A Satinet-mill, built by Ray, Rathburn & Mckenzie in 1872 for a felt mill was bought, 1881, by C. J. Mckenzie and changed to a satinet mill. It runs three sets of woolen machinery, employs about forty-five hands, and produces 525,000 yards per annum.
The Franklin Cotton Manufacturing Company, Unionville. This corporation has a granite building, one hundred and thirty-three feet long and fifty-five feet wide and two stories high, run by both steam and water, as the supply serves. Employing from forty-five to fifty hands, manufacturing 350,000 lbs. of twine, bags and wipers.
The Shoe Business has never put more than one foot into the town. In 1850, N. C. Newell bought Dr. Emmons' barn, moved it, and began manufacturing therein. He was succeeded by James M. Freeman, who enlarged both business and shop, but he retired in 1879, and the business also.
The Boston Rubber Company, formerly the Franklin Rubber-Boot Company was organized, 1882, with a capital of seventy-five thousand dollars ; with Moses Farnum, pres- ideut ; Joseph G. Ray, treasurer ; Horace Jenks, superin- tendent of the works. They are located near Beaver Pond.
LUMBER AND BOX FACTORIES .- E. L. and G. F. Metcalf commenced as contractors and builders in 1843. In 1847- 49 they were actively engaged in building depots, bridges, etc., for the Norfolk County Railroad aud Southbridge branch. In 1856 they bought the Frost water-mill, about two miles from the Centre, fitting it up with wood-working machinery, and also opened a lumber-yard at the village.

HISTORY OF FRANKLIN.
In 1867 they built a steam-mill near the railway station, which has been enlarged until its present dimensions are sixty by one hundred and eighty feet, with wings thirty by forty feet, all two stories high. In 1870 they added a saw- mill and, in 1873 a grain mill. They employ a large number of hands in the sash, door, blind, and box depart- ment.
The original firm, after almost forty years of successful business, dissolved in 1881 by mutual consent, Erastus L. going out, and Walter M. Fisher taking his interest in the business, which is now carried on with the firm-name of O. F. Metcalf & Sons.
In the northwestern part of the town is another lumber and box-factory, started by Lucius W. Daniels in 1874. Now owned by Hunter & Greenwood.
MACHINERY .- Joseph Clark & Sons owns the one machine- shop in Franklin, located at Nason's Crossing. They man- ufacture largely woolen machinery, as well as repair cotton machinery of all kinds, employing a large number of men and adding much to the town industries.
CANNED GOODS .- North Franklin is a head centre of the canning industry. The large factory of J. B. Hopkins, commenced about fifteen years ago on a small scale. The buildings have been enlarged and machinery added, inclu- ding two forty horse-power boilers. During the busy sea- son they employ a large number of hands. They make their own cans, of which in 1882 they produced 400,000.
BEET SUGAR .- The experiment of making sugar from beets was tried in Franklin for a year by a corporation formed in 1879, with a capital of one hundred and thirty- three thousand dollars. But the enterprise was abandoned for lack of beets. It was thought that they could not be raised with profit to the farmer at prices which would also render it profitable to the corporation.
On Central Street is L. W. Milliken, manufacturer of loom- pickers, straps and other manufactures of leather. On the Dean street is the manufactory of R. Sommers, for toilet and laundry soap, carried in teams in all the region round about.

