by Burning Barn.

Guy j. Darling son of Mrs. Harriet
Darling of this town died at his home
in Greenfield, Mass, Monday morning
after an illness of only few days with
general peritonitis. Mr.. Darling was
born in this town 2S years ago and re-
ceived his education in the public
schools here. A number of years ago
he went to Greenfield to live having
found employment in the machine
shop of F. E. Wells G. Son of that
place. He was young man of rare
abilities which early attracted the at
tention of his employers and through
faithfulness and a strict attention to
business he soon worked himself up to
position of honor and trust.
He was member of the Methodist
church and Sunday school where he
was also an earnest and faithful work.
er and here his loss will be keenly felt.
He lived in strict accordance with his
religious belief and was one of those
few who endeavored to make every
move in life an effort for the uplifting
and betterment of his fellowmen He
gave much to charity, share of all
his earnings being laid aside for this
worthy purpose. In fact, so pure and
clean was his whole life, even from
childhood, that he seemed almost like
a special messenger from God, set up
on earth as a model for humanity. He
was of very affable nature, making
friends wherever he went and it might
be truly said he was without an enemy
in the world. A few years ago Mr.
Darling was married to daughter of
Mrs. AlonZo Reynolds of Greenfield
who with one child survives him. He
also leaves mother, Mrs Harriet
