Hinckley of the Ston- Ington probate court to the su]wrlgx“ court for New London county on the first Tuesday in October, 1914. The matter appealed from is allowance of the account of James E. Lord, execu- lor of the will of Mary E. Holmes, late of Stonington, in which he showed the doings of Mary E. Holmes as ex- rcutor of the will of her father, Eras- tus Holmes, who died in 1881. Mrs. Holmes qualified as executrix and dur- ing the 30 years prior to her death neglected to give any account of her stewardship. & [Perkins of Norwich are counsel for Mr, Lord.

The i rom 1857 to 1910 is covered by rolumes and will be a valued acquisi- tion;, locally, to Arnold’s Vital Records, hat covers these matters to the year 1850.

CANDIDATE FOR SENATOR. Judge Charles O. Thempson, of Pom- fret Secks Republican Nomination. Judge Charles O. Thompson of the probate court of Pomfret is a candi- date for the republican nomination for senator from the Twenty-ninth dis- trict.

The judge is a aualified legislator, having represented his home town in the state legislature, ithe last Ume during the session of 1911 as house chairman of he commit- tee on public health and safety. Fa- miliar with probate court procedure, he has previously endeavored to bring about simendments to probate laws that would allow of settling estate at much less expense than is now possible and it is to bring his endeavors along this line to fruition that his friends desire to return him to Hartford, this time as a member of the incoming renate.

Sizing up how a man votes on the license gues- tion in Killingly is not as easy as it may appear, in fact, it is not easy at all but very hard.
