PUTNAM

 hold tke annual exhibition, which was postponed for the second time this sea son.
 There was disappointment here, as in Woodstock and in other surrounding towns, because the opportunity is gone to l hear an address by Everett J. Lake, re- publican candidate for governor, who was | to have talked at the fair Thursday. Mir. Lake renewed many old acquaintances, | leaving during the afternoon to fill en- l agreements having to do with his party's campaign. MT. Lake and State Treasur-
