the meantime the residents of North Wintlham were doing all that was pos, sible, and when it was seen that the mill could not be saved, their attention house and sheds and the boiler house.
 Fifty Bales of Cotton Saved.
 About fifty bales of cotton were re- moved from the sterehouse to a place of safety as it looked as if that build ing would go. c. J. Kirby of the Mans field Hollow mills brought over a gang ef his men, who turned in and helped the firemen and volunteers. The boiler house could not be saved, however, but the sheds and storehouse were, al- though on fire al one time.
 Totally Destroyed.
 The mill fell in shortly after 2 o'clock, and an hour later there was nothing left of it and the boiler house but bed of coals.
 During the strenuous work of the fire fighters hot coffee was served to them by the families of E. H. Hall and his son, L. F. Hall.
 Mill Site for Century.
 The mill was the oldest manufactur- ing plant in North Windham and stood on land which had been used as a mill site for the last century. For about 20 years paper mill stood there, which was converted into a cotton mill in 1881 and destroyed by fire in 1860.
 The present mill was erected soon thereafter and in S62 was leased to Merrjck Bros for the manufacture of thread. It was bought by the late E. Fl. nali and his son. the present E. H. Hall, in 1871, both father and son hav- ing been connected with the Merrick interests there and in Holyoke. Since the death of the elder MT. Hall in 1884 the mill has been run by E. H. Hall, his son. l.. F. Hall, going into the com pany a few years ago.
 The wheel of the mill furnished about 90 horse power and the product was medium grades of cotton yarn
 Product 70 South Wilmington Plant.
 The yarn produced at the mill was taken by the G. Hall. Jr-, Co. of South Wilmington and made into thread. The
