is employed to represent one, two or
three firms, to solicit and receive or
ders on commission for their goods,

| SAWYER COY

One Of the Oldest veterans of Wor-
cester was buried yesterday, and many
of his old comrades who were with him
through the shot and shell Of the war

held in Central Church. They were at
tended by griZzled veterans of the re-
bellion, the terrific conflict that made
IT possible that united nation should
later offer it's sons for humantty's
cause in distant sea grit isles.
His old comrades were there, and
many a silent tear was dropped as the
ceremony that spoke the transition
from mortal to immortal conditions
was performed. The old fighters of the
6lst and 57th volunteers had secured
the regimental colors from the cases in
the city hall and in the church, where
everything was sad and silent they
were unfurled to wave for time over
the body of one who had given much
that they and the nations flag might
be preserved.
The services were held at 2 o'clock.
Grand Army men and Masons were
present in numbers. George H. Ward
Post 10, of which Mr. Mcfarland was
a member, attended in a body Rev.
Daniel Merriman conducted the serv-
ices and the singing was by the Ma

GOOD NEWS
Soldiers of the
Second
TAKE NOTICE
Mastering Out Takes Place
at Local Armory.

Inquiry at the state house has elected
authoritative information the the va
rious companies Of the I'd regiment,
Massachusetts volunteers, will be mus
tered out at their respective armories
instead of at Springfield as previously
expected. This change in the original
plan as announced to the soldier boys
in The Spy this morning, will be
learned with intense satisfaction by the
volunteers In this city. Companies A.
c. H. of the I'd regiment, which are
worcester companies, viii assemble at
the armory Nov. Sd, and there, after re-
ceiving final payment, will formally be
mustered out. Thus many of the SOL
diers who would have been too sick
to go with their companies to Spring
field, will be able to appear at the To-
cal armory.
Other companies of the I'd regiment
Will be mustered out at their respective
armories.
Various reasons have entered into the
change in the plan which had orig
inally been adopted, and the results
OF the plan will be so evident that few
If any Of the troops will express them
selves in any but words Of great sat
isfaction.
The state would provide no funds for
the transportation Of the troops to
Springfield, and further, as the expen-
ses Of the transportation of all the
companies Of this regiment and others
would not be borne by the United
States government, the expense of the
trip to Springfield would have had to
come from the pockets of the soldiers
themselves.
BY the new arrangement for the
mastering out of the companies at their
home armories Nov. Sd, this expense
and the trouble and preparation incl
dental to trip to Springfield will be
obviated. The comfort Of the soldiers
has been taken into consideration, and
when the local companies are mustered
out at the local armory, TIE people Of
the city will have full opportunity to
do honor to their soldier boys when
they assemble in cononanv u1larters

Mrs. James S. Abcrn, Mrs. Stephen c.

After the regular routine business
had been disposed of, there was dis,
cussion as to the best methods to pur-
sue in regard to historical investiga>
ton during the winter. While no ac-
ton was taken in the matter, it was
the sense of the meeting that the read
ing of formal papers and theses should
be dispensed with, and social and fra
ternal gatherings held instead.
Although this chapter has been in ex-
istence but year, it has steadily
grown and possesses an abundant
treasury. There was movement in
the spring toward an historical exli-
bition Of local curios, and 1t is posi-
Bile that something along that line may
be attempted the coming winter. The
