The bridal couple entered the parlor
accompanied by Miss Marcia Pember

best man. The bride was handsomely
gowned in blue and white foulard,
trimmed with white silk and applique
and embroidered chiffon. The brides
maid was dressed in white. After the
ceremony congratulations were extend
ed and a wedding breakfast was
served, at which the bride cut and
served the wedding cake which was
made by her mother. Mr.. and Mrs.
Goodell received many handsome we'd
ding gifts. The young couple left on
the go train for Boston. After their
return they will board with Mr.. and
Mrs. Huntley. They have the best
wishes of many friends here and in

Goodell, and in Dummerston, the for
mer home of Mrs. Goodell.

Desperate Straits of Mccullough Men.
IFrom the Rutland News.l

II looks as if the supporters of John G.
Mccullough for governor were weakening
along the line. This is evidenced by
paucity of arguments for their candidate
and an increasing tendency TO adopt any
means 10 divert attention from Fletcher
D. Proctor There is no question that
Mr.. Proctor's cause is making inroads on
Mr.. McCulloughs support every day. The
line Of campaign work now being pursued
by the Bennington mans contingent is
TO circulate, in some cases the intima ton,
in others the positive statement, that Mr.
Proctor is TO withdraw. They know this
position has not a leg to stand on, that
Mr.. Proctor is in the fight to stay to the
end. but nevertheless they maintain It,.
II is sign of desperation which we dis
like TO see attach itself to any candidates
cause
Not only are the Mccullough supporters
attempting to keep up this false i'm
preston that Proctor may withdraw but
IN their extremity they are dragging
Senator Proctor into the contest They
are even intimating that Senator Proctor
