The truth of the old tradition that "All
brides are beautiful, and all bridegrooms
happy" was pleasantly illustrated last
Saturday evening, when over one hun
bred friends and neighbors assembled to
welcome to their new home Mr.. and Mrs
Myron Bacon.
In behalf of the donors Mr.. James
Colby in a few well chosen words pre-
sented the gifts to the happy couple; and
Mr.. S. S. Jewett speaking for them, re-
turned thanks for the same. During the
evening bountiful Treat was served, and
at a late hour the guests separated with
tinued prosperity and happiness of the
newly welded pair.
