The annual town meeting and town election was held in A. O. H. hall on Monday, and passed off very orderly.
 IL is generally conceded that Put nam, under normal conditions, is a wet" town. No public effort was made to arouse public interest to SC cure "no license,n except that all the ministers of the city were requested to preach on temperance last Sunday morning. with which they all complied Rev. Fr. Van den Neort, the Catholic Pastor. heartily joining in. The license vote fell of 5l from last years vote. Throughout the State the license ques- ton was the main issue, the "wets" lost six towns but gained nine-among the latter being Danielson, which last year went "dry.. Strong efforts were made to maintain no license, but with out avail
 The business meeting was called to order RI two o'clock by Moderator, l.. II. Fuller.
 When the school question was taken up, the matter of appropriation and the enlarging or rebuilding of the pres ent High School caused considerable discussion.
 When clause four of the warrant was reached, E. Nj. Warner, Secretary of the School Board, moved that Sal 900 be appropriated for schools, an increase of 5000 over last year. This motion was strongly opposed by N. S. John- son and Geo. A. Vaughan. There was a lengthy discussion over the question, in which [. l.. Torrey, k. II. Johnson and pr. ]. B. kent-members of the Board took hand, and explained to the meeting why il was more expen- sive to run schools at the present time than in the past. MT. Nughan did not so much question the necessity of the expenditure, but argued that the town could not afford it. When the matter of increasing the accommodation of the High School was reached, consid- erable of the ground was re-argued.
 MT. Johnson moved that the question be indefinitely postponed, but the mo- tion was not carried.
 The business transacted was as fol. lows:
 Voted, To authorize the Selectmen to borrow such sums of money as may be necessary to defray the expenses of the town until the next annual meet ing.
 Voted, To permit Elizabeth Porter Putnam Chapter, D. A. R., to make such improvements at the old Putnam cemetery as they may deem advisable.
 The following committee of three was named to act with the D. A. k. committee: G. D. Bates, Charles h.. ToIfey and Whiteomb Danielson.
 Voted, That committee be appoint ed to investigate the accommodations al the High School to see whether it will be advisable to increase the accom- m odations by enlarging the building or otherwise.
 The following committee was ap- pointed to make the investigation: Ed ward Mulian, N. R. Barber, John F. Richard German and w. \. Johnson.

 Col. Dean Tsstiiiss of 0ss. A.renaisasa.
 In the q Press,n Stafford Springs, we find the following article Of interest to many of our readers: "Col. Charles l.. Dean writes The Press, that he served two years with the late deor9e A. Penniman on the Board of County Commissioners of Windham county. Mf. Dean was but 25 years Of age whsn first appointed in 1889, and probably the youngest man b hold ofIIcs In tho history of the State. Mir. Dean says: < 1 formed . very pleasant friendshlp with Penplman in those days that came to remain to the end. He was . gentleman .of the highest chasaeisss and had high standing In tho com munlty where he resided nearly ssven- ty-five yean and of which hs was sO much part. He certainly was in his active days one Of the leading citizsns of Woodstock and Windham county. }"
 Testimony of that character from Col. Dean means great deal.
 The Boston Herald, Sept. 3O, thus speaks Of Col. Dean: aOf course tho Hon. Charles l.. Dean heads Maiden,s finance commission. He is still the popular sine qus non." The words arc few, but they are wclghty.
