The following we clip from the
Chattanooga, Tenn, News of Sept
10" Last night at the second Bap-
tist church on Loug St, Rev. G.. E.
Wright officiating, j. H. Shunn and
Miss Ida h. Barnes were united in the
bonds of wedlOck. After the ceremony
the couple with their friends repaired
to 402 West 9th St, the future home
of the newly made husband and wife,

Sanford L. Gates, one of our most
esteemed young men, full of promise
for the future, was taken quite sud
denl v from our midst by typhoid fe
yer last Saturday afternoon. San
ford had the respect and esteem of all
lwho knew him and his loss will be
hard blow to his parents, who will
have the sympathy of the communi
ty q t large who also mourn his SEEM
ing untimely death. Sanford was a
graduate of MOrrisville Academy and
the University of Vermont and had
been reading law for some time in
Hon. P. K Gleed's office and was
soon to be admitted to the bar. He
was a young man of sound common
sense and thoroughly reliable in every
particular. He was a member of the
Congregational church and held the
office of second constable and collec-
tor of taxes in the town. The funeral
was largely attended from his late
residence Tuesday afternoon. The
pall-bearers were, Frank Durham of
Worcester, Ed. Mower, Prof Beebe,
I. c. Cheney, Earnest Gates and Ar
thur Cheney The four former are
members of the 'Phi Delta Theta" of
which fraternity Mr. Gates was an
honored member while in the U.V.M.
A JOYFUL OCCASIONAL very pleas
ant and social feature of Coral Chap
ter No 16, 0. E. s., was demonstrat-
ed in the calling on Saturday last of
some twenty of the ladies in the form
of picnic surprise for their sister, Mrs.
G. B. Whiting of Johnson. 1t was
evidently a genuine surprise to her
and we'll might she exclaim as she
did, "What shall | do?" for it was
at the hour of high twelve. But the
callers soon set her mind to rest, for
they kindly invited her to be their
guest for the rest of the day. They |
soon had the tables spread and boun-
tifully loaded with the good things |
they had brought for the occasion
After refreshments they took in a
view of the village from the surround
ing hills. Not being content with one
for the sister they closed up
the pleasant visit by asking her TO
accept from the members of the chap
ter as a token of their regards for her
one of Lang & Campbel's splendid
silver pickle casters and hoped that
the three letters, go. E. s." would
ever remind her of the pleasant call.
Mrs. Whiting in a few we'll chosen
words accepted the token of sisterly
owe and assured them that fherp past
nerited it, she would endeavor in
jhe future to prove worthy of their
rue sisterly regards.