HISTORY OF FRANKLIN.
On East Street A. Parker Smith mannfactures a leather lacquer for carriages, for Boston trade.
THE PRESS .- The first newspaper published in town was the Franklin Register, a weekly. It was started, October, 1872, by James M. Stewart, editor and proprietor. It was continued until the removal of Mr. Stewart in 1881. In 1878 the Franklin Sentinel began its weekly rounds. It was put on duty by R. E. Capron. The Sentinel is now under the able management of R. B. Fernald with a length- ened circuit and more imposing dimensions. May its circuit be enlarged as its value increases.
RAILROADS .- The Norfolk County Railroad was incorpo- rated in 1847. In 1849 the road was completed and running its trains. The line connected Dedham and Blackstone, and was twenty-six miles long. The bridge just west of the Franklin Station covers the summit of the road. Its eleva- tion above the mean low-water level in Boston at this point is 296 35-100 feet. The Norfolk County Railroad has since became a link of the New York and New England Railroad, and has been gradually lengthened until, from Boston to Fishkill,-its proper western terminus, -it measures 227 3-4 miles of main track, exclusive of its branches.
In 1887 the Rhode Island and Massachusetts Railroad was completed, connecting Franklin and Providence via Valley Falls, twenty miles. It is under the control of the New York and New England. During the year 1883 the Milford and Franklin Railroad was completed, and trains are now running regularly and often over its ten miles of length, connecting, through Hopkinton and Ashland, with the Bos- ton and Albany Railroad. Franklin is thus amply provided with railroad connections.
BANKS .- Franklin has three banks, -The Franklin Nation- al, with a capital of two hundred thousand dollars; the Benjamin Franklin Savings Bank, incorporated Feb. 21, 1871 ; and the Franklin Co-Operative Bank, organized May 29, 1889.
As will be seen, the industries of Franklin have increased rapidly.
THE REBELLION OF 1861 .- The response evoked by the
54
HISTORY OF FRANKLIN,
war for slavery is indicated by the following resolves, passed unanimously at a town-meeting, May 2, 1861 :
" Resolved. That it is the duty of all good citizens to discountenance and frown upon every individual among us. if any there be, who shall express sentiments disloyal to the government of the United States, or offer aid or sympathy to the plotters of treason and rebellion."
But the town expressed itself not in words alone. It at once raised, on its quota of twenty-three, thirty-four men and three thousand dollars were promptly pledged as aid. On the call of August, 1862, for three hundred thousand more, forty-three were enlisted on its quota of thirty-four. The town responded with a like promptness and profusion to every subsequent call for troops. Individual citizens were generous in subscriptions to pay bounties and to aid the families of volunteers. When the first detachment-the overquota of thirty-six, and called Company C. Forty-fifth Regiment of Massachusetts Volunteers, under 2d Lieutenant Lewis R. Whitaker, a soldier for freedom in Kansas-was leaving for the field, a farewell meeting was held in the town hall, at which their lieutenant was surprised with a fine sword from his men, and they in turn received each a Bible. When a temperance pledge was proposed, all, save one or two enthusiastically attached their names. On the announce- ment that only twenty-three had been called for, one of the thirteen said they would all go, if they went afoot and alone.
It is known that two hundred and eighteen soldiers were furnished by the town during the war. How many were natives cannot now be ascertained, as the town's list is con- fessedly imperfect. But the record of ninety-seven natives has been made, whose names, grade, and fate are as below :

CENTENNIALS .- The first century of Franklin as a precinct was completed Dec. 23, 1837 (old style). The event was commemorated by a historical sermon preached Feb. 25, 1838, by the then pastor, Rev. Elam Smalley, and afterwards printed. The close of the town's first century, March 2, 1878, was anticipated, in a town-meeting of March, 1873, by the choice of a committee " to prepare a plan for an ap- propriate celebration of the anniversary, to secure statistics, and to do whatever they may deem necessary in the matter,
59
HISTORY OF FRANKLIN.
and report at a future town-meeting." The committee were Stephen W. Richardson, William M. Thayer, Waldo Daniels, William Rockwood, and Adin D. Sargent. They reported the plan of a public celebration, and an address by Rev. Mortimer Blake, D. D., a son of Franklin, then in Taunton. The plan was adopted, and in 1877 five hundred dollars were appropriated for expenses, including the publication of a town history. March, 1878, the committee was enlarged by the addition of A. St. John Chambre, Henry M. Green, James P. Ray, Paul B. Clark, and Edward, A. Rand, as a committee of arrangements. As March is usually unfit for a public celebration, June 12th was selected, and the day proved most favorable for the occasion.
The chief features of the celebration were a procession, including the public schools, and a representation of the in- dustries of the town ; a historical address, with other ser- vices, in the Congregational Church ; a dinner under a large pavilion on the Common, with 1200 guests history prophecy, wisdom and wit, from the Gover- nor of the State to the town official, abounded until the westering sun suggested an adjournment until 1978. More than ten thousand people came together from far and near.
A museum of local antiquities, collected by the industry of a committee of ladies in the vestry of the Congregational Church was visited during the day by more than a thousand people, and elicited unanimous surprise at the valuable relics they had gathered. A vocal concert in the evening was fully attended, and closed the centennial day.
The history of Franklin, afterwards published, contains the historical address, enlarged by addenda ; biographical sketches ; genealogies in brief ; speeches at the dinner ; with portraits, views of buildings, etc. It is an octavo of over three hundred pages, prepared by the author of the address. and published by the committee of the town. Very few copies remain in the hands of W. Rockwood of the com- mittee.
