There is one of these deeds signed by Isaac Lawrence to Negro Lon granting him his full freedom in return for his faithful services granted. ,
 There was a post route established between Canaan and Hartford Tn 1884. The postman scheduled to leave Canaan Wednesday A. M. ar rive in Hartford Thursday A. M. Re turning leave Hartford Friday l r. M. arriving at Canaan Saturday P. M.
 Marketing was done along the route, butter, eggs, poultry, pork and various products of the farmers were sent by the postman. In then season the postman was expected tc carry shad, lemons, figs and various other fruits quite outdoing the par eel post system of the present tune.
 Newspapers were delivered to the subscribers along the route, also soll to anyone wishing to purchase. A this time the C0urant and the Ilme' were the leading newspapers pub lished. The coming of the postmai was signaled by a blast of the horl or bugle, but he did not stop unles something was to be delivered. On Monday the postman drove to Sal isbury returning by the way of Fall Village on Tuesday he drove to Asn ley Falls, Clayton, Mill River an

 The speedy Torrington Indepen- dents broke Canaan's string of vic tories on Saturday afternoon by capturing a close game by the scGTe of 3-2. The locals stung Folk for ten hits but lacked the punch in the pinches. Burnell was hit hard vt critical times, Torrington punching hits in the third, fourth and fifth frames for their tallies.
 Canaan got the jump on the Rain
 Makers" by showing across run in
 the second inning. Scott was safe
 on BrazilPs rank error and scored
 on singles by Meade and Burnell.
 These two were stranded on the
 sacks as Fraleigh and Baldwin rolled
 weakly to the infield.
 The Independents tied it up in the
 third on consecutive hits after two were out. Hank Stengel singled to center and took third on Brazills s liner to left. Frank Stengel then
 poked one to left and Hank scored. Brazil attempted to score also, but Fraleigh's perfect peg to Ryan caught him at the platter. | In the home half of the same ses- [ sion Canaan forged ahead again. Fenn Minacci singled to left and held first as Gogalo made neat catch Of Rvan's liner. Hubby singled to left and Fenn reached third. l. Minacci l was out at first. F. Stengel fumbled l Scott's roller and Minacci scored. ? On an attempted double steal Hubby 7 was caught at the plate. Richards tied the score all by him self in the next inning when he tripled to deep right and scored on Hovsardt's sacrifice fly. Williams then doubled to right but was left on
 second as Fraleigh made a specta- p cular catch of Herbick's looper over V second and Folk famed. .. The Stengel family won the ball game in the fifth frame. With one = out, Hank singled past second. Bra s gill died at first but FrSnkie scored Hanky with a two base smash over Fraleigh's head.
 By some fast running, Fraleigh got three-bagger in the sixth with :, two gone, but Baldwin was easy for p Brazill. Scott tried to start rally :. in the eighth when he opened with , liner to right, but the next three
 batters supplied fun for Gogalo and
