The addition of a curling rink has also been disucssed. Dryden Literary Society is getting ready for an interesting winter. The first meeting will be called some Mon-" day in November. Mayor Pitt has just returned from a week's visit to the Pipestone, Man., district where his earliest impressions of Canada were gained. Mr Clark, an official of an American Railway Express Co., had a look over the Dryden mining area, returning to Washington Wednesday. A short article written by a member of our staff this week earned a mag- nificent remuneration, being paid for at the rate of fourteen dollars per word. The almost unanimous support given by the ratepayers to the Water- works Bylaw might be considered as an argument in favour of the Public Meeting as a means of winning pub- lic favour. The ornamental effects of good brick are well exemplified on the resi- dence of Mr Jas. M'Fadyen, which has recently been built up. The home of F.

ANNIVERSARY SERVICES The celebration of the tenth anni- versary of Church Union in Dryden was shared by pretty nearly every- body in one way or another. The Rev. J. A. Cormie; B.A., from Winnipeg, preached at the morning and evening gervices Sunday, with especial refer- ence to the work of he Churches in Home Mission fields of Canada west. Monday evening, the Ladies' Aid set new records in the n ificent supper they served in the parlour. Following this event an enjoyable evening was spent in the auditorium upstairs, where 2 splendid programme had been arranged. The Gammon Orchestra was the hig attraction, and distinguished themselves in the un- usual role of concert music. Their fine playing was greatly enjoyed by the big audience, many of whom have few opportunities to hear orchestra music except on a gramaphone. The leader, Mr H. Gammon, render- ed a selection on the zylophone, which was a big novelty. His sister, Mrs Cooper, besides playing the piano, sang by special request. ! Other numbers were given by Miss Madge Hunter, Miss Ingall, Mr W. Oliver, while Miss Newcombe of the school staff gave a fine interpretation of a plano interlude. ; Rev. J. A.
