The death of Hiram R. Burke,
father of Mrs. Geo. f. Earle, occurred
at the Earle home on Brooklyn street
last Friday at about noon. The de-
ceased was IS years of age and had
been in feeble health for several
months.
Hiram Burke was one of Norris
ville's best known citizens and was
universally respected. He was born

ly his whole life here. For years he
was a contractor and builder and
many of the substantial buildings in
this village were built under his di-
rection. He is survived by two
brothers, A. M. Burke and Orlo Burke,
who are both old residents OF this
town, one sister, Mrs. Joseph Hager
of Glover and one daughter, Mrs.
Geo. F. Earle. The funeral was held
from the house Sunday afternoon at
two o'clock, Rev. DR.. l. P. Booth off,
ciating. Interment was''in the old
cemetery beside his wife, who was
buried about twenty-five years ago.

TWentY.Fitth Anniversary.

Last Saturday evening 81. Waite
was summoned from his place of busi-
ness to his home, by a telephone mes
sage and requested to come home at
once. Thus interrupted from busi-
ness on a busy night and with no ex-
PLANTATION, it is not strange that the
genial merchant started for home in
hot haste with visions of some dire
calamity awaiting his arrival. I'm
agine his surprise upon reaching the
house to find it filled with about fifty
members of the Eastern Star, who
had gathered in honol Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Waite's twenty-fifth wedding an
niversary. Itwas complete esurprise,
from which the worthy couple soon
recovered and assumed the role of
entertainers in their usually pleasant
manner. The company brought re-
freshments, which were served end the
evening was spent in social inter-
course. Before taking their depart
ure the couple were presented with a
handsome silver cream ladel from
Campbell's stock, inscribed with the
letters o. E. S. The presentation was
made in very pleasing manner by
Rev. DR.. Booth, and feelingly re-
sponded to by Mr.. Waite.

LamoilIe Valley Fair Next.

The next big event is the Lamoile
Valley Fair, which occurs next week
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
A much larger amount of money than
ever before has been put into the en-
terprise and it is safe to say that the
Fair this year will eclipse anything of
the kind ever seen in this section.
Unlike the order in years past the
management has arranged for three
solid days and there will be some
thing doing every minute of every
day.
One of the many attractions for the
first day will be an exhibition by a
troop of cavalry from Fort Ethan
Allen. This troop has been secured
at large expense. They will give
an exhibition inside the race track,
and this feature alone will be well
worth the price of admission. The
attractions for the other days are
many, including some of the best rae
ing ever seen on the Lamoille Valley
track. A force of men, under the di-
rection of W. f. Churchill, have been
busy for the past few weeks putting
the grounds in irst-class shape.
Many improvements have been made,
one of which is an extra gate at the
the south end, to be used exclusively
for an exit. This is an addition that
will be much appreciated by the pa
irons.

Troopers In Town.

Considerable excitement was caused
on Portland street last Saturday
noon, upon the arrival of a troop OF
cavalry from Fort Ethan Allen, on
it's way to an engagement at the st.
Johnsbury Fair. They we're h dusty,
good natured lot OF troopers and
seemed not much the worse for their
forty-odd miles of travel. They took
up temporary quarters on the La

they remained until Sunday morning,

seven o'clock and started for Walden
Heights, where they camred for the

Pretty Church Wedding.

The following from a Madison,
Connecticut, paper will be OF especial
interest to our readers in Morrisville
and vicinity as the groom is the son
of W. A. Bushee, former pastor OF
the Cong'l church here, and has a
host of friends in this vicinity
1t is not often that so many people
are seen gathered id the Congrega-
tional church as were present there
on Wednesday at II o'clock, Sept. 2,
to witness the ceremony which made
the pastor, Rev. George A. Bushee
and Katherine Amelia, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Horace Coe, husband
and wife. Rev. W. D. Massman of
New Haven, assisted by Rev. William
A. Bushee, father of the groom, con-
Quoted the ceremony. The church
was finely trimmed about the pulpit
and alter with green and white and
under beautifully arranged arch of
ferns the twain were united. The
ushers were young men belonging to
the Young Mems Improvement AS
sociation," which society Mr.. Bushee
has very faithfully and devotedly
cared for every since it originated
through his instrumentality. AS the
wedding party passed from the vesti-
bule to the carriage the glittering
showers of confetti that descended
upon them from the hands ofyouthful
friends, did not seem an incongruous
episode to the ceremony within the
church. The immediate relatives of
the groom present at the church were
his father from Woonsocket, r. l.,
and his sister, Alice Huntington, who
is a teacher in the International In
stitute in Spain, also his brother and
wife, the former professor in Clark
College In Worcester, Mass. Those of
the bride were her parents, Capt. 81.
N. Coe and wife of Madison and her
brother with wife and son from New
Haven.
The wedding gifts comprise many
handsome pieces of silver, cut glass,
and china, also lamps, pictures, a
box of gold coins and an oak revolv-
ing bookcase, the gift of the Y. M. L.
A. and other things ornamental and
useful.
