Miss Lillian NJ Arms was married Wednesday
evening TO Arthur II. Baker OF Montpelier, Rev.
8 H. Wheeler officiating. Later In the evening
the marriage reception at the residence Of the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. @. N. Arms. was
fully attended, and was repete with Joyous con-
gratulations and with the pleasures incident 10
such an occasion. The genuineness Of the es-
TEEN, affection and good will with which Miss
Lillian had been regarded was manifested In
many ways and was made evident to the eye In
the marriage presents, which were numerous and
valuable. Tho best OF all good wishes attend the
newly welded ones. Miss Hattie A. Hale grati-
fed some friends Friday evening In the parlor Of
Mrs. Q. II. Richardson by rendering few pieces
OF piano music. Her efforts on this occasion
proved that she had made the most Of her recent
instruction In Boston. She modestly essays very
difficult music, such as a few only dare under.
take, but masters IL completely and brilliantly.
An excellent performer before her late period OF
study and practice, she quite surprised her hear
ers by the perfection and increased effectiveness
Of her playing. Her execution Of "Pollucca
Brillisnte, especially, called forth the admlra-
ton and congratulations OF her audience, while
the playing OF some pieces previously made ia
miliar by her skillfu touch also showed the grati-
flying progress she has made Miss Hale has a
promising future and those who have secured her
services for instruction on the piano are fortunate
indeed. Miss Hale succeeds Lillian Arms as or
ganlst at the Congregational church and 1t Is
hoped she will make Waterbury her " headquar-
ters,' for the present at least. School In the

Warner to Jonesvlle to wet down the mass OF
burning wood at the railway station. The ma
