HINSDALE, N. H.
High school Team Defeated,

The High school foot ball eleven lost
their first game this season to the Brattle
boro High school team last Saturday after
noon on Taylor's field Brattleboro had
considerably the advantage in weight, and
the Hinsdale boys were handicapped by
having had practically no systematic
coaching. Neither side was able to score
in the first half, but in the second half Brat
tleboro secured two touchdowns, from one
of which goal was kicked, leaving the
score at the end of the game II to 0 in
favor of the visiting team. Whitman
made both touchdowns for Brattleboro af-
ter long runs around Hnsdale's left end
For the home team II. II. Jeffords, Nc
Caughern and Captain Dawson played es-
pecially we'll II. Jeffords was everywhere
with the ball, and came in for large share
of the attention of the spectators. The
visiting team conducted themselves in a
very sportsman-like manner, which will do
much to encourage a friendly rivalry be-
tween the two places. The spectators
we're few in number, and it would seem
that the townspeople should take more in
terest in the attempts of the boys to further
the interests of healthy sport.

The Fire District Meeting.

The annual meeting of the fire district
was held in the town hall Wednesday even
ing and was largely attended. The report
of the treasurer, A. j. Aver, showed that
the district had received an appropriation
of $500 from the town and between $500
and 5000 from individual subscribers. OF
that amount about 5000 was paid for a
steam pump, 1894 for steam connection,
$204 for pipe and $64 for hydrants, and
numerous other bills were paid, leaving
SIS in the treasury. 1t was shown that
the towns appropriation was not paid un-
til Oct. T. that the pump and material did
not arrive until late and that there are
subscriptions amounting to S115 still I'M
paid, for which reasons the prudential
committee were unable to have the system
established earlier. The district has a
good start, however, and has two hydrants
and 1000 feet of pipe to put in as soon as
the necessary money is collected. These
officers were elected: Clerk, A. NJ. Corser

WINDHAM.
Death of Mrs. II. M. BemIs.

Mrs. Francina NJ. (Upham) Bemis, who
died Oct. 20, was born in Windham Sept.
81, 1881 She was the eldest daughter of
Gardner Upham, who died Sept, 20, 1899,
at the advanced age of l0l years. In 1850
she moved with her family to Grafton,
which was her home until 1859 when she
married Henry NJ. Bemis and returned to
Windham, which has since been her home.
She attended Leland and Gray seminary
and also Kimball Union academy, where
she fitted herself to make a successful
teacher, and her memory is still cherished
by those who were her pupils. For over
80 years she was valued teacher in the
Sunday school and the truths there taught
still live in the hearts and minds of those
who were under her instruction. Those
who knew and loved her best feel that they
have lost wise counsellor and true friend
During the last few years of her life she
suffered intense pain, which she ever bore
with patience and that strength which can
come alone from Christ, in whom she put
her whole trust. She fed continually on
the word of God taking each day some
precious promise on which to lean. Many
friends unite with her husband and two
sisters in mourning her departure.

THE PUTNEY COLUMN,
The Cole Paper Mill.

Extract From an Article in "The Peper
Mill" About One OF the Best Built and
Equipped Toilet Mills In the Country.
A recent issue of 1.-THE Paper Milf, con.
tanned an article by its travelling CORE
spondent upon the w. A. Cole paper mill
of this town, illustrated by half tone cut
of the mill made from photograph by A.
NJ. Corser. The substance of the article
was as follows: "The other day was a Wis
itor in the town of Putuey, VT, and seldom
has it been my pleasure to step into a
paper mill where everything connected
with the manufacturing of toilet paper
seemed to be so well arranged and in such
good working order as in the mill of the
W. A. Cole Paper company, incorporated.
in that town. This business was estab.
lished in 1880 by William Cole and others.
and run successfully until April 25, 1896
when it was totally destroyed by fire. A
new mill was built at once and started
Jan. l, 1896. | have been told many times
that this new mill was by common con-
sent one of the best built aud equipped
mills in the country, and in looking it
over | find the above statement is not ex-
aggerated
''In March, 1899, the William A. Cole
Paper company was incorporated with a
paid up capital of $50, 900, with ]. H. Kim.
ball, president, W. S. Adams vice-presi-
dent and William A. Cole treasurer The
mill is of brick and is built on firm
foundation which will stand for many
years to come. The departments are
Toomy, convenient and we'll lighted by
windows on every side. All the machinery
is up-to-date and in thorough repair.
The power is three-eighths water and FIVE
eighths steam, and in dry seasons the
mill can be run wholly by steam. A suit
able dynamo furnishes electric lights and
through the long nights gives the mill a
cheerful appearance to the passer-bv. The
production monthly is from 1000 to 1900
cases of toilet paper and from 25 to 80
tons of ream tissue, and right here let me
say that they put up some of the finest toilet
paper l ever saw, not the harsh, woody
kind, but with a soft, velvet finish which
is produced by the stock used for this
special paper.
another feature which was forcibly i'm.
pressed upon my mind is the clear spring
water used in the process of making the
paper, which in my mind, is factor fol
this kind of paper which few mills car
supply. The large orders on hand for ex.
port and domestic trade go to show that
this mill is bound to be one of the leader:
in the toilet paper line"

Found $4,000 In Bonds.

No Klondike gold mine ever yielded so
much value in so short period as sudden
ly and unexpectedly came into the posses
sion of Fred E. Robertson last Saturday.
Mr.. Robertson had been in New York dur
ing the week on business for the Robertson
paper mill. On entering the car at New
York for the return trip he hung his satchel
up on the side of the car and soon after
ward he and three other men arranged for
a game of whist. The last man to go into
the game was from Hartford, Conn, and
as he seated himself with the others he
put his satchel, which closely resembled
Mr.. Robertson's, in the seat behind him.
On arriving in Hartford the Hartford man
arose and left the car, taking Mr. Robert
sons satchel, and the mistake was not
noticed until the train was some distance
from the city. Mr.. Robertson opened the
satchel, hoping to find some means of iden-
tifying the owner, and he found, besides
other articles of value, $4,000 worth
of bonds. The stranger found Mr.. Rob
ertson's name in the satchel which he
took and he Immediately telegraphed the
owner. In this way the two men were
able to locate their property, and on Mon
day the satchels were forwarded by express

Sees strange sights and grows used
to them in time, no doubt.
Even our ugly hanson automo-
biles will soon cease to surprise him;
but he never can understand why
people are willing to drink poor,
health-menacing coffee when the
best the world produces is easily
obtained.
When we speak of the best coffee,
we of course refer to the kind sold
by Chase & Sanborn. Their Seal
Brand Java and Mocha is famous
for its excellence, and their high
grade coffees which come packed in
parchment lined richly colored bags
are in great demand.
The greatest care in selection and
packing is exercised.
With coffee pure like this, more
enjoyment is experienced. No dan
ger to health need be feared.
These coffees produce that deep
port wine color before cream, and
golden after cream, so much desired
by coffee lovers.
