CulbersOn-Beckwith

Roy H. Culberson, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred Culberson, of Wateryille,
N. B., and Miss Vera Louise Beckwith,
daughter of John C. Beckwith of Ath-
ems, Maine, were united in marriage by
Rev. Herbert +. Milligan, pastor of
the Clinton Methodist Episcopal
Church, at the home of the bride on
Wednesday, December II, at noon The
single ring ceremony was used.
The home was deliberately decorat-
ed with evergreens, potted plants, cut
flowers and crepe and tissue paper
and ribbon drapings, under the direc-
ton of Mrs. G. l.. Austin and Miss
Lephe Henderson, both of Athens, who
also supervised the banquet which was
served after the ceremony.
The bridal procession was led by the
clergyman and groom, the bride being
escorted by her father. A large we'd
ding bell was suspended from the dec
ora lions in one corner of the parlor
and beneath this the happy couple
were pronounced husband and wife.
The wedding march from 'Lohengrin'
was played by Mrs Austin.
The bride was richly attired in a
gown of silk chiffon, drapped with rose
buds and she carried a bouquet of
brides roses. During an informal re-
ception which followed, and at given
signal, a ribbon was released and the
Taper in the bell, over the bride, sent
forth shower of rice.

berson started on their honeymoon
through the provinces. They were to
be rendered a reception at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Stephen Ellis Ames,
Fort Fairfield, Wednesday, December

The feature of the afternoon session
was the reading of the State masters
report, a, document of about 5000
words. Master Stetson devoted much
of his address to discussion of the
question of rural credits, declaring
emphatically in favor of the establish
meht of some special system of pro-
viding farmers with means of secur-
ing easy credit at low rates, but in
dorsing only in a general way the Eu-
ropean systems, suggesting that farm
conditions in Europe and America are
