BETHEL
UNION PICNIC A GREAT SUCCESS.

UNION PICNIC GREAT SUCCESS.
The Union Sunday school excursion
and picnic, to Rotor Point, last Sat
urday, was well attended, There were
nine coaches, carrying between five
and six hundred adults and children,
all bent on having good time. Judg-
ing from the remarks of some Of the
parents who accompanied their chill.
dren, that it was most delightful
outing and we'll worth the time and
money to see the JOY Of the little ones
ing in the swim of pleasure, literally
as we'll as figurattvely. 1t has been es-
timated that fully thousand went
during the day, many of whom were
attracted by the ball game between
the clam d'ggers and the hayseeders.
Sad to relate, however, the Bethel
club was defeated by the Norwalk
club, too. The ball grounds of the
NorWa1k people were not a very good
place to play on owing to its rough
ness 1t is said by those who were
present at this game that the ball
grounds of the Bethel club are the best
and in fact better than other ball
grounds that some have seen in other
towns in this state. Many are looking
for trial between Norwalk and Beth
ell clubs on the grounds OF the Bethel
team. Others are anXiOuSly waiting
to entertain the InvincibleS of Dan
bury, but will Mr. Moore venture his
club at Bethel?
Powell II. Roberts of Waterbury
was in town, this week, calling on
friends.
Next Monday there IS to be liquor
trial in this town. Sheriff Kyle and
Constable Nichols seized some wet
goods belonging to club fraternity
Tuesday, and there will be legal
fight, because Bethel is no-license
town. The people are wondering how
business can be carried on under the
name of the club against the popular
vote Of the town. No-license is a
good thing for the whole state, and
were it to be the rule not to allow a
licensed saloon, hut liberty to make,
buy and sell, the liquor question would
settle itself and the saloons would dis
appear, just as soon as the law permit
ted the manufacture and sale without
license, not to be drunk on the premis-
Cd "AOlO UAAC 6OONo oAO hOPu AoA o0AO.
Have you ever seriously looked at this
liquor question from this point Of
view? The liquor seller, the lawyer
and landlords would doubtless see dis
aster in such a plan and politicians of
the rum stripe may see their glory
dimmed, but the people would have
more liberty and the traffic fewer vic
Tins.
