MARRIAGE IN ORCHARD.
Unusual Setting for Wedding With Add
ed Decorations.

Brattleboro, July l0.--A novel we'd
ding took place at ii o'clock yester-
day forenoon at the summer home of
Mr.. and Mrs. e. B. Barrows on Ames
Hill, when their daughter, Miss Mabel
Fletcher Barrows, was united in mar
rage to Arthur Wallace Peach, son of
Mrs. Casper Moran of this town, in the
orchard, amid beautiful decorations of
evergreen and daisies, by Rev. ID. +.
Trout, pastor of the Universalist church.
The bride entered beneath arches OF
evergreen on the arm of her father, who
gave her in marriage. She was gowned
in white radium silk over white satin,
trimmed with rose point lace, a family
heirloom. sent to the bride by a cousin
in Chicago Her only ornament was a
diamond pendant, the gift of the BRIDE
groom.
The wedding couple were attended by
Miss Emma Barrows, sister of the
bride. and Jay Gordon Peach, brother
of the bridegroom
Among the out-oftown guests were
Miss Alice Kingman of birmingham,
Miss Dorothy Bosworth of Elgin, H.,
and Rev. +. c. Leeining of Biddeford.
The bride attended the Brattleboro high
school and Bradford academy. Mr.. Peach
is a graduate of the Brattleboro high

Ladies' Sweaters

The Sweater is a garment that has
become one of the most useful wraps
we can buy. 1t is a garment we can
wad up in any shape or put in any
package and ii will come out TO look
as good as new. No one now days
thinks of going on vacation without
a good Sweater, and for automobiling
il is indispensable.
We have just received large ship
ment of our fall Sweaters. These are
the Hoag Sweaters, that is made
from very heavy, double twisted
yarn, and is very close knit gar
ment; has the new roll collar and the
interviewer pocket that will not tear
down.
We can give you a good Sweater
in children's sizes at 9S cents each;
Misses Sweaters at from S1.75 to
S2.9S.
In Ladies' Sweaters we can give
you all sizes and eolors, at SOS,
S39S and S5.9s. The special
heavy Sweaters with the new roll

Good Man For the Place.

Wdth the resignation of ID. j.. Morgan
as superintendent of the house of cor
rection at Rutland, it Is only natural
that there should be some casting about
for his successor, and the next most
natural thing is that Sheriff Frank II.
Tracy OF Washington county should be
prominently mentioned to fill the yaean-
cy. 1t is no discredit to anyone to
say that Mr.. Tracy looms large as the
best equipped man in Vermont for the
position. He has shown himself capable
of handling prisoners to their own bene-
fit, as well as to the satisfaction of
the state at large. To Mr.. Tracy, the
prisoner is man who can be helped,
and he has demonstrated that his is the
helpful hand. Quietly working at his
post as sheriff he has called attention
to himself and his methods, not from
other counties in Vermont alone, but
from all sections of the country. His
reputation is not confined to the bound
aries of this state, but rather extends
to those places where humane and profit
able treatment of prisoners is a theme
OF discussion. Mr.. Tracy is such man
as brings out the good in the fallen,
and does much to put them on the right
path that leads into the future. His
methods have worked wonderfully we'll
and with wider field there is no rea-
son why he should not accomplish great
er things. II Mr.. Tracy wants the po-
sition at Rutland there will have TO be
some good reasons given if he is passed
oyer.-St, Adams Messenger.
