 mother town ,be tilial regard and con. gratnlations of its ol,ies, daughter. We are proud to claim descent from town that after two hundred wears existence can manifest such exuherant and man fold vitality. And we are proud, too, that the daughter can claim some share in laying the foundation of this prosperity. and that later relations be- tween town and parish were so helpful and harmonious. Thompson was d. lowed all the roads for which she asked .te travel to Thompson meeting house on." She had her share of town offices and paid her part of the town charges. Our Dressers and Conycrses worked tc gether in committees with your Cut lers, Cadys, tcavens and Hutchins. Samuel Danielsen and simon Larned set together in General Court as dcpu- ties. My own ancestor, William Lar ned, served the town as treasurer, and was rewarded by q special grant ei le, los, Ida rare instance ef municipal gratitude.
 Town and parish hraved together the perils of the French and Indian war; they bore together the burdens of the Revolution. killingly and Thompson men served together in Putnam's Reg iment in l75a, guarding headquarters at Cambridge and covering the retreat at Bunker Hill. Thompson men stood hs Col. panielson in hts long guard at Providence. They mourned together over their fallen heroes and rejeieed to- gether over the final triumph. And when the war was over Thomp- son mea Joined with killinglN tn that notable emigration. which under the lead and statesmanship Of killingit < most distinguished son. Manasseh Cut | Ter, laid the foundations of the state oi Ohio. We three towns can each claim a share in giving to our country the fa- ther of that North West Ordinance, which had such mighty influence in shaping it's development. ManasSeh Cutler was born in kiliingly, baptized al the eighth day in the meeting house on Thompson Hiil, fitted for college in the gambrcl.roof house still standing | on Putnam Heights.
 The separation of town and parish came in natural course of development l without contest or friction, ,old and new l towns only wing In manufacturing enterprise. Sixty years later Killing ly spared another slice of territory for the new town nf Putnam And after all these losses and dismembefmants,n ,ney- l CT was our common mother so strong i ant! vigorous.
 l II k told of my very great-grandmeth- CT Cady--a true daughter ol killingly-- that on her gath birthday she walked two miles to visit her daughter, and
 when her sonin.law, the deacon, pions- ly inquired into the state oi her mind,
 answered briskls:
 "To tell you the truth have eaia
 ttoaghts new.R
 And here k our old mother. town, past her ftoo huadretiM birthday, talk 1 ing long strides forward, keeping pace
 with, if not outstepping, her daughters, | and, If not with "vain tho Ights,' cer-
 tainly with very hpe thoughts of fur
 ther enterprise and progress. We wish
 her many centuries of continued pros- perity and trust that these three towns,
 springing from one vigorous root, may
 ever maintain helpful family relations,
 aud when two years hence Thompson
 reaches her i25th mile stone, we nope
 you will all come and hell IS celebrate.

PUTNAM CONN., FRIDAY. JULY 10 1908

! Light S Power Co.,. 4SS ei | Telephone Co, 2o oo , J. H. Mann, l2 aa When the bill of ]. H. Mann for ser vices as assistant prosecuting attorney was read il was stated by the speaker that he had been informed that Mir. Mann could not act as prosecuting al torney: that he would not be recognize ed by the court, as no person except a lawyer is qualified to set as prosecut- ing attorney. That there might he a suit for false imprisonment if he should act and any person was committed to jail. The biii was passed upon favor ably.
 When the electric light bill came up there was some he>itancy about pay ing 1t. There has as yet been no new contract made with the Putnam Light and Power Co. A member of the com- miltee stated that he had called on the resident manager, but was unable 10 get much satisfaction from the inter 1 view. The lights that Lad been voted had not been installed, and the mana ger at first said that those on South 1 Main street would not be installed un- less the city set the poles, but later said they would be installed by the eompa- ny If a three year contract were made. The manager said that unless some l thing was done in the matter the lights would be turned off.
 Mayor McGarfy expressed the opin- ] ion that perhaps the managers supe- 1 riors might not concur in his methods i if called to their attention. He also said that perhaps, if the company re- fused to deal with the city except on l their own terms and manner. it might
 he well to appoint committee to in-
 vcstigate and see if other means might
 be found for giving the city light. It was found that the bill in question came under the old contract, and il was
 approved and ordered paid.
 Alderman LaRue, of the police com
 mittee, called the attention of the coun- ci to the bill for carrying the prison- CTS to Brooklyn. He thought the city
 was spending too much money for talk. ing care of tramps. In other cities these men were severely dealt with and skipped those places and came to Put
 nam, where there was more leniency shown them. He said the police ap-
 propriation would soon be exhausted
 at the present rate of expenditure, and
 lie thought these treaups should be given the full pen ss .sehen they ap- pear in court, so that they would skip Putnam In the future.

"It is astonishing" remarked a well known authority on Diseases of the skin ''how such large number of people, es- pecially ladies, are by attractively writ ten advertisements, induced to purchase some one of the many so called Beauty Creams now on the market, not know ing of course that they mostly contain oily or greasy substances that clog the pores of the skin and are for that reason the very worst thing that they could possibly use. My treatment of Pimplss, Blackheads, Blotches and all cruz tions ofthe skin, are as follows and has in variably proved very successful. Wash the face carefully every night before re- tiring with warm water and 8 little oat- meal tied up in a small cloth bag, then after drying well, use the following in- expensive and perfectly harmless pre- scription which can be filled at any Drug store. Clearola E OF. Ether 1 oz. Al cohol 2 ozs. Use this mixture on the face as often as possible during the day, but use night and morning anyway, al lowing it to remain on the face at least ten minutes, then the powdery film may be wiped off. Do not wash the face for some little time after using By follow ing this simple treatment, you will soon have . clear and Brilliant Complexion. ,

field to the crossing north of the Ashley Falls station, only, when they should have continued their work to the town line between here and Canaan. An other Ashley Falls man says that to his positive knowledge there is a piece of road in the village which has not been worked during the past five or six years. We are informed that the large part of the work ill the town of Shef- field has been done on the under mountain road of late and other roads have been allowed to go untouched, roads which are much in need of re- pairs The farmers and others who have occasion to draw heavy loads over the roads hereabouts are the ones who are finding the most fault. There seems to be little doubt that there will be a popular uprising in this end of the town at the next election unless existing road conditions are remedied.

Apsreant Rule to Route Patrons

The Postmaster at Canton desires
N call attention to the practice Of
s0cne patrons Of rural delivery of
placing loose coins in their boxes each
ttnne they desire to dispatch letters
instead of supplying themselves with
pQetage In advance of their needs.
This practice imposes undue. hard
ship on the rural carriers In removing
locoo coins from boxes aud delays
them on the service of their routes.
The postmaster, therefore, urgently
reQueats that patrons of rural delivery
provide themselves and keep on hand
= enpply OF stamps consistent with
AMI III advance of their needs. 1t is
very Desirable that rural patrons
8pl1oef in their mail boxes small de-
taGhable cups of wood or tin in which
to$Tp1ace coins, when necessary, in
