 Since this is the opening concert of l9ll-12 the orchestra of thirty-tive in struments was a revelation to those present, in number, technique and ev- idenee of proficiency. The essays by Miss Marguerite Farrell and Miss Margaret White were enthusiastically applauded.

Carpenter Property Not Sold to Telephone
 Company

A rumor was circulated Wednesday that the E. J. Carpenter property on South Main street had been isold to the Southern New England Telephone company, and that the company was to erect building to be used for tel ephone exchange and for the office of the Western unirn Telegraph compa- ny.which company the telephone com pany controls. While there was some foundation for the rumor, 1t was not correct.
 No one answered the phone at the Carpenter home on Killingly avenue Wednesday afternoon, so it was not possible to verify or disproye the ru- nor from this source. Mrs. Mary H. Medbury, general manager of the local exchange, said that it was not so, and was certain that she would have heard of the transfer if il had been made. This. Thursday morning the Carpenter home was reached on the wire. MT. Carpenter was out and the phone was answered by his wife. Asked if the property on South Main street had been sold to the telephone company she saidNo, but inumated that it might be if the company would pay the price asked. Asked if the company had an option on the property, she laughed and said 'perhaps so.'
 It has been known for some time past that the company were seeking q place, either to build or locate, in or near the business section where the telephone and telegraph offices might be combined. The recent reported break of the telegraph company with the Consolidated road and the removal of their offices from railroad stations gave color to the rumor that they were looking for such place in Putnam
 It also became a rumor that the Company had secured an option on Carpenter property. This property adjoins the Warner property to the north, has a 65-foot frontage on South Main street, on which there is brick dwelling, and extends through to School street where there is a small wooden dwelling. This would be an ideal location for such building as proposed and will be in close proximi- ty to the new post office building. If the deal goes through, in the future it will greatly change tine nature of South Main street between Front and Grove streets which would become a business rather than residential sec- ton as it is now from the City Hotel to Grove street.

Back to Jail After Five Years Freedom

John Foley, 5s, of Norwich, was ar rested by the police last Thursday for being dunk. Friday morning Foley told Captain Murray that he was an escaped prisoner from the county jail al Brooklyn. Jailer Fields was called up and said he wanted the sman and he was turned over to him. Foley was arrested in Central Village in August, 1907, and sentenced to 50 days and costs for drunkenness. He had worked out about half his sentence when one day while at work shoveling a ditch between Danielson and Dog Hill he escaped.
 He said he had spent most Of the time since in New York state. He had made occasional trips to the Quinebaug valley and worked at hie trade of cot l tgn spinner, but he only remained iei short periods as he lived in constant ] fear of discovery. Foley said the mat. ter had been preying on his mind SC that he had no peace and he was glad to go back and pay the penalty, ana come out free in mind and body.

Keep the Library in the Center

MR. EDITOR: Will you permit a word of protest against the proposed removal Of the public library to the old High school building? This remo- val will be a sad mistake, for II will cripple the lbrary's usefulness. Some years ago, 1 am told, the librarian, at the request lof the trustees, made an investigation to find out from which part of the town the librarysdraws the greater part oflits patronage. 1t was found that the users who live east and south of the present location were more numerous than those who live north and west. There is no reason to suppose that the proportion has since changed. Moreover the present loca- ton Is not inconvenient for the patrons from wards and 1, because they have to come to Main street for other pur- poses. But to make the patrons from wards and 2, who are majority Of the whole, go to the old High school is to discourage them from using the H. brary at all.
 The reading room, even more than the circulation department, needs to be centrally located within reach of all. Strangers in town, waiting flor trains, frequently dropi in and are pleased to find pleasant public room in which to wait. | adds to their good impress sion Of Putnam.
 An important part of the usefulness of the library is the help II gives the public schools. The children make large use Of 1t iG their history and coni- position work. To the great majority of these school children the present To- cation is vastly more convenient.
 The only reason given for the change Is economy, but is it a wise economy to save few dollars at such a high cost in efficiency? We could all save mon- ey by starving ourselves, but 1t would not be economical.
 Keep the library in the center where | 1t belongs.

Saturday Night Dance iu Union uali

The Saturday night dances that have been held in A. O. II. hall have so in- creased in attendance that larger hall is necessary to accommodate the pat ronsge. Last Saturday night was a record breaker. There was a real crush and dancing was under difficult ties, slthough the dancers took 1t good naturedly. Collins singing orchestra of Marlboro came into favor from the beginning of the first number. Their clever novelties, including electrical eff feets, songs, impersonations the use of megaphones, and Bley's xylophone so- los, were innovations that pleased the dancers. In granting the request of many of those present to have the or chestra againnext Saturday, the man. agement decided to hold the dance in Union hall where all can be aecommo- dated and the orchestra can work to better advantage.
 These dances have been well con. ducted and increased patronage de- notes the appreciation of those attend ing, who have advertised it among their friends. In assuming the addi tional expense of a larger hall the man. agement are relying on their patrons for support, and request that they tell others just what they think of the evenings entertainment provided for them. This will assure large attend on succeeding Saturday nights.

Manufacturing Business improving

Business among the manufacturing industries is beginning to show im- provement. The cotton business, which has been very slow for some time is picking up. The Morse, Night : ingale, and Powhatan mills have been running on full timeifor several weeks after long period of short hours. The Putnam Manufacturing company be- gan Monday to run full time after running on a fonr-day schedule fof nearly two years. The shoe business is showing a firmer market, the silk mills are humming and the wooden mill drumming on full time. With this improvement in the manufactur' ing industries of the city .comes bet
 ter mercantile business sand 1t looks a' , though the storeksepers may safel, count on a good Christmas trade.

For the Monument Fund

Last Saturday the weather was such that the monument committee of the W. k. C. decided to postpone Tag Day until next Saturday, Nov. 9, if pleas. ant. Young ladies are wanted to sell tags and all who are willing to assist in this work should apply to Mrs. Leach at the United Tea store in the Putnam Inn block, Friday from to 6 o'clock p. Ill.

Thanksgiving Donations to the Hospital

The committee of the Womsn's Board of the Day kimball hospital Is sending out paper bags marked in red, My Thanksgiving Contribution to the Day Kimball Hospital" The list of what is wanted follows: Vegetables of all kinds, cereals, eggs, flour, soaps and soap powders, cocoa and canned goods, butter, chickens and fruit. l.. k, Smith having kindly given per mission, donations will be received at his store on Saturday, Nov. 25, from l0,S0 a. m. to 1 r. m, and also on Tuesday as printed upon the bags, at the usual place and time. Don't for get the needs of the hospital are many and pressing.
 The Day kimball hospital is pub lie institution of which Windham county, and especially Putnam, Is proud. IL is impossible to estimate the good that such an institution does and it now seems impossible that the community ever got along without 1t.
 Each year there has been an appeal by the Noman's Board for these Thanksgiving offerings and always there has been ready and generous response ou the part of the pubic.
 The work of the hospital has inefeas- ed wonderfully and there has been great deal ot expense eniailed in en- laIging and equipping additional quarters te meet the growing demands.
 The institution is in capable hands and the efficient trustees, board of management, matron, and corps of nurses and physicians have made this hospital one of the best in the state. The Woman's Board have rendered u great service and, with many other friends of the hospital, have formed a corps of interested workers reaching to all parts of the county, and beyond. 1t is hardly necessary to urge all to res- pond as fully as possible to this Thanksgiving donation appeal.
