The marriage of William J. Jeffer-
son to Miss Sarah Cooke was solem-
nized by Rev. G. N. Kellogg at the
home of the bride at an early hour
last Wednesday evening. A few in
yited friends were present, light re-
we're served and numerous
beautiful presents were left.
John EmmOns has remained in a
critical condition, with Dr.. H. Z. !
Douglass doing every thing possible
for his recovery. DR.. Wheeler of Bur-
lingt0n was called last week, but con-
sidered it unwise to undertake an
operation. Two of Mr.. Emmons'
brother Odd Fellows from Barre were
up Friday to fulfil the duties of that
organization.
Sunday and Monday must be
allowed the record, for thus far in the
season, of cold weather. The MUIR
curry failed to climb above s to 12o
below zero all day Sunday and was
considerably below that in the morn
ing and went to 1G0 below late in the
afternoon. Monday morning brought
it down to from "a to 800 below.
Fine weather for plumbers, ice and
fresh meat.
The result of DR.. Rich's examina-
tion of Carroll Harris Jersey stock
gave marked evidence of tuberculosis
in eleven out of eighteen head. 1t is
expected that the eleven will be killed
early next week. An examination of
Geo. Wolcott's stock failed to show
case. There seems to be a general
desire on the part of the village pat
rons, that the two herds supplying
the village milk routes be examined.
The cold weather had an effect upon
the attendance at the Woman's
Club on Monday evening. Papers
we're presented by Mrs. j. J. Billings
and Mrs. H. NJ. Rich, the former
treating upon "National Develop
ment to the civil war;" and the letter
upon "Iufuence of Cotton Mather."
Ia brief sketches, Mrs. 2. X. GIeed
touched upon Jews in America" and
Mrs. W. H. Robinson, The Monroe
Doctrine"
1t is understood that the committee
AInunistNruY, md Inhn
son, appointed to consider the adviS-
abiiity of uniting for the purpose of
supporting their poor, are of the
unanimous opinion that the poor
can be more cheaply cared for by
uniting than by the towns separately,
and if proper basis for dividing the
expense can be agreed upon, there is
fair prospect of uniting. OF course
rebuilding, or any ooher location,
would not be considered until it was
determined how many towns would
unite.
A. A. Grimes of this place. who
went to Boston last week, has made
arrangements to engage in the pro-
duce business at No. y Commercial
street. Mr.. Grimes is well known
among the farmers Of Lamoille and
Franklin counties. His will be d
strong firm financially, and one that
will undoubtedly merit the patron
age of farmers and produce shippers.
His nephew in Massachusetts will be
associa ted in the business, which will
be conducted under the firm name ol
Grimes Brothers & Co. Mr.. Grimes
family will move from here in few
weeks.
Dr.. H. D. Martin, the Oculist, will
open an office in the Randall house
January Is, where he can be con
suited until January %. His skill in
treating diseases of the eye and fit
ting those important organs to
glasses, is we'll known hereahouts.
The fact that a trained specialist in
any kind of business or profession is
much more capable in his speciality
than one who gives his time to sew
eral branches is fully confirmed by
DR.. Martins great success. Many
well known people in this and adjoin-
ing towns speak very highly of his
work and careful attention. His
card containing other towns and
dates can befound in another column,
As slight diversion in humdrum
school life, the closing hours of last
week 8 work in the grammar depart
ment at the Academy were devoted
to a mock trial in which Don Thomas
figured as the defendent, charged
with having appropriated 5000 in
cash from Hall & Cheney's store, The
evidence was so conclusive and the
case so we'll handled by the State
that Don was sent up for three years
at hard labor. The attorneys for the
prosecution were Will Utton and
Fred Beach; while Roscoe Sheldon
and Walton Hadley conducted an
able defense. Homer Bently was the
presiding Judge, with Miss Emily
Rublee and Cash Camp as assistants,
Emory Foss welded the pen and
Jimmie Clark, with pair of Officer
Towns strongest hand cuffs made
an impressive appearance as sheriff.
