The Moody-whIttIe Wedding.

The society event of the week was the
marriage of Mary Whittle to William Revell
Moody, it being solennized at noon at the
Congregational church Wednesday. The
church was beautifully trimmed with gold
en- rod and evergreen. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. II. B. Hartzler, he using
the English service. The bride was given
away by her father, Major Whittle, she
being beautifully dressed in white silk
null, wearing a veil and carrying BRIDES
roses. Her bridesmaid was Miss Fanny
Frary of Jonesville, VT, Mr. Williams
being the groom's best man. A reception
was held at the home of the bride immedi-
ately after the ceremony. Later in the
day Mr. and Mrs. Moody started on car
riage drive to be absent several days. They
will be at home at Mount Hermon after
Dec l.
Owing to the dry weather and low water
supply there is a great deal of sickness in
and about the town.
The Unitarians, to the number of about
100, picknicked at Central Park in Vernon
on Tuesday, the train stopping to accomo-
date them. A delightful time was the ver-
dict OF all.
Mr.. Michael Garry was taken suddenly

Go to the polls in good season next
Tuesday and vote for Woodbury. and Man
sur. Vote the Republican county ticket,
and don't let any personal feeling or pref
udice keep you from voting for the regular
Republican nominee for town representa-
tive. We hear of threatened divisions in
several towns, but these ought not to be al
lowed to materialize. 1t isn't a good year
for Republicans to help send Democratic
representatives to Montpelier.

A writer in the Central Africa Gazette,
from Tete, says that at the rate at which
elephants of all sizes are at present being
killed in South and Central Africa, there
is little doubt that in few years they will
be practically eXterminated in those regions
From Tete and Jumbo alone the traders
annually send 5000 hunters to the countries
north of the Zambesi, who shoot indiscrimi-
nately, regardless of an elephants age or
size of his tusks. The writer recommends
all the powers having territories in Africa
to form union and prohiolt the export
alton of tusks under ten pounds in weight.

Keep Your Promises.

Many people promise anything you ask
of them, but make small matter of keep
ing their promises. They enter into en-
gagements with you to do this or that, to
meet you or call on you at a certain time,
or to do some favor for you, and utterly
fail TO fulfil their engagements. This is a
very serious matter, this lack of fidelity to
promises and engagements. Surely we
ought TO keep sedulous watch over ourselves
in this regard. We ought to be faithful to
the promises we make, cost what it may.
1t is noble thing when we find out one
whose promises we are as sure of as of the
rising sun; whose simplest word is as good
as his oath: who does Just what he saws
he will do at the moment he says that he
will do it. That is the kind of faithfulness
God wants.. II. Miller. --i&MEa

The Time to Begin.

from tine Rutland Herald.
The lesson of the hour is that to get
back Ito prosperous times it is not neces-
sary to wait for presidential election
The time to begin voting against the Dem
ocratic tariff is at the very first election
and that comes in Vermont next week.
We shall elect Republican state and coun-
ty officers, but we want to give them ma
jorities which will mean something to OBJ
servers-those at Washington, for instance.
And we want to elect Republican officers
all through, especially representatives to
the legislature. How would the report
sound that Vermont sent fewer Democrats
to the legislature than ever before since the
party existed? How would it sound, upon
the other hand, if the fact was that it sent
as many as it did four years ago?
This is mighty good year to let Demo
Gratis stay at home.

There is one point about the tariff agita-
ton for Vermont Republicans to remem-
Der. In spite of the fact that the country
has been torn from end to end and its bust
ness ruined by the uncertainty of the past
two years. Mr.. Cleveland and his ''co-re-
formers" have no idea of allowing the new
law to be the end of the disturbance. The
Presidents letter to Mr. Catchings is
distinct threat that the agitation is to be
continued. His declaration that the Cor
man law is only a vantage ground from
which must be waged further aggressive
operations" means nothing less than this.
Mr.. Wilson of West Virginia has declared
in a speech in his home district this week
that the fight against protection must go
on "until all the strongholds of privilege
shall disappear" with much more of the
same kind. The size of Vermont's Re-
publican majority next Tuesday will mean
a good deal 1t should say, in no uncer-
tain way, that we have had enough of
Democratic tariff making. 1t is the indi-
vidual votes that will count.

Mrs. Susan A. stockwell.

After five years of infrmity Mrs. Susan
A. Stockwell passed away last Friday even
ing at the advanced age of 81 years Nearly
five years ago she sustained fracture of
the hip from which she never recovered.
Her death was the result of a general
breaking down rather than from any dis
ease. Mrs. Stockwel was born in Rutland,
Mass in the year 1912. In early life she
came to Brattleboro and was married in
1882 to Arad II. Stockwell Ten children
were born to them of whom seven are liv-

Bishop, live in this town, Abbie (Mrs. N.
S. Cole) in Sullield, Conn, George in North
Adams, Edward in South birmingham,
and Julia (Mrs. j. w. Stewart) in Spring
field, Mass. In her younger days when
blessed with health and strength she was a
helpful, energetic woman of great kindness
of heart, and many were the sick ones
whom she watched over night after night
after attending to her own household du-
ties, which were not light. The funeral
was held Monday at two o'clock and was
attended by Rev. Lewis Grout. All the
surviving children were present.

run a first-class store of its kind, carrying

The special committee appointed to in
vestigate the frauds which the Carnegie
company is alleged to have practiced in
making armOr plates for government
cruisers and war ships, have made their
report and find no doubt that deliberate
fraud was practiced. The government in
spectors as well as the company were at
fault, the inspectors assuming that the
company was watching its superintendent
and workmen, and the company, on the
other hand relying on the government in
spectors. The committee think there is so
much doubt about the quality of the plate
furnished for a half-dozen of the govern
ment vessels that they recommend, as the
only way of establishing its protective val
ne, that certain specified plates be removed
from the ships and submitted to ballistic
test To have this done a special appro-
priation by Congress will be necessary.

Individual Responsibility once More

1t has been so often said that Vermont
''sounds the keynote" of the fall elections
that this expression has come to have a
very stereotyped seeming. But this year
it is true in a very real and peculiar sense
that the Green Mountain state will sound
the note for which the people of many
other states will listen. In just one week
from the time a Democratic president gave
the lie to all his high pretensions and al
lowed the German tariff bill to become
law, Vermonts vote will be cast and its
result will be accepted by the country at
large as an expression of what her people
think of this measure with its gift of tens
of millions of dollars to the sugar and
whiskey trusts, its discrimination against
the products of northern farmers, its fail
ure to fulfil any of the high-sounding
pledges of the party which framed it.
There is no lack of conviction on these
oints on the part of Vermont Republi-
cans. The one essential thing is to make
sure that they come to the polls and ex-
press their convictions. If every Yer
monter should constitute himself COM
mittee of one to see that he himself votes
as he thinks and feels next Tuesday Wood
bury and Mansur would have a majority of
10000. The duty is an individual duty.
no good citizen can justify himself in neg
lecting it on the weaklings ground that

to be an epidemic of meningitis, affecting

first noticed the disease among the horses,

after the appearance of the disease among
the horses several children became i'll with
it and there have been one or more deaths.
