The current issue of the Telephone Bul'etin, continufne jts =eries of ar- cles on Fastern Conrecticut territory and exchanges in the Norwich dis- trict. pays a tribute to the growth of “he telerhone business, the alertness “ the emploves and the efficie~cy ‘he service in the Danielson, Put- * ard Mcoosup divisions. in tracing history of the development of the b ss in this section of the state. The Putnam and Danielson divisions ~e described as springing into life alout the same time and as en- “ving the distinction of being among ldest exchanees In the state. The (visions were Jaid out in 1852 and ‘~ve connected with a single ground- »d iron line.

Even two years later “rvice was not furnished on Sundays - ho'idays, contihuous service being ‘arted ten years after the offices were nened. Moosup, the baby of the trio, ~ken from the territory of the Dan- <lson division, did not come into ex- ‘stence until 1907. A The Danielson exchange opened with ‘? telephones, the number gained in he next ten years being but 9. By “902. however, the total hid jumped "o 212 and 1912 ended with 673 tele- ~hones in service. January 1 of his_year the number had increased © 756 in Danielson and 356 in Moosup. ‘The present week shows a total of 721 stations in the local division.) Willlam L.

Mrs. Lacy Day Ames, widow of George Ames, died Tuesday at the tome of her daughter, Mrs. Willard lelson. Her death was nnl?oet— although she had been in feeble realth for a long time, Mrs. Ames was member of one of Killingly's oldest amilies, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. “7rus Day and was born in this town on Aug. 20, 1823..

Those interested in the local team feel that their victory over their old-time rivals last season has sunk in so deep that the intervening weeks have not long enough to eradicate the so spots, and are charging that Killingly is not looking for another dose of the same medi- cine. The two teams had several live- ly battles last season and it was hard ‘work for the referee to keep the play- ers within bounds, but the last game, that decided the supremacy of the teams, which Putnam won, while fast was a fairly fought contest and it is thought that the team in the neigh- boring town was well satisfied that they were beaten by Putnam on Put- nam’s merits. The refusal to play this seafon looks like weakness in the Kil- lingly quintet and a fear of Putnam's fast 1914-15 five. Many Want to Be Commissioners. Mobilization of cardidates for ap- rointment of county commissioners in Windham cou ty is proceeding apace. ‘There is to be no dearth of aspirants in the republican party. From day to day new names are heard and all of meén well qualified to fill the office. Three commissioners are to be elect- ed by the incoming legislature, so there are more places-than usual to be filled. County Commissioner E. H. Hall of Windham George A. Bartlett of the same town, John A. Dady of Putram, Edwin H. Keach of Killingly, E. H. Corttis of Thompson, Urgele Tafrance of Plainfield and Charles M, Perrin of North Woodstock are among those mentioned as in lire to receive the honor. Mr, Dady is regarded as an especially strong candidate and his suprorters exrect to see him elected Until L. E. Smith was recent!v oointed. Putram has not been renre sented on the hoard of county cor missioners for many years. BLACKED GUARDIAN'S EYE. Emil Paquette Pays for Punching The- ophile Gauthier, with Whess Ward He Strolled. Emil Paquette, charged with as- saulting Theophile Gauthier, was be- fore Judge J. Harry Mann in the ecity court Tuesday morning. The assault was the outcome of a breach of friend- ship that ocecurred some time since, and in it a young woman figured. This young woman, aged about 17 was adopted into the Gauthier home. Paquette became friendly with her and was permitted the privilege of calling upon her, but Gauthier warned Pa- quette that he should not see her o: the street. Paquette gained Gauthler’ enmity one Sunday afternoon when he met the young couple out walkinz in defiance of his ultimatum. Thereaf- ter Paquette was forbidden to call at the Gouthier home. Ultimate result— a meeting between Paquette, aged about 21, and Gauthier, aged about 45, resulting in an assault by Paquette and a blackened eye and swollen jaw for Gauthier. Paquette was found guilty and fined $1 and costs, which he paid. Company Proving Popular, Finnegan's Alley was the comedy musical show that was presented by the Raymond Teal players at the Bradley theater Tuesday matinee and evening. The comedy went well with the au- dience, which seemed to derive much enjoyment out of the clever manner in which the piece was presented. Mr, Teal and chorus in séng novelties made a decided hit. The company is p;\wing very popular with local peo- ple. How Telephone Service Has Developed ‘The growth of the telephoné busi- ness in Putnam from its inauguration here in 1882 is traced in an interest ing article that appears in the cur- rent issue of the Telephone Bulletir At the time the exchange was marke out and established 31 telephones we placed in service. On January 1 ¢ this year the number had been in creased to 1,441 and since that time has continued to show a steady gain. Putnam is the largest of the three divislons in Windham county under the direction of Manager W. L. Moran, who also has the supervision of the Danielson and Moosup exchanges. In these three divisions there is a total of 2,553 stations. The number of calls handled in the Putnam exchange each day averages 8,170, and at times runs over 9,000 a day. The clerical force at the local office. the article says, numbers two. H. A, Lord, wire chief for the district, has his headquarters here, with & force of 10 men in this and the Danlelgon di- vision. Miss Alice E. Sherman, chief operator, has a force of 12 operators. The securing of new business is In the hands of Carl T. Kent. The articles tell something of Put- industrial and railroad cen. ter and of its many waterpower pri {leges and various features that ha contributed toward the tele- phone business expand in such degree.
