Marc Hatch of Hydeville was taken Ill
the latter part of last week, and Sunday
1t was thought to be a serious case of
appendicitis, an operation being decided
upon for the next day. Monday, how
ever, the case developed itself as some
thing entirely different, and yesterday Mr..
Hatch was out-of-doors again.
After waiting some days for pleasant
weather, the Baptist Sunday school held
their annual picnic at Crystal Lake yes
terdsy. The day proved to be all that
could be desired, and the occasion was
greatly enjoyed. The only real sad mis-
hap of the day was an involuntary bath
taken by Newton Goodell, and 1t was no
halfway one either.
There will be ball game on the local
ground next Saturday afternoon between
the home team and the Wales nine. AS
there Is considerable expense involved In
getting an out-of-town team to play here,
1t has been decided to charge an admis-
sion of ten cents, but ladies will be ad-
mitted free. A good game is expected,
and 1t Is hoped that there will be a good
attendance.
There has not much been said lately
about the Hydeville Ladies' Tea party,
but 1t by no means follows but what 1t Is
still very much In evidence. Several of
the members, including Mrs. Asa Harris,
Mrs. Russell Colburn, Mrs. Andrew Lee
Il LIZ We
Durham and Mrs. Will Durham, were
entertained by Mrs. ]. D. Booth at her
island camp In Stafordville and had a
perfect days enjoyment. To-day the
the same party, with the addition of Mrs.
Thomas Melbourne, Mrs. George Kings
bury, and Misses Alice and Ruth Dun
ham, are enjoying days outing as guests
of Mrs. Calvin Moulton at her residence
In Agawam, Mass.
Miss Eliza j. Chamberlain, II, died at
the home Of Mrs. George Adams on Stat
ford Street last Monday morning after a
long Illness of chronic Bright's disease
The deceased was born In Chelmsford,
Mass. but had made her home In this
town for many years, first In the family
OF B. w. Patten, afterwards with Robbins
Patten of the Springs, but about the time
OF the death of Mrs. Robbins Patten she
removed to the residence of Mrs. Adams,
where she has since made her home. She
was woman Of a very bright intellect,
OF sterling character, and positive In her
opinions. She leaves but few relatives,
being attended Ia her last Illness by q
niece, who accompanied the body to its
destination. A prayer was offered at the
house Tuesday morning by Rev. F. L.
Batchelder, and the body was taken on
the 9 40 a. m. train Wednesday to Boston,
where it will be cremated and the ashes
taken to Houston, Texas, for final inter-
ment.
And they have theaters In Hydeville.
Some call 1t q kid theatre, and some a
juvenile, but whatever they may call it,
1t was good enough to be a surprise to
everyone Of the audience Of over thirty In
attendance. 1t appears that four little
girls, May MacCallum, Blanche Soule,
Miss Pagan and Ruth Durham, assisted
by Miss Issie Durham, had a large tent
pitched on the knoll back of the old Fred
Smith blacksmith shop, and after due
preparation the entertainment was given
last Tuesday evening. 1t was a sort of a
pot pourri affair, with farce-dialog and Sc
lections on the mandolin, finely rendered,
by Miss Issie Durham. 1t was all good
and quite treat to Hydeville residents.
On account Of the low price of admission,
the net receipts were only about $1.34,
but each girl. after division, found herself
possessed Of thirty-four cents, which will
buy considerable chewing gum. The
older MacCallum girls will have to look
well to their laurels, as they have some
dangerous competitors coming forward
on the stage of life.
