NIIlSWO1Q IS SIdl1C4l4 LO ACo1AA tA@e@e | her sister town of Lisbon has a can- didate for nomination to represent | the twentieth (Shoestringl district as state senator. F. D. Ballou at the | insistence of his many supporters up | and down the line, has declared him | self willing to accept the nomination | if offered. The favorable conditions | existing for MT.

First the town | of Lisbon is well deserving of. and entitled to member in the state sen ate Mr. Ballon is in every way equipped to administer the best there is to be gained from the high stand point of so important an office. He is a straightaway, up date business man, and his political opinions have been reached as the result of becom ing thoroughly acquainted with the political and economic conditions of his state.
 The towns included in the Twen tieth district are Bozrah, Colchester East Lyme, Franklin, Griswold, Leb- l anon, Lisbon. Lyme, Montyiile, North Stonington, Old Lyme. Salem, | Spragues Stonington, Voluntown and 1 Waterford. M
 Mr. Phillips book tells the follow ing story of the Cook cemetery:
 This cemetery is found on what is l Known as the Barton Kegwin farm, in G1asgo. More than two hundred years ago Stephen Cook of Newtown, in the lscolony of Massachusetts, took up land Lin that part of Preston now known as 1 G1asgo, in Griswold.
 Il In TAI the owners of the water Il power on the Pachaug river at this Il point, one of whom was Rev. Heze- kiah Lord, the minister of the par ish, offered to John Cook flor the pur- \ pose Of incurrigement of the setting up of a fulling milI' the privilege of H drawing water out of the pond need \ ful for a mill, provided that he build | one for that purpose; and so John | Cook set up a fulling mill; but the main business of the Cooks was | farming.
 Here and in this vicinity the Cooks lived and thrived and multiplied, and it is said that they owned more negro
 slaves than any other family in North Preston. They seem to have been good citizens, and one Burton Cook
 served as lieutenant in the Revolu- tionary war.
 About 1733, or probably before that
 date, the small plot of ground down
 near the rivers brink, and little
 distance south of the present farm
 house, was~set apart for a family
 burial place.
 Fifty one graves have been counted here. and of these, thirty -one are
 marked by stones bearing inscrip-
 tions. The quaintness of the cpl taphs, the superior quality of the monuments and the manifest evi- dences of neglect and decay, attract ' the attention of those who visit this Fl cluster of graves. Even the fence I which enclosed it has disappeared. Nc
 btsrials have been made here for forty | years.
