financial prosperity of every man in bust.
ness or owning property in Bethel.
Several of the shop hands who lived in
Royalton and went to and from their work
on the local train, discontinued last week,
have thrown up their employment, as it is
next to impossible to find board or sleeping
room in Bethel. A family from Massachu-
sets came here recently, having sent their
goods forward, expecting to find rooms, but
were disappointed and have stored their
goods until spring, when, undoubtedly, sew
eral houses will be put up. Why not form
a building and loan association? Such an
has proved of great benefit
wherever it has been tried, and Bethel is
certainly in need of some boom for house
building. Some hesitate for fear the shoe
shop may not prove permanent institu-
tom but present indications point to the
fact that 1t has come to stay with us. A
handsome financial showing since they set
tied down to work in July assures this. A
meeting will probably be called in the near
future for the purpose OF increasing the cap
ital stock.
