Newspapers
On March 12, 1859, Amos Watrous, a bookseller at No. 6 Wolfe's Building (Floral Hall) Mystic, issued the first num- ber of the "Mystic Pioneer," which he stated, in this first number, was to be a paper which should represent the in- terests of Mystic and her sister villages and give a record of passing interest and a weekly history of home affairs. The paper was not to be neutral in its attitude to public questions, the editor reserving to himself the right to ex- press his opinions, at the same time allowing the free use of his columns within reasonable limits to those differing with him, in order that there might be free discussion of the momentous questions then agitating the public mind. Mr. Watrous was succeeded in the management of the paper by Chauncey D. Rice, who remained in charge until his enlistment in the 26th Connecticut Volunteers, when he was succeeded by H. G. A. O. Adam. In January 1870 he sold the establishment to I. Walter Miner, who changed the name to "Mystic Journal." Mr. Miner remained in charge but fourteen months, when in April 1871 he transferred his interest in the paper and printing office to the "Stonington Mirror." The paper was thereafter issued from the office of the Mirror, being identical with the latter, except for the retention of its own name.
In February 1873 the "Mystic Press," under the editor- ship of Lucius M. Guernsey, was established in the quarters vacated by the "Journal" and this continues to be the village paper of Mystic.
First Spiritual and Liberal Society
In the month of August 1869 the First Spiritual and Liberal Society of. Mystic was organized in Avery Hall in Mystic, where for a time its meetings were held. A brief constitution adopted stated that the object of the organiza- tion was moral and spiritual instruction and it was to be promotive of a belief in spiritual existence, the meetings being free and the subject presented open to discussion.

MISCELLANEOUS
Soon afterwards the society dedicated a new hall on Brook street, near Palmer's Cove. The cult has never attained a great vogue, though it had devotees in the town for many years.
Echoes of Slavery Days
The following incidents growing out of the time when slavery existed in Connecticut are of interest. In the Groton Land Records, Book 10, page 89, we find this entry : "Be it remembered that we, Benjamin Brown of Groton in the County of New London and State of Connecticut, Husbandman, and Sarah his wife, being both convinced by the spirit of truth that it is unjust for us to hold any of our fellow creatures in bondage and servitude, we viewing it to be the mind of God and his holy and well beloved son, Jesus Christ, our Redeemer Lord and Savior, that all the race of mankind has an equal right to temporal freedom as well as deliverance from Spiritual bondage; If they will except of the same, do hereby in the fear of God in the love of his dear Son and in obedience to the Holy and Blessed Spirit release, set at liberty, yield up and surrender all our rights, title, claim or demand that ourselves our heirs, executors or administrators have or can have, of, in and unto a certain Negro Girl named Cloe aged about eighteen years, which according to the laws of man doth belong unto us as our own estate, unto her the said Cloe, meaning hereby that she should be a free person in the eye of the laws of the land to all intents, construction and purposes as fully and completely as if she had been free born, or that any white person belonging to this country can have, and for the causes aforesaid to hereby utterly revoke and disannul all pretentions to any right or title to the aforesaid Cloe that we have or any other person or persons have or can have from, by or under us as fully and com- pletely as if she had never been born in bondage unto us.
In witness whereof we, the said Benjamin and Sarah, have hereunto set our hands and seals this twentyeth day of the eleventh month in the year of our Lord 1782.

We certify that Nero, a Negro man belonging to Robert Gere, Esq. of Groton in New London County is above 25 and under 45 years of age, is healthy and well and desires to be made free agreeably to Statute Law of the State of Connecticut, in such case made and provided. We there- fore consent that his said master may set him free con- formably to said statute law.

"Soon after* (1817) was tried the case of Town of Columbia vs. Williams et alium. A citizen of Groton had left a slave, Adam, who had, after his master's decease, removed to Columbia and there became a town charge. The town sued the heirs of Williams and they claimed that the suit was improperly brought, that Groton ought to have been sued as Adam had a settlement with his master there, which town could then have recovered from them. As it was admitted that Adam had never been manumitted the Court sustained the claim of the defendants, and the town on this point lost its case and a new trial was ordered, which seems never to have come off."* Although slavery was practically abolished by the act of March 1, 1784, quits for the support of former slaves were common for the next fifty years.
We have spoken of the formation of a Baptist church in Key West and that the church belonged to the Stonington Union Association. In 1847 il was reported to the associa- * Slavery in Connecticut, John Hopkins Press, October, 1893, p. 40.

tion that slavery existed in the church at Key West and Deacon Albert Edgcomb and Revs. A. G. Palmer and Eras- tus E. Denison were appointed a committee to inquire into the matter and to report at the next annual meeting. The committee reported in 1848 and the record states :*
"After a somewhat protracted discussion (though in a Christian spirit) the following resolution was offered and adopted, and ordered printed in the minutes of the Asso- ciation :
"Resolved-That in view of the fact as presented in the report of the Committee that slavery does exist in the church at Key West, and that the holding of slaves does not disqualify an individual for membership therein, said church be dropped from membership in this Association."
