 We6nesday, with many excuses offered for using the term village in describ- ing such a iive-vire modern community. Having fed their straw hats to the live wtock. the gentry of this community and ethers hereabouts put on their new fall KsileyH, and went over to Brooklyn to sss the fair.
 This is the annual custom-snd may the appeal never grow oldl There sl ssrnething about a fair, particularly the Brooklyn fair, that holds 8 measure of romance and the call of old New Eng land to the average person hereabouts. It ts an occasion not matched by any S. the present day attractions. many Of which are mighty nifty, but lacking an uncertain something that comes but once Iyear and Is furnished only on the fair Trcunds lover there" So i've all go," ls the saying Is here in town-and un- eEilingly enjoy the experience.
 Such a question as Are you going to ths fair?" was rated on a basis with tsse .nnajeste Wednesday, and will be t.. Ray, and only those who have no respect Tor custom and tradition asked It. It Is tAken for granted here, every Brooklyn fair day, that everyone Is going-voald insist on going, in fact, if the Windhan County Agricultural society had not an- ncunced a fair and nothing remained 10 be done but go over and open the gates of the fairgrounds and assume possess sion Of the show field and enjoy the eompanionship of the hundreds who would come from all corners of the county to make their annual visitation with old friends as great joy as ever. When an institution becomes as old as the one in charge of the Brooklyn fair and by it's general all round goodness Srinnda rvof1ld hn 1iftla less than cruelty to the public at large to have it suspended. That possibility Is not now apparent, thank goodness. though in these days of amending the national constitution one never can tell what to expect as to eurtailing pleas ures and putting a ban on someone pr something-the Brooklyn fair, Allah be przised,-excepted
 Sometime since. unworthy peesOns, Identity still unestablished, stole the au- tolnobile of County Detective W. T.. Jackson of Willimantic while he was eating dinner at a New London hotel. Within a few hours the car, happily, was. recovered and eventually returned to ths county official
 MT. Jackson was at the Brooklyn fair Wednesday About every second person 7ut ot the 27 ,000 more or less, attend
 
 jcitiously inquired about the car-much the same as the average person asks after the health of an acquaintance. AT ter weeks of such solicitude this became bit irritating to the usually good-na- tured former member of the state police department a fact that seemed to he known >to some of his close friends, group that insisted on inquiring about the welfare of the car.
 Infreauently. indeed does a new' writer get what is described as inside -stuff about the personal affairs of off1' ,iais. but in this particular case the 56. 100 readers of The Bulletin, more oi ass. in this territory may be informed his morning that Mir. Jaekson's car wa: ,nt on the fairgrounds at Brooklyn or Wednesday Careful investigation es- ahlished that he had left 1t at thu .6unty jail which happens to be il Brooklyn. and a prisoner with whom WI l-- friendly imrarted the information hat f was locked in a cell and the eel ,rS- locked in the office safe. There .om4 news-lf the prisoner told us tn ruth.

Armina .on stood at the Bloody Angle at Get .ysburg a pivotal point in the whole pt -iod of the war. and one of those on tn Union side who so valiantly repelle Picketts famous but forlorn charg This was but one of the desperate CT sasements in which this still active vel sran found himself during the war an { will be a pleasure to all who kno lim to hear that he Is still so vigorou Ss to be able to undertake a reunio tourney that requires his travellngS ha way across the United States to rne' again with those who upheld the unio .auss during the stirring days from '6 Q '65.
 Here's a good one from an America legion publication, particularly interes nE to local people because Commando Walter F. Jacobs, L. s. No is the con handing officer of the destroyer that mentioned in the incident
