GREAT HARRINGTON

The General Electric Company is fast getting the Stanley shops into operation and now has 25 men at work there. Of these about 10 are designing engineers working out plans for new tools. Nearly all the costly equipment of the shops as run when the Stanley meter was being manufactured is worthless for the new meter and has been discarded. When the shops are in full running order it is expected that force of 800 hands will be constantly employed.
 Little Ruth VanDeusen, while play ing about the yard last week, fell and broke her left arm.
 Superintendent of Schools Herman Dressel was in New York recently on the lookout for man to take Mir. Adams place as teacher of mathematics at Searles. This position and that of in- structor in stenography and bookkeeping are still open.
 George Forrest of Hartsville has a couple of horses in the training stables at the fair grounds which those who have watched them work say are little short of wonders. Neither horse has had the benefit of trainer until the past few weeks, when Hiram Fox of Sheffield took charge of them for while, during which time they have gotten rapidly into shape. A stallion, five years old, has not once broken during two months track driv- ing and it is claimed he has done 2.15.
 A large number of attractions for the fair are under consideration, but none have been engaged as yet. The fair will be four days long this year. the first day being largely devoted to the holding of a big horse show. It is probable that there will be no running races at this meet, but the trotting and pacing classes will be up to their old standard. The entries will close about the middle of September.

Henry T. Blake, president of the park

whether man can vote written bal

another suit to test the question

Mr.. Blake had written and voted. Mr..
Blake insists that the ballot should
have been counted. No matter that he
had written the names of candidates on
the ballot in ink.
In q previous election two years ago
Mr.. Blake tried, in a similar manner,
to test the right of man to vote dis
tinguishing ballot. lat that time he
brought legal proceedings on the basis
that the official count was incorrect,
because his ballot had not been count

case, claiming that a favorable decision
would not change the result, and the
case was not within the strict spirit
Of the law.
