Gently written to Miss Lucia Griffin, a

suffrage. He writes.

old enough to know anything abolt it;
see no more reason why a woman

should not read the papers, understand

military service for her in return for

(if she paid no more attention to pri-

R.. Nj. Reynolds, leading citizen of Monson, shot himself through the right temple Sunday, and died almost instant ly. Peter Ward, the coachman, was the first to discover the tragedy. He went to Mir. Reynolds room to see If the team was wanted, and found his employer lying on the floor. Dr.. Jackson, the family physician, was immediately summoned, and arrived about a o'clock in the after noon. The condition of the body indi- cated that Mir. Reynolds had been dead about half an thour, isoa that the deed must have been done about 1. 30. It is the, opinion of Dr. Jackson, that Mir. Key holds must have been temporarily Insane. The deceased has not:spnjoyed good health for some time, although he was thought to, be gaining, For the past few weeks he has been at his office every day, and nothing unusual was noticed in his conduct. Sunday he seemed as well as at any time since he has been able to be out from his last illness, which was quite severe Mir. Reynolds is a man that will be much missed in Monson. as he had a genius for business. and was an energetic, far-signted man.. With his brother, TheO- dore, he carried on two large woolen mills and u coal business He also ran the straw works at the south end of the town, which employs a large number of hands. He was a power in politics, and has been honored by the town with all the offices within its Rif5 that he has cared to accept. At the time of his death he was president of the Monson National Bank, and one of the presidents of the savings bank. He leaves one brother, Theodore Reynolds. The funeral was held from his late residence this after noon, and was largely attended.
