WEDDING AT MERRYALL.

On Wednesday, March II, about 90 of the nearest relatives and friends assem- bled at the house of MT and Mrs William l.. Birkins. to witness the marriage of their daughter, Miss Mary E. Birkins. to Chauncey l.. Camp. The ceremony was performed at l2.S0 p. m. by an uncle of the bride, Rev H. II. Birkins, assisted, by Rev F. D. Luddington of Worthwhile, of whose church the groom is an active member. Sherman b. Green and Miss Hattie NJ. Couch escorted the bridal pair to their places and stood with them through the ceremony. Alter the con- gratulations the guests shared in the re- treatments that had been so amply pro- vided and all seemed to have a pleasant, social time. The happy couple took the 3 30 train for New York, and as they rode away the air was full of flying rice, corn. etc, accompanied by the usual ''old shoes" The bride was attired in dove colored serge and silk, with smi- lax in her hair and wore a beautiful cluster of flowers. The eldest son. Charles $. Birkins, has been in Colorado, for several years on account of his health and Mrs Birkins is an invalid; therefore it seemed very unfortunate that MT B!rkins was taken suddenly i'll few days before. and was unable to take any active part in the festivities. But it was so arranged that the bridal party stood where he could easily look upon them from his room and hear the words of the ceremony. Quite a variety of presents, useful as we'll as valuable, were presented to the bride. Mir and Mrs Camp have the best wishes and ear- nest prayers of their friends.-[Observ- pr

 LET US There are many who believe that HAVE it would be economy for New GOOD town to buy rock-crushing ma ROADS. chine, and engine to run it, that the crushed stone might be used on the roads. The macadam road from New town Street to the Depot needs attention at once. With rock crusher other sec tions of road could be macadamized. There is nothing that advertises town more favorably than good roads. Does anyone doubt that Newtown roads need improving?

 GOOD all readers. "Some Great LIBRARIES. Libraries of the United States" by s. G. w.

It is doubtful whether the pulpit or the press now sur pass, or even equal, the influence of tho public library and the tremendous power which is quietly but surely wielded by the GOOD librarians who are helping tC form the minds and guide the energies O our people. We have one of the fines systems of reference libraries in tht world, and the most widely diniused anC well-arranged system of public circulat ing libraries, thus offering a great edu cational opportunity to all who will talk, advantage of it. State, university anC city libraries of note are described, anC many beautiful illustrations of exterior' and interiors of some of the most noted help the reader to appreciate the facili ties afforded by this great educationa system. Our own local library is wor thy larger patronage, and it is hoped the efforts about to be put out in tha direction, will result favorably.
