The fatuily had a mess of berries for supper on Saturday, and we Muder.'itand they are ([uite plentiful on his farm. This is soinothin;; most re- in»rkable. The late John Morrison, whosii funeral notice appears elsjwhtre, was a native i.f Oo.

OiK'diâ€" ^eiiderson [The following interesting item airived too late, for insertion in last week's issue. -Ec] An interesting ceremony took pl»co in Cooke'i* churoh, Toronto, on Wodnosday evening, being the niairiagu of MisH pi. Liiic'e Dodds and Mr. Ham^el. Header- apn, the Jior. Mr. Patterson officiatiug. Th^brid* looked charming in white silk trimmed with diifibuand orange blossoms. The throe bridetiraaids were MissoH Annie, Violet and Chaidotto Do<Ids, sisters of the brido. Tlie first briilewnaid looked very attractive in pale blue ailk trimmed with pearl silk lace; the others in cream crcpon trimmed with white laco. They each carried a bouquet of pink and white i<iHe8. The best man wa.s Dr. R. II. Henderaon of Joronto Junction, brother of the groom. Only the relatives and intimate friends of the bride and groom were in attendance, and at the conehmion of the ceremony a reception was held at the reHidencu of Alderman Allen, 105 lliver St., uncle of the bride, where they piirtoiik of a most inviting rep.iBi. After supper the U)ast to "the health of the brido" was proposed by .\ldernmn Allen, to which the groom briefly but apiiro- priately reKponded. "The bridesinaidH," proposed by Dr. T. Hendersim and re- .sponded to by Dr. R. H. Henderson. "Thrt host and hostes.s," proposed by Mr. â- J. E. Haii.sford, to which Aid. Ailen huinoun^iifily re-ponded. "The Queen, " responded to by Mr. Cm ry. The pres- unta were niimorous and costly, and evi- denced the high esteem in which the bride was held. After thu happy couple !i:ul departed the festivities were con- tinued and Mr.s. Allen, who is a moHt cli.'iriiiing hostess, contributed largely to th« pleasure of that tout ensemble. PER50NALS Matter J. T. B^ccrufc is attending high fchool at Weston. Miss Efliu Kent, Toronto, is the guest of her cousin, Mr. F. Bunt. Mrs. Chas. Croft of Osproy is visiting lier daughter, M-m. J.

Fawcoit of Toronto are the guests of Mrs. Jacob Holiey, East B»ck Line. Miss Sarah Strain and Miss Lou .Vrinstrong left on Friday for Alma Ci>lleue St. Thomas, the former for her second term and the latter her first in .Arts. The f^air To-day and to-morrow (Thursday and Friday) will see this town captured by big pumpkins, loads of prize fruit, crowds of jolly gentlemen and captivating ladies. This proiiiises to bo the most successful fair over held in Flesherton, should the wrathor be at all favorable. We base our conclusion upon the fact that at time of writing over 500 more untries have been made than at the same hour last year, and ntill they come rolling in very freely. The program for the first day will be three baseball matches, Vandeleur V!i. Dundnlk and Flesherton vs. Wodc- hoUHo, then the two winning teams play for a silver cup. Most of these clubs are playing picked nu.n and the matches will no d<jubt bo exciting. On the second day, in addition to the usual speeding, there will be a farmers' running race with gooil prizes of ?10, 87 and 1^3, and a single hitch trotting raco, something new, and something that will develop lots of fun. The band will be on the ground. The star for the conceit on Frid.ay even- ing will be Mi.ss .â- Vnnio Loui.se White, whom The Advance has before jironoun- cod the beat elocutionist on the road. She appeared before a Flesherton audi- once for the first time last October ami made a name for he'.'ielf that will bi- long remembered. Her "Bob-o-link and the lovers," "The Light from over the lliinge" and "Jim Collin's last ride" (more par- ticularly the latter) worked hor audience up to a degree of enthusiasm that we have never seen excelled. She is sure of .1 bumper house on this occasion. For extended particulars of all the attractions sec large bills, which have been widely circulated. Come and make our acquaint- ance and enjoy the sport. Refreshments will be supplied on the ground.! by the ladies of the Moihcdist church.

Exiiibition Notes MAUKDALK BEATS THB WOULU There was a noticablo improvement in the exhibit of machinery at the Toronto fair over last year, particularly that of a binder which even claimed to run very much li',;hter on account of having roller bearings. It will soon b« that nn intel- ligent ^farmer will buy any machinery withwut ndler Wrings, In the States nearly all farm machinery has roll bear- ings. The 1 ieycle would never have amounted to anything if it li.ad not been for thu ball bearinj^s, But Markdale brats the world. It is supposed ti.at there is not another puiupmaker in the world making piim|;s with roller buariiigs. Of course it makes nunc noik, but it pays, for each pump sold is an sdvertLsenient for several more. Be sure you see Artlsy'i pumps with roller bearings »t thu fall shows.
