A party of over one hundred met

good time, and came away wishing
the couple much happiness in the fu-
ture.
We have always observed that the
best place to trade is with home deal !
a,-c Ono Of hn YarInai,No1
for this is that local dealers are always
anxious to hold their trade, and to
do this they understand that they
must deal fairly and sell just such
goods as they recommend them to be.
This rule applies in the stove trade as
truly as in any other, and we believe
that the best place to buy is where
you can any day call on the seller to
make good any representations he
may make. We have no use for the
itinerant dealer, and We dontt believe |
people ever gain anything by dealing
with them. Their expenses are larg-
er than the local dealers, and in some
way they must, of course, make up
for this extra expense. We under
stand that first class standard range |
can be bought of local dealers at $50,
which embodies all the modern i'm
provements, and is made of the best
quality of new iron. With this fact
in view few will be inclined to invest
more money than that. We hope the
public will keep their eyes open and |
get their moneys worth, that is all.
Quite a large number from this vi
cinity went to St. Johnsbury last Sat
urday to witness the base ball game |
between the "Creepers" of that place,
ard the ''No Names of Morrisville. |
The game was called at 2 o'clock and |
was holly contested throughout, neither
club getting more than one score
ahead on even innings at any time.
Some fine plays were made on both |
sides. The No Name basemen did
some splendid work, as did the field
ers and short-stOp. Giles pitching |
did his work in his usual A No. l |
style. The No Names did not 90
to bat in the 9th inning, as they al
ready had the gam2. DR.. Woodward |
acted as umpire and his decisions were
fair and impartial. The return game
will be played on the fair ground some
time this month, and manager Living
ston will have everything in prime con-
dition at that time. The boys have
reason to feel proud over the result. !
as did every Morrisville man who was
on the ground. The "Creepers," it is
said, were rever whipped before, and
they evidently had very little idea that
they would be this time. 1t behoves
our boys to practice in the meantime,
if they would retain their lanrels.
Following is the score as played:
Innings - as 7 So
| No Names, l 0 8 3 --13
| Creepers, l o 2 3 l O-12
