Early Friday morning the townspeople
were filled with profound sorrow to learn
Of the death at l a. m. of our genial
and much respected merchant, Clare G.
Hill, in his home after a brief Illness of
nerves of the stomach. The news came a
a heavy blow upon all, as Mr.. Hill had
been i'll only about two weeks, and his
condition was not considered serious
even by his physician.
He was born in Winchester 80 years
ago last October. and had resided in
town 20 years, during which time he was
owner of a blacksmith shop, and later
bought the general mercha ndise store
which he conducted very successfully,
and better quality and more up-to-dat
country store cannot be found He was
the third youngest Of IL children and the
second to pass away. By his death our
village loses one of its brightest and
best young men, of strict integrity, hon
ored by all. We deeply mourn his loss
The funeral took place Monday at 2
p. m. under the direction of Bond &
Son of Brattleboro. Rev G. B. Cornish
of the Methodist church officiate The
esteem in which he was held was shown
by the fact that the whole village was
present, and by the very beautiful floral
display which surrounded the casket.
He leaves to mourn his loss his wife
(Nellie) daughter of the late James H.
Goodrich, besides five brothers and four
sisters, all of whom were present except
Charlotte, who was i'll in South Carolina,
and the whole town, who will ever re-
member his genial disposition and COM
panonship. Burial was in the family
lot in Spofford Truly we can close this
life with no better ending than the ap-
preciative lines.
I'VE shall meet, but we shall miss him
There will be one vacant chair"
Dearly beloved, rest in peace"

have corn and fruit show next fall
While enough aid has been promised to
assure the show, yet in order to make
it a complete success it will be neces-
eary to receive the cooperation of the
Changers, schools, business men and
farmers of this and other towns. Ca
pable persons will be chosen from the
towns to act as advisory committee and
to create an Interest in their COMMUNE
ties.
This is the first step in movement

that the best exhibits may be chosen
for the big shows. All communications
should be addressed to L. D. Ingall, Sec
rotary of the Putney Grange.
