NEwBURY AGAIN AT THE FRONT.
Those who are interested in the
merging of the Boston and Maine
and the Hartford roads, and who
have read Governor Diapers bill
will be glad to learn that he and
his bill have champion in no less
a person than our own Edwin A.
Bayley, the representative of Lex
ington, Mass, and we may well
take pride in the following clipping
taken from the Boston Daily Adj
vertiser. The Governors bill, so
called, creates a holding company
to acquire Boston and Maine stock,
and provides that, once acquired,
this stock shall not be sold without
the consent of the Legislature.
1.-THE feature of the day was the speech
of Rep. Bayley, of Lexington, which con-
sumed about two hours of the afternoon,
in defense of the Governors bill. The
Lexington member is first year man,
and his strong and able argument was a
revelation to many concerning his talent,
for he has modestly kept his seat most of /
the year. The supporters of the Governor
had been somewhat weighted by the fact |
that the chairman of the railroad COM
mittee is the leader of the opposition, but
Bayley's taking up the standard yester-
day has enthused all the majority. 1t was
a mastery speech and all the more re-
markable in view of the fact that he was
assailed with an almost continuous fusil-
AIDE of questions. But he answered every |
one with logic as we'll as with fiery elo- |
quence, and for once Norman White |
crossed swords with his superior as a
fencer. Bayley was applauded at great
length"
GREER-GOODWIN WEDDING.
On Tuesday evening June % at
the home of the aged grandfather,
John NJ. Goodwin Sr. there were
united in bonds of matrimony Miss
Lois Goodwin and Charles Hender-
son Greer. The double ring cere-
mony was performed by the Rev. c.
H. Shank. The home was hand
somely decorated, garland in ever
green. while japanese lanterns de
corated the grounds. The bride
and groom who are very popular
and we'll known have bright and
prosperous prospect. They were the
recipients of many valuable and
useful presents, which showed the
esteem in which they were held by |
their many friends. Miss Goodwin |
is the only daughter of John NJ. and
Ada Goodwin. Their many friends
from the adjoining towns of South |
Ryegate, Groton, Fairlee, Post Mills |
and Wells River did not have the
opportunity to say good bye, as
they preferred to modestly slip away
by a side door where an automobile |
was in waiting, thus avoiding
shower of rice, confetti and old shoes. !
Charles says he prefers rice best
when it is well cooked.
