Mr. Charles Howard Welch and
M'ibs Clementine Cutnpton, were
married in the First Presbyterian
Church bore this evening at 6:30
o'clock, by the pastor, Rev. Ches
ter W. Todd. The bride and
groom were unattended, and the
wedding was very simple and im
pressive. In spite of the fact
that no invitations were sent out,
the church auditorium was well
filled with witnesses. Mrs. Ma
ry Kyper Gifford, aunt of the
bridegroom and church organist
played beautifully before, during
and after the ceremony. The
wedding party was brought to
and from the church in their car,
and immediately after the cere
mony left for a few days in Wash
ington and Baltimore, the wed
ding trip to be very brief, in view
of the tact that they anticipate a
trip to the Coast later in the year,
also to the bride's home
The bride is a western girl, her
home being in Portland, Oregon.
She is a woman of broad culture
and refinement, and beingagrad
uateof Moody Bible Institute,

Union Times, and is well known
throughout Central Pennsylvania

religious way.
Trolley Survey Progressing.
Last week a corps of engineers
began at the top of Cove moun
tain and surveyed lor the pro
posed trolley line between this
place and Fort Loudon. Begin
ning at a point on top of the
mountain just north of Mer
cersburg pike the surveyors came
in an almost straight line to near
the foot of the mountain to the
field lying between George Mag-
sam and Dallas Myer's places.
From there they swung round to
where the two pikes fork east of
town.
On the east side of the moun
tain they went northward, slop
ing along the side to a point near
where the old toll gate stood on
the Chambersburg pike. From
there they paralleled the pike,
keeping between it and the top
to Cape Horn. They then swung
to the right to Rocky Hollow,
and from there to the station at
'ort Loudon. As we understand
it, the trolley line will not cross
either of the two pikes on the
mountain.
A public meeting was held in
the schoolhouse at Webster Mills
Tuesday evening, at which time
the promoters of the McConnells
burg and Fort Loudon Rail Road
Company gave out such informa

Application for the charter has
been made, and as soon as it is

ine surveyed is about 6 per cent
with not more than 3 per cent,
on curves which will guarantee
safety at those points.

A Chance to Make Money.
Country people may make mon
ey next summer by reason of the
heavy auto travel that is sure to
occur.
Two good reasons may be given
for the expectation of heavy auto
travel on the Chambersburg and
Bedford pike, which is now a
link in the great Lincoln High
way. One reason for increased
travel is that tens of thous
ands of Americans who goto
Europe every summer will re
main in this country on account
of the great war now going on in
foreign countries. For many
years this travel has been so
great that parts of some Europe-
an countries depend upon it a
most solely for support Anoth
er reason for the expectation 0;
increased travel on this, and, on
other great thoroughfares, is be
cause of the Worlds Fair in Call
fornia this summer. The Lin
coin Highway links have been
connected until they reach from
coast to coast and tourists have
been assured that the road is in
good condition. .Not only wil
the tourists who annually spend
millions in Europe make use 0
the new route to California, but
thousands of others who enjoy
auto travel will take this wonder
ful trip. Travelers to foreign
countries took with them their
autos, and the money they dis
tributed at the wayside inns is
amazing. Farmers' wives, and
boys and girls, who are fortunate
to live on the Lincoln Way can
com money by erecting neat
signs at their gates telling 0
delicacies that can be had there,
Tourists will buy clean, cool milk
buttermilk, cream, fruit berries,
home-made pies, nuts, sand
wiches, fresh crisp vegetables
that are eaten raw, eggs, and
many other articles that come
from country homes if they are
assured by the neat and clean
appearance of the vendor that
the articles are pure, clean, and
wholesome.
The third local institute of Bel
fast township was held at Jacob
Lake's School January 8. The
following subjects were discuss
ed: 1. Language; How taught
in primary grade? 2. How can
we as teachers keep the boys and
girls in school? 3. How do you
teach Geography?
The following teachers were
present, May Pittman, Virgie
Gress. Thomas Truax, Floyd
Hart Ethel McEldowney, and
ex-teacher Blair Garland, a num
ber of recitations and dialogues
were rendered in a very credita
ble manner by the school. Eth

Nothing adds more to the refinements of home than

instrument. There are good bad and indifferent instru

The'unprincipled dealer is likely to make you pay a
first-class price for a fourth-class instrument. I have
