F. 1856. oldest son of William Allen and Caroline (Hargrave) At wood, both of whom have passed away His education was obtained in the schools of Kil1ingly, at Friends school and the University Grammar school in Providence and was completed in 1878 at Brown university.
 After completing his education he came back to Williamsville and was given charge of the store conducted by the Williamsville Manufacturing com pany and continued in the position un- dI the death of his father in 1S61 when he became superintendent of the mill and later agent of the company, which for many years made Williams Vile all that it has been as a we'll known manufacturing center.
 The deceased was a descendant of the well known Atwood family that es- abolished the manufacturing business at WlInan1SV1l1e. in fact really created the village. After becoming the head Of the concern his extraordinary abil- 1ty as a business man commenced to manifest itself and in the course of a few years he was rated one of the ShreWdeSt cotton manufacturers in the country. The industry that he direct ed gave steady employment for many years to several hundred people and it's product. a standard of value, became known throughout the country under the name of WilIiamsvilIe sheetings
 Since disposing of his interests at Wl1iiamSville a few years ago, tire duck now being the product of the plant, MT. Atwood has made his home in Danielson, where he has conducted the business of the WilliamsViile Buff Wheel company, factory on School stfeeet, this class of products having been side line at WiIliamsville, but as well known to the trade as were the sheetings. With him here have been associated his sons, Clinton w and Harold B.
 MT. Atwood was one of the prom inent citizens of killingIy ana for years identified with it's public inter eSts. He was elected in 1888 to rep resent the town in the legislature and Tor four years was a member of the town school committed As the head or one of the towns largest industries he was ever interested in the import ant affairs concerning Killing{y'S pub lie policy and he was an influential factor in shaping much of the de- c1siVe action on various matters. In politics MT. Atwood was ever a strong believer in and supporter of the re- publican party.
 In 1878 MT. Atwood married Miss L. Whitford, who survives him, with two sons, Clinton William and Harold E. MT. Atwood also 1eaNes-ae brotheL Mil

 Postmaster Letters has already made his plans to handle the largest Christ mas business ever in the history of the postal service.
 Parcels will be accepted for mailing at the parcel post window during all hours of the day from 6.30 B. m. to 8 D. m. by clerks who will be instruct ed to carefully inspect the wrapping of each parcel, weigh the same and collect the postage.
 Pre- cancelled stamps have been pre- pared in large quantities and one clerk will be detailed to affiX the stamps on the parcels and deliver them to the mailing division where special sacks will be hung for principal cities and railway post offices. Dispatches will be made by nearly every train to keep the office from accommodating too large quantities of parcels. Substitute clerks will be called into the service and at Christmas which Postmaster Letters considers an emergency time regular clerks will be required overtime Suffi- cient to meet the demands of the ser vice. All available substitute carriers will also be called upon to serve and if necessary city carriers will be di- rected to work overtime so that all parcels and other mail matter will be delivered Christmas day.
 parcel post push wagon will be used in the delivery of parcels nearby the post office while teams will be en- gagged to take care of the delivery out side the near business section.
 Rural carriers will not be permitted to let any mail accumulate in the of flee their desks will have to be clear ed each morning and all mail delivered even if their running schedules are not maintained. Rural carriers will serve their routes on Christmas day. The post office will remain open prac- tically all day Christmas except that the divisions of money orders and postal savings will be closed.
 Postmaster Letters suggests: Help out the post office clerks, carriers and all others connected with the service by mailing your Christmas parcels early!"
