as the force of America is
behind It all, represented by the FIVE
