Death or Mrs. william A. Cole.

A veil of sorrow fell upon this commun-
ity last Saturday night, when there came
from Holyoke, Mass, the sad news of the
death of Mrs. William A. Cole of this
town. 1t was known that her condition
was critical, and, Notwithstanding the
hopeful view of the Holyoke physicians,
all our townspeople were waiting with
anxiety for news from her bedside, for they
had reason to believe that her case would
terminate just as it did.
During last September Mrs Cole was
affected with symptoms of paralysis, and
although she fully recovered this was I'M
doubtedly forerunner of what was to fol-
low. On Dec. IL Mrs. Cole went to Hol-
yoke to visit her daughter, Mrs. X. G..
Winchester, and on Monday, Dec. -, they
went to Boston. On Wednesday they re-
turned to Worcester and on Thursday Mrs.
Winchester returned home, leaving Mrs.
Cole to visit her sister, Mrs. Sophia Frost,
in Worcester. On Saturday Mrs. Cole
started for Springfield, where she was to
be met by Mrs. Winchester. When near
Springfield her left side was stricken with
paralysis and her speech was affected. She
was able to reach the Holyoke train with
assistance, but she rapidly became worse,
and upon reaching Holyoke she was en-
til Thursday, when she rallied and her
condition gave much encouragement, but
on Friday afternoon another shock came,
affecting the base of the brain. She died
at $3.50 o'clock the following day.
Funeral services were held last Monday
evening in Holyoke, where she had a large
circle of acquaintance, Rev. Mr.. Winch of
Holyoke officiating. The body was brought
to Putney on the noon train Tuesday and
funeral services we're held at the house at
2 o'clock, Rev. F. II. Rowley of Fall River
and Rev. f. NJ. Wiswall of Putney officiat-
ing. The burial was in Mount Pleasant
cemetery.
Mrs. Lucy A. Cole was one of Is chill
.dren of Mason and Alice Lamb and
was born on Tyler hill in Vernon. She
lived in Vernon until she was married in
1858, when she came to Putney, and for
nearly 40 years she has been resident of
this village, and for many years was
faithful member of the Congregational
church. She leaves two daughters, Mary,
wife of Reuben G. Winchester of Holyoke,
and Jennie, wife of Herbert l.. Pierce OF
this village. She also leaves the following
brothers and sisters; Mrs. Mandana Scott OF
Brattleboro, Mrs. Roxanna Kenney OF
Perkinsvile, Mrs. Sophia Frost of Worces-
ter, Mass, Mrs. Betsey Weatherhead OF
Guilford, benjamin Tyler of Stacyville, Ia,
and Joseph and Albert Lamb of Green
field, Mass. Mrs. Cole possessed remark
able symmetry of character, and the crown
ing comfort of her life was her home. She
had learned lifes supreme lesson-the les
son of unselfishness. She was one who
had walked with God, woman whose
creed was the unfaltering faith OF the
Christian,

When Antonio Maceo met his death,

throuph the villany of one of his own com

had been lured into ambush under nag OF

there were in consequence Incorporate de-
nnnciations of Spain and demands that the
limited States should Immediately enter

ratained her sway, and the truth was re-

Pension Attorneys Have a DemOraIiE-
Ing Influence.

The most demoralizing feature of the
pension system is the existence of $4,000
pensio attorneys. The ordinary pension
attorney is worse than the most pestifer-
GUS 'varmint" that ever invaded hen
roost.
If there are frauds on the pension rolls
they have been planted there by the pen
sion attorney He it is that persuades
the applicant to file claim, leads him to
believe that the government has his name
on the roll and only awaits his application;
gives him to understand that the attorney
is regularly commissioned and authorized
and especially empowered to hunt up this
particular missing soldier; tells him that
all other soldiers have applied and obtained
their money, and adds that, "if you don't
get yours, you are to blame. Pension

There is a prospect that Putnev Falls

ham county. 1t is proposed now bv Ros.
ton man, who is well known here. to bring
about the building of corn canning factory
on the present site of Mr.. Pierce's mill at
cost of from SIS, 900 to $40 900 and with
a capacity of from IS to 100 hands during
the canning season. Negotiations are now
in progress with a Maine man for the mr.
chase of the site and it is expected that he
will come here soon to look over the stua-
ton. Excellent water power is obtainahle
during the season when it would be most
needed for canning purposes and it il
thought that the corn from 600 To 900
acres would be brought to the factory.
This would come largely from the Putnev
meadows, from this village, Dummerston.
and from Westmoreland, N. H., If a bridge
could be built across the Connecticut river.
There is an excellent site for bridge in
front of George T, Aplin's house where
the toll bridge stood years ago and several
men have already signfied their willing
ness to contribute largely toward its con-
structon. One Westmoreand man, who
has recently died. offered to contribute
5000 few years ago toward the construc.
ton of bridge at the point mentioned.
The proprietors of tn. Westminster can.
ming factory looked over the Putney Falls
facilities before deciding where to build,
but, although Westminster is better To-
