A WHITING WEDDING.
4 Massachusetts Man Wins Vermont
e-Boomer-Kelsey Nuptials.

A Massachusetts Man Wins Vermont
kelsey Nuptials.
One of the prettiest of home weddings
ever seen in Whiting was the marriage
en- Wednesday evening, Nov. 2f, at half
past seven o'clock of Miss Ardell NJ,
only daughter of MIR. and Mrs. C. B.
Kelsey, to Edward l.. Boomer of Spring
field, Mass. The large double parlors
and hall were very tastefully decorated
with running pine, evergreen, potted
plants and cut flowers. The principal
flowers used were white chrysanthemums
and roses. The bride and groom stood
under beautiful floral arch in the center
of which was suspended monogram of
the letters X and b done in white
chrysanthemums. Rev. j. II. Robinson
of Brandon performed the ceremony in
his usual pleasing and happy manner,
the ring ceremony being used.
The bride wore handsome toilet OF
gray faile with trimmings of velvet and
rich lace on the bodice. She carried a
beautiful boquet of bride roses. The
best man was S. j. Kelsey of Middle
bury, brother of the bride, and Miss
Robinson of Brandon played the we'd
ding march.
Immediately after the ceremony fol
lowed reception, and elegant refresh
ments were served under the directions
of Caterer Collins. The happy couple
were the recipients of many useful an6
beautiful presents, which show the higl
esteem and regard in which both bride
and groom are held by large circle OF
friends, who wish them a happy anC
prosperous married life.
Mr.. and Mrs. Boomer left later on the
IL o'clock train, but not until they had
been showered with rice and overwhelmed
with the kindliest of parting salutes.

Dora Cushman's Case.

The injunction granted by Judge
Start eniolning States Attorney Fish of
Addison county from introducing let
tiers written by Mrs. Barrett to Poland in
the case of State VS.. Poland, was argued
before Chancellors Ross and Rowell at
Montpelier Tuesday. The question
whether the letters written by Barrett
to Poland belonged to him after having
reached their destination and whether
the latter or the states attorney has a
right to publish these against the will of
the writer will be effectually decided by
the outcome of the Injunction. States
Attorney Fish appeared for himself and
s. c. Shurtleff appeared for the orators.
The decision will probably not be given
for few days, as the question is a new
one and will require careful considera-
tion by the chanceilors.

DEATH OF REV. A. F. KEITH.


lNlNerSiNe, Nallloiilias
Our local readers will all be surprised
and many of them panied to hear OF the
death of Rev. A. f. Keith, who up to a
few years ago was the loved pastor of
the Congregational church'at this place.
We have received copy of the Brockton
(Mass.) Times of Monday, which gives
the full particulars, and we can do nc
better than to copy it i'll full. The
Times says:
Although not entirely unexpected, II
was with great deal of sadness that
the relatives and friends of Rev. Adel-
bert f. Keith learned of his death in
South Riverside, Cal, on Saturday al
ternoon. Two years ago Mr.. Keith. his
wife and daughter, Miss Esther, left fol
California, where it was hoped change
of climate would improve Mr.. keith's
declining health. For a time the change
seemed to work an improvement, but
about three weeks ago he had to take tC
his bed, and on Saturday noon breathed
his last The word was received at
Campello on the same day about )
o'clock, and was yesterday announced
at the South Congregational church.
Edward Keith, the only son of the
deceased, discontinued his studies at
Amherst college several months ago, and
went west to be with his father. The
remains will be brought to Campello,
and the body will probably arrive ON
Monday next The funeral will take
place on Monday or Tuesday afternoon
of next week at the home of the de-
ceased's mother, Mrs. Franklin Keith,
corner of Garfield and Main streets.
Prior to Mr.. Keith's pilgrimage West
he was employed in the office of the
George Z. Keith factory. He was a
member of the South Congregational
church for 10 years. While in the min
istry he held pastorates in Middlebury
VT, and Danielson, Conn. His genial
whole souled nature and his kind,
Christian disposition made him friends
everywhere. lie had three brothers,
George E., Cary d., andiMyron l.. Keith
lie was the senior child of Franklin
Keith's family. His sister, Mrs. Sidney
f. Packard died over two years ago OF
consumption, while on her way to Cal
ifornia. Mr.. Keith was 56 years of age.

Dig down to the cause of your sickness
If you want to get well and stay well.
Most likely it's indigestion. The irritat-
ing poisons of fermenting, putrid food,
left in the stomach by Indigestion, cause
headache, neuralgia, nervousness, dizzi-
ness, stomach-ache, nausea, irritabiity
and all the other well-known symptoms
of indigestion.
They also cause many other pains and
disorders which are often laid to other
causes and hence are not easily cured.
But as soon as the pOsons are removed,
all these symptoms and disorders disap-
pear, because there is nothing left to
cause them. Nothing succeeds in this
like Shaker Digestive Cordial, because 1t
prevents the undigested food from fer
menting in the stomach and helps the
stomach to digest its food.

To MY Dog "B1anco."

My dear, dumb friend, low lying there,
A willing vassal at my feet,
Glad partner of my,home and fare,
My shadow in the street,
look into your great brown eyes,
Where love and loyal homage shine,
And wonder where the difference lies
Between your soul and mine;
For all the good that have found
Within myself or human kind,
Hath royalty informed and crowded
Your gentle heart and mind.
l scan the whole broad earth around
For that one heart which, leal and true,
Bears friendship without end or bound,
And find the prize in you.
/ trust you as trust the stars;
Nor cruel loss nor scott nor pride
Nor beggary nor dungeon.bars,
Can move you from side.
AS patient under injury
As any Christian saint of old,
As gentle as lamb with me,
But with your brothers bold;
More playful than frolic boy,
More watchful than a sentinel,
By day and night your utmost Joy
To guard and please me well.
1 clasp your head lpon my breast
The while you whine aud lick my hand
And TINS our friendship is confessed,
And thus we understand.
All, Blanco! did worship God
AS truly as you worship me,
Or follow where my master trod
With your humility,
DID sit fondly at his feet,
As you, dear Blanco, sit at mine,
And watch him with a love as sweet,
My life would grow divine.

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1897-03-18

For several weeks past a man nam
ed Pierce, whose business seemed to
be that of q horse trader, has been
residing in house on Crooks crest
owned by Mr.. g. S. Hamill He be
came involved in debt with a num-
ber of our business men and when
they demanded their money he put
them off with an excuse saying he
would pay his bills the following day.
Saturday night, however, he conclud-
ed that it would be better to have
the money himself than to pay his
debts, so he pulled stakes and left
town, to the regret of his creditors.
