He is William Clachrie, a painter and a member of Clan Les lie. He is very well known and es- pecialiy among the Scotch residents that frequently listened to him play ing Scotch airs on the bagpipes \ mum Der of friends were at the rail- way station to wish him good luck and safe return
 Anncuncement has been made by the New Haven road to the managements of county and state fairs that, during September, the extra service usually provided may not be possible this year. This is necessitated by the fact th:. the railroads. in order to cooperate with the government. must give pref erence over all other traffic to the movements of troops to the training camps.
 The New England troops will move throughout this section early in Sep tember.
 Many fairs are to be held next month in New England, and, while the knows the dates of these fairs. it is uncertain concerning the dates of the troop movements until of hcially notified by the government
