A very pretty midsummer wedding
took place at the residence of j. b.
Douglas on the South Main street road
on Wednesday evening of last week.
Miss Stella Douglas, the oldest daughter
of the house. was the bride, and Clyde
Olmstead of East Middlebury, the groom.
Rev. Mr.. HOgle of Ripton performed the
ceremony. The house was beautifully
decorated throughout, the room in which
the ceremony took place especially so,
there being bridal arch of evergreen,
backed by pink and white gladioas and
an aisle stretching therefrom to the
stairway. made of ropes of evergreen in
which nestled punches of sweetpeas.
The bride wore a gown of white satin
with chiffon and pearl passementerie,
and carried a boquet of white bridal
roses. The maid of honor, Miss Carr of
Rutland, was gowned in white silk aud
pearl passementerie and carried pink
roses. Grace Vincent, the flower girl,
wore an embroidered robe over pink silk.
The ushers were Messrs. Hunt. Morse,
Burns. Robbins. Severance and Newton.
Refreshments were served from the
dining room by Caterer Willard of Mid
dlebury. who had as her assistants a
bevv of daintily clad maidens. A sister
of the bride, Miss Florence Douglas,
served the bridal cake. Among the
guests present from out of town we're ::
John Sheldon, Aurora. H.; Mr.. and
Mrs. Germond, Misses Maud and Grace
Germond, Mr.. and Mrs. Griffith, Rut-
land the Misses Vail Of Orwell and Mr..
and Mrs. Griffith of sudbury. The
young couple will make their home in

NThe Labaree Concert and Festival.
"Small but select may be a trte eX-
preston, but no other describes the
audience which gathered at the town
hall on Tuesday evening on the occasion
of the Labaree society's concert. The
best musical talent of the younger set of
the village was on the program, and Miss
Pelton of New York had kindly consented
to sing number. Few occasions In the
village have brought together so many
trained voices and instrumental playing
of such a high order. and that the
audience appreciated the opportunity
for gratifying its love of music was indi.
Gated by the numerous encOres. The ice
cream festival which followed gave OPP.
portunity for social Intercourse, and the
occasion was altogether an enjoyable
one. It is gratifying to learn that
though the audience was small the box
office receipts were not, and that the
society cleared a very substantial sum.
The entertainment was gotten up by
Mrs J. II. Stewart. Following is the
program of the evening. Each number
was encored one or more times

NO RECOUNT.

city Council Decides against Recount of
the Votes Cast for Mayor-Mr. Bricker
Accepts the Councils Decision.
Men honestly differ regarding many
things, and as the wording of the laws
governing the case is not as plain as 1t
might be, it is by no means surprising
that all should not have been of one
mind regarding Mr.. Bricker's applica-
tion to the city council for re count
OF the votes cast at the recent city
election for the Office OF Mayor. The
vote stood two in favor OF and four
against it. The members voting against
granting it say that their belief is that
it cannot be done lawfully aud much as
they might desire.it, consider it their
duty to follow and obey the laws as
they understand them. The BANNER
stated the points at issue upon which
the matter hinged two weeks ago and
it is consequently unnecessary to give
them again.
Mr.. Bricker has placed in our hands
the following open letter TO which we
most cheerfully grant space;
Believing that harmony and the
good will OF our fellow townsmen are
the essential qualifications to good cit
izenship, feel it my duty to say
through the medium of the press that
accept the action Of the council as
final. The charter provides that the
council shall be judge OF the election,
return and. qualifications of its own
numbers. They have taken action on
my petition for recount and by a vote |
OF four 10 two have passed judgment
against granting a recount. There
fore In the interests of harmony | con-
slider the matter as ended and heartily |
Mr.. Francisco on his |
election. In my opinion the welfare |
of our city is far more essential than
petty quarrels between faction or pol
itical parties. Who shall be mayor
should not enter into or be disturbing
factor that might prevent unity OF
thought and action among our fellow
citizens aud be detrimental to the
building up of our city. In union there
is strength. If we all pull together
we may accomplish mucn. We hope
to see more new Industries locate in
our city. We went TO see it grow and
become an important city celebrated
for its manufactures, its business en-
terprises, churches, schools, public
parks, fine streets and its intelligent
public spirited people. We wish for all
these things and firmly believe that If
we are united in our efforts there is
nothing too good, nothing so big that
we dare not reach out after.
