occur in a printing Office YVES found in
the notice which appeared in our col
umns of tie Curtis Harris marriage.
The paragraph referring to the beauti-
full and lovely maid of honor, Miss Vir-

by the printer, but in the ceremony
Miss Harris was a charming factor and
was queenly in a lovely gown of pink
chiffon over silk, carrying Easter lilies,
and was greatly admired by the assem-
blage of guests.

The citizens of Verona have taken up
the matter of erecting a new school
building and the question of issuing
bonds to secure funds will soon be voted
on. 1t is a matter of surprise that a
town with the record for educational
work that Verona has always sustained
has not long since provided up-to-date
buildings for her school. No better
time to do it than now could be had
and we hope to see a handsome build
ing ready for the coming session on
some beautiful hill in that lovely and
much loved old town.

Quite a number of our merchants
have signed an agreement to close
their business houses at 6 O'Clock after

and commendable one and should be
followed by every business man where
practicable. The public soon grow &C
customed to shopping earlier in the af-
%ternoon and no business or trade is lost
to anyone, as every house stands on
the same footing. The clerks deserve
a little recreation and in getting it they
are better enabled to do the work re-
quired of them.
