The woman was very much upset over the affair and cried when questioned at the police sta- tion, where she came to make arrange- ments to get an attorney for her hus- band. Mrs, Henry was not held. Charles Guinstos of Webster was found not guilty of reckless driving when arraigned before Judge W. Fenner Wood- ward in the tewn court to answer to that charge. The charge grew out of an accident in which ~Guiastos' car struck and injured Mary E. Adams at Attawaugan on Sunday a few weeks ago. The accused entered the defence that the accident occurred through no fault of his. He stated that he ing along the state highway able rate when Mrs. Adams started to cross ahead of his car.

The petition of the clerks of Putnam for a Thursday afternoon half holiday throughout the year, except during De- | cember, has not been approved by the Merchants’ Committee of the Chamber of Commerce. Following a meeting & week or more ago, at which time the matter was under consideration, the committee sent out questtonnaries to all ‘merchants asking for a *‘yes” and “no” vote on the proposal to close all the year round. In tabulating these questionnaries it was found that the larger stores were opposed to the plan and that the smaller stores appeared to bo favorable to the idea. After discussing and considering ‘the situation the committee decided that it was best for the clty as a trading denter and for the community not to close the stores a half d the year round. The committee therefore decided to\ take no action whatever. All mem- bers of the committee were' present. Al- fred Bonneville, representative of the clothing interests, resigned as he has sold his store to open a grocery store. The vacancy was filled by electing. George E. Brousseau of the Church Clothing Co. Stores closed Thursdag af- ternoon as usual but this will be the last half holiday for this year.

Many dollars will be added to the weekly pa¥ rolls of these mills and put in circulation among the mercantilo industries of Putnam.

The first Monday in October has ar- rived again and with it the fact that it is voting day in Griswold, A man who has voted in many a past election remarked Sunday that town meeting day wasn't what it used to be in days of another generation. He call- ed to mind the many well remembered contests when both sides bent every cn- ergy to elect their board of selectmen. Early in the day teams were pressed in- to service. All the county around was carefully watched and checked up by those who knew the ropes. In the last half hour, and many times in the last ten minutes there was something doing. The man who had held off until the eleventh hour was hustled in. In a fly- ing cloud of dust late arrivals hove 'n sight in the distance, and, even us the moderator was consulting his watch for the last time the final votes were cast. It is said that in these times there were men in both parties so well ac- quainted with the town's vote that they could checkover the voting list and fore- cast the election by as small a margin as two or three votes.

One of the main troubles In commec- tion with the research in this section, to secure reliable data relative to the hoop snake, has been that nothing could be learned in that line of recent date. This last week told the story of the ex- periences which Dr. Sweet and his party hatt in Wyoming, on their western trip, as recounted In all its interesting detail by George Rathbun, he who played the Ole Bull part in their recent: Dash to the Paclfic by Auto, At the close of one hot day the party were traveling along 3 smooth stretch of level road, with teyes alert for a suitable place to camp for the night.
