that took place at $50 o'clock this morn
ing at the home OF Charles W. Mason and
wife, when their youngest son, DIR. Harry
c., and Miss Della Langley were married.
The psrlor, where the ceremony took

Promptly at the above-nsmed hour, and
to the sweet strains OF MendeIssohn's
wedding march, played by Miss Addie
Salisbury, the bride and groom appeared.
The bride entered the parlor by the door
leading from the hall, and the groom the
door leading from the dining room. They
met in the large bay window, which had
been made into an arch of evergreen and
flowers, and from which was suspended
huge bell of roses, Joined hands and were

The Gun Kicked,
WEST FRANKLIN. June 20

WEST FRANKLIN, June 20, 1903.
To the Editor of The american:
One of those "big guns" at South Han
cock has been discharged, pointing this
way, and all were surprised at its non-sf-
fectiveness.
No, am not skilled in the art of en-
chantment; IL were l would hardly dare
to accept Mr.. Wooster's very generous
offer. do not doubt his financial bill ty,
for it is reported that he has made large
sums OF money from fruit raising, not
withstanding the great ravages made by
the robin.
But fear that the extreme hatred Of
the robin has caused him to be like those
engaged in the Salem witchcraft-seeing
millions of robins devouring bushels of
straw berries, If none were about.
Yes, talk is cheap" when one makes
that kind. will take his word that it
have never had personal experience.
Strange as IT may seem, Mr.. Wooster ad-
mits of two sources OF knowledge, one of
which is the Rural Neio Yorker
What is wanted here Is an estimate of
the damage done by the robin to fruit
growers In Hancock county. Give us a
clear, concise statement, so far as observa-
tions extend, throwing "gush and filings"
one side.
There are thousands of robins In Han
cock county, not on fruit farms, devour-
ing countless mum bers of insects as well as
vast amounts OF the seeds of obnoxious
weeds and plants that are detrimental to
the farmer.
1t is not all ''song and sentiment" that
cause the people to espouse the cause of
the robin, but years Of personal observa-
ton, coupled with the reading of orni-
theological works, that lead the great
majority to favor this useful and beauti-
full bird. c. f. BUTLER.

\ Busted Issue.

The following paragraph from the
Boston Globe, an honest daily that
prints the news, is of interest at the
present time:
NEW YORK, June 17-At a stormy meeting of
the Reform club. 9th street and Fifth avenue, it
has been voted to wind up the affairs of the
organization socially and to revert to the origi-
ual tariff reform basis.
The club was founded about IS years ago to
further 'tariG reform. a social side also was
CLAIMED, but lately fell OFF, and 1t was decided
to sill the house. a balance of more than
$50, 900 was left, and the younger element fought
hard for the continuance of the organization,
maintaining that for the past five years not a
single tariff discussion had been heard in the
clubhouse and that ii should be held together as
a social club
The tariff question, they declared,
is ''dead issue''.
Tine original resolution carried. however. and
the money on hand will be devoted to the issu-
snce of tariff literature, only nominal club quar-.
tiers being maintained.
This leads the Boston Commercial
Bulletin to say: The abandonment of
the original free trade club of the
United States, with the express state
ment that free trade is failure, and
that the remaining funds should be
conscientiously wasted in losing
fight, marks the end of the long agony
that, inaugurated with President
Cleveland in 1884, stimulated by the
Mills bill at his instigation, and carried
into effect in the Wilson bill, cost this
country in time of profound peace
more loss, want and suffering from
1893 to 1897 than it has ever known
since in time of war.

dreds and thousands. He has multitude
of guests to lunch, multitude to dine, a
multitude to hear music, or to take part
in various kinds of ''drswing rooms" and

but a multitude in the aggregate.

He wishes all people OF mark to bask in

the benefit of their intellect or character
or whatever they may have that is worth
seeing or hearing. For he wishes to re-
ceive as well as to give.
And he is determined that his court
