The first old parchment deed dated April 10, 1716 is from Josiah Wolcott, and Mary, his wife, of Salem, Mass.. to John Sablen and is for 400 or 500 acres in the center of the town and bounded by the royal grants.

Four sapling elms brought up on horseback from the old Windham dwelling house and two on the slope of the adjoining common. - Nurtured with care and pains they soon took root and flourished and for more than a hundred years have told the story of Lexington. True trees of Liberty, they haye grown up with the nation, and still stand in majestic beauty, living witnesses to the patriot- ism and devotion of the women of Windham County. When the first settlers of New Rox- bury, now Woodstock, came to that place, they remained for a few weeks in the first encampment until lots could be drawn for home lots, minist- er’s lot and school lots.

CHILDREN’S GARDEN WORK. Wonderful Progress Being Made—370 Young Farmers, Beating Out All Other Towns in the State. Under the direction of Warrea H. Sles, rden supervisor, the work in cmmn‘:'s garden; in tha thwn af { following for o S For Over Thirty Years CASTORIA THE CENTAUT BOMPANY, WEW YORR OITY. Plainfie’d is making an excellent shotw- ing. There are 370 children enguged in this work, which is 100. more than any other town In the state. Every child has been assigned a plot of ground and each plot is now planted. The children have shown remarkable interest and many people in town have given very practical proofs of the en- thuslasm "with which this work has béen taken up. The American Woolen Co., Bros. Co., through Mr. Cray, the Law ton Mills'Co., through Mr. Butterwortt the Wauregan Co., through Mr. At- wood, Floyd Cranska, Wilis Rouse, Miss Agnes Allen, Charles Hopkins and others have contributed land and labor toward providing all chudren with land ready prepared for planting. Many childrén have land of their own but nearly half of thé total number enrolled had to be provided with Jand. Acknowledegrept is also made to the res of land and for as- sistance rendered: Dr. W. W. Adams, Mr. Brouillard, E. H. Lillibridge, George Potvin, the Plainfield Woo'en Co.. the Central Worsted (‘o., Edward Hall and Rev. J. C. Mathieu of waure- gan. Father Mathieu has contributed an excellent plot of land and has given much personal attention to the work, the gardens on this plot being among the best in town. Rival Schools. Great interest is being taken by the children In the rural districts and there is keen rivalry between the chidren in the Black Hill and the Green Hollow sections of the town.' Thesp are the two sections which made &u’h an ex- celient showing at the exhibi-ion held in the town hall last October, and with the progress now being made by these children, the other parts of the town will have to work hard to excel: them. In connection with the work each chfld is provided with an excellent record book In which, as part of his duties, all expenditures and all receipts from the gardens must be carefully accounted for. At the close of the season each child will write a réport and a story of the work he has done and the resuits accomplished. Parents can help greatly by se to it that their children keep the account books correctly and by encouraging the chil- dren to persevere when weeds grow fast and the sun is hot. It is impcs: ble. for one man to cover the whole town eévery day, and children need en- couragemént every aa ery one through Mr. Emerson, the Aldrich, who gives encouragement to the dren is alding In the work Big Canning Ciub.
