THOMPSON TOWN TOPICS

| The justice court has been busy
this week, compared with previous
like periods. A criminal case Of intox-
F, ication and breach of the peace COM
ing from the eastern section of the
town was tried on Wednesday, and a
civil case where the shooting of dog
/ belonging to local hunter and killing
J it, on Saturday, was tried before JUS
time X. H. Chandler. Damage of 500
was given by the court in the latter
case. The parties were from the Will
sorville district.
In the death of William Pratt of
Putnam, an incident in his early life
in Thompson has been brought to
mind and mention of it made by sew
eral Of our residents who speak in re-
membrance of it that Mr.. Pratt on a
WAGER sawed ten cords of clab wood
four feet long twice in two in a day.
that it is not remembered, but think it
was day of ten hours length, feat
in the labor line that would hardly be
attempted by anyone in these days of
portable wood saving machinery. The
wood was sawed for Stephen Crosby,
who owned and kept the Vernon Stiles
Inn.
Mr.. and Mrs. Haines of Wolf Den
Grange, duly appointed installing off,
GERS to install the officers Of Quinna-
tisset Grange, were present on Tues
day evening and performed those du-
/ ties in a very ficient and impressive
manner. The new officers Of the
Grange for 1921 have the encourage
ment Of q successful year before them,

dition as regards to an attending men,

better balance than it did one year
ago. A collation. consisting Of coffee,
cake and dainty cookies was served at
the close of the installation exercises.
| Before the Baptist church building
was burned down and the two church
es held suppers and entertainments,
/ the two societies were reputed IN all
of their efforts to please to excel in
doing everything attempted OF a So
cial nature. But the supper held in
the Congregational vestry was really
an evidence of the saying, "in union
there is strength" for it will be diifi-
cult for any Of the older residents OF
/ Thompson village to center their
