RUMoRED MILEPuRcHAsE
By Prominent Cotton Manufacturer
Large Addition Predicted.

Rumors persist that negotiations are
going on for the purchase of one of the
important mills in Killingly by a we'll
known cotton manufacturer who has
done much for textile centers in east
ern Connecticut. There is also story
that a large addition. is to be built to
another mill that is developing a very
prosperous business. These stories
listen well, whether they forecast
prompt industrial expansion here or
not, but there seems to be a feeling in
usually we'll informed quarters that the
whisperings are not far wrong.
1t is known that an offer was made
some time since for one of the mills of
the town by well known manufac-
turer and it is also well known that
another concern has been talking ex-
pansion for year past. Certain con-
ditions, however, ard certain circum-
stances that must be given the most
careful consideration before the great
amount of money that would be in
volved in making the changes and i'm
provements have up to the present time
delayed the making IF any public an
nouncement about intended plans, al
though privately what these plans are
have been disclosed to a number of
persons here Killingly may as well
be cheerful. Its industries are doing
very well now, and better things may
he just ahead.

OBITUARY..
Miss Grace L Filler.

Miss Grace Lillian Filler, 20, who
died in a hospital at Portsmouth, n.
H. following a surgical operation, was
formerly a resident of Attawaugan and
was a graduate of Putnam High
school, She was an exceptionally bril-
liant young woman. teacher by incli-
nation and profession, and had won
special honors. Her untimely death
is a cause of sorrow for many friends
in this town and towns hereabouts.
A special effort will be made during
the next two days to impress those who
have made applications to be made vot-
ers that it Is really their duty to be
present next Saturday when the select
men meet to examine the qualifications
of those who wish to be admitted to
the electorate.
Politicians Hustling.
The candidates for selectmen in Kill
lingly are not making many predictions
as to their chances Of election "a week
from Monday, but they are a very busy
group nevertheless. and are seeing"
their friends as regularly as said
friends can be found. The canvass
follows the line of personal interviews
and candidates and close friends are
working hard. A few votes admitted
ly will mean defeat or victory for at
least three of the candidates, for it is
generally conceded that the totals Of
the candidates are going to be close.
Fire in Bakery Building.
The fire department was called out
Wednesday morning on an alarm for a
blaze in the Cohen bakery building
south of Franklin street. near the rail-
road and on. the Poirier property. The
fire had gained considerable Roadway
before the department could reach the
scene, and the interior of the building
was considerably damaged. The loss
by the fire will be severely felt by the
proprietor. The building will be re-
paired at once and business resumed.
Will Speak in Town Meeting.
1t is understood that some citizens
are making a careful study of town
reports with a view to talking in town
meeting on the subject of putting Kill
lingly on a basis of doing business I'M
der which it will have enough revenue
to meet it's current expenses and pre-
vent a further increase in debt. What
methods will be suggested in addition
to others previously mentioned remains
to be seen. The meeting promises to
be an interesting one,
