A Mllaca correspondent accuses the
UNION of being opposed to Mr.. W. S.
Foster of that place for county attor-
ney. We wish that correspondent to
distinctly understand that the. UNION
is not opposed to Mr.. Foster, On the
contrary the UNION esteems Mr.. Fos-
ter very highly, and if he should be
elected county attorney we believe he
would discharge the duties of the office
in a manner entirely satisfactory to the
taxpayers of the county.

CETTEV-pVERCE

At high noon, Wednesday last,
Mr.. William E. S. Celley of Fairlee
was married to Mrs. Angela L.
Pierce of Orfordvil1e. The wedding
took place at the church, which was
very tastefu1ly decorated with ever
green's, wild c1ematis and flowers.
The attendance filled the church to
overlooking and the music, fur
nished by Mrs. Nellie Morey of Bos-
ton, was greatly appreciated. The
ceremony was performed by Rev.
Sherman Goodwin of Oxford.
After its conclusion, a reception,
rendered by the Ladies' Society, was
held at the grange hall, where re-
freshments were served, and the
numerous friends of the bride and
groom had an opportunity to offer
their congratulations and see the
wedding presents. The presents
were both numerous and elegant
and were still arriving at the time
of the reception. Some, for lack of
time, were not unpacked.
The reception was very pleasant
affair, and the commodious quarters
were crowded with friends anxious
to shake hands with the bridal pair,
while the tables, beautifully COW
cred with things good to eat, re-
ceived their fair share of attention.
There were the usual showers of
rice when the groom surrey arrived
to take away the happy couple and,
amid the fertile showers and the
Haunting co1ors with which the
carriage had been decorated by jovia1
friends, Mr.. and Mrs. Ce1ley drove
to their home in Fairlee. They
took the evening train to Montreal
and will be at home after the 18th.
The home of Mr.. Celley is very
pleasant one, situated near the
southern line of Bradford, on the
river road, and he is a gentleman
we'll known in this vicinity. Nor is
his fame or popularity confined
within narrow limits. Mrs. Celley
is very we'll and favorably know in
the town of Oxford, where she has
taught school for a number of years.
Her scholars and their parents make
for her a host of friends and they
were thoroughly in evidence on
Wednesday. She is a native of
Vershire and was educated at Plym-
outh, n. H.

candidate, had So votes, being elect

Letter to Chas. R. Craig,

Dear Sir: You know a good paint
when you see it. Devoe lead and
zinc is the paint that costs half as
much as lead and oil because it
wears twice as long.
But it looks no better, when first
put on.
You must wait a little to see the
difference.
The first summer takes off the
gloss of lead and oil; the second
summer it ehalks; the third, it
wants repainting. 1t probably spots
in a month or six weeks; the gloss
goes off in spots or in sections.
Devoe lead and zinc even holds its
gloss longer than lead and oil wears.
The loss of gloss marks the begin
ming of wear, but it keeps out water
ten years, in favorable conditions.
Painters think three years is
enough. 1t is, for lead and oil
