At last Saturdays session of the
lvobatn court the seleetmen of the
town presented a petition to the court
asking that the property Of David
Booth, negro who died here about
three years ago, be assigned TO the
town. An effoit to find lawful heirs
to his property, about $500 in one cf
the local banks, has been unsuccessful.
There was no opposition to the petition
but Judge Waterman reserved his de-
cision. The matter vii be decided with
in a few days.
The statement that the Valley
Fair association will cut down its show
of cattle this year is erroneous. Presi-
dent George W. Pierce is authority for
the statement that the exhibit of eat
tie this year will be as large as ever.
Already enough herds have been en-.
tered to make that department rec
ord-breaker and there are many more
to be heard from. The cattle show at
the Valley Fair has the reputation of
being one of the finest in the country
and everything will be done to keep it
up to the standard this year.
