! h~ A- & A AA- @A- A VI The State examiner of town records ! was in town yesterday and after an 1 examination of the contents of the vault at the town haM, removed nine volumes of probate and other records 1 to be repaired and rebound. The rec /! ords of this town antedate any others | in this part of the State and every effort will be made to preserve theTn The Selectnen and the registrars of l of those who had made tlhe pre1inin-
 ary applications. When the joint board met two weeks ago there were
 2o5 names on the list of tto be made 9 1 At the first meeting 42 of these ap- peared and were made voters. Yes | terday 29 more presented themselves l to. take the oath making a. total of l only II of the 225 who had made ap- | plication who appeared to perfect their citizenship. This small showing indi- ca tes that there ist remarkable lack l of in terest in the result of the national election As the majority of those | who had made application were ex- pected to vote the Republican ticket it is obvious that this absence of con cern will affect the G. o. P. to a greater extent than their opponents. State Policeman Rowe WheeIer with 14 others of the State force yesterday
 were busy in Ridgefield and George town where they raided twenty blind been sold without the forna1ity of a, license from the county conIrnissi oners. Large quantities of liquors have been going into these towns by rail and shipped into the towns by the carload. Fifteen of the places were in Ridge town The liquor confiscated in the latter town filled a big two horse truck to it's capacity, and the com bined raids produced enough stock to start a good sized wholesale liquor
 States Attorney Stiles Judson was at one time one of the crack wing shots of the town and enjoyed the frequent excursions he made afield with dog and gun. Recently he has been obliged to deny himself this pleasure but on Wednesday he pass ed a day in the fields and woods in the north end of the town. He show ed a, bag of four partridge and three woodcock when he returned, which would be good record for anyone this season. It demonstrates that his eye is as keen and his hand as steady

 The current issue of the Stratford Times shows so much improvement that commendable mention cannot be omitted. Typographically the paper cannot be improved. The first page this week is picture gallery of finely printed cuts. The cuts of the victim and actors in the Putney tragedy ex- ceed in merit any printed by other pa pers That the paper should grow Into a 16 page affair so early in it's history is a surprise not only to the people of the town but to newspa- permen generally who know the diff faculties which beset the new born To- cal paper. The paper gives ample evi- dence of ability, energy and hard work on the part of the editor, Louis E. Peck, who, after the manner of country newspapermen, is obliged to fill almost all the positions on the sheet from sweeping out the office to | spending the large income which must l be the result of so many advertise i nents.
 The candidacy of John c. Wilcox son for judge of probate is meeting | with more than expected favor at the hands of the people of the town. Noth- l ng but absolute confidence in his abil- | ty probity and absolute honesty is | expressed on the street. With these assets and with the opposition hope essIy divided there is nothing to it i put his election.
