Quite number of friends gathered
at the residence of Mr.. Norman G..
Brooks, of Brooksville, Monday evening,

their niece Miss Nellie f. Atwood,
daughter of Mr.. Frank Atwood of
Treiupelean, Wisconsin, and formerly
from New Haven, Vermont, and Mr..
William Fred Hammond, second son of
Ceorge:Hammond, Esq, of Midd,ebury,
Vermont. The ceremony was perform
ed by the Rev. Stephen Knowlton, of
New Haven. The presents were rich,
useful and handsome. The bride is an
estimable young lady and a favorite
with all. After the usual congratulation
the guests were served to bountiful
repast and the evening passed pleasant

lance, Mrs. S. G. Holyoke and daughter,
from st. Adams, Vermont, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Ward, of Bristol. The newly
married couple will take up their resi-
dencc in Brooksville, where they will
at once enter upon the duties of house.

Tuesday evening the Geographic re-
ports of the election were received at
the American Union Office at the Addi-
son House, and at the town room, where
the Atlantic and Pacific instruments
were temporarily placed for the accom-
of the public. There were a
good many out to heer the news and the
crowd vibrated between the two places

Nearly every house and most of the

effective. We believe it was admitted
that F. A. Bond, who never does
things by halves, made the best display

fine, and was added to on the approach

The coruscating Ellis has heard the
news, and begins to believe there is a
Republican party after all.
Republicans now gaze cheerfully
upon the scattered 1929 inscriptions with
which their residences are marked.
Considerable money changed hands
on the result. Mr.. Gasca Rich now
knows where he was lame in his cslcu-
