HUSTLE TOWN.

The death of Aunt Mary Adams, of Franklin, removes one of the first set­tlers of this neighborhood. Mrs. Adams has lived in Franklin about a year. The death of an old settler leads us to look back over the history of our neigh­borhood. It is interesting to notice the changes that have taken place through the agency of man. A lonely wilderness has been converted into a thriving agri­cultural community.
