Quite large number OF our people took
in the Woodstock fair and called 1t good
show. By the way, Barnard in It's palmy
DAYS had town fairs up on the common
where the Seventh Day Advents have held
meeting all through the past summer.
These fairs were not success financially
and soon came to grief. The last fair held
here was somewhere about 1870. The
show of stock was good, especially horses,
the old time Barnard Morgan horses were
there. One feature OF the show we well
remember, the late Lemuel Spooner whom
many will remember as living in this
town and Pomfret, who was soldier In
the war of 1872 and was In the battle at
Plattsburg and was 80 years old or more,
appeared on the fair ground riding Nor
gan horse The men of olden times were
good horsemen and Uncle Lem, as he was
familiarity called, was no exception 10 the
general rule. He was accompanied by
Moses e. Cheney who is an admirer OF
fine horses. The late Capt. Alvin Wood
was marshal assisted BY two or three dep
uties. People from other towns were
heard to say that this was the best fair
thew ever attended. Mr. Cheney brought
the celebrated stock horse Morgan, Light
foot to this town some thirty years ago.
He finally sold him to a Barnard syndi-
cate for 1920. This was a much better
horse than old John Morrill, that Mr..
Cheney picked up somewhere in his trav-
els as singing master.

was Trenton, where several hundred troops
were regularly stationed In response to
Gen. Sulllyan's appeals every available man
was sent away to Jackson, and asfew con-
valescents and detailed men were the Sole
defenders. When the commander, Col.
Jacob Fry, learned that Forrest was ap-

could not recall his men. Forrest. in person,
dashed into the town, leading his escort
and a couple of hundred raw recruits, and
Fry soon surrendered, Internationally.
When he gave up his sword to Forrest
he did it sadly, remarking that it

Forrest handed it back, saying. Take back

but hope, sir, when next worn it will be
in better cause than the subjugation of
your countrymen."

Gossip.

JOSIAH KERLEw :-"I have been all through the bad lands and know something of the terrible results of an engagement with Indians in such a country, there is but little timber, some low hills and few small streams scattered over many miles of country. The Indians have much the best of a fight in that country" The character of the country is very similar to the country along the slope of the Whet- stone mountains where the S. P. road winds through such gulleys and around abrupt curves" .o
 N. A. GILMAN :-"The disarming of the Apaches on the San Carlos reser- vation is not as difficult task as most people imagine. There are Yuma Indians enough to do it and they would be glad of an opportunity. When they started in there might be trouble, but it would not affect the whites and if few Apaches lost their lives it would not be serious matter"
