Adams, | Oxdrift, <was the scene Wednesday afternoon of a pretty event, when John Edward Harris of Dryden was united in marriage to ther [second daughter; Cora. In the presence of a small group of near relatives of the two families, the 'bride was given away by her father, the ceremony taking place lawn. The bride, who wore a simple suit of navy blue, was attended by her sister, Gladys; Charlie Harris, brother of the bridegroom, acting as best man. Mr and Mrs Adams, the bride's | parents, held a reception in the even- ing in Oxdrift Schoolhouse, when a host of friends gathered to congratu- late the newly wedded pair. Dryden and Oxdrift, where they are equally well known, combined in expressions of goodwill and esteem, a great array fof beautiful and valuable presents J signifying the regard in which the two families as well as the bride and bridegroom are held in the com- nai. - Daneing, in which Mr and Mrs Horta joined, was heartily indulged in by the joyous gathering, music I being provided by Mr and Mrs Adair of Dryden." From young men and maidens, many of whom had been school mates of the bride and groom, back to the old settlers who have witnessed the growth of the district since the early days when the bride's parents came with the first of our pioneers from the east to this new country, all waltzed and one-stepped and balanced all, and never a kindlier company within living memory united their good wishes for the happiness of a youthful pair. While supper was being served, W. J. Robinson, M.C., took the opportun- ity to convey the congratulations of the guests on the felicitous occasion, the happy "augury of the blending of two neigh- bour communities in 1 celebr ation of the event. At the conclusion of an evening {forever consecrated by fondest memo- ries, Mr and Mrs Harris motored to the station to entrain for the east, where the ome will be spent. - 3 Millinery MISS WALDRON will open her Fall Millinery on Monday, August a ns her home 24 En Street. LOCAL AUTHOR Everybody in Dr yden knows Rev. Robert Nairn, B. A., of Keewatin and Kenora fame. Though some may not "§ have personal acquaintance, the name is a familiar one. As an eloquent divine and a popular platform speaker few are better liked in this town. Now, it may not be quite so common knowledge that the reverend gentle- man is the author of an interesting book of poems and addresses. His book, issued by the Briggs' House of Toronte, is of fine 'appearance and will make a pleasing addition to the home library shelf. The book, dedicated to "His Wife," speaks for. itself, and those who pur- chase it will'be doing good work of co- operation with the aim of that dedication. It is in the lucky trend of Dryden's public life that a man of letters is so intimately associated with it. Fame of men of letters radiates a certain renown- around = the scene of their labours, and, in this instance, Dryden is right there. The book sells at a modest price, and Miss Allan will be glad to supply copies at sixty-five cents each.

GOLDEN, Sec.-treas. Oxdritt Wedding on thei Reception to New Pastor ON Thursday evening the Women's Auxiliary, assisted by the other or- ganizations of St Luke's, held a Re- ception to allow the members of the congregation to meet the Rev. S. N. Dixon and Mrs Dixon. The affair took place in the Dryden Paper Company's to welcome the new pastor. > After a few games in the early part of the evening while the guests were |! assembling, a short but Snappy pro- gramme was introduced by the chair- man, Mr H. Humphries. The first item, sung by Mr Offer, "When father laid the carpet on the stairs," pro- duced a ripple of merriment, which expanded into a volume of joyous laughter as the programme developed. Messrs Humphries, Berrey and Offer produced a scream by their rendering of how they "left the baby on the shore." A fine efoct was introduced by Mr A IE Berrey in the old song, "Just a song at twilight," supported by the choir concealed in the wings. Mr S. Baptlett (mandolin) and Miss Eva (piano) scored a big success in their duet, which drew merited applause. Mz Risegari, in two violin numbers, brilliantly accompanied by Mrs J. E. Gibson, displayed the masterly tech- nique in which he excels. More op- portunities to hear such playing would be appreciated in Dryden. The Rev. S. N. Dixon expressed the pleasure it gave Mrs Dixon and him-| self to meet members of the Church in such a happy manner. On his first distinguished himself as an entertain- for much merry laughter. The programme was fittingly con- cluded by the singing of "A perfect Day" by Messrs A. E. Berrey and F. Offer. After lunch was served by the ladies, a friendly dance was indulged in, At first the feeble efforts of a Pe to make itself heard moved R. J. Pronger to introduce an aceerdeon to help out; but the experi- ment of such an innovation was ren- dered unnecessary by the voluntary action of Mr Bartlett and Mr Risegari who, to the delight of all, played several dances, assisted at times by] Dryden need never be at a loss for the most excellent music on occasions. hall, and a large company gathered appearance at a secular gathering he ing raconteur, and provided occasion Mrs Gibson and others, proving that social § Lumber, Millwork, Sash, Doors 'CTMErs NOTHING would suit us better than the opportunity to come and show yeu capablities of Ford Cars and Trucks.

HAL Ding Mouldings Wall Fatal Accident Dryden was deeply stirred in the early part of the week on learning that one of its best known and popular residents had met with an unfortunate death in the course of his duties as C.P.R. road foreman. While riding westward on a track motor about 10 olclock Sunday night, just west of Hawk Lake, Gustave Wilhelm Ander- son met his death as the result of an accidental fall from the speeder. As he was alone, the exact facts can only be guessed at from the circum- stances under which he was found. His hat was found about one hundred feet east of where he fell, while the car was stopped a considerable dis- tance west. It was surmised that his hat had blown off, and that in at- tempting to stop the car the sudden application of the brake may have caused him to lose his balance and the vesulting fall on his head caused his death, There is a slight grade at the point where the accident occurred, and the car proceeded for some distance be fore it stopped. The empty car was reported by an engineer, and on search being made the body was found lying near the track. The sympathy of the many friends he has made during the years he has lived in Dryden is extended to his wife and five children,--four young daughters and an infant son little more than a week old. He also leaves three sisters, Mrs V.E. Peach, Ke- nora; Mrs Oxley, Lethbridge; Mrs Bongfeldt, Sprague, Man., and two brothers, Johan, Fox Valley, Sask.; and John Berg, Vermillion Bay. Deceased was 38 vears of age, and has been for years in the employ of the C.P.R. here. He was a member of Golden Star Lodge, A.F&A.M., and other organizations. The funeral from Union Church, Dryden, held Thursday afternoon, was attended by the members of the Lodge in a body, as well as by a large num- ber of sorrowing friends. Service was conducted by the pastor, Rev. Mr Beaton, the Masonic ceremonies be- Board, Roofing Paper Cement, Lime, Plaster, &e. ORDER, COAL NOW, before winter gets here, and secure the best rice.
