was dubious about doing business for

Wedding Bells.


Again the wedding bells have
pelled forth joyous notes, and two
hearts beat as one.
October 18th at the home Of the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. L. B.
Aldrich, occurred the marriage of
Miss Nellie Aldrich and DR.. T. A
Mayhem, two Of Wellington's most
prominent society people. Only the
immediate friends and family were
present. The ceremony, sOlemnized
by Rev. A. S. Henderson, was short
and impressive.
Both parties are well known to the
people Of Wellington. and words fail
to express the esteem in which they
are held by their many friends.
DR.. Mayhem has been a praclicing
dentist in this city for several years.
He is regarded by our people as up
right and honorable model young
man-both in business and social
circles.
Miss Aldrich has lived in yelling
ton for several years, and has been
one Of the most charming social
lights in the city. Her kind and
courteous manner has won her many
friends.
Many presents were received from
friends in this city and abroad. The
bride and groom left last night for
Wichita, where they spent the night,
going from there to Kansas City,
where they will visit Miss Gertrude
Crawford for a few days, going from
there to Chicago, where they will visit
with DR.. Mayhew's parents, returning
to this city in about ten days.
Although a very impressive we'd
ding, there was one very funny Incl.
dent that will long be remembered
by all present. After the ceremony
had been Pronounced, DR.. Mayhem
discovered, to the CONSERVATION OF all
present, that he had forgotten his
license. He then, accompanied by
Elmer Layne, grabbed his hat and
rushed up town, looking for the pro-
bate Judge. After rushing up and
down the crowded streets, they dis
covered that Judge Ferguson was out
of town. Again they paved up the
earth-tOr it was only an hour until
train time-in their efforts to find
John Willard, the deputy. After get
ting a number OF friends to assist
them in their search, they found John,
and were again confronted by an i'm.
pediment, for John informed them
that it was necessary for them TO get
a notary public before they could get
the license. Just then George Merker
happened along, and in his excite
ment Mr.. NJ. hastily explained his pre-
dicament, and grabbing George by the
collar, fairly dragged him to the court
house. In the meantime the guests
were holding their breaths and anx.
iOusly watching the secondhand on
their watches.
After the license was procured the
wedding ceremony was again pro-
nounced, and the happy couple were
greatly relieved. Their trunk will
no doubt prove a source of amusement
to the people at Wichita, for il was
very appropriately decorated with
placards, very much in the order Of
following: "LOok out for a red-head-
ed tooth carpenter and his bride"
Those present were Mr.. and Mrs.
Elmer Layne, Mrs. Baumstock Of Harp.
er, Mr.. and Mrs. Newton Caldwell.
Mrs. Lyman Naugle, Robert Mclean,
the family and Alvah Layne.
The VOICE joins hands with their
many friends in wishing them "bon
voyage" on their journey over the sea
of life.

DR.. J. A. Collier of oxford, was over
Thursday. He is the gentleman whom
the Mail reported as having asked
Long some questions during his speech
there on Monday. The Mail also
characterizes him as the VOICE cor.
respondent at that place, which is
untrue. DR.. Collier SAYS he only asked
Long three questions and from all re-
ports, one was enough to muddle the
newly-converted gold standard con-
gresham. Mr.. Long was expatiating
on the value of silver as measured by
gold. DR.. Collier asked him:
''By what do you measure gold?"
The question evidently knocked him
of his feet.
"By what do l me Isure gold?" ex-
claimed the good looking congressman.
"Yes sir" replied the doctor.
"Why, l measure gold by ITSELF"
said Mr.. Long.
"Why not measure silver by itbelf?"
inquired the doctor.
"YOu can II you want TO-" replied
Long.
1t will be seen, OF course, that the
question and the admission knocks
Mr. Longs theory Of measuring every
thing by gold into smithereens.
The Mail says the questions were all
answered satisfactorily. or course
they were!

BROAD TIRES.


TAUNTON, Mass.-A public hearing
was given before the committee on
ordinances last evening, on the matter
of broad tires law for this city. The
matter was brought about by Samuel
\. Dean. who has done so much for
the good roads movement in this state.
Mr.. Dean submitted a sample ordi-
nance. which specified that three-inch
tires should be placed on all four
wheeled wagons carrying 1000 pounds
or more. provided the vehicle be with
out springs, and fouTinch tires on
tip-carts, under the same conditions.
For teams with springs, the ordinance
specifies that the law shall apply to
those carrying $500 pounds or more.
The committee was inclined to look
but Mr.. Dean and others warned the
committee that the entering edge was
what was needed, and the committee
decided to report the ordinance as it
stood. During the hearing, the strip
of road between New Bedford and Sis
sons was pointed out as an example
of what can be done by the use of
broad tires. The Winnicunnet road
between Taunton and Norton, was also
pointed out as an example, these two
roads comparing favorablY with the
best macadamized surfaces in the city
and the Winnicunnet road, at least be
ing only of common loan and sand.
An ordinance was also prepared ant
will be reported, making it an offens'
punishable by fine of not more thar
$50 to sprinkle tacks and similar sub
stances where bicycles are apt to en-
counter them. The ordinances are APP
to go through, as both were hearth,
favored and no objection appeared
This will place Taunton in the lead OF
the ire question. The transfers ar
to be given until 1900 to make tn
changes, and the penalty for violation
will be not less than S. nor more thar
500 for each offense.

Are Those Owned by a. w. Wright.
A representative of the RECORD ac-
cepted the invitation of Mr.. S. Goodwill,
superintendent of A w. Wright S farms,
to ride with him last Saturday morning,
and with Mr.. Goodwill as guide visited
the different farms: Woodbine, Chester
Delavan, Robin Hood, Runnymede
Grassmere, Grafton, Beeson, Fairview
Ward, Cambridge, Castleton, Bally
Brophy, Ely and Scott, and at each farm
found the work conducted in the most
systematic and thorough manner. Mr..
Goodwill is not "book" farmer, but
has served long years in the school Of
experience, and is an up -to-date practi-
cal farmer. At one place he would give
advice, at another offer suggestion,
and at all ever watchful of the details of
the farm management.
The first farm visited was Woodbine,
just south of the cemetery. On this
farm has Just been finished one Of the
neatest and most convenient farm houses
in the county, and this house Mr. Good
will will occupy with his family. On
this farm is one of the largest, ii not the
largest, barn in the county, and with it
are two large silos. Everything has a
place and everything is in its place.
The crops are looking well, the hay,
wheat and rye are harvested, as indeed
they are on all the farms under the
supervision of this most efficient super
intendent
The orchard on Woodbine deserves
special mention. A year ago it was
practically valueless, but Mr.. Goodwill
washed every tree with a strong soap
suds, and scraped every tree, and today
every tree is thrifty and not an insect or
a worm can be found on them.
On the Chester farm Mr. Goodwill
has sixteen acres planted TO sugar beets
and mangles. which he thinks will
average thirty-tive to forty tons TO the
acre, and defies any one i'll the state to
show finer lot of roots.
On Grassmere there are 30 acres Of
corn, and while Mr.. Goodwill is not
boastful, he says there isn't another
corn field in the state like it.
AT Runnymede the sound of the ham.
mar and saw greeted the visitors. Mr..
Young with force of men is building a

On all of the farms are large, and
well kept buildings, betoking not only
the liberality of the owner, but the Wig
lance and painstaking care of the
superintendent.
