Killingly had the highest death rate of any town in Connecticut during March, according to figures contained in the monthly bulletin of the state board of health. The deaths repre- sented 29.3 per thousand per annum, pwhich was exceptionally and exceed- ingly high for this community and was an unprecedented record here. The total of deaths was 16, There were 17 births and 10 marriages in this town during March. TOTAL LOSS Shed and 24 Cows Burned Near Wau- regai Twenty-four cows were burned to death in a fire that destroyed the cat- tle shed on the Lavigne place, west of Waurcgan, Friday night. How the fire started seems to be a mystery. When first discovered it had gained such headway that nothing could effectively be done to release the cows or save the building from total _destruction. Neighboring farmers gathered from points in the district to lend all poesi- ble aid. It is understood that the loss will be total, as there was no insur- ance protection. Thorough Cleanup Planned. Over in the Quinebaug mill village on the West Side the way for this side is being pointed by arrangements made for a general spring cleanup. The whole village is to be given a thorough going over and every last bit of garbage and waste matter removed. Going a step further, what is gained in the way of being spick and span is Dot to be lost through later negligence, for a regular system of garbage col- lection has been arranged for and will be maintained by the company’s men and teams. Garbage barrels are to be distributed at many points throughout the village and these will be regularly attended to. This is the system that has been in force in Wauregan for a long time and keeps it one of the neat- est mill villages in the Quinebaug valley. £ SCHOOLMATE OF SENATOR. Deputy Judge Tucker Recalls Boyhood of Nelson W. Aldrich. Deputy Judge James N. Tucker of East Killingly is one.of the few re- maining residents of this town who was a schoolmate at Fast Killingly of former United States Senator Nelson W. Aldrich of Rhode Island, who died at his New York home Friday. Judge Tucker recalls with great clearness many of the incidents of Mr. Aldrich’s schooldays on the hill and of the few years that he remained in that vicinity after going from the school. Nelson Aldrich was one of the older boys at the school, which in those days was so arranged as to bring all grades into one room. Judge Tucker characterizes Mr. Aldrich as a bright and earnest stu- dent from his earliest schooldays and mentions that even very early in life the boy, who afterwards came to be known as the general manager of the United States, constantly exhibited a trait that has often been held by his acquaintances as one of the para- mount reasons for his wonderful suc- cess in life—an aggressiveness and a Painless Extracting and Filling a Specialty 752 Main Stroet, Willimantio Telephone JAY M.

He always went to bedrock in his study of a subject, never being sat- isfled with superficial knowledge of matters that claimed his attention. Judge Tucker remembers Mr. Ald- rich as a clerk in a little country store at East Killingly, and also as a weaver for a time in what is known as the Ross mill, now occupied by the Inter- nationa] Cotton company. Senator Aldrich never lost his inter- est in Bast Killingly, where his father and mother are at rest in the village Cemetery. His last formal visit there ‘was about ten years ago, when _ he came as a guest at a public functon. It was noted at the time he recalled many incidents of the years he spent in the village, remembered and recog- nized friends of those days, and found PUTNAM_NEWS | PUTNAM Israel Putnam Lodge, I. to Providence Street Bridge—Legis- lature to Smooth Path For Elopers.

Interest in Marriage License Bill. The bill relative to marriage licenses which it seems is about to be passed by the general assembly will make Putnam a Gretna Green again. One change in the wresent law that is pro- posed is the abolishing of the require- ment of filing five gays’ notice on in- tent to marry, this applying to non- residents of a town. Previous to the enactment of the law that hecame effective on August 1. 1913, Putnam was the Mecca for couples from Worcester county towns who were anxious to be married quiet- 1y, without a fuss or flurry—or on the sly. The insertion of the five days’ notice clause in the Connecticut law stopped all that, however, or stopped it to a considerable extent.
