Among the business establishments in this city
which deserve especial mention, is that of Messrs
Huntington, Mason 4 Co., ~ 1870 Water street
The three floors are entirely devoted to the inter
ests of their large and constantly increasing trade
which they richly deserve. The custom tailoring
department should especially attract the attention
of those in quest of garments made Of goods Of the
best quality. There 10 often too much in the idea
of associating the word "sham" with ready-made
work Of any kind, but this is not with the goods
obtained at II. N. & Co.'S. Their ready-made
clothing is of their own manufacture, and they
take the creates. pleasure in warrantlng it at all
times. The purchaser gets first class work, and
very much better fitting garments at the same
price he would be obliged to pay for Boston ready
made clothing. At any time Of the day you may
step in and find ready for wear elegant dress suits
and from that down to suits Of the most inexpen-
sive but still quite serviceable character. These
facilities in connection with the custom depart
ment, where garments made to order, would
seem to provide everything desirable in that d.
rection. Mr.. S. A. Niles continues as cutter, and
hat accounts for the elegant fits turned ont. And
then there is the furnishing department, contain
ing complete outfits for gentlemen, so that one
may obtain complete outfit without going be-
yond the precincts of the store. This firm en-
ploys some fifty or sixty girls, thus greatly
assisting families who need work. 1t is matter Of
PRIDE and shows the policy of honest dealing, that
the business of this firm has fully maintained
itself through the dull times.

Messrs. Emerson, Stevens & Co.. of West Wa
terve, are rapidly pushing the manufacture Of
axes. Their business in this respect is at this
time larger than ever before, and the aim Of the
company to make their axe second to none.
Nearly all their sales in the West are effected
through one agent, thus lessening the expense of
the business; and this agent having for many
years made the axe business a speciality, knows
what his customers want, and his suggestions are
readily embodied in the process of manufacture.

Notes from the Camp Grounds.


While paying brief visit to this place, find
important changes have been made since the
meeting closed.
The Messrs. Folsom of Augusta, during the
past week, have been at work moving buildings,
upon Smith corner which is but beginning of a
series of permanent improvements. Among the
most noticeable, is the entire remodeling and en-
larepg of Mrs Bailey's cottage, and also Mrs.
Wells. The outlay upon these alone | should
say will be $500. Mr.. Folsom will move his build
ing and finish it inside, which will make it com-
Portable for the fall.
We find fire comfortable here, morning and
evening, even now.
The building that stood south of the boarding
house, has been moved east Of the ice house,
which is decidedly an improvement. The build.
ing that stood in the way Of the improvement OF
Mrs. Bailey's cottage, has been moved near the
lower part of creed" avenue. 1t will be repair ed
and rented by the association, probably. ~
River View Park has been leveled up and other
wise improved. Central Park is TO have a coat of
dressing and some trees transplantcd, Mr.. Reed
tells me. Mr.. Ramsdall of Gardiner, has just
finished very pretty cottage near the Taberna-
Gle, the first one on the avenue. Bath people
have taken all the remaining lots upon this ave-
nue., some of whom will build cottages next sea-
son, am told.
The Maine Central Railroad company have
adopted more liberal policy toward this place
and will continue to sell tickets ut campmeeting
rates, to properly holders and visitors, which must
help decidedly in building up and making more
popular this already beautiful and attractive place
MIR. Reed, the faithful Superintendent, informs
me that there have been more visitors here this
year than ever before. Some come and stop two
and sometimes four days at a time, simply for
recretation gather ferns, autumn leaves. etc that
are found here in almost variety. Mr.. Reed is
very anxious to get up party to come down and
help him clear out the underbrush, etc.. below the
enclosure, to lessen the danger from fire, and
SAYS he will furnish the hot coffee and doughnut.
to any and all who will come with sharp axes and
work dsy. In addition to that, Z. G. Hunt will
furnish tickets, if any in Augusta would like to
accept Of that offer, and j. r. Sawte lie or J. II
Lowell win provide tickets for any who wish tc
accept from Hallowell. Now don't be bashfu
about accepting. Mr.. Reeds offer OF coffee AND
doughnuts don't grow on every bush, and you
can stay over night and work two days instead Of
one.
