Hi Terry manufactured the wooden movement that was in the clock nearly or quite a century ago and the clock was given to John c. Atkins, who made case for it. It had been in the Atkins family contin- uously until 1t passed by purchase Monday to Richard Baldwin, who is direct descendant four generations re- moved from the first Ell Terry.
 sBigger and better than ever' is the verdict on tie Danbury fair and this description Its not only the show in It's entirety but the prize cattle, the exhibition pufnpkins and the dough- nuts made by the ladies of the Bap- tist church and served at their booth. The big fair IS now in full swing, in cluding the Ferris wheel and the rag gle dazzle. the ride which Is similar to a sail in boat, that gets knocked endwise by d heavy sea. One could ; spend nearly half day looking at the bean exhibit as one farmer shows forty varieties of the interesting vege- table. Another farmer has eighty four kinds of potatoes. This will give an idea of the magnitude of the show. And while there are countless varieties of the succulent squash, the empurpled plum and the triumphant tomato, there is but one kind of doughnut and that is made by the la- dies of the Baptist church.
