 Eagleville.
 It was good news to this village that the mill will be started again. It was about year ago that James Ross died. MT. Ross was principal owner of these mills, his sister hav- ing a one-third interest. Assisting MT. Ross in the management of the mills was his cousin, Milton Ross of Eagleville When MT. Ross died Mrs. Ross was appointed executrix of the estate, all of which was bequeathed to her. Before Mrs. Ross could go on with the mill business at Eagle vile it was necessary that she make an amicable arrangement with tho sister of MT. Ross, who owned a third interest. Mrs. Ross has recently acquired this interest, and now she is able to start the mills again. In com panY with B. A. Winter, proprietor of the Hotel Hooker, at Willimantic, who was appointed co-adm inistrator of MT. Ross's estate at her request, she will assume the active ma age- ment of the plant. Milton Ross was in town Saturday and stated that tile mill would probably be started this week, and in any event just as soon as the cotton arrives, which has been ordered.
