Fitchett-Montgomery At the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ed- ward Montgomery, Blackstock, a very pretty but quiet wedding took place at two o'clock Wednesday, July 3lst, when their only daughter Amy Ethel, was united in the holy bonds of mat- trimony to Mr. Ralph A. Fitehett, of Manchester, Ontario. The bride was unattended "and enrered the drawing roem leaning on the arm of her father, while Miss Greta LeBarr of Peterboro rendered Mendelssohn's Wedding March. The bride looked very dainty and pleasing in a frock of pale gray Georgette and taffeta with customary veiliand orange blossoms and carrying a large bunch of bridal roses. The ceremony was parforwed by | Rev. Mr. Gomm and witnessed by|. only the immediate friends of the bride and groom. . Friends were pre- sent from Toronto, Oshawa, Lindsay, Peterboro and Calgary. ' During the signing 'of the refister the only brother of the bride, R. J. Morrell Montgomery, L.D.S., D.D.S,, sang "Oh Promise Me," with splendid feeling. A mbit of friends of thé bride and groom motored with them to Burketon, where 'they 100k' 'the * train for a 'short vacation at' !Jackson's Point . and visiting western cities. The bride travelled in a navy blue tailored suit with hat to match. On "the "evening previous to the wedding a large number of girl friends of the bride took her entirely by sur- of their appreciation of her. bride: will be ly missed by all her friends, especially in 'musical circles, and all social and church work. 7g "The gif of the groom to the bridé] ands earl and peridot | pianist, 'a dainty ame- Florence Cook has passed her 'exam: || thyst pin.

From Sig. C. Jackson Somewhere in France, My Dear Mother-- 1 guess another letter from me is overdue. However, more changes and moves have prevented my writing as much as I would have otherwise. This is my new address--Signaller W, C.. Jackson, No. 2,265,367, 3rd Bn. Can. M. Corps, B.E.F., France. You will perhaps wonder what a machine gun battalion is--It is a unit formed and organized similar to an infantry battalion, but consists entire- ly of machine guns and their crews, grouped to form batteries and com- panies, used to support the infantry, help in the barrage, etc. That will probably give you some idea of the outfit I belong to. I am in the signal section. As 1 write this I am on duty. In front of me are several apparatus necessary to keep in touch with the various other sections. One of the articles, and a very .useful one, isa switchboard which I made myself, using material raked up from a nearby railroad. It works fine: better than some that are issued. There are three of us. from ten at night until six, and the other two work the day stretches. Our rations come up and we cook them ourselves, vsing "Tommy Cookers," (solidified alcohol) or if you can find any dry wood we make a good fire. We have two bunks, and as only two of us are off duty 'at 'once 'that works 'alright. Now I must tell you about yester- day, or rather, the day 'before. I was allowed to go down the line for a bath (8 weeks since the last 'one), and 'to get Some clean' clothes. I'knew 'the 116th were around, so I proceeded to pay:them a visit. 'Oscar Stephenson was the first chap I met. Was he surprised? Rather-- and "tickled, too.
