Jury & Lovell The Ttexall Store An exceedingly pretty wedding was celebrated celebrated on Wednesday afternoon Nov. 1st, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Bragg, Prospect-st., when their second daughter, Winifred May, was united in marriage with Mr. Ernest W. W. Rundle of Oshawa. About fifty relatives and a few friends witnessed the ceremony which was performed by Capt. the Rev. W. G. Clarke, B. A., Chaplain of the 235th-Battalion, 235th-Battalion, and pastor of the Methodist church, assisted by Rev. W. C. Parsons of Victoria Victoria University, Toronto, cousin of the groom. Lohenghrin's wedding march was played by Miss Agnes Hill, Toronto, and the bride was given in marriage by her father. The bridal couple were unattended unattended and during the ceremony stood beneath an arch' of evergreens and carnations carnations and large white bell. The bride looked lovely in a handsome gown of white ninon over Brussels net with silver lace trimmings and carried a shower bouquet bouquet of white chrysanthemums. Her bridal veil was arranged in Juliet-cap style and was caught with sprays of lily-of-the- valley. The groom's gift to his bride was a lovely sunburst of pearls and to the pian- • ist he gave a pretty pearl ring. After con- 1 gratulations the bridal party sat down to ; a sumptuous wedding dinner, the bride's I table being prettily decorated with white satin streamers, pink rose-buds and white ! mums. The bride received many beauti- 1 ful gifts of silver, cut glass, linen, checks and chjna, including a set of Limoges china from The Statesman staff of which the bride has been a valued member member for several years. A number of guests escorted them to the station and gave them a good shower of confetti when they left by C. P. R. for a. honeymoon trip west. The bride wore an African Brown suit with gate-top purse and hat to match. Mr. and Mrs. Rundle will reside at 68 Charles-st, Oshawa, where they will be at home after November 22.

For two or three weçks past Mr. Gurns-. ey McClellan has been good enough to take charge of the Cadet Corps on Wednesday Wednesday afternoons, when he introduced a number of new phases of Company drill. It is with regret that we record the fact that Eric Whitmee Cousins, an ex-pupil of this school, was recently killed in action whilst on duty with the 50th Battalion. Of those on our "Honour Roll" we note that Eric.Cousins, Percival Crago, Arthur McLaughlin, Herbert Freeland, Lloyd Sanders and Clare Williams have fallen in action. Gunner Gohkland's First Acquaint,- - ; anqe With Father.Nertune. Mid-Atlantic Ocean, Oct. 8, 1916. Drar Editor--We left Cobourg September 30th and I must say that we regretted going very much, not that we did not want to go,, but when we think s of the fine supper given, uj^ by the good ladies of the Khaki Club and : the nyisic rendered by the band which ■pas headed by a number of boys carrying lighted torches and singing patriotic songs and the girls,, of whom there were, we should guess, two thou-, sand, more or less, and. who were bidding bidding us their last farewell with tears dripping down there cheeks, is it any wonder that we disliked to leave Cor bourg behind? But where duty calls,, we must be also. At the station we had some time to ourselves, but soon, too soon, we heard the whistle of the approaching train that was to bring,ua to Halifax, from, which place we were to. take the boat overseas. Our first night on the train,, needless to say, was a sleepless one but none of us were in any mood for sleeping and when reveille reveille sounded at 5.80 a. m., we did not neèd the second calling to awaken us. We dressed ourselves and cleaned up as best we could, then we went in to breakfast which was not until llA.m. The bill of fare was composed chiefly of bacon and beans, and I think, for- dinner we had beans and bacon and pea-soup. Regardless of the meals, however, we had a fine time and enjoyed enjoyed ourselves as only boys can. The scenery was magnificent, even beyond all comparison with any I had ever seen before. So with this lovely scenery scenery en route and the many attractions which met us at each station at which we stopped, we managed to put in pleasantly the remaining two days on the train, so that it was with some little regret that on Tuesday afternoon we took our bundles and made our way toward the Missanabie, which was lying lying in the harbour ready to take us on board for our trip over the Briny. On going on board we were very much surprised to find ourselves quartered in the first class cabin, instead of in bunkers down below, about which we had already had our fears and misgivings. misgivings. Once allotted our staterooms, we lost no time in putting our belongings belongings away, plunging into a hot bath, getting supper and then rolling into our bunks for a quiet night's rest. On awakening next morning we found that during the night we had pulled out some little distance and anchored. About noon, however, we heard . the great engines commence their work and knew by that that we were about to proceed on our first voyage "across the dark blue sea". The first few days we enjoyed ourselves immensely by wandering around and peering into every nook and corner of the steamer. The ocean had hardly a ripple, the sun was shining brightly, the 183rd Battalion Battalion band played several times each day. I must give it due credit--the 188rd band can play. So with all this and the amusement made by the boys themselves, themselves, we were certainly a merry and happy-go-lucky bunch on board. During During the remainder of the trip there was little or no