those things which make prosperous town.
 This whole county, while prosperous in agriculture, depends largely upon it's manufactcries, and the valuable and extensive water power of the town ship of Putnam has helped to furnish remunerative employment to thous- l ands of toilers, who constitute the bono and sincw of the town. We know too we'll that when the mills are silent cv- cry other industry suffers. Cotton, woolen, silk, boots and shoes, lumber and building, futnaecs--sli these In their various processes of man. uiacturc flourish In Putnam. Our banks have been very succcssfut- ly and safely managed for their organ ixatien.
 We introduced public water-works and eleetrie-lighting before pou did.
 Protestant and Catholic churches, ably and successfully conducted. min- ister to the religious needs of the people in both towns,
 Excellent schools of grammar and High School grade are the pride et each l community.
 1 We boast of two good newspapers the Putnam PATRIOT and the Wind- ham County Observer. The PATRIOT, by the way, was started in December, 1872, hy ]. q. X. Stone, for so many years ihe proprietor and editor of the Windham County Transcript. In iSad the principal portion of Put nam was incorporated as city, and so we claim all the advantages and as- sume all the responsibilities of city government, te which high estate the good old town of killingly has not yet eht aimed.
 Putnam claims to have done well tn it's halt century, more ar less, of exist ence as town. When We have lived l the balance of the two hundred years which lies to your credit, we shall have \ longer story to tell, but u Is doubtful If we have anything more to our credit than Is shown by the record of the past. l New England civilization is satnrat- ed with the noble inspiration of civil and religious liberty. That is what tho fathers buiitcd when they erected this town--the right Of each individual to freedom of thought, freedom Of speech and action--liberty controlled by re- gard and reverence of others, which never allowed liberty to degenerate in- | to license.
 The free public school and the eaual- 1 " free and open Bible, the free church --all these are tokens of our civil and religious liberty.
 Education and religious liberty, uni- ted and indivisible--tb have made both of our towns successful, and We shall strongly and successfully endure lust so long IN we protect and eneour- age these sources of our strength and i power.

The Denver Convention a Model One

E. In reading the newspaper accounts from Denver, about the work going on at the Democratic National Convention il might have been supposed there was te ae a fierce contention between Brs- an x forces and those Of the opposition, and also that there was going te be n hot fight over the platform. But no thing of the kind happened. Every thing worked like well-oiled machine ". Ridder, the New York German his face that he must withdraw, be- came his warm supporter as soon as he reached the convention. Alton B. Par ker with resolutions euiogizing Gieve- land that were to rend the convention, himself toned them down with an apo logy, and they were unanimously en- dorsed.
 Gompcrs, who represenled the Fede- ration Of Labor, who denounced the Republican plank on injuanctions,a and proposed on arriving al the convention to demand that an injunction To his liking should he adopted. He accepted the resolution that was passed unani- mously, although as moderate in tone as that passed by the Republican con vention, and expressed himself pleas ed with the convention,s work.
 Thus all differences about the candi- date and the platform were harmoni- ously settled with one exception, that of Gufiey, the leader of the Pennsyl- vania Democracy-what there is of it, as Taft will carry that State by about i50, ,0Oo majority. His grievance was a personal one. Bryan had publicly de- nounced him as unworthy of being a leader in the party, as he was infiuen- tial in the Standard Oil Co. This he admitted, but claimed that was his right as Democrat. He was howled down, however, and peace reigned. We suppose that Bryan was, or will be, nominated on the first ballot today -the "aliies" having conceded that.
 The Vice President Is seemingly the only difficult nut 10 crack. There are many able aspirants, but the point to reach decision is, which Eastern as- pirant will add the greatest strength to the ticket. Four years from now there will be little Jeff Of the conserya- tive opposition.

Addresses oa the History oi Thompsoa

The people of kiilingly were made very happy by the splendid and sue eessful celebration of the apth anni- versary of their town. If there was anything 10 mar the occasion il was the weather. being exceedingly warm, and on Saturday 1t WAS shewery, which no doubt hiadered greater crowds be- ing present..
 The program, however, was fully carried out with heartiness that no- thing could mar. The old town was gaily decorated, and alive to the gram deur Of its past history.
 Putnam WAS represented officially and privately, and now our entire peo- pie feel more fraternally conscious of being one community as the two towns were at one time one organization
 The public spirit manifested is an incentive to the people of other towns to regard with more interest whatever affects the gene ral welfare. The ruh lie spirit manifested by the leading cit. tizens was beyond all praise and does them great honor.
 The permanent great benefits arising from the celebration are the historical addresses delivered by many promi, nent people, IL would require more space than we have te spare for only a few of the leading addre sses, and we cannot even touch the general proceed ings.

JUDGE E. NJ. WARMERS ADDRESS.

Ii ittsE f.s AF W f ttasfth 7 fttFhfr'ttt
 Judge E. Nj. Warner, Of Putnam, had for his subject, "Our Youngest oti- sprIng-Putnam."
 Just n word, Mir. President, about this magnificent Bi.eenlennial Gelehfa- ton. You and your townsmen, here and now, are eonifadieting the old siuf "that the good which men do k buried in their graves, but the evil lives and perpeiuates itself.p This whole week commemorates the good deeds of the fathers in founding town here two hundred years ago. No matter whether we are related by ties of blood to those pioneer men or not, we are their lineal heirs and descendants, and, while they builded better than they knew, we have entered into their labofs.
 It Is the law of family life for the children, as they grow up, to want q home of their own, and the old folks generally are glad to do their part to set up the new housekeeping, so we find that the good old town Of Killing Iy gave seven and one half square miles of the territory, which formed the new town Of Putnam.
 The residents of the various parts of other towns which now constitutes the territory of Putnam long before issso had tried to set up on their own ac- count, bu, had repeatedly failed. some people think they failed for the lack of A good name. Quinebaug did not seem quite 50 appealing as the grandest fig nre, next to Washington in ail the re- yosnlfon--sp dasiiing glorious General Putnam.
 N hen Il was proposed b name the new town after him, nothing eould stop the movement, and the people of that territory felt very happy on the morning of July skh, Iso5. which they celebrated aa their first Fourth of July as a town, with full organization and officials.
 These years since is55 have justified tAe formation of the new town. kii- IingIy has been no less prosperous. and Putnam, with the energy of youth, has pushed her way to tue front in ali
