The Market. 



Although the temperature last week 

 ranged on an average below the freez- 

 ing point, business generally has been 

 satisfactory. Funeral work continues 

 to maintain a good proportion, while 

 several social functions help to keep 

 things moving. There is a good sup- 

 ply of everything and prices are 

 normal. 



Various Notes. 



Mr. and Mrs. Louis J. Eeuter have 

 arrived at their home in Westerly after 

 a ten days' trip to Detroit, New York 

 and Buffalo. 



Macnair had an immense basket of 

 500 carnations for a big dinner re- 

 cently.

 a gardener at various estates on the 

 east side, died at the Ehode Island 

 hospital Thursday, January 25, aged 

 56 years. Death was due to a cancer 

 on the neck. He laid out a number of 

 the best known estates and had a rep- 

 utation as a clever workman. 



Lawrence Hay, of East Providence, 

 had the large decorations at the God- 

 dard residence recently. 



Henry W. Harris, 61 years old, was 

 found frozen to death in his yard Sat-
