misty in the afternoon, but a good
time is reported. The dinner at the

good order prevailed. :....s
Theadule Poirier, 70, died Monday

chronic gastritis. He leaves three

The fire at the Faulkner mills last
week Wednesday morning, Mr.. Faulk-
ner thinks, was undoubtedly set by an
incendiary, as it appears to have
started from the outside just after the
watchman made his round. What the
motive for such an act could be is a
mystery, for if it was intended to
harm Mr.. Faulkner it would surely
fail of such effect, for he is fully in
sured against such contingency, and
if the mills were burned they proba-

loss of employment to so many hands
who wish to make their home here
and the loss of business to this town,
which needs more industries instead
of removing one of it's most active
mills, would be seriously felt to the
regret of all residents and persons in
terested in the welfare of this COM
munity.
