In marriage at the home of the bride IN /
Coventry on Wednesday evening, Sept. IA. |
Groom and bride had both been employees |
In the Peerless factory and had by their /
est1mable qualities made many friends.
Thereiwas large number of relatives and /
friends present. Tokens of esteem were .
numerous. The difficulties of an overland
passage were laughed into nothingness by
many who attended from this village, and
everything went as merry as a marriage
bell. Many congratulations and much
rice was in evidence. These good people
are to make their future home at Derby
Line. Their loss will be seriously felt in
church interests and among our people
generally, but our compensation is in the
fact that another place will make gain

followed, several, of the mountains crossed
on the way to California-and most pleas

Mr.. Case in March, they presented an ex-

orange groves and grape vineyards, and
the roses were quite beyond description.
Mr.. Case gave very interesting and in
structive talk, showing great deal of ex-
perience and careful observation. His op-

growth of the west, not only of Chicago,
but Minneapolis, st. Louis and other west

many years, However, he paid a glowing
