An occasion of great interest was
the celebration of the golden we'd
ding anniversary of Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas Hazel, which occurred at
their home on Main Street last
Thursday evening. 1t was observed
by an informal reception, to which
the friends and neighbors of the so
years bride and groom were invited.
Owing to Mrs. Hazel's delicate
health, it was not thought best to
have an elaborate entertainment, but
the immediate friends and neigh
bors took the opportunity to call at
intervals durino the evening, and
extend good wishes and congratula-
tons. The ceremony of half CEN
tury ago, took place July l, 1870, at
Lawrence, Mass, the bride being
Miss Marv Argy. They came at once
to this place, and have lived here
ever since, Mr. Hazel beino employed
by the railroad company, until he re-
tired from active work, about 10
years ago. Inded they may truly be
said to be pioneers in town, as Mr..
Hazel has been here most of his life,
being one of the men who helped
clear the land for the building of The
Pasumpsic railroad up through this
territory. Of their six children, four
were able to be present on this hap
Ply occasion, Charles, from Mountain
Park, Oklahoma, Ed, from Alexan-
dria, Virginia, Theresa, Mrs. Maca-
voy. with her husband and daugh-
ter, from Hartford, Con H., and Mrs.
Mary Richardson, who lives with her
parents. The other children are

away were Mr. Hazel's sister, and
husband, Mr.. and Mrs. John Shea,
their son, William, with his wife and
children, from Little.on, N. H., Mrs.

crepe paper, and flags. The little
