ton. The ceremony was performed at
O'Clock by Rev. NJ. f. Hardy in the pres.
ence of few friends, among whom were
the twin brother and the grandparents Of
the bride, who will reach their golden
milestone next June. Richly attired it
goes without saying that the bride was
charming. After the ceremony, in spite
of the unfavorable weather, quite a COM
pany of young friends invaded the house.
Refreshments were served and merry hours
enjoyed. The happy couple will remain
at the brides home for few days, when
they will leave for White River junction,
where the groom is in business with his
father. The best wishes for happiness
and prosperity of scores of friends will fol-
low them to their new home.

spain's sunken ships FIoatsd.

Perhaps the greatest mechanical feat of the
century has been the raising of some Of the
Spanish warships which were apparently shot to
pieces at Santiago. 1t seemed as though it was
utterly impossible to float them because of the
terrible damage inflicted by our guns, but the
task has been accomplished nevertheless. Dis
eases of the blood stomach, liver and kidneys
frequently wreck the health in a similar mannfr r,
so that there appears to be no chance Of recove a.
But when Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are taken
the disordered system is speedily restored to its
old time vigor and tone. This has been the re-
suit times without number. The Bitters will
regulate the liver bowels and digestive functions
purify the blood, and win fill the veins with the
rich red life fluid. You can buy this remedy in
any drug store, and under no circumstances
should you accept anything said to be "just as
good.
