DRYDEN, Ontario, February 18th, 1927 TE No. XLVIIL Valentine Dance WABIGOON--St. Valentine's Day was befittingly celebrated by the Women's Institute Whist Drive and Dance in the Assembly Hall at Johnstone's Hotel. The attendance at the first Social of the year was very encouraging, and speaks well for the popularity of these home-like parties. Until the hotel was placed at their disposal by F. T. Johnstone, the Instit- ute workers were handicapped by lack of accommodation, and are grateful to Mr Johnstone for his kindness. Twenty players competed, and a keenly fought round of games ensued First prizes were won by Miss B. Robinson and Arthur Ponton, the consolation or bcf)y prize was secured by H. Wright on the one side, Mrs Nystran and Mrs V. Nordrum on the other. The ladies cut for the distinc- tion and the beautiful baby doll award- ed, was won by Mrs Nystran. After the Whist, the young people took the floor and danced till midnight, and supper served by the working members of the Institute present. For the music of the evening, the party was indebted to. the West Southwest Symphony Orchestra, Messrs L |S Wright, M. Shushak, J. Neill, 0. My- klebust and H. N. Wright, with dun accompaniment by C.

Death of Wm. McMillan ALL Dryden was stunned when the news of the tragic death of Williai. McMillan was brought in on Tuesda, about six o'clock by Frank Parr, who, when returning from Town, saw Mi McMillan's team standing in the roau with the load of ties which they were hauling, dumped to one side, On going to see if help was needed they founda Mr McMillan burried face down under his load. When the ties were removea from the body life was found to be ex- tinct, and all that could be done wa. to take the remains to the farm house where the daughter, Gladys and he: husband, C. Morton, jr., were living, and break the sad news to the family. Knowing as we do the careful, deliberate and painstaking habits oi #Ir McMillan, it hardly seems possible that such a fate should overcome him. The late McMillan was one of the earliest settlers in Dryden, coming her: irom Paisley, Bruce County, Ontario, vwwenty-nine years ago, for some timc operating a saw mill on the west side of the river, then moving in to th. present location in Dryden, where hc carried on the business of lumbe. merchant and saw mill, later when Western lumber was easier obtained and portable saw mills came on th: cccne he has applied himself more tc arming. Knowing as he did, the astory of the district, one alway: found him Jnipeine in conversat.o: about the pioneer days. He dearly :oved his home and home life, and wa a very devoted husband and father. A deep student of seripture, he believe n the old iundanental truths and iv laily and deal:ngs did what he believed to be right, as one that woulc have to account to his Heavenl; Father. Many came to him for hh advice on almost any subject, because they felt that he would not mislea: them.. The late Ir McMillan leaves to mourn his lgss his wife, his son Nor- man,.and daughter, Mrs C. Morton also his brothers Herbert, of Bedwort! and Arthur, of Edmonton, Albert: to whom is extended the very deepes: sympathy of all in Dryden, We fee that their loss is also ours. e our mutual woes And of en for eich 5 other flows A sm his'pg tear."
