Mary's hands were busy and h
heart was singing. When Novemb
first brought the curious friends n
one of them conceived in his me

The village was pleasantly sur
prised last evening when the six
o'clock train up the valley
brought back to Paris two young
people very we'll known in the
community, who during Il weeks
absence have joined their lives
and fortunes: Herbert II. Tru-
mann, son of our well-known
manufacturer Silas Truman, and
Miss Mabel Henderson, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Harvey Hen
derson Of East Main Street, who
is being introduced about town
today as Mrs. Herbert Truman.
The couple had been entirely
successful in keeping their court
ship secret and last Friday night
they slipped away quietly down
to Brattleboro and were married.
They have since been spending
weeks honeymoon in Boston and
Providence. s
Mr.. Truman is in business
with his father in the manufac-
ture of the celebrated Short
Cramp Farm Wagon and Mrs.
Truman for the past four years
has been employed as compositor
in the telegraph" office. 1T is
a queer coincidence that all un-
willingly the couple were mar
ried at about the same hour as
two other employees of the local
newspaper plant, Mr.. and Mrs.
John Purse. Cupid appears to
have acquired an extraordinary
liking for the office where the
Telegraph" is published. ss.,s

Truman have taken a,ssisfe at

Mary had not given up her job
blowing her marriage. She and
