Lake â€" Shrubb A quiet wedding took place in Fev- ersham at the Gospel Workers' par- sonage on Saturday, May 6th, when Marjorie Shrubb of Singhampton was united in marriage to Mr. Leslie Lake of Honeywood, Rev. F. Dean officiating. The bride was attended by Miss Kathleen Hawkins of Honeywood. Mr. Ivan Brown of Orangeville acted as groomsman. On their return from a short motor trip, a reception was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Morrison at Singhampton. The junior band is making very good progress under the leadership of Mr. C. Trickey, who has taken over the band from Mr. H. Rowbottom, the organizer. Last Wednesday evening six members of the Tara band were brought over and assisted the local players in their practice. At present the band membership has reached eleven and several others intend to join at once. There are still openings for several players, boys or girls, and the parents are urged to get into touch with Mr. Trickey, so that he can prepare them for the opening con- cert to be given in about five weeks. The parents of the players and others are urged to attend band practices Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 4.15 and see for themselves how the band is conducted and the musical talent brought out in the junior play- ers in so short a time. The formation of this band is a wonderful opportun- ity for the young people to become proficient in a musical instrument at a small cost and, in fact, the training received now may become invaluable to them in later years.

MAY 19 in the Millinery Parlor Mrs. A. E. BeUamy, Flesherton Mrs. Leonard Latimer Died at Eugenia Home (by our Eugenia Correspondent) Our commuinty was saddened when the news flashed around that Mrs. J. Leonard Latimer has passed on to Life Eternal. Her passing was sin- cerely regretted. Her health had been impaired for the past five years, but she did not take seriously ill until about a month ago, her condition gradually becoming worse until the end came on Friday morning, May 12. She was tenderly cared for by her husband and daughter who, with other assistance and the doctor's aid, did all they could to restore her to health again. She bore her suffering with real grace, with such Christian fortitude that assures U3 that she fol- lowed the teachings of our Master, who said "Deny thyself, take up thy cross and follow me." The deceased was a woman of a gentle and loving disposition and had won many friends. She was highly regarded by all who knew her. The late Mrs. Latimer, whose maid- en name was Miss Mary Johnston, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Johnston, was born in St. Vin- cent township, near Meaford. ^ She leached her 72nd birthday on Easter Sunday, April 9th. On May 26th, IS92, she was united in marriage to -Mr. Leonard Latimer and resided for twenty years on the farm now owned by Mr. John Campbell, north of the village. From the farm they moved to the village, where they happily resided for the past 27 years. Early in life the deceased became a member of the Disciple's church, Meaford, then after marriage attended the Methodist church until union, when she became a member of the United Church. She was an ardent church worker, especially in the Sunday School, whre she taught the Bible class. The funeral was Held on Sunday, May 14th, (Mothers' Day). After a short service at her late I'esidence the remains were taken to the church, which was filled to capacity with sympathizing and sorrowing friends and neighbors. Rev. Stanley Elliott officiated and took his message from Che Act 9: 36-39â€" "the life of Dorcas." He spoke of the fine Christ- ian character of the deceased, who loved to work in her Master's service and loved to work for others, forgett- ing herself. She was always willing and ready to help and good cause. .\t last her life's work was ended, she wanted to go to her Home Beyond. She was i-eady to answer her Master's call. The choir rendered "There's a Land that is Fairer Than Day." Other hymns sung were "Jesus Savior Pilot Me," and "There's a Land of Pure Dehght." Comforting prayers to the bereaved were given by the minister. Those left in sore bereavement are her heart-broken husband and one • laughter. Etta (Mrs. W. E.
