AnnuaJ Town Meeting.
The annual town meeting am) town
election was held in A. O- H. hall on
Monday, and passed off very orderly.
It is generally conceded that Put
naui, under normal conditions, is a
"wet" town. Xo public effort was
made to arouse public Inteiest to se
cure “no license." except that all the
ministers of the city were requested to
preach on temperance last Sunday
morning,with which they all complied
Rev. Kr. Van den Noort, the t'athollc
Pastor, heartily joining in. The license
vole fell off 31 from last year's vote.
Throughout the 8tale the license ques
tion was the main issue, the “wets"
lost six towns but gained nine—among
the latter being l>anielson, which last
year went “dry." Strong efforts were
made to maintain no license, but with
out a\ ail.
The business meeting was called to
order at two o'clock by Moderator, L.
H. Fuller.
When the school question was taken
up, the matter of appropriation and
the enlarging or rebuilding of the pres
ent High School caused considerable
discussion.
Wlien clause four of the warrant w as
reached, K. M. Warner, Secretary of j
the School Board, moved that $-1,000!
be appropriated for schools, rii increase
of $3,000 over last year. This motion
was strongly opposed by W. s. John
son and Ueo. A. Vaughan. There was
a lengthy discussion over the question,
in whichI.. Torrev, K. H. Johnson
and l>r. J. It. Kent—members of the
Hoard took a hand, and explained to
the meeting why it was more ex|a>n
si\e to run schools at the present time
than in the past. Mr. Vughan did not
so much question the necessity of the
expenditure, but argued that the town
could not afford it. When the matter
of increasing the accommodation of
the High School was reached, consid
erable of the ground was re-argued.
Mr. Johnson moved that thequestion
be indetinilely posli>oned, but the mo
tion was not carried.
The business transacted was as fol
lows:
\ oted, To authorize the Selectmen
to borrow such sums of money as may
be necessary to defray the ex |>enses of
the town until the next annual meet
ing.
Voted, To permit Elizabeth Porter

Pataa* Fair.
A L-ARUE ATTENDANCE.
The weather, while not perfect to in
fluence people to go a long distance to
attend a Fair,> as still pleasant though
cloudy each forenoon for three days,
but bright with sunahin* In the after
noons. On Wednesday—the great day
—the attendance was claimed to be
about 0,000.
The great feature of the day Wed
nesday was the addressee by 1'. S. Se
nator Frank H. Hr an degee and ex-Uov
ernor Thomas M. Waller, who were
special guests at the Fair. Each spoke
on matters gratifying to their large
crowd of hearers, but avoided all re
ference to the political excitement of
the day, much to the idiaappointment
of some of those present.
The speakers were introduced by
Hon. I’harlesJK. -Selars, who occupied
a place with the speakers In an auto
mobile, from which the latter address
ed their hearers.*
Senator lii^mdegee said he « as pleas
ed to meet his Windham county con
stituents, to whom he felt greatly In
debted. He referred with deep feeling
to the late Charles A. Russell and the
latter's expressed wish that he should
be his successor. He then spoke on
tlie general topics of the day
Kx-tiovernor Waller, afler a happy
reference to his ou n past in connection
with the cilliens of Windham county,
took up the subject of the country's pre
sent condition, expressing his faith
in the honesty, Intelligence and patri
otism of the American [HHiple, and had
the belief that they cannot be jierma
nently discouraged by conditions that
stop business prosperity, but will press
forward to new tiiumphs.
I Hiring the past few weeks we ha\e
described in detail the many attrac
tions provided for the visitors—young
and old—all of which a (lorded them
delight every hour of each day. The
exhibits were large and varies!, many
of which were object lessons that were
instructive and valuable to those who
sought Instruction.
The Kxhibilion building was the
general headquarters for all visitors for
therein was to I* found among the nu
merous exhibits something that grati
fied and delighted each one. It would
be impossible to even name each ex
hibit, let alone describe them. Con
spicuous in the hall were .everal mer
cantile and manufacturing exhibits.
Joseph Slihy had a big showing of
Oriental goods, with many designs of
beautiful needlework. Chester M. Kl
liott liad a line display of the popular
dainty Sorosis sliw for ladies. Tlie
Sterling Itange was show n byt 'handler
,V Morse, ami to demonstrate its bak
ing excellencies, on Wednesday they
baked a barrel of Hour into bread with
less than one hod of coal. The bread
they gave away tire next day to prove
its <{uatily.
The It. I*. Ituglvee Corporation bad a
section in which were shown the ad
[ mired Wooltcx ladies garments and
I other refinements.
I In the exhibition building (Seorge K.
Shaw bad an exhibition of pianos anil
mechanical players, and had sewing
machines in another section.
In the Indies department w as a fine
showing ot paintings and decorated
china, which divided the attention of
[the ladies with the display of cake,
pastry, preserves hihI other table deli
carries. A fine loaf of bread was proud
ly shown as tile production ol .Mrs. K.
S. Buglxe, a venerable lady over ho
years old. And there were many other
things worthy of mention.
The Oxford Nursery company had a
unique exhibit In Kxhibilion hall that
was a very important object lesson
just at tiiis time when so much is said
about forestry cultivation: there were
while pine seeds, cones, and cross sec
tions of pine trees of various years’
growths, each labeled to indicate Its
age. flueh exhibits ought to he encour
aged for the valuable information they
afford. It would add to their impor
tance if at all Fairs people at certain
stated hours could listen to explanato
ry talks by experts.
The same building had a good show
of vegetables, fruit, flowers. Me., some
fine specimens of grapes drawing much
attention. O. E. Rogers, of Thomp
son had some fine rases and some beau
tiful carnations were shown by Frank
