marks on the subject, "What the

to the auditorium of the church,
where very able address was given
by Rev. G. Ellery Reed of Sher-

tinctive Marks of a Church." While
not as largely attended as in some in
stances, this meeting of the club was
of great interest and benefit to all
concerned.

Old Blair and DeLarm Mill Burned.

At noon Thursday the buildings of
the old union Bobbin Works, situated
at the south end of the railroad bridge
were found to be on fire, and the en-
tire plant was consumed in short Or
der, producing one of the most spec
tacular fires seen in this section in
years. The mill which was last oc-
cupied and operated by the Blair and
DeLarm Veneer company was practi-
cally dismantled, the machinery with
the exception of pump and the engine
and boilers, having been recently sold
and moved away, and portions of the
structure were IN state of decay.
The plant covered about one fourth of
an acre, and was two stories high with
large elevator in the center and as it
was allowed to burn practically I'M
restrained from lack of fire protection
in that section of Glen Derby, the
effect was magnificent and awe-in-
spring. By extreme good fortune,
the wind was in the northeast, which
seldom occurs, and the tiremen were
able to protect surrounding dwellings
so that practically no other damage
resulted. AS an asset to the COM
munity this mill has never proved of
much value as every concern that has
attempted to operate there has met
with financial disaster. The property
eventually fell into the hands of o. G..
Miller, who has made every endeavor
compatible with good business man.
agement to make out of it something
of benefit to himself and the commun-
ity, but with no success. 1t would
therefore seem, that even if the
money loss is considered, both the
community and Mr.. Miller have been
relieved of a hoodoo. Mr.. Miller car
ried about $4,000 insurance, at the
time of the fire. though up to six
months ago he had carried about
S12. 000 but the policies had been al
lowed to lapse. The origin of the fire
is mystery. but it might have been
caused in many ways. Attempts have
been made to keep the buildings
closed and locked, but this has been
unsuccessful in a large measure and
the mill was a mecca for gents of the
road who might have been responsible
for the fire. The site was swept
practically clean of debris and there
is now chance to build up another
industry on the spot. Let US hope
that this may soon be done and that
the new industry whatever it may
prove to be will be as successful as
the old one was unfortunate.

Mrs. G.. F. Ranney.

Much sadness is felt in town for the
death of Mrs. C. F. Ranney, which
occurred suddenly Thursday night at
the home Of Mrs. E. E. Whitaker.
Mrs. Ranney had not been in the best
of health for some time, having ex-
perienced slight shock of paralysis
some months ago, but was as well as
usual up to the day of her death. She
had been visiting her son, Will, at
Penacook. N. H., and started for
home Thursday morning. She expert
enced an attack of neuralgia of the
heart while on the train and was in a
serious condition on her arrival here,
and steadily grew worse until her

Mrs. Ranney had recently broken up
their home here, having sold their
house to the Congregational society,
and intended for the present to board
at Mrs. Whittaker's. Caroline D.

Both Mr.. and Mrs. Ranney have been
prominent in church work for many
years, being members of the Congre-

friends, neighbors and acquaintances,
who extend to the bereaved husband
and son their deepest sympathy.

School Directors Meeting.

Mason S. Stone, state superinten-
dent of education, met the school di-
rectors of the county at the Goodrich
library on Thursday of last week.
The meeting was quite generally at
tended and was for the purpose of &C.
quainting the Directors with the new
ways applicable to their particular
duties as well as the discussion of
problems of everyday occurrence.
The scheme for transportation of pu-
pills is one that has to be worked out
in all towns and Supt. Stone told very
entertainingly of his experiences in
the investigation of methods during
his visits about the state. These
meetings must prove of much benefit
to all directors through interchange
of ideas and new ideas regarding
their very important work.
