MT. and Mrs. Fred Young, formerly
 of Rockville, have moved to Stafford
 and are making their home with Mrs.
 Young's father, H. O. Butterfield.
 The young men who have become
 twenty one years of age during the past year seem slow in registering as
 voters in the town. Perhaps they do
 not realize that if they register them
 selves before the first of next October
 they will be permitted to vote in the
 November elections. All young man
 of the proper age has to do is to give
 his name to the registrars.
 | The Foresters team from Spring l field will be Stafford's opponents Sat
 urday afternoon in Hyde Park. On | Sunday afternoon the Red Men of the
 same city will send down a fast team l for a battle in Keefe's Plains. That the Red Men have a fast team is shown by the fact that they are lead ! ing the other Springfield organizations in a race for cup which has been
 running for the past few weeks. AS soon as the sale which he is now
 running is completed, Joseph Wasser-
 man plans to occupy the apartment he
 has recently prepared on the second
 floor of the building in which he is now located. This new room will con-
 tain ladies' and children's wearing ap-

 for dry goods, hosiery and the like
 Several alterations and improvements
 are to be made on the lower floor.
 Henry Butterfield was confined to his home on school street part of this
 week, horse having kicked him in the solar plexus early in the week. The accident occurred Monday morn ing in the Springs cemetery. The reins had fallen beneath the horses feet and MT. Butterfield tried to re- cover them, when the horse suddenly kicked him. He became paralyzed, un- able to move or speak, and was taken to his home where he soon recovered his faculties. He was able to return to his work yesterday morning.

The carding machines which l formerly occupied this part of the | mill have been moved into the lower | part of the recently finished addition | Part of the finishing department, | which was located in the one story | building south of the addition has | been moved into the fourth story of | the brick mill.

 Strazza Post expects to be able to present every soldier in town with a Congressional Medal by Armistice | Day, Nov. Il. Every one who served as a soldier during the recent war is entitled to one of these medals, but in order to receive one he must fill out | a certain form. In order to aid the boys in filling out these blanks the post will have a notary public and one of two stenographers in the rooms on Saturday afternoon and on Monday evening. Any ex-soldier who will come to the rooms at that time and | bring his discharge paper with him can make sure of receiving one of the medals.
 Ten to three. a sad defeat, was the result of Saturdays game played in on little diamond by the 'oad side. The real reason for the Iefeat was that the umpire was disas- erously inefficient, Stafford's disas- CT. of course. The sadness came in then one of Stafford's players lost lterest in the game because the ( mpire was such a weak one. Many t -ho saw the game regarded the play g r's falling into this state as the same | hing as lying down on the job.
