Another business change of import ance was announced Monday morning. This involves the sale of the Ballard and Clark business, minus the under taking, to Alexander Gilman and Com pany, new concern. Newton A. Bal lard, who has heen the sole owner of the Ballard and Clark business since A. M. Clark, now of Salem, Mass. re- tired from the firm ten years ago Inst March, said Monday morning that he had disposed of the hardware and furniture parts of his business to Gil- man and company, but that he would retain the undertaking for himself. Mir Ballard has been engaged in business in Putnam for 22 years. and has been very successful.
 Alexander Gilman. head of the new company, is Putnam's postmaster. in which office he will continue. The store is to be closed on the night of November 22. that an inventory may be made. and will not reopen until December, when Gilman and com pany will take charge.
 Burglars blew the door of the safe | at the East Woodstock post office apout o'clock Sunday morning and got away with money. stamps and war savings stamps to the amount of l ice burglary in territory hereabouts for quite long time. The East Wood- stock post office is located in Bos- worth'a ster~ at that place and George | Bosworth is the postmaster. It was I stated at the store Monday morning that persons resident in the neigh !, borhood heard heavy explosion about a. m: Sunday but no one. it c.n- 1 pears. made any attempt to investi- | gate it's cause at that time The fact | that the safe had been blown and it's |, most variable contents taken did not | become known until later in the morn i ing. No suspicious characters had been seen about the place it was stat 1 ed on Monda:'. All of the Woodstoeks i were much interested in a happening l of 2 very unusual nature for that town and on Monday the burglary was the topic of general discussion
