 bury Case On Trial.
 fSteeple Tom Fitzpatrick furnished interest for the few Putnam people who did not get away to the Wood stock fair Tuesday afternoon when he the spire of the Congregational church, which is to be painted. His precarious position on a tiny swing stage gave many of the watchers a funny feeling, but Fitzpatrick was not doing any worrying as he went steadily along old paint away.
 To Woodstock Fair by Long Route.
 The fact that Woodstock avenue as route to the fair is blocked on ac- count of the state highway construc- tion work being done there obliged several hundred machines to make the f air grounds via way of Pomfret street and the River road route Tuesday, or by Pomfret Center. For those who went over in livery cars the longer ride through Pomfret was appreci- ted especially as there was no extra charge.
 Stores Close On Fair Day. Putnam had much of the appearance that 1t presents Sundays during Tues day afternoon when the stores closed to permit those employed in them to attend that fair at Woodstock, About everyone made the most of the oppor- | tunity and the city had a larger rep | resentation on the grounds than any other one place in the county with the possible exception of Woodstock. = Junior Glass Officers.
