The house was effectively decorated
with autumn foliage, and cut flowers.
A unique feature of the decorations was
a large United States flag draped upon
the wall to form a background for the
wedding party. This flag was made by
the women of Vernon in 1861, and was
suspended over the road in front of the
old Burrows tavern during the period of
the Civil war, since which time, it has
been carefully preserved by the Bur
rows family. Only one of the women
whose hands shaped this flag is still liv-
ing, Mrs. Mary Fairman Davis.

tleboro high school and Westfeld normal
school and has been successful teacher

agent of the department of justice,
believes that special grand jury will
be called within week or two for
the purpose of hearing these cases.
The next regular session of the
grand jury is not scheduled until Oc-
tober. 1t is believed that the already
oppressive situation will become in
tolerable before that time has ar
rived.

over from the Depew and Milfay dis
