MERCHANTS WILL FIGHT
TRIBAL TAX DECISION

Of this amount would mean several
hundr eds OF doll"rs. Not oily on the
stock he has on the first Of the year,
but the mere ant must pay the tax
on all goods purchased during the
year.
When It is considered th"t the hus-
mess men have not been called uron
to pay ttis tax for several yeNrs, and
that il it is enforced now they will
have to pay the b'rl teXes as W II,
il can re- 2dily be seen th-t it would
~'ean a small fortune TO some OF
them.

ONLY MAKES A BAD MATTED
 WORSE.

Perhaps you have never thought of it but the fact must be apparent to every one that constipation is caused by a lack Of water in the the system, and the use of drastic cathartics like the old fashioned pills only makes a bad matter worse. Chamberlain'S Stomach and Liver Tablets are much more mild and gentle in their effect, and when the proper dose is taken their action is so natural that one can hardly realize it is the effect of a. medicine. Try a 25c bottle of them. Sold by R. H. Beers & Co.,, Newtown; Taylor, Curtis & O.. Sandy Hook; w. N. Hurd, Long Hill; Ernest Hawley, Hawleyviile; A. B. Blakeman, Botsford; D. s. Mead, Rranchyille.

 Miss Ethel Wheeler of Monroe, and
 then the bride on the arm of her fath- CT, Andrew l.. Burr, who gave her away: As the bridal party left the church MendelSSohn's wedding march
 was played. The bride was dressed in a handsome blue cheviot trimmed with silk lace, and wore pretty hat of
 blue trimmed with lace and white

A reception immediately followed the ceremony at the home of the brides parents, Mir and Mrs Andrew L.

These are only few of the many arti- cles which beautify and adorn thls attractive home. Thursday morning, accompanied by MT Sipperley, we en- jOyed an automobile ride to Southport, covering seven miles in 20 minutes. 1t was with regret we bade MT Sipper- ley gOod-by to travel in the more pro- sa1c trolley. At Southport MT Slipper ley is putting down an artesian we'll for Dr w. B. Graves of East Orange, N. J. Closing with a word again about the Grange we express the hope that at no distant day MT Sipperley may be advanced to take the position of mas ter of the State Grange. He makes no claim to being a speaker, but we would like to see man of his enthusi- asm in the position. He would put ginger" into the Grange work, and by character he is we'll qualified for the place.

It was the rare good fortune of the editor of THE BEE to be entertained the other evening at the beautiful home of MT and Mrs Ebert N. Slipper ley of Westport, we'll and favorabIy known in Grange circles in Fairfield county and throughout the state. It was the writer's intention to arrive at MT Sipperley's home about 6 p. m., but late trains and slow trolley trip made it 6.30 when he stepped off the car at
 Westport, having missed MT Sipperley, who had gone in his automobile to Saugatuck to meet me. Seeing genial Sam Coley drive up to the watering tank a request for ride met with a hearty response, and in short time we were soon at MT >Sipperley's door, where his automobile stood evidently ready for a journey. A hearty, enthu- siastic greeting from MT Sipperley and a pleasant welcome from his wife made one at ease at once, and as soon as supper was out of the way, the host and hostess and their daughter, Miss Christabel, arose, donned their wraps, and their guest was invited to do the same. Not knowing whither he was bound the writer followed and in a few minutes all were seated in MT Sipperley's fine Duryea automobile
