Born here and spend- ing most of his life here, he never for- got the interests of the viilage of his early home. “In business he was honorable; in the church, a pillar of strength; and in the community a worker for its highest interests. ! “He will be greatly missed and by his death and the recent death of his mother, Mrs. Marjetta = Paine, the church and community have suffered an Irreparable loss.” Tendered Nomination for Mayor.

Plenty Doing on Clos g Day—Melody by Tubbs' Band—First Award to Killingly Grange. Thers was only a fraction of the mumber at the fair of the Windham County Agricultural society at Brook- lyn Thursday that went over to see the exhibition on Wednesday, but those that did attend had an equally good time. The majority of those who put in the appearance on the last day were dyed in the wool fair-fans—people who vearly make the round of the county fairs, go every day, and stay until everything but the popcorn is packed up. They are the blue ribboners of the fair-going species. It was close to the noon hour of the closing ‘day before many people got to the grounds, the majority being at- tracted only by the track events ar- ranged for the afternoon. It was rath- er cool, too, in the early part of the day, and that may have had much to do with knocking down the gate re- ceipts from the very satisfactory amount shown at the close of business Wedndsday—something ‘more than 3900, Tubbe’ Band Gave Concert. Tubbs’ ‘band of Norwich gave a “sun bath” concert from 11 o’clock un- til noon that helped thaw out the groups that gathered ahout the organ- ization seated on chairs in the open outside the exhibition building. This band, by the way, cost the fair people @ little more than they have been in the habit of paying for music during the last few years, but the consensus was that it was worth the money, which was better spent than it might haye been for frayed vaudeville acts, mfasing from the programme this year, And while mention is being made of the band just a little space must be given to its veteran leader—C Tubbs—who, during the many y that he has’been identified with musi- cal organizations has come to be al- most as wWell known in Windham as in New London county. While not as active a leader today as he was when many who watched him direct Thurs- among the musiclans. Horse Day. 2 Thursday was desienated as horse day at the fair. ¥uch classes of equine aristocracy as had been ar- ranged for exhibition weére paraded be- fore the judges on the track after 11 o’clock and the experts on horseflesh gazed from the grandstand or in many instances divided the display space that they might be afforded a better view, Freuk S.

No name has been mentioned for the place, and it is not probable that there will be a cont WOMAN PICKPOCKET d . Worked Most Successfully at Putnam Fair. The more that the police of Putnam have been able to learn relative to the manner in which pickpoekets went through the crowd at the Putnam fair, the more they' are confirmed in their icion that a woman was one of the t of the clique that operated so successfully. This belief is grounded on information fu pe ns who suf- fered the loss of their money. In sev- eral instances the parties robbed that a woman w the person who came into close contact with them The police are surprised, tod, at the extent to which the game was work- ed, each day adding information as to some person who wa. cleaned out. WATER SYSTEM. Taxpayers May Vote to Have City Acquire It. There is live interest in Putnam in the very important matter of register- ing whether or not the majority of the voters are willing to go on record as favoring the acquisition of the water system as a city property, when they are called upon to make their decision at the special meeting called for. next Tuesday. There is a strong sentiment in favor of the proposed investment. This has heen created in part by dis- satisfaction with the service rendered, and has not been strengthened by the recent report of an especially appoint- ed committee recommending that the city take over the water business. Hesitancy to favor the projected pur- chase is mnoticeable in some quarters, because of unfamiliarity with the de- talls of the manner in which the trans- actlon may be put through, because of uncertainty as to the cost to the city, and doubt as to whether or not such a venture into municipal ownership would prove a paying proposition. The citizeus of Putham will way obligate themselves i favorable to buying. Even unde circumstances the ¢city need not r sarily bu{" excepting at a fair valua- tion of the prgperty in question. The valuation wowld be pxed by a commis- sion of cilizeus and represeiitatives of in no ) ihnmwa.ta; 'coni'baa'w. ; Should | by the legislature would take up thel matter. p It is believed by those who favor ‘making the purchase that if these facts were thoroughly understood by the voters they would not hesitate to vote favorable to buying. This, in fact, is about the only method by which they can learn what the Water company expects to get for its property. Work on New Stretch of Highway. The work of placing macadam on the new stretch of highway leading from below the fair grounds to White's crossing is under way. When this road is completed it will be one of the finest in Putnam. The new layout has elim- inated the hardest of the grades. The force building the road has been at work for many. weeks,but the improve- ment is now advanced to the stage where its ultimate excellence is be- coming apparent. WOMAN’S BOARD.

MAY BUY SHAKER SETTLEMENT. Representative of Baron de Hirsch Fund Said to Be After It. It is reported that negotiations are under way for the sale of the Shaker settlement in the east part of Thomp- sonville to a representative of the Ba- ron de Hirsch fund. and if the sale should go through the large tract of land will be used ss a Jewish settle- ment, conducted under the Hirsch management. The Shakers own nearly 1,200 acres of land, and together with buildings these are assessed by the town of En- field on $128,600 worth of property. Some of the land extends in the ad- joining towns of Longmeadow and Somers. It is known that a local law- ver has visited the town clerk’s office and inquired about the titles of the Shaker property. The price offered for the property was $150.000, but this offer has been rejected by the trnstees of the Shak- ers, it is said. Lately the Shakers have been fast decreasing in numbers and within a few years the remaining members would go to the community - is favor by the Springfield and Jewish merchants the promoters state. Congressional Investigations. The peopie of the United States must be weary, we should think, of congres- sionzal investigations. In the investiga- tion by coagress of the relation of the tariff to the cost of living,th2 Ta- resulted in two conclusions, namely: that the tariff was and was not responsible fot the high price of necessities, ‘the democrats found that it was; the republicans that it was not. The committee might have taken a vote and reached precisely the same - conclusion on the first day it convened. Likewise, the Ballinger-Pinchot in- quiry. ‘Those on the committea who are anti-Ballinger stole a march on the others, and have voted the secretary of the interior ‘‘unfit” to be in the cabinet. But the end is not yat, and there is more than a possibility, at this writing, that Ballinger will be both condemned and sustained. That side, it seems, is always right which controls the most votes.—Puck. the product of the is the hardest sub- Carborundum, dlectric furnace, stance known.
