The following is from the Burline-

news. 1.-The home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Byron w. Field was the scene of
very pretty wedding Wednesday, June
5. when their youngest daughter, Jes
sic H., was married to William F.
Nye of Barton. The house was taste
fully decorated with flowers and ferns
and the happy couple stood in front
of bridal bower, consisting of wild
honeysuckle and snowballs. The
ceremony took place at two O. clock in
the afternoon, the wedding service
being read by the Rev. Levi Wild of
Royalton, a former pastor of the
bride. The bride was daintily gowned
in white marquisette over white
trimmed with handmade Maya lace
and wore a long bridal veil decked
with myrtle. At the conclusion of
the ceremony congratulations were
extended Mr.. and Mrs. Nye by large
number of friends from Ferrisburg
and other places. and dainty refresh
ments were served. A large number
of beautiful and useful wedding gifts
were presented to the bride. Among
those present from out of town were
Mr.. and Mrs. George Nye. father and
mother of the groom, three of his
sisters and Lyman Mason, all Of
Barton. Mrs. F. w. Webster of Bur.
lington, Mr. and Mrs. James Corey of
Shelburne, Mrs. Lillian Ligouri of

in the States, Mr.. and Mrs. Nye
expect to go to San Juan, Porto Rico,

MEAD FOR VICEPRESIDENT
Name to be Presented to the Republican
National Convention by Hon J. L.
Lewis OF North Troy.

That Gov. John A. Mead of Ver
mont is candidate for vice-president
is now confirmed. The Boston Globe
of Sunday contained large picture
of DR.. Mead and spoke as follows:
In his authorized announcement to-
day Saturday Gov. Mead said:
81 have consented to allow the
use of my name before the National
convention at Chicago on June Is as
candidate for nomination on the Re-
publican ticket for Vice President of
the United States. | have not in any
way sought the nomination but have
allowed my friends to use their own
good Judgment
When asked as to whether any dele
gates had been pledged to his support
he stated that he had no pledged
delegates. Further than this Gov.
Mead refused to make any statements.
It is understood that John L. Lewis
of North Troy, Who managed Gov.
Mead's campaign in the gubernatorial
contest in 1910, has been in the South
all winter and that he has been work
ing among delegates in that section
in the interest of Gov. Mead. 1t is
also understood that today's announce
ment comes as result Of encourage.
ment received after quiet investi.
cation in various parts of the country.
Under Chicago date line the Globe
said: Ex-State Senator j. F. Man
ming of Vermont. now Of Chicago
has made formal announcement OF
the candidacy of Gov. Mead of Yer.
mont for the Republican Vice Presi.
Dental nomination. The announce
ment was confirmed by a telegram
from Gov. Mead. which added thai

Musicians Examine the Prize Piano
Pronounce the instrument Most Excellent One. Come
In and See 1t. Last Count Just Two Weeks off,

The elegant S40O Obermeyer & Sons
piano on display in the Monitor Office
is attracting considerable interest
among the contestants and their
friends and musicians. This is the
grand prize in the great Monitor vot-
ing contest now nearing the close.
This instrument will be given away
June 26 and also IL other prizes by
the merchants, as previously an
nounced.
The piano has been played and ex-
amined by number of the local
musicians. who without exception pro-
nounce it an instrumert with an un-
usually rich tone. M. Ross, our
local piano tuner. pronounced it in
every way fine piano. Come in and
play it.
1t is very evident that little work
counts in this contest. A few SUBJ
scriptions will bring up any count and
few of the contestants realize this.
We want subscriptions That's what
we went into this for and that's why
they count. And there is plenty OF
chance to get subscriptions. Only
last week a Glover man called at the
office and left his subscription saying
he had been waiting to give it tf
some contestant but no one seemed te
want it.
Now. what do you think of that
girls? People are waiting to give
you subscriptions but you can't expect
they will hitch up and drive to you
place and find you for the sake O
giving you their votes. It's better
business policy for you to hitch up ant
go round and gather such chance
up yourself. as one or two of ou
contestants are doing.
Merchants coupons help too. espe
cially when they are bunched an
brought in and counted as per ou
special offer. Remember all thes
prizes are to be given away withou
one cents cost to anyone. Will yo
be one of the winners, or will yo
lose by few hundred votes.
There is one way to win-in life a
we'll as in this contestant that wa
is to work.
For every seven new subscribers
5000 extra votes. making a total c
1920 votes.
