wooNsockET COMPANY
Said to Have Leased the Brigham Mill
at Elmviiie.

II a story that was whispered We'd
nesday proves true, Killingly will get
a most valuable industry. The story
is that the Dunn Worsted company of
Woonsocket has purchased the Brig
ham mill at Elmville, now occupied un-
der lease by the Pine Tree Worsted
company. and that it will soon take
over the property. Jere Emory, man
ager for the Pine Tree company, was
not at the mill Wednesday and the
story could not be verified. The
statement of the transfer, however, is
made from reliable sources and men in
touch with mill business. In connec-
ton with the matter II is stated that
the. Dunn company, one of the most
prosperous In New England, will re
move the present machinery which has
for the most part seen more than 20
years of service. remodel the interior
of the plant build an addition and
install an entiret new mechanical equip
ment The Dunn company has an en-
vialble high rating. They manufacture
a high grade of worsted cloths and are
always rushed to keep abreast Of their
orders. Their Woonsocket plant with
$50 looms has been busy all through
the period of depression. They employ
family help. pay good wages and
bring with them an assurance of pros
perity. 1t is said that the Elmville
hands under the new management 1t
is known that the Pine Tree company
has investigated other mill properties
In this vicinity during the past few
weeks. No statement, however, is
made as TO what changes this concern
will make If tHe Dunn purchase rroves

orally Observed.

Cape Town, Dec. 16.-For the first
time in history Dingaans Day was
celebrated today as IA public holiday in
all of the states comprising the new
South African union. Originally the
observance of the day was confined
exclusively to the Transvaal, as it
was intended to commemorate the
anniversary of the overthrow of the
Zulu forces by Pretorious in 1888, anil
later was associated with the procla-
nation of Boer independence in 1880
and the public funeral of Paul Kruger
in 1904. By common consent it has
been decided that the special racial
signifance shall no longer attach to
the observance of the day, and that in
future Dingaan's Day shall be cele-
brated as a general day of thanksgiv-
ing for the progress of white ciViliza-
