SOMER VILLE-HILL.

The wedding of Miss Zola Daun
Hill and Albert Lester Somerville
occurred Tuesday evening at the home
of Mrs. Mary M. Hill on First avenue.
The room was decorated in an artistic
manner with evergreen, daisies, ferns
and potted plants and the decorations
were suggestive of the month and oc-
casion.
At eight O'Clock the bridegroom es-
corted by the best man, James Nc
Donald, and the bride by the brides
maid, Miss Zella Hill, entered the
parlor, meeting in prettily decorat-
ed corner of the room under an ever
green bell whose tongue was an
electric light, where the Rev. l.. X.
Whitman was awaiting them. The
ring ceremony was used and at $50
O'Clock the minister pronounced them
man and wife. Fifty-one friends and
relatives were present and for two
hours the house rang with the babble
of merry voices.
Two large tables held the presents
which were numerous-useful as well
as ornamental. There was chinaware,
silverware, cut glass and pictures,
beside many other articles of greater
or less Importance, speaking eloquent
ly of the good wishes of their friends.
Miss Hill is graduate of the Mont
pelier high school and was employed
in Gleason's store for several months,
winning the esteem and respect OF all.
Mr.. Somerville is young mar
from Moretown, who is employed in
the Central Vermont freight office il
this city and during the few years he
has been IN town has made host o.
friends whose congratulations were
heartily given.
Mr.. ard Mrs. Somerville left on thu
night train for New York. The,

were intercepted there by a party o
friends and fell prey to an awful on
slaught Of rice throwers.

Letter to William Miller.
Montpelier, Vt.

Dear Sir: sit costs as much to put
on poor paint as good "a common
saying and true--it costs much more
to put on poor paint; more gallons.
Poor paint is paint and barytes or
paint and sand or paint and lime or
paint and chalk or paint and benzine
or paint and water; these are the
usual cheats; there are others.
1t takes more gallons of paint-and-
a-oheat than of honest paint; and the
cost of the labor of painting is so
much gallon-one gallon costs as
much as another, for labor.
This is the way to reckon your costs
for this year; but how about next
year?
Paint Devoe, and next year costs
nothing; year after year the same ;
the same for several years.
Paint ANYTHING else, and your costs
recur according to what you paint
with. Some of the mixtures wear
one year; some two; some three.
1t costs twice, three times. four
times. five times, as much to paint
with cheat as to paint with Devoe.
Yours truly,
F. w. Devoe e. 90.
P. s. Abbott & Bailey sell our paint.
