many beautiful floral tokens were re- ce1ved. Mir. and Mrs. Wood felt no i'll effects from the excitement of the day, but were tired and happy as the last guest departed.
 Edwin R. Wood, oldest son of Fran eis B. and Sophia (Hall Wood, was born in Ludlow, Mass, Nov. 3, 1883, and will therefore be sz years old next November. At the age of years he went to live with his uncle, William R. Hall, in the town of Chaplin, remain ing there until 1s4e, when he removed to Putnam. which at that time was known as Pomfrct Factory. In early life he learned the shoemakers trade, but followed it but short time, pre- ferring the outdoor life of a farmer, which he followed for many years, and was actively engaged in conducting his farm until four or five years ago, when his youngest son took charge to relieve his father of some of the heavy burden.
 On July 1e, 1862, Mir. Wood enlisted three year term. He was taken pris- oner at the battle of Winchester on June 15. 1883. and was confined in Libby prison and Belle Island until July 2, when he was exchanged He continued with his company until Jan. IS, 1884. when he was wounded, losing his right leg at the battle of Lynch burg. Va, at which time he was again taken prisoner. He remained in a rebel prison hospital until September, 1864, when he was again exchanged and transferred to the Union hospital st Annapolis. Owing to his disability he received his honorable discharge from the army on May 4, 1885.
 MT. Woods first wife was Miss Har- riet White. Three children were born of this union, Albert Edwin died in infancy, twins, Joseph R., who now re- sides in Rochester, N. Y., and Jerome, pastor of the Methodist church in Natick. Mass.
 July s. 1865, MT. Wood married Ab- bic E. Cruf. who was born in Burriil- vile, R. l., Feb. g, 1s43, only daughter of Artemus and Esther Cruff, and is now in her 73d year. By this union two sons were born, Elmer C., who resides in Attawaugan, in the town of Killingly, and Edwin L., who lives at the parental home and has charge of the farm.
 MT. Wood has always been a repub- lican in politics and has served his town in several capacities, being a justice of the peace for several years and a member of the high school com mittee at the time the first high school building was built in the town, and continued in office for several years thereafter. Both Mir. and Mrs. Wood have been members of the Putnam Methodist church almost from the date of their marriage. Mir. Wood was su- perintendent of the Sunday school for several years. He has served many years as a steward and trustee of the church.

LIBRARY COMPETITION Battle of Ballots Goes Merrly On PUTNAM HIGH SCHOOL NOW PARAMOUNT With Other Contestants Coming Forward Rapidly
 L DEsAUTEL JOINS MERCHANTS LIST

@ The developments the past few days have been most remarkable as the figures reveal. Each new bit of news incorporated in our weekly chats with voters seems to find a general response which Is we'll, for to be reasonably safe in your stand ing as the weeks fly by. you should school your friends to the idea of reading The Bulletin every Friday and acting independently upon any proposition made without waiting for some leaders in the work to irl- form them.
 The results today prove the po- tentiality of Red Letter voting and take the writer's word for 1t, the wonderful advance is that of be- ginner compared to what you will see as each week moves on.
 The Putnam High School has at leadership. The way these pupils, with the aid of the folks at home. have set themselves to the task is admirable indeed.
 Cereal Packages, Gold Medal Butt ter Wrappers, Coffee Cans and Tea Packages, as well as Soap Wrap pers, Cigarette, Spearmint Gum and Bulletin Coupons came in generous numbers for the High School. which along with the liberal buying they have done places them at the head of the roll of honor today.
 L. Desautei Joins Merchants List
 No doubt our voters will be glad to learn that MT. L. Desauteps Milk Bread Wrappers will now be re- deemed at ten votes each for there is not e bakers bread more taste full and wholesome than Milk Bread and this being the case every voters home should be a consumer of same. The value of these wrap pers being ten votes should con- vince any set of workers that danger turks in the wake of the contestant failing to bring about the general understanding that this is now the bread to buy.
 The Groeers and Markets important
 It may be that you have not con- sidered what it means to you to vote the food purchase. This rep resents the heaviest disbursement of the home, and naturally the largest field for voting. With Ed ward w. Mullan and Charles A. Richards representing the Compe- tition grocers and market, both 90 well known, there Is ample room for selection and the voting will consequently multiply fast for you.

CHINESE INSPECTOR
Takes Wong Lee to Hartford to Secure
 Alleged Credentials.

John A. McCabe, from Boston, United States Chinese inspector for the New England district, came here Thursday morning at the head of a group of four members of his department, visited the laundry of Sam Lee in Elm street and took into custody one of the employees at the place-one Wong Lee, or Tee. Wong was incarcerated at the police station until early afternoon, when he was taken over to Hartford to undergo a closer inquiry than was made into his case here. Wong was shy of cre- dentials properly accrediting him 10 this country when the inspectors made their call, and Inspector McCabe said that Wong would be required to show papers. which he claims he has in Hartford. or that further investigation relative to how he came to be in the country would be made. This was the second visit here within a short time of the Chinese inspectors ,who are keeping close tabs on Chinese in east ern Connecticut towns.
 At the laundry Thursday afternoon Sam Lee said that Wong has been in his employ for about a year and that he came here from Hartford. Wong will be back here next week, maybe to- morrow" declared Lee, who seemed very confident that his employe would, at Hartford, be able to produce the necessary credentials. Wong, who speaks very little English, didn't do much talking at any time. He is about 30 years of age.
