MATTERS INTERESTING WESTERLY Utica Man Presents Engraving of Governor Ward to Library —Major B. A. Babcock in Command of Battalion Drill Thursday—Thread Mill Employes’ Outing Arranged for Saturday—Funeral of Mrs. Abel F. Palmer. Thomas A. Proctor, of Utica, N. Y., has presented the Westerly Memorial and Library association, an_elegantly framed steel engraving of Hon. Sam- uel Ward, who was born May 17, 17 and died March 26, 1776, who was g0V~ ernor of Rhode Island and member of Colonial congress. Framed with the portrait is an autograph order which reads as follows: “Westerly, January 1. 1758—Pay un- to Captain Joseph Stanton thirty-five shillings, old tenor, for damage done to a gun of his in the late expeditior By order of the assembly. “SAM WARD, “To Thomas Richardson, Esq., gen- eral treasurer.” Governor Samuel Ward was born in Newport, second _son of Governor Richard Ward. He was educated in Newport and resided there until he was twenty vears of age, when he married Anna Ray, and removed t Westerly. He engaged in agricultur and mercantile pursuits and rose to prominence and wealth in Westerly he became well acqus ed with Benjamin Franklin, who e tablished a long correspondence with Samuel Ward's sister-in-law, Cath erine Ray. In rd was elected to the general assembly of Rhode Island and represented Wester] 11 1759, in 1753, he was one of the two delegates representing Rhode Island in the vention called at Hartford by the of Loundoun New iingland troops in tt war, and reported the proce the 'legislature of Rhode 1761, he was appointed ch the ‘colony, and in Mz holding this office, was cle In 1765 5 he was 1 and again in 176 tion of his third Governor Ward retumed to his in Westerly, where he remained tirement until he was called to legis- late for the whole country. In consequence of the oppress of the British minstry, Virginia Rhode Island took the lead in es lishing standing committees of corres- pondence and inquiry, in order to ob tain the earliest intelligence of all t members of the British government re- lating to America, and to co with similar committees in the other colonfes. Governor Ward hecame very active in this movemet. On February 3, 1774, he introduced a serles of res- olutions at a meeting of the town of Westerly, as chairman of the commit- tee of corzespondence, which fully re- cite the grievances of which the col- onfes complained, and urge resistance as the only them as freemen. Governor Ward presided as commit- tee of the whole in the Colonial con- gress in Philadelphfa, and until March 15, 1776, when he was obliged to leave the session by a violent sickness which proved to be small pox and he died of that disease, March 26. He was burfed in Philadelphia, and in 1860 the remains were removed to the family plot in the cemetery at Newport. His term of wife and daughter are buried in Week- apave. Westerly furnished two_governors of Rhode Island, Samuel Ward and George H. Utter, and both were of the Seventh Day Baptist denomination. While the police orders in regard to observance of traffic rules, in connec tion with the keep to the right silent | sentinels, have been generally observ- »d, still there was no ordinance touch- ing that point. Therefare, as no pen- sty was prescribed for violation of this rule, the police would be pow less to enforce the rule, should some unreasonable driver of an automobile or other vehicle ignore the rule and question the police authority for en- forcement. In order to prevent any such condition, a special meeting of the town council was held Thursday evening, at the request of Chief of Po- lice Brown, and an ordinance was adopted covering that special point ‘n the generally accepted traffic rule. The ordinance in regard to the silent sen- tinels, not only covers the compact part of the town, but all sections of tha town, which includes Watch _ Hill, Pleasant View, Weekapaug, White Rock, Potter Hill and Bradford. A | sentinel was placed at Watch Hill on Thursday, at the junction of Ninigret avenue and the Shore road. Major Bourdon A.

Related by the Some Haddam Clipper: time ago three painters were the inside of a house in fhe During the day these paint- ers began wishing for something to drink. ~Accordingly they put their heads together and the result of the conference was that the leader went to the mistressof the house and said: “The frames of your oil paintings are very dingy, ma'am. We'll clean them for you if'you've got any whisky.” “How much whisky will be needsd?” askcd the guileless old lady. “About 2 quart,” said the painter. So the old lady brought to the palnter a quart of whisky and they drank it and cleaned the plcture frames with water. On toward sunset the old lady coming to inspect the frames expressed herself as dellghted with them. "Oh” she sald, “they look beautiful. And'who'd have thought a quart of whiskeywould have cleaned so many. It was luclky I saved it.
