The following is from the Burlington
Free Press of January 2: Edward A.
B "a 1chard and Miss Helen L. Barrows
were married by Rev. DR.. w. S. Roberts
at the brides home on Cherry street yes
teriay afternoon at 80 o'clock in the
presence of members OF the two families.
The ceremony wa, followed by recep-
ton from 2 until O'Clock, during which a
large number of friends called to tender
their good wishes to the couple who began
the new year in SO fitting a manner. Some
handsome presents were shown and re-
freshments were served.
The Caremont Advocate OF last Satur-
day said Towns Hotel at Bellows Fails,
one of the best known hostelries in Yer
mont, has closed its doors, and the block
will be converted into store and office rem
tails. This blow to Bellows Falls which
that lively village resents. The owner is
j. G. UlleIy of Brattleboro, and his pur-
pose is not SO much to do away with a
good hotel as to increase the rentals from
the property. This is the strict CONNER
cial point of view and no New England
community should resent it. Success is
measured by the financial rule nowadays,
and that man is accorded most respect who
make the biggest pile. Such man is gen.
orally held to be the most desirable in .
town, and Mr.. Ullery should be compli-
mented for trying to get nearer the head Of
the list in Bellows Falls. Perhaps the
chief damage to the village is in its ksenti-
ment. Other locations exist equally good
for hotel. but none so good for business
block. Anyway, no man is bound to pay
/ any attention to the wishes or welfare OF q
J community if BY so doing he impedes hi.
own progress towards higher prosperity.
This is the lesson of the past and the
; practice OF the present. 1t may be little
