Zion and Baptists May Com- bine, Will the dozen or sixteen members of the A. M. E. Zion church of which Rev. Mr. Robinson is the pastor, give up the organlzation of the colored Methodist church in Wilimantic and join the colored Baptist church of this city of which Rev. Mr. Grimsted is the supplying minister? That is the question being seriously considered by the colored Methodists of Williman- tic. Rev. Mr. Grimsted, pastor of the colored Baptist church, was formerly minister of the Willimantic A. M. E. Zion church and is popular with a number of the members of that church who have left the A. M. E. Zion fold to become affiliated with the colored Baptists. The members of both church. es think the colored constituency— about 100 including children—is only large enough to support one colored church in Willimantic. Some of the A M. E. Zion church members object to a substantial amount of the collec- tions being used for the support of the conference. They contend that under the Baptist form of church govern- ment all their financial support would be used for the maintenance of the i sor, Tuesday, .a large delegation l,t tending. The session was made meeting of the D. A. R, regents ot the state. LAX TAX GATHERING Citizens Suspicious That 1912 List Was Merely Copied from List of 1911, That there was not for the year 1912 a systematic correct house-to- house enumeration made in this town to secure a correct list of those liable to pay a personal tax is believed by many citizens. From an examination of the list made by one citizen who is conversant with the situation, the in- vestigator stated he believed the per- sonal tax list for 1912 was practically copied from the 1911 list,-that persons known to have died or to have re- moved from town were eliminated and such additions were made as came to the minds of those who made up the 1912 list. Citizens think the se- lectmen ought to verify the list for which the enumerator received sub- stantial compensation as well as the ;mpaid personal taxes on the previous ist. FUNERAL. John E. Whitford, The funeral of John Edwin Whit- ford was held from his home in Chap- lin Tuesday forenoon and was large- ly attended. Rev. W. C. Chappell of the Montville Baptist church officiated. The burial, in charge of Undertaker Jay Shepard, of this city, was in the Willimantic cemetery. Taxes Promptly Paid, City Tax Collector W. A. Costello received about $1100 of the city taxes Monday, the first day of the collec- tion. A. W. Turner was the first tax- payer to remit his city tax. local church.
