Lisbon, once more in the throes of revolution, has at least one strong link with England in the tomb of Henry Flelding. _The author of Tom Jones, says the Westminster Gazette, went 'to the Portuguese capital in search of health and failed to find it, dying there on October 4, 1754, and getiing a last resting piace in the English cemetery, where a monument has been erected to his memory. The vovage out took the sick man 50 days of foul weather, and the city, when he reached it, falled to please him. “All looked beautiful at a dis- tance,” he wrote, ‘but as _you ap- proacheq nearer all idea of beauty vanished.’ Couldn’t Fool Hobson.

The members of the Westerly His- torical eociety, under the direction of President Ethan Wilcox, enjoyed the third annual outing Wednesday and visited historic Wequetequock and Groton Heights, making the trip by electric car on the Groton-Stonington line. The party left Westerly at 9.15 and immediz upon arrival at Wequetequock station visited the an- cient Wequetequock metery, where the original white settlers of the town of Stonington are buried. Interesting exercises followed in the Wequetequock chapel, opening with the singing of America De. Jumna .

Mr. Lanphere used to hold _kitchen dances vears ago and flddled and called of the figures and the names of some of the dances, 00, when they failed to step in time. In conversation with W. P. Bindloss, of the borough, on a trolley Wednesda the veteran fiddler said: “Y W used to have some zay times in the old days, when dancing was danc- ing, and not a hugging match as is the case in the new fangled dances of today. I was down to Rocky Point in an automobile a little while ago, but there was such a darned crowd that I was afraid to get out of the ma chine.

On ‘the return trip a close lookout pre- vailed as the car reached the point, and the man was found prostrate across the rails. The car was stop- ped. Both conductor and motorman ordered the man to get up and move out of harm's way and he absolutely refused, claiming his right to stay there and have the car run over him and put him out of misery. He was lifted from the track, placed in the car and carried as far as Miner's coi ner where he got off. The man was intoxicated. He resides in Industrial place and works at the mill of the American Velvet company in Stoning- ton.

Walter Palmer came to Wequete- quock in 1652, For nine short years he lived here, till his death in 1661 Palmer was a man who held public office and seems to have been a strong character and a most dariog pioneer. He was 68 years old at death. Thomas Miner, the fourth one, came the same year ‘as Walter Palmer, namely, ‘in” 1 and is said to have built his house on the east side of Wequetequock cove; later he moved to Quiambog; in all he resided in Ston- ington 45 years and died at the age of 2 years. He was one of the organ- zers of the First Congregational church of Stonington and one of the first deacons. The average age of these four pio- neers was nearly 75 years. Mrs. Emma Critcherson, at the con- clusion of Dr. Weeks’ address, sang in finely trained soprano voice The Land- ing of the Pilgrims. Mother-Town, the poem read by Rev. Frederick Denison at the Palmer reunion in 1881, at Ston- ington, was read by Miss Jane Peck- ham. ~Then followed singing of the Battle Hymn of the Republic and in- strumental selections by Llovd Ken- neth, cornet, and Earl Leonard, violin.

It is inderstood that plans are being made to connect a tractor with the Hook and Ladder truck and when this is done Westerly will have a complete- 1y motorized fire department. In order to insure improved service with the hook and ladder truck, until the change s made, Chief Cottrell has contracted | with George Champlin & Son to furnish a horse for the truck and to be s to respond to fire hout any delay.

Not “Pi”, Mr. Printer, but P-I-E. It's the real old toothsome pie for you, too, when you get hold of LIBERTY tobacco. You're never mussed up when you've got LIBERTY. It’sarich, sweet, healthy smoke or chew; and the printer is glad of a chance to use printer’s ink to tell the rest of the world how good it is. LIBERTY Long Cut Tobacco is a prime favorite with printers and all live, hustling he-boys who know and like a smoke or a chew of real man’s tobacco. And LIBERTY is always the same—al- ways safisfying. We don’t let LIBERTY go out of the factory until it has been aged from three to five years, so that all the rich, mellow, nat- ural sweetness of its Kentucky leaf is atitsbest. When you're tobacco hungry, you want clean, honest juicy tobacco with some back- bone to it. You never see a LIBERTY user switch to some other brand. He knows nothing can compare with LIBERTY for downright tobacco satisfaction. A week’s trial of LIBERTY will prove this to you—will make you a permanent user of LIBERTY. ;LII%.ERTY Sold everywhere in 5c packages. ‘THE AMERICAN TOBACCO COMPANY ratch theizsmiles, LAIGHTON THE PHOTOGRAPHER Opposite Norwich Savings-Society PENDANTS BROOCHES BAR PINS BRACELETS Newest designs in Platinum and green gold.
