The re ceipts, too, were less although this can be nceountcd for in large measure by the bad weather of - the third day. The races for the three days cost about $330 i,n thnoo nf the two days the year before, and the amount of prem iums paid in tne pouiiry, mnu piuu ucts and floral hall departments were slightly more than for. the previous year. On tho other hand thero was a saving of nearly $900 in the caU. de partment, about $200 each in the horse and sheep and swine departments. The bench show given, by the Valley Fair kennel club cost the fair association slightly less this year as did also the dairy department. The tofal amount disbursed in premiums at the fair of 1906 was $924.24 less than in 1905. About $200 was saved in advertising, the printing bill was slightly less and there wns a saving in the amount paid for hay and other feed. .The amount paid for labor, however, was abont $300 more, and slightly more was paid for improvements and repairs than in the previous year. The miscellaneous ac count this year is $2331.35 as against $1978.47 in 1905.'

Sutherland Interested in Norton Shutter Worker. li.ih nw manufacturing concern irou.lv milled to those now in Brat tleboro. "The new company is compos ( T vtrmn R Unlilen and K. W. Sutherland of Brattleboro and James Norton of Springfield, Mass. llicir oo ject is to manufacture the Norton Shutter Worker. The shutter worker is a simple device for the opening and closing the shutters from the inside of n. ,ny. un.l to hold the shutters rigid at any angle. It consists of a sliding bnr which is manipulated from the interior of the honse with a small crank. A shatter is opened or closed easily and remains in any wn, held "fast from banging by the wind nn.t f.nm Tioinur oninpil from the out- auii .. ..-r, --- side. It is easily operated and saves opening windows wnen one i"ri close or open a shutter. The device was invented by Mr. Norton but since he lacked the capital for its exploita tion Mr. Sutherland and Mr. Holden were able to purchase third interests in the patent rights. They nave aireatty piui-i-u uim-u innn nf the shutter workers which will be quickly sold as orders for a part of the number are already booked. Several houses in this town are equipp ,i with them and the owners state that they are highly practical. They sell for about $2 for each window when put in place. For the present the shutters will be manufactured by the Brattleboro Ma chine Works but if sales warrant it tho company will establish a factory of its own. Bid Judges Will Probably Appoint Mr. Morrlfleld'a Successor Today. Assistant Judges Frank Worden of Halifax ami Fred H. I'ier of Jamaica are in Brattleboro today to hear the claims of the various candidates for the office of county clerk. Hineo last week several new candidates have en tered the race, among them being T. E. O'Brien of Bellows Falls, Col. J. II. (lotililiug of Wilmington and Carl H. Hopkins of Brattleboro. Mr. O'Brien is in Brattleboro today with II. D. Kyder of Bellows Falls and a strong plea will Im made In behalf of his candidacy. Mr. O'Brien, it ia under stood, would not move the couuty clerk's ofllee from Brattleboro but would make daily trips from Hollows Falls to this town and eventually take up his residence here. A. W. Butler of Jamaica, who is also seeking the posi tion, is in nrattleboro today. F. D. E. Stowe of this town, who is acting as clerk pending the judges' apiwintment, is an important factor in too contest and has strong support throughout the county. Robert C. Bacon is also sup posed to be a candidate although he has made no active fight for the posi tion. He has the support of several Bellows Falls attorneys who expect that the state's attorneyship would go to C. II. Williams of that town in case Mr. Bacon were appointed clerk.
