factories averages ten per cent. although in
many Blackstone valley towns it is stated
it ranges from six to 18 per cent. according

OBITUARY.

About 3S years ago young man stepped
ashore from the schooner Cameo by invita-
tion of Capt. Tewksbury Elwell, in whose
service he was. He gratefully accepted the
| invitation and accompanied the captain
home. His genial qualities soon won for
him the friendship of the people of the vii
lage and ever after NorthpOrt became his
permanent residence. By strict attention
to his calling as seafaring man he rose to
the position of first officer, and during his
many years of sea service he was always
held in high regard by every commander he
sailed with. Such is brief sketch of the
late James Brohan, whose 81 years OF activ-
ity closed at 3 o'clock Tuesday morning,
Nov. 18th, having first seen the light at
Mystic, Conn. About six months ago he
complained of a bad internal feeling, but
thinking that local physicians would bring
relief he did not anticipate any serious re-
suits. AS they failed to bring relief he was
taken to the Massachusetts General Hospl-
tai in Boston, where his case was at once
pronounced too critical to be operated upon.
SO he returned to his home and reSgnedly
awaited the end, which at last was calm
and peaceful. good citizen has gone and

was in this happy home he was best known
and where his true worth as friend and
neighbor were most fully appreciated, as
was his strict integrity and honesty OF char
acter. His deeds of kindness were more
numerous than even his most intimate
friends were aware OF, as he was man
particularly averse to oStentation. For the
past five years he was employed at the nj
versity Press in Cambridge, Mass, but the
steady advance of his disease compelled
him to retire from active work. His busy
life and gracious presence in the home make
his death an intensely severe blow to his
wife and daughter. Services we're held at
the church Nov. 10th and were largely at

with words of consolation and hope. The

Mrs. George Young received a telegram
Sunday informing her of the death of her
brother, Shepard S. Bagley, at his home in
ST. Paul, MINI. Mr.. Bagley was born in
Liberty, Aug. 26, 1898, and was the oldest
son of the late Samuel and Mehitable
