PirrsrInLp, April e. -{Special) To
day is the beginning of a series of gala day $
for the town of Pittsfield. The new l2-set
woolen mill is completed anl the much
talked-of event is at hand.
Never in the history of the town have so
extensive and elaborate preparations been
made for big time and the reception of
visitors. People are pouring into town
from all directions. The hotel is crowded
to oyerfowing, private houses are opened
to the public and no livelier place can be
seen in the State. The entire population
seems interested and the hospitality of the
community will be taxed to its utmost.
The event is the dedication of the
Waverly wooden mill which has been
erected within the past year. and is corpor-
ate property, controlled by business men in
town. The entire outlay on this plant is
about Sl65 600. 1t is located about one
half mile north of the village, on the
easterly .ide of the Sebas,icook river, where
a dam was built which furnishes water
power sufficient to run four mills as large
as this plant.
The main building is of brick, three stor-
les high. 300 feet long and 60 feet wide.
The machinery, which is ready 10 be placed
is the very with all the latest improvements

given the grand ball in which it is expected
that 500 couples will participate and
