The weather is very unusual for
January. Sunday was a springlike
day, and the THERMOMETERS registered
40 in some parts of the town. Mon
day and yesterday we're warm and
damp. The ice men have had no op-
portunity to gather the crop, but there
is time enough yet. Smith & Cooley
filled their house last week with ice
about 9 inches thick from Bakers
pond. As far as known this is the
only house filled thus far this season.
Miss Ella Phynetta Harris, daugh-
ter of Mrs. Mary F. Harris, was

afternoon at 4 O'Clock at Boston to
Thomas Frederick Mullen by Rev.
J.. p. Mullen. The wedding was per-
formed in the presence of relatives
and intimate friends and was a very
pretty ceremony. The bride was at
tired in white satin trimmed with
white duchess lace, and carried bridal
roses Following the ceremony a
dinner was served the wedding party
at Hotel Vendome. Mr.. and Mrs
Mullen have gone south for an ex-
tended wedding trip, and will be lat
home ON Grant avenue after April
4th.
John Murray, employed at the
Faulkner mill, is in line for Car
negie medal, as he saved little SON
of Fabiano Pallanck from drowning
Monday. Mr.. Murray is a spinner at
Faulkner's mill, and as he was wait
ing for spools he decided to go home
for time. As he was going up the
track he heard cries for help from
women on the other side of the pond, |
and saw the boy in the water. Quick
ly getting a clothesline he went to
the rescue. On his first effort the ice
broke with him and let him into 10 |
feet of water. The next time he was
more successful and managed to get
the rope ON the boy. The victim re-
eeived medical attention and was
- ~
at his work yesterday none the worse
for his experience. This is the Sec
ond life he has saved.
The roof is ON the Eaton block and
the work of getting the stores ready
will be pushed. Fl. s. Abel has de-
cided not to engage in the clothing
business, and James Warren has hired
the store. Mr.. Warren is too we'll
known in Stafford to need any intro
duction. He has been in the employ
of Mr.. Abel q long time and is popu-
lar with the trade. He is thoroughly
eonversant with the business and will
undoubtedly do good business. He
expects to open about March LIST. W.
E. Hanley will also be back at the
old stand about March 1sG with new
fixtures and big, new stock of foot
wear. Joseph Clark will return to
his old stand, but may be delayed a
little longer than the others. His
shop will be made a little smaller
than before, as an entrance and stair
way leading to the rooms above will
be put in where one of his show win
dows is at present.