change in the daily routine, except that we had physical drill from 10.30 to 11.30 a. m., and from 3.30 to 4.30 in the afternoon. We were also duty unit for 48 hours, this included included guard duty and fatigue work which we performed without a murmur, for the first duty of a soldier is to obey, and by that means only can a person, himself become an efficient soldier. Most of us, however, rather enjoyed doing guard duty for you must remember remember that we were on duty for two hours and off for four and while off duty, we had ample time to sleep or do what ever our hearts desired. Whe "> about mid-ocean an order came out g that we must not leave our bei or go on deck unless we had our life-oelts on and to show how strict was the order, order, one of the men of another unit in his haste to get on deck--for that is where we spent most of our time--forgot time--forgot his belt and was brought up before the O. C., for disobeying the order. Life-boats were all lowered and held in readiness in case of an accident or more likely to be prepared for the submarines submarines that are always lurking around unseen and ready to send us to the bottom bottom of the sea at any moment. To avoid meeting one of these sea-dogs or in case we did meet one, we had a large man-of-war, which went ahead as if to clear the way and the three boats which she was guarding, namely--the Saxonian, the Californian and Messan-, abie followed in the rear. Our course at first lay straight ahead, the vessels following in the order already named, but as we neared the danger-zone, we went through all kinds of manoeuvre-* ing and followed more of a zig-zag course. , During the whole of this trip it must be remembered that we were not gliding along on silky waves, for although we started out under those conditions, we soon found ourselves on a rough and angry sea and were rocked rocked and swayed from side to side by the waves as if they had all at once gone mad and wished to knock us to pieces. The most daring of these would come sweeping against the vessel, spreading it's briny water over the deck, thus soaking all those who happened to be thereon. The quieter ones, however, contented themselves by building up mountains of water, then racing to the bottom as if to see which could get there first. The waves, though watching watching them took up a great, deal of our spare time, we still had time to sit for an hour or two hours if need be, to the concert given down in the dining saloon and which, to our great delight, made us forget all our worldly cares and laugh until our sides were sore. The talent, I must admit, was all tak- en from the boys in khaki but we had characters from the most modest of Pte.ERIC WHITMEE COUSINS A Bowmanville Boy Who Died Of Wounds at the Front, Another Bowmanville boy has paid the price and laid down his life for King and Country. The following message was received received by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Cousins, 128 Clinton-st, Toronto, formerly of this town: "Deeply regret to inform you 219919 Pte. Eric W. Cousins, died of wounds at 49 Casualty Station from gun shot wound in the head." Eric was well- known and well-liked byhis school-mates and other associates in the town. He. was employed in F. R. Kerslake's drug store before enlisting with the 80th (Belleville) (Belleville) Battalion. He had only been in the of age. He and his elder brother Pte Reynolds Cousins were born in China where their parents were missionaries representing the London Missionary Society Society but had been in Canada ten years. Pte Reynolds Cousins went overseas with the 21st and had been in the trenches eleven eleven months when he was wounded last June but tor four months has been in the hospital. • . THE EDITOR TALKS Canadians tyho love the poems of Service will be interested to know of the discovery of a Scottish Kipling. R- W. Campbell who has already won his laurels by his books "Private Spud Tamson" and "The Kangaroo Marines" has now given the world of letters a set of poems entitled "The Making of Micky McGhee" and other stories in verse. These verses breathe of romance, romance, the humor and the glory of the great adventure. The Milton Reformer ended its 31st volume last week arid Editor Richard White sounds a cheerful note of thanks for the generous support accorded his bright newsy paper. Editor White deserves success and we are glad to learn that he is so well satisfied over his business success. We hope the future future years will prove more fruitful of beneficial results than the past. It is not possible ito estimate the value of an enterprising local newspaper in a community. The Reformer has^ ever stood for all moral and Christian issues. A very vivid word-picture of "What Slum Work Means" is presented in an article on an inner page from the pen of an enthusiastic worker who, at our request, furnished this article for the benefit, of our readers. Is it not still true as ever that our half of the world knows not how the other half lives ? Th& sights that we saw in Gotham during .our recent visit there convinces us that the sooner total prohibition of the liquor traffic "obtains thruout the United States the better for that nation.

The land seen was the , coasts of Ireland and Scotland--we having, come by the north of Ireland. It was amusing to see the little groups gathep together at the sight of their 1 fair old land and converse in low whis- f iers, which were only broken by some rishman tyho-.was so overjoyed at the sight of the Emeral Isle that he shouted shouted "Hurrah for Ireland"! and which was soon taken up by the passengers.
