 Re Taken Off

Word has come from Waterbury that the officials of the New Haven road have been in that city to see what the sentiment is in regard to taking of the expresses which run through that city from New York to Boston and vice versa, the same trains that pass through Putnam. The current rumor in Waterbury is that the trains are to be taken of and run over the shore line. Nothing has been learned of the matter in Putnam ot Willimantic.
 It is claimed, according to Water. bury rumors, that the officials state that the trains do moi pay.

SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT
Work Still Going On.
Miscellaneous Notes.

Arrangements have been made to hold the annual State Convention of the Connecticut Suffrage association in Hartford, sometime during Octo- Der the date being left opened until such speakers would be available.
 The final report of the summer cam paign in Windham, Holland and Mid dlesex counties shows that 122 meet ings were held, 65 in halls and 57 out of doors. There were present approxi- mately i5,a85 persons, sa5S at the hall meetings and 7675 at the out door meetings.
 Another interesting fact is that 0hautauqua closed it's 10th session on Aug. Bl. Suffrage has been popular subject this summer, and the best speakers, including Secretary of State Bryan, have delivered the woman's message of freedom. Tkis year s,0O0- GOO persons in the 5000 towns where the association meetings have been held have been enlightened on the sub Iect of the ballot for women.
 The most important work being done now Is that of obtaining from the Democratic and Republic parties the insertion of aisuffrage plank in their state platform. For this work the CO., operation of every suffragist in Con necticut is earnestly desired. The one thing that every one can do to help is the writing of letters to members of the Central committees and to the can didates for the Legislature. A single letter may have little effect, but the cumulative effect of hundreds of let ters Is greater than can well be real ized.
 The Putnam Franchise league will resume their meetings shortly and bigger and better features may be ex- pected.

Special Town Meeting Appr0priates $20,
 0la for Highways


 A special town meeting was held in the Municipal building Monday after noon for tae purpose 9f making an ap- propiiau5l for highways which is an accepsaula of Jhe states offer topay three quarters Of Iae amount a town appfopr.4tas np 10 tAa amount as ap- propsiate8 By taa legislature for that purpose.
 Chester E. Child was chosen chair man ot tAa meeting. First Seiee.laan (. E. Pierce stated ,aat the town year ago appropriated 5,9a8 Tor higa- ways and the proportion awarded !. ,080, Is what is being neat oa 8oaa- stock avenue. Last Yeaz iaE was pAssed in aaect lhaE whea 2 town has started the improvement of pieee of road and It seems ad lsa0is to conn plete il ana there are no faaIs therefor the town can vote the regular appJa- pualiou ahead of time in anticipation of the stages action and later The usual three quarters of the amount s3 e2s pended wlH be rsfuaded by the state He suid ln8t if the work stops n0a il uiil leave t half completed and tha cost to finish the work in the near fu- lufe will ae much more than b com plele 1t nov while the contractor aad his men and implements are on the ground
 Seleetman EaRue also explained that fhe adt aneed cost of completing she work in the future would be great- CT tAan the interest would amount to on the sum the town woald have to borrow until the state appropriation is made. It was stated that il will take 5,@U more to complete the work, which means an actual expense to the town ol sI ,250. The total expenditure will amount to Sl3,00o.
 The appropriation is one that has been made every two years for nuni- Der of years and in effect is, that for every dollar the town spends upon highways the state spends three which is a good proposition for the town.
 It was voted that the sum De appro- priated and that the selectmen see that the work is carried out. The select men were empowered to borrow the money to complete the work and give the note of the town therefor

WOODSTOCK FAIR
The OId-time Farmers Fair and Cat RTE tie Show.
Entrees in all Departments Promise to
 be Large.

The Woodstock Fair New England s old time farmers fair and cattle show, promises to be a big event this year as entries in all departments are expected to surpass all previous years. The date: September II, entry day, and Septem Der 15 and Is.
 The grounds are delightfully."- situated on high land where there is always a cool breeze. The view is fine, and the drive from Putnam and other sur rounding towns is feature that adds to the pleasure of getting there, as no railroads or trolley lines have as yet invaded Woodstock.
 Once inside the gates and there is enough in the way of amusement to keep one entertained all day.in fact for two days. One usually first enters the exhibition halls and looks over the great variety of exhibits wondering how the judges can decide one is better than the other. Trade exhibits are also made in the hall.
 Up toward the north end will be found the pens containing cattle, horses and swine. The poultry sheds are near by. These are all expected to be we'll stocked this year.
 At the south end are the various lighter amusements and there are plenty of places on the ground where luncheon or refreshment may be had.
 From the grand stand or vehicles be. side the race track and it's enclosure may be seen the varied events that take place there. Draught oxen, blooded stock, driving horses, and many other exhibits that pertain strictly to the farm Then the oell rings for the races and everyone sits up and takes notice. Between the heats there is a number of different features introduced. There is something doing all Of the time and when one gets surfeit of entertainment he needs but to look around and find some friend not seen for some time and have good old-fashioned chat.
 But really it doesn't seem necessary to tell people of eastern Windham county of the many attractions or the good times to be expected at Wood stock fair. The fair itself has been the best advertisement it could have and people are quick to realize when they are getting big value for their money and they know they get it at Woodstock year after year.
 The time is less than two weeks off so we suggest that you make your plans to get away from business at least one day. IL is expected that there won't be much business anyway Tues day afternoon as the business men have in years past co operated with the fair management and given their employes anI opportunity to attend and il will doubtless be the same this year. A half holiday and good time at Woodstock Fair-Something to look forward 10 so begin now.
