A very pleasant wedding took place
June Goth at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
Geo. Ranney of st. Johnsbury, when in
the presence of about rs relatives and
friends their eldest daughter, Elsie, was
united in marriage to Mr.. Ned Thrasher of
Newport. AS the clock struck the hour of
noon, the appearance of the wedding party
was announced by the strains of the
Mendelsshon wedding march played by
Mrs. F. HI. Pillsbury. The bride was pre-
coded by little Molly Kibling of Lebanon,
N. H., gowned in white muslin, and
Master Francis Carter of st. Johnsbury in
pink satin, each carrying a basket of
| flowers. Then came the maid of honor,
Miss Laura Ranney, sister of the bride,
followed by the two bridesmaids, Miss
Edith French of Winchester, Mass, and
Miss Mabel Brock of Barnet. The bride
was unattended. They were met at the
altar by the groom and best man, DR..
McCollom of New York City, a cousin of
the bride. The ceremony was performed
| by Rev. Mr.. Hunt of St. Johnsbury. The
bride was becomingly gowned in French
| brocade, wore tulle veil and carried
bouquet of bride roses. The house was
decorated with ported plants, cut flowers,
ferns and daisies, the color scheme being
| pink, green and white. After congratula-
| lions, refreshments were served in the
| dining-room by friends of the bride. The
large and magnificent display of beautiful
gifts testified to the popularity of both
bride and groom. After a short trip to
Burlington and vicinity Mr.. and Mrs.
Thrasher will reside in Detroit, Michigan.

A sad accident occurred last Wednesday
afternoon which resulted in the death of
Will Rowan, the oldest son of John Rowan.
In company with another young man, he
went out hunting and when nearly ready
to return home they met some girls, and it
was proposed that each take a turn in
firing at mark. The young man who was
with Rowan fired and then handed the gun
to one of the girls. Young Rowan was
lying down at the time, his head resting
on his hand. AS the girl was about to fire,
something was said which caused her to
turn suddenly toward Rowan when in
some unaccountable manner the gun was
the bullet entering Rowan's
head just above one eye and lodging in the
brain. He was carried to his home and
lived until about seven in the evening, but
never recovered consciousness. Funeral
services were held at the M. E. church
