The Glove company have been irving
for few days past to arrange for an
excursion for their employees to Glen
island on September 3, but find it i'm
possible to do SO without much detri-

be closed down on Labor day, and an
excursion could be easily arranged, if
there were 400 at $3.50 each who de-
sired to go on that day. AS it is Fire
mems day here there will probably be
no excursion.
The selectmen have called a special
town meeting to act upon the park
