The wedding bells have been ringing out
their'merry peals quite numerously or late,
and a hard winter is predicted. Quite a num-
ber of weddings have already taken place
within the last two months, and if rumor can

first we have to report this week is the
grand wedding which took place at the resi-
dcnce-of Mr. John Evan’s on South Street
Tuesday morning, the contracting parties
being Mr. Russell D. Lacy and Miss Ella
Savage. The ceremony was performed by
Rev. Dr. Seudder, after which the entire par-
ty present were invited to sit down to two
long tables loaded with good things to eat.
The happy couple were the rectpients of a
number or handsome and useful presents, and
a shower of congratulations. They left for
Philadelphia on the 12.8 p.m. bftt'lil taking
wrth~them the best wishes of many friends,
and an old rubber shoe which was thrown
after them. '

J. Hallock and Miss Fannie L. Hawley

the time arrived the ceremony was'performed
by Rev. Mr. Hoyt of Newtown. A grand
supper was given, and the couple received
many presents both valuable and useful. They
left Thursday morning on the 10-30 train for
Bantam where they Will make thier home.

To IlleRmUentsqf'Jflzz'rfleld County:
I desire to announce that I have
this day completed my Fall Inven-
tory, that my business for the past
.9
six months has been larger than
I ever before, that my winter stock
is proportioned to a corresponding
business. for the next six months
and that I. personally am ready to
meet my customers in a liberal and
generous spirit. I believe that I
have as large, as well seasoned and
as well assorted a stock of LUMBER
on hand. at. this time as was ever
placed in this market. ,.
I have over Eight Hundred Feet
in length of floor room under cover
in which to store Dry Lumber, and
make it a special claimthat I can
and do offer stock from two to three
years old at the same price at which
others are offering this year’s out.
I am the only dealer in - this vicini-
ty who buys his stock at points of
- manufacture and while I do not
claim to undersell anybody, I do
claim that I am so situated in con-
sequence of my manner of, buying
that I cannot be undersold by any-
body, and can and do give my cus-
tomers better goods and a better
assortment to select from than any
other dealer in this market.
