In the Mansfield Center church there was a pleasant wedding Thursday at noon, the first in the church for a space of 38 years. A large company of friends and neighbors gathered to ‘witness the ceremony performed by the pastor, Rev. Edward P. Ayer. The unusually large attendance was ac- counted for by reason of the universal popularity of the bride, Miss Lucy El- len, daughter of Selectman and Mrs Walter F. Storrs, of Mansfleld City; who was united in marriage with Roland Birdsall of Mansfield Depot. The couple were attended by Clifford M.-Cole of Bridgeport as best man and Misg Abble Storrs, a sister of the ‘bride, as bridesmaid. The ushefs were Richard and Benjamin Storrs, cousin’ of the bride.

Some of the older people of the com- munity recall the fact that the last wedding in the church was that of Gilbert Chapin, now of Hartford, and Delia Campbell, the ceremony perform- ed 38 years ago by Rev. K. B. Glidden, pastor-of the church for a period of 20 years, and that the previous wedding performed in the old edifice was 43 years ago, in 1869, when Rev. C. L. Ayer, father of the present pastor of the church, married the late N. L. Bishop and Julia Armstrong, who for- merly resided in Norwich, but now lives in Willimantic.

How the selectmen of & town warn the former and only a town clerk the latter in the towns wherein tors, but in several states women have the same rights. Early Methods Crude. In illustrating how crude the early methods of voting were, Mr. Fenton exhibited quite a number of the old- time form of ballots, including a Co- lonial ballot—a printed one. , Before the so-called Australian ballot was prescribed there was ne uniformity to the sizé of the ballot. He next explained the sample bal- lots, that are sent to every town clerk in the state, lucidly explaining how one should vote, a party ballot or a split ticket. The old and present bal- lots were contrasted—the open and secret methods and showed why the former had given away to the latter, as a man now could vote as he pre- ferred without everyone knowing how he voted. A democratic borough bal- lot used in 1879 was exhibited. The Secret Ballot. He continued by saying: “After years of utrusgllng we in Connecticut have obtained the secret ballot, the Australian ballot, or an apology for it. Other forms of ballots were exhibited that were used in the 70’s and 80’s. The Australian ballot originated in Australia in 1851 and has since been used in that country, and for many years in many _other countries throughout the world. It was adopted in England in 1860, and nearly all other countries now use it in some form. The ballot was first used in the United States by the state of Michigan about 16 or 20 years ago.

Fenton; piano solo, Miss Knight. Mr. Fenton, in speaking of the bal- lot, said: The ballot is over one thou- sand years old, but not the present ballot as we have it, but as the an- cients used it in a crude form. As long as 2,000 years ago Greece voted by the ball ballot, and that custom came down through the years in some manner. He spoke of the fraternal ballots. Black balls reject and white Dalls elect, be careful how you vote, an old admonition commonly used bv all. presiding officers, After the Revolutionary war and when a republican form of govern- ment had been formed in the United States the problem of how officials should be elected at once confronted the public. The ballots were very crude, and there were many different methods in vogue in the United States. ~There were almost as many methods as states, counties and towns before the present. system was perfected and invented. . Under our federal consti- tution as it exists today a state has no right to prevent an elector from writing his ballot before casting it for his preferences. States individually may direct what the ballot may be. Our state prescribed the present form of ballot five years ago. The speaker next itouched upon the elector’s oath, | explaining it very carefully and re- | peating the exact wording of it. He particularly distinguished between the elector and the voter. Addressing the young ladies in the audience, he said: “By the time all you young ladies at- tain your majority, 21, each one of Yyou will have the full right of an elec- tor just as male voters have at pres- ent.” He told of the difference be —— GRANDMOTHER’S SECRET. To Darken the Hair and Restore Nat- ural Color, It is easier to preserve the color of | the hair than to restore it, although it is possible to do both. Our grand- mothers understood the secret. They made a “sage tea,” and their dark, glossy hair long after middle life was due to this fact. Our mothers have gray hairs before they are fifty, but they are beginning to appreciate the wisdom of our grandmothers in using “sage tea” for their hair and are fast following suit. The present generation has the ad- vantage of the past in that it can get a ready-to-use preparation called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem- edy. As a scalp tonic and color re- storer this preparation is vastly supe- rior to the ordinary “sage tea” made by our grandmothers, ‘The growth and beauty of the halr depends on a healthy condition of the | scalp. Wryeth's Sage and Sulphur | Hair Remedy quickly kills the dand- ruff germs which rob the hair of its | life, color and lustre, makes the scalp | clean and healthy, gives the hair strength color and beauty, and makes it grow.
