Alonzo Martin died of pneumonia on
Friday last.
The convention held here last week was
very largely attended and was probably
the best musical assembly that was ever
held in this town. It was enjoyable in the
excellence OF the music from chorus and
orchestra, and useful in it's drill and
instruction. The director and the man

A. M. Annis and wife have returned
from Barton and bought their fathers,
G. III. Annis, farm, with stock and tools,
and taken possession.
Miss Emma Smalley went to Burlington
last week to attend the funeral of her
brother, George Smalley, accompanied by
w. J. Heath, a cousin of the deceased.
The great event of the season was the
marriage of Miss Elida Annis at the home
of her parents to Mr.. Ralph Willis of Wor-
cester, Mass, on the evening of Feb. 25th.
The ceremony was performed by Rev. j.
Vance of Newport Center, assisted by Rev.
III. Stiles of this place. The bridesmaid
and best man were Mr. Alex Annis, broth
er of the bride, and his wife. There were
about 20 friends and relatives present and
the newly-wedded couple were presented
with $50 worth of presents, among which
was silver tea set. The congratulations
were heartfelt and sincere and the even
ing passed away pleasantly, although a
feeling of sadness pervaded the company
at the thought of losing Miss Annis from
among us. She has endeared herself to the
hearts of the people in this place and by
her going away we lose one of our finest
young ladies and an efficient member and
organist of the church and one who is be-
loved by all. Mr.. Willis was former AL
bany boy, but for the past five or six years
has resided in Worcester, Mass, where he
is engaged in business. He is very fine
young man, esteemed and respected by all
his large circle of friends and acquaint-
ance. The happy couple made a few calls
on friends the next day and started early
on the morning of the 9th for their flu
ture home in Worcester, Mass. May
Heavens choicest blessings attend them
now and along their future pathway of
life. n1
