Commodore Luttgen evidently derived
much satisfaction from the fact that
his own estate furnished some Of the

friends of the contracting
parties from out of town, Redding be-
ing represented by Mr. and Mrs. S. C.
Shaw, MIR. and Mrs. F. l.. Dunneu, Mr..
and Mrs Francis Hamlin and Rev
and Mrs. RAYMOND Cunningham. Dur
ing the afternoon MIR. and Mrs Little
started on their honeymoon trip which
they will make by auto and which is
to extend over d period Of about two
weeks
The report that Rev. MIR. Cunning
ham had Declined to perform the mar
riage ceremony because the bride was
a divorce is not strictly in accordance
with the facts. The reverend gentle
man was disinenned Ito discuss the
matter but finally consented to state
the circumstances that wrong impress
s1ons might be corrected. He said in
substance: II did not refuse to Off
c1ate, because did not know whether
the case was one which came under
the fnhibitory canon Of the Episcopal
church relative to the re-marriage of
divorced persons. I said that owing
to the generally unfavoraible attitude
OF the church towards such MARRIAGES
would prefer not to act and sug-
gested a civil ceremony. This SUCCESS
ton was readily accepted without con.

The selectmen and special road com.
mfttee met together on Monday even
Ing to decide in what localities the
$1,000 previously voted for permanent
road Improvements should be expend-
ed. They first agreed that it would be
only fair to distribute the improve
ments so as to give all sections of the
town share in the benefits and then
voted adoption of plans as follows:
correction by widening of the sharp
bend in the back road near the Fred
briggs place in Pleasant Valley: wild
emng and grading at the hin lust
above Fine Points at a cost of about
sl25; Strengthening of Bend in road
near Everett Gorham place at the CEN
ter; Xix improvement near the home
of Captain Day in same locality. the
road to have a new layout over land
given for that purpose by Captain
Day,-cost OF change about 5000; filing
IN of a slough section of Lime Kiln
road at cost of about $500; improve
ment OF road near Charles H. Plump
place at cost of about SIS. The total
OF estimated outlay for these better
ments is 1915. leaving some margin to
meet a possibly greater cost.
