MURRAY CO. and Country; benedietion, by minis- ter; . organ postlude, Huhn. - Hugh Clark Murray, 70, for many years a leading citizen in the busi- ness life of Willimanti€ and promi- nent throughout the community, died Tuesday morning shortly after 11 o'clock at his home, No. 20 Turner street. While Mr. Murray's death was not unexpected, he having been in poor health . for some time, the announcement ‘'was = received with profound sorrow -among his many friends and acquaintances. He was born March 1, 1849 at Catrine Ay- shire, Scotland, the son of Thomas and Mary McNinn Murray and spent the early years of his life in that country, coming to the United States at the age of 22. He entered the dry goods business as a clerk and later devoted most of his life to that business, in which he was particu- larly successful, He was in ds stores in Boston and Pro lence before coming to this city in March, 1879, when he opened a small store in the Card building. Later the business was moved to the Opera House block and in 1894, Mr. Mur- ray built the present Murray build- ing, corner of Main and Church streets for his steadily inmcreasing business, and for a number of years devoted his time to its development. About ten years ago, the H. C. Mur- ray company was formed, with Mr. Murray as_president, James P. Bath, treasurer Joseph B. Riordan and Robert M, Bath, directors, and short- ly afterwards Mr. Murray retired from active business. Mr. Murray was a citizen of the type which Willimantic can ill afford to lose, be- ing interested in everything which was for the best interests of the town. He was for years president of the Willimantic Savings Institute and one of the founders and presi dent of the Windham Silk compan He was one of the charter members of the Willimantic Chamber of Com- merce and a charter member of Obwebetuck lodge, No. 16, I. 0. O. F. In politics, Mr Murray was a staunch republican and while many political honors were offered him he alwa declined them. Mr. Murray twice married, his first wife being Mary E. Brown, who died in 1889. In November, 1897 Mr. Murray married Miss Jane Porteous of Norwich a na- tive of-Scotland, who survives him. Mr. Murray was of a generous dispo- sition and always willing to help those in need. Not a few business men in this city can recall the time when Hugh Clark Murray, through his generosity, helped them over tight places without security of any kind other than their word. His passing is cause for regret by the entire com- munity. Deputy Inspector - Ralph C. Young of Danfelson, was in town Tuesd morning on his weekly visit to th city for the purpose of examining applicants for drivers' licenses. It was a busy morning .for the inspect- or, a large numiber of applicants be- ing on hand. In all fourteen certifi- cates were granted, two to women drivers.

Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes~the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and enurelyi greaseless), is much better than any-' thing else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten ‘your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abundancel of rich,! creamy lather, and cleanses the haif | and scalp thoroughly." :The lather rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex- cessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage, You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo at most any drug store.
