honorary member of II native and foreign

Then came forward Mr.. BIotton with the
doubt and cavilling peculiar to vulgar minds

been assured that the stone was indeed ancient.

Blotton was elected from the club. He wrote

pamphlets into all sorts Of languages. And"
the story concludes triumphantly. "to this day
the stone remains an illegibile monument Of
Mr.. Pickwicks greatness, and lasting trophy
to the httleness Of his enemies"
And now you can see how truth came to
parallel fiction when the anonymous West
Virginia joker got to work. This unknown and
unsung person read "Pickwick Papers" and
scratched an inscription very similar to Mr..
Pickwick's discovery on q scrap Of sandstone
less than two inches long. He used, however,
more complicated and obscure lettering than
Dickens had done.

FANS ENTHUSIASTIC
 OVER IN POMFRET
Turn Out in Large Numbers to Wit
 ness Sunday Baseball
(By T. Hanley)

Pom;ret had not played as many games of champion calibre as our Eastern League friends in our neigh boring metropolis but we venture to wager that the games played this sea son would be a credit to any team claiming honors greater then the Pomfret Town Team.
 Each position is played by local talent. the pitching staff includes Bill Murdoek of local fame. and Arthur Blackmore. a pomfret player who had a very successful career with the Manhassett team in past years. Foxy Farquhar" at the receiving end adds tower of strength to the team, especially with the stick, in a recent game Farquhar poled out long home run a triple and two singles at four times at bat. The initial sack is well taken care of by the capable Larry Hanley. at second we find Pat Don lon turning in his usual good game, in the absence of Charlie Maher. Buck Nelson has taken up the duties at third. at short stop the veteran Captain Mike Cotter Is playing a great game The outheld consist of Ed Farrell. Larry Kelley, Ellis Pritch- ard. Manager Tom Hanley and Art Bellrieve each taking their turn.
 The season opened Decoration Day with Dayville. Pomfret losing by the score of to 4. Sunday June Pom fret won from the Mohegan 4. C. of Webster to 6 count. Last Sun day the town team took the Oxford Town team into camp by the score of 2 10 2. Blackmore in good form and great support in the outheld by T. Hanley, Kelley. and Farrell held the Oxford boys 10 small score. Next Sunday the fans may look forward to thrilling afternoon when the liar risville Bremen of Harrisville, R. l. try to queneh the flaming Town Team.

service Rev Paul B. Sanger conduct ed the service. Music was by the Chaplin and North Windham ehoirs combined.
 Sunday afternoon the speaker and guest of the Chaplin Congregational church was the Rev. Dr. Patten of Madison. His discourse on the by namics and Democraeies of Religion was one of the outstanding features of the day, it is only occasionally that the privilege of hearing a real orator and gifted divine is granted and those present had a rare treat. The music by the children's choir was delight full and there was large attendance Other clergymen present were Rev. T Hawthorne Jones and Rev. Florence Jones, Rev. John Knott, Rev. W. E, Lanphear. Letters were read, for. warded by Rev. Mir. Smiley, Rev Harry Small and Rev. Grey D. Wing art.
