adieu to Chesiertown and its 2500 hospitable,
courteous and generous citizens, and started
in carriages for Betterton,on the bay, thirteen

buildings, and reception committee invited
the party to alight and tarry awhile. Rev.
Mr. Roberts, in behalf of the citizens, spoke
words Of welcome, and responses were made
by Col. w. Scott Roberts. of Centreville. and
Ever Ready Haddaway of Easton, In closing
Mr.. Haddaway sad-.'We are going to Bet
ierton, but 1t is not any better town than this.
At Betterton, in a speech, he told what he
said at Still Pond, and added want to
take that back, for Betterton is better than
Shll Pond. AT Ioichester ne repeated "nat
he had said about Still Pond and Betterton,
and told his bearers that Colchester was better
than either. When asked how he would do
when he visited those places again, Mr.. Had
daway said he would not be back for year

asked by friend, how he would manage
if he was elected, to get support iors re-elec-

would-be-congressman repled-l won pe

An hour was spent at Still Pond, which de-
rives its name from pond. not far away. The
pond is the size of quarter of an acre, and
no bottom to it has yet been discovered and
the water never freezes The town is not IN
corporated, but 1t has side walks, electric
lights, two well-stocked department STORES,
drug and harness store, creamery and curd
works, church, school, and number OF hand
some dwellings. Before leaving the visitors
were taken TO the Pratt House and served
with strawberries, ice cream, cake and fruit.
Sill Pond was a revelation to all the Associa-
ton, and is the livest village of its size IN the
country. No other place OF Ike SIZE would
have pluck enough TO tackle an editorial as
socation.
