of DIR. William Wisner Adams, whose
wife was Miss Cooper's sister. She
was q member of the FIRST Congregs-
tional Church of Fall River and very
active in many branches OF Its work and
she also took an active part In work oil
various charitable organizations. After
the death Of DIR. Adams, Miss Cooper,
with her sister, Mrs. Rogers and her
niece, Miss Phoebe Rogers, came to
Paris Hill about five years ago and pur-
chased "Cross Rosds,p and established
her home here. During their residence
here the family made many friends. The
niece, Miss Rogers, passed away last year

The protest of residents of this village
against piling wood in the streets has
brought out the following unsigned
communication. It's worthy Of publ
cation however, and calls attention to a
practice that never ought to be tolerated
in any town that has an atom Of civic
pride. Designated dumps" for rubbish
have been named by the municipal ofi-
GERS.
"The Farmers who are hauling wood
over Paris Hill were very sorry to learn
by the Democrat that the village people
are annoyed by wood being left in the
village. But when some thoughtless
villsger brings his rubbish outside the
limits of the village and throws 1t by the
side of the road nothing is said"
