weddings, and one in which many
Lyndon and Burke people are in
tcreSted, occurred Thursday after
noon, at three o'clock, at the home
of the brides parents, in East
Burke the contracting parties be-
ing Franklin, son of Mr., and Mrs.
F. c. Lynch Of that town, md
Allis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
F.. l.. Harvey of East Burke. This

the immediate families, relatives,
and most intimate friends, the
most intimate friends, the number
of invitations being about 40
The house was pleasingly decor
ated with Autumn's bright leaves,
mingled with roses, and made a
charming background for the bri-
dial pair. The ceremony was per-
formed by the Rev Mr. Suitor,
pastor of the Federated Churches,
and was solemn and impressive.
The wedding march was played by
Miss Myrtle Sullivan. The at

was present when President Miss
Eta Franklin promptly called the
convention to order at 130.
Threatening skies overcast in
the morning broke out with sun
shine during the afternoon and
with st. Johnsbury in her full eff
fulgence of autumnal beauty, the
teachers convention opened in d
blaze of glory.
Governor James H. Hartness of
Montpelier was not on the plat
form occupied by the speakers
when the convention opened, but
was expected any m'--~1te. Hon.
Luther B. johnson Of Randolph,
chairman of the state board of
education, was unable to be pre-
sent at the convention because of
illness, 1t was expected that the
Rev. Arthur Hewitt of Plainfeld
would give an eX-temporaneous
speech in his stead.
Following prayer led by Rev.
George W. Hylton, pastor of the
Grace Methodist church, Arthur F.
Stone officially welcomed the dele
gates to st. Johnsbury. Miss Eta
Franklin of Rutland, president of
the Vermont Teachers Associa-
ton, was chairman as the confer

Mr. Stone began by referring 90
the assembled members of the

TWO FOOTBALL
GAMES FOR
THIS WEEKEND
Academy Plays Vocational
and Lyndon Tackles
Newport

The fans of Northeastern Yer
mont will be treated to their share
of football this week, when four of
the local school teams will throw
down the gountlet, and be hitting
their stride in nearly midseason
form.
Friday afternoon St. JohnSbury
Academy and the Fairbanks No-
cational school meet for their sec
ond battle of the season on the
campus. In the former contest the
academy was the winner by score
of to 0. Since then coaches Mel
son and HoWeS of the vocational
warriors have been putting them
through a stiff course of training
and although both coaches are con-
SeIvative in their statements, the
general opinion seems to prevail
among them and the members of
the team that ulless Dame Fortune
i, extremely tickle, the result will
be more evenly balanced.
At Newport Saturday coach
kipp'S battlers also have a return
game. Their opponents this time
will be the strong Lyndon Institute
team, Newport has lost both games
50 far this season, and Lyndon has
won both that she has entered.
But Newport is going stronger
every day and the Institute is
weakened by d number of injuries
to her heavy but rather slow line
so that the contest should be a
more even nature.

FOR SHERIFF

Republicans throughout Caledonia
County endorse the candidacy Of
Byron NJ. Bundy for County Sheriff
and repudiate Frederick A. Flint. Re-
velations, all of record show certain
facts concerning Frederick A. Flint.
No mud will be thrown but the records
will be permitted to speak. On Decem-
Der 18th last, Mrs Lester n. Flint, wife
of Frederick A Flint, and mother of
his two children, frail, honest and in
telligent little body, signed her petition
for divorce from Frederick A. Flint
and under oath declared therein that
he had repeatedly beaten her cruelty
and had threatened to take her life by
shooting and prayed for protection by
the Court. For ten months last past
Frederick A. Flint has lived apart
from his wife and during all of that
time has been, and now is, under
restraint by injunction from the Gale
donia County Court from inficting in
jury upon his wife. All this appears of
record in Caledonia County Court.
More records concerning this same
candidate are available and will be
published. aEs
Vote for Byron NJ. Bundy for High
Sheriff, man that lives with his fam
lily and is capable, experienced and
honest.

Sidelights
On Teachers
Convention

The Baptist church on Railroad
street was a scene of eXpectant ac-
tivity this morning when Gale
donian representative made his
way, as unobtrusively as his avoir-
dupois would permit, into that
precinct sacred for the time being
to the slightest wish of the
"school-marms" The first sight
| that greeted him was a row of
desks, behind which were seated a
very business like appearing bat
terry of clerks, while wandering
around with his ready smile, and
with the official title of Director
of Information was no other than
the versatile "Bloom" Palmer, ap-
parently very much at home
among the fair advocates of learn
ing.
In the kitchen, adjoining the
registration rooms, the ladies of
the church were serving a very ap-
pctizing lunch to all who wished.
Everything had the appearance of
efficiency when the rush should
begin as id after the arrival of
the St. J. and l.. c. train from
the west. No less than two hun
dred teachers arrived between
! 1920 and 11.30 o'clock, but even
this unprecedented rush did not
seem to disturb the smooth func-
tioning of the organization.
Among the early arrivals were
Supt. y. W. McClelland and about
Is of his teachers who motorcd
from Bennington.
The staff at the registration
Bureau is comprised of the fol-
lowing: Arthur f. Stone, chair
man; Rev. A. S. Woodwork, Miss
