HATTERs HAVE A GOOD TIME.

MATTERS HAVE GOOD TIME.
 Last Saturday was general holiday with the greater part of the wOrkmen in the Judd & Dunning Hat factory Fifteen ladies, trimmers and binders spent the day at Compo Beach, West. port. Will Nichols, the liveryman, furnished fOur-horse team, and drove for the party. The ladies started fol home about o'clock in the evening, and arrived in Bethel soon after IF o'clock, tired and dusty. The finish. CTS and curriers' spent the day in Judd $ Grove, east side of Shelter Rock, and near home, where they rested and en- joyed their annual clam bake. A com mittee of three conducted the ceremo. nies of the day. Cortes Smith, one o1 the three, performed his duties o1 clam roaster, to the perfect satisfac' NOxOn prepared and served the appe. tizing dishes for the occasion. A mus tard pot, a dish of cucumbers and T dish of onions met with favor. Few men can prepare dish of onions with. out having their feelings touched with repentance, and our friend NOxOn was no exception to the rule. The tears that ran down his cheeks was evidence of his deep interest in performing his part well. All present appreciated his success. The youngest member of the committee, Allen Barnum, was scion from one of the oldest families of the town. Like daughter of old, he was a drawer of water. His duties were arduous, for the we'll was deep. How. ever, he proved himself valuable ser. want, and his services were highly commended. The day was lovely, and the heat was tempered by delightful breeze, which circulaetd beneath the tall forest trees, and famed away all objectionable flies and mosquitoes. Seats of moss and tables of granite, and a we'll of clear, cool, sparkling water makes the locality a desirable place for a summer picnic. The en. | joyments of the day came to close at an early hour. A shop call was made, and three cheers given to the commit. tee of arrangements, and hearty vote of thanks was rendered to the proprie.
 tor of the grounds.
