BETHEL,
A BIRTHDAY GATHERING.

On Friday, the 2Oth of May, the children and grandchildren and one great-grandchild of Eli Hoyt of Wolf Pits district gathered at the old home stead, and when MT Hoyt looked about to see what it all meant they laugh tngly told him it was a surprise party to celebrate his 9Oth birthday, due that day. Then with laughter and pleasant chat they prepared the feast, and after doing ample justice to the good things on the table, settled down to 3 pleasant visit with the ''Old Folks at Home," who enjoyed it immensely. MT Hoyt, when asked if he remem- bered the kind of day it was when he was born, said it must have been 8 fine day as his father had told him he was planting corn when summoned to the house to welcome the new guest. MT Hoyt is we'll preserved, young looking man for his years. He has all his fac ulties and enjoys good health. He comes from old American stock grafted on the old English tree. His original ancestor was Daniel Hoyt, one of the first settlers of Salem, Mass, nearly 300 years ago. His grandfather, Jesse Hoyt, was soldier in the Revolution ary War, and saw Danbury burned by the British soldiers. At the close of the war, with the smoke of battle still in his nostrils, and the roar of cannon drum still ringing in his ears, he re- turned to his farm in Wolf Pits and settled down to a peaceful farm life. He raised family of four children, Seth Shove, Ira, Jesse IT,, and Lucy. Seth remained at home and worked on the farm with his father until he was 26 years of age, when he married Re- becca Sherwood of Redding, and his father gave him as a present the farm now occupied by his son, Eli Hoyt. Seth Shove Hoyt, known far and near as "Uncle Shove," and his wife lived on the place 56 years. They raised a family of six children, Darius, Justus,
 Eli, Seth, IT,, Rebecca and Noah, all Noah, having passed over to the great majority. Eli, at the death of his parents, purchased the old homestead and has lived there with his wife 40 years, so the old homestead has been in the family about 120 years. Eli Hoyt, now 90, married Mary Wood of War ren, now 85 years old, 67 years ago. They raised family of eight children, all alive to-day. This is the genera.
 tions of the Hoyts so far as I know, and think your readers will agree with everyone who knows the facts that this has been, and is a remark able family for longevity, as lam the eldest son of this family. ln looking
 backward and thinking of the hundreds
 that have been born, lived, and died since our family came into the world,
 1 feel like comparing our family to TennysOn'S brook:

 But we go on forever"

Straw hats are now in vogue and of course Blackman's are the most sty- fish this year as they have been in pre- vious years. The popular Blackman straw for the season of 1904 is known as the Porto Rico Palm. The value of this hat is $4, but the Blackman price is $2.5O. The reason for this bic difference in price is because the Un- port, manufacture every hat and shoe they sell you. If you do not care to pay as much as $2. 50, you can buy a hat for s1, $50 or $2. If you want to pay more than S2.5Q you can pay 8, a3.6O or s4. No matter what the price, every Rlackman hat is strictly tip to date in style and material.
