Goud, of Mer¬ rick, were mairied Sunday afternoon at the home of the bride's parents by the Rev. T. S. Braithwaite, of Wan- tagh. The event was a pink and white one, decorations and costumes of the bride and attendants carrying out the color scheme. Misa Emma Hohn, of Brooklyn, and Miaa Ethel Kimball, of Hempstead, were brideamaida. The beat man was Theodore Bedell, jr., of Freeport. A reception and collation followed the wedding ceremony. Both Mr. and Mra. Goud are well acquainted in Freeport. Mra. Goud ia with the New York Telephone Co. and hia wife waa formerly a telephone operator at the local exchange. They will reside in Roosevelt.
1 am going to say it again: if you repeat a piece of gossip that someone else tells you, and which you do not know to be true you are just as bad as the person who told it to you. Before you repeat anything that is going to injure another preson's character, put yo'irself in their place and consider how would you like the same remark made about yon. The fact that it was un- ' true in your case could be no more evi¬ dent than it is in his. The tongue of an idle gossip stings in all directions and when a malicious statement is set going about a person, it may put him under a cloud of suspicion for years.
Some times it is good to be "the editor," as for instance when someone leaves a big hunch of grapes on your desk. I. Miller did us that favor Tuesday, with a large cluster of white beauties, weighing over :i-4 of a lb. We would have liked to sent them to the fair on exhibition, but we were too fond of graues to take the risk of los¬ ing them.
I was riding over a railroad crossing when a sign "Loating Prohibited" tacked to the flagman's shanty, caught my eye. Just then I saw a man jiaas the flagman and call out as he passed, "I'll be over to see you some ilay." and the flagman cheerily responded "All right." I suppose visiting your friends is not loafing anyhow.
