A Lost Child Feuns.
A young man, giving his name as
Eugene Chuquette Of Gardner, Mass,
walked TO this village from Bethel Mon
/ day, having exhausted his available funds
In vain search for his l5-montks-Old
son, Walter, whose whereabouts had
been unknown 10 the parents since June.
The man and his wife, being both AZ
work, had, according 10 his story, placed
their baby In the care OF Mrs. Rosella
stone, then temporarily living in Lowell,
aud had agreed 10 pay for her care OF the
child certain sum per week. The
weekly payments appear TO have fallen
into arrears 10 the amount Of about 500,
and Mrs. Stone, when she decided to
return TO the home OF her father, Henry
Edison, In Brookheld, took the child with
her, evidently failing to inform the par
ents fully concerning her change Of resi-
dence.
Chuquette, remembering finally her
connection with this part OF the country,
directed his search to Vermont and came
TO the end OF his cash on hand at Bethel,
from which place he telegraphed home
for more money and set out on foot to
Randolph. Fortunately he saw Mrs Stone
on the street soon after he reached
here and overlook her at the railroad
station as she was about to leave ON the
excursion to Boston.
A rather heated discussion ensued be-
tween the anxious, penniless, footsore
father and the woman, who seemed dis
posed to retain possession OF his child
until the bill for board was paid. The
matter was far from an amicable adjust
ment when the train arrived, and Mrs.
stones departure terminated the interview.
Z. A. Blodgett took Chuquette home for
the night and the next morning went to
Brookheld with him and got possession

chap, who had been well cared for, and
looked like desirable possession, though
not exactly the kind OF live stock to
sequester for unpaid board. Money being
received from Gardner, Mr.. Chuquette and
his recovered son started on the afternoon
express to join the baby's mother, inn
patiently awaiting them at home.
To Close for Repairs.
AT the annual meeting of the Co-opera-
tive creamery association, 20 of the 16z
shares were represented, and the following
board OF directors was elected Dana II.
Morse, j. b. Wells, Lyman Hutchinson,
J. b. Hutchinson, George Hyzer, II. Z.
Allen aud L. w. Tewksbury. A. A. Priest
was chosen secretary; Lyman Hutchinson,
treasurer, and n. L. Boyden and III. Z.
Allen, auditors.
The directors met Friday and elected
Dana III. Morse, president; j. B. Wells,
vice president, and Arthur NJ. Vaughan,
manager. Mr.. Priest who had served the
creamery very faithfully as manager dur
ing the nine years of its existence, was un-
wiling to bear the burden of care and
responsibility any longer and remained
firm in his determination to retire, though
urged to continue in the place he has SO
ably filled. Mr.. Vaughan, who, il was
generally felt,would make good successor
to Mr.. Priest, also declined the post, and
the vacancy was not filed.
The directors decided that some repaIrs
must be made on the creamery building,
whose floor, constantly wet, has become
rotten and unsafe. ID. ii. Morse, j. b.
Wells and George Hyzer were elected n
committee to attend to the construction OF
a cement floor and whatever else may need
to be done. The creamery will run
through this month, to give its patrons an
opportunity to arrange for different dis
posal OF their dairy product, and will then
close for repairs.
During the last year. $4,000 pounds Of
butter were made at the Cooperative
plant, and in the last nine years over $780,
900 has been paid the patrons. The
farmers have realized good prices for their
milk, and such excellent business judg-
meDt has been exercised in the affairs of
the concern that an annual dividend of 6
per cent has been paid the stockholders,
and last year 40 per cent dividend WIS
declared. There are now funds enough
for so per cent dividend if no repairs are
made, and one of 40 per cent with repairs.
Hutchinson--Beach.
Clarence Richard Hutchinson, only son
of Charles Hutchinson, and Miss Susie
Alice, daugh er of Mr.. and Mrs. C.E.
Beach Of Burlington, were united in mar
riage in that city at 1890 o'clock Monday
morning at the First Cong'l church by
Rev. J. II. George, ID. ID.
The bright tints Of autumn leaves made
a glowing background for the floral deco
retions, of which hydrangeas formed the
principal part. In harmony with the rich
tones Of the season also was the handsome
brown travelling dress of the bride with it's
garniture OF ecru lace, brown hat,
trimmed with ecru lace and feathers, COM
pleting her costume. She carried briiaf
bouquet and was attended by her four
year old cousin, Miss Alice Fitch, ss
flower girl.
The Episcopal marriage service was
used, two rings being given and received.
Immediately after the service, the bride
and groom entered an automobile and
were whirled away on trip to parts un-
known. After November l, they will be
at home in Glens Falls, N. Y, where Mr..
Hutchinson has a very responsible posi-
tion with the Hudson River Telephone
company, of whose lines he has charge
from Malone to Saratoga, N. Y.

tended the wedding, and the next day
Mrs. Hutchinson went back to North
