Correspondents Were present from Raglan, Blackstock. Greenbank and Seagrave. Owing to a number of other social functions be- ing held on the same night, a number of other invited guests were unable to be present. The early part of the evening was spent in games, ete. when the season's contest between Seagrave and Blackstock was into an exciting game of Helma, with Blackstock emerging victorious. Following the games the esteemed hostess assisted by her daughters, Miss Marian and Annie, served a very dainty luncheon. Rev. Mr. Dyer's motion of gratitude for such an enjoyable evening was seconded by Mr. R. Scott, and carried unamiously by all present. The bazaar held on Wednesday ing in the S. 8. rooms, under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid was very well patronized, while the attendance was not large as expected the ma- jority of the articles for sale were disposed of. The New England Sup- per was much enjoyed by everyone present. There were four daintily decorated booths and a fish pond. Those in charge of the various booths were Mrs. Reynolds and Mrs. Edgar Butt; Mrs. Frank Watson and Mrs, H. Wannamaker; J. Shunk and L.

The wedding music was played by Dr. Marshall and during the signing of the register Miss Dorothy Pudisin sang "All Joy Be Thine".- The bride was given in marriage by her father and more a period gown of white satin and silver lace. Her silk net veil was trimmed with chantilly lace and caught in cap shape with orange blossoms and seed pearls. She wore a rope of pearls and carried a bouquet of Ophelia roses and lilyof the valley. Mrs, George Appl as t of honour, wore a gown fashioned with a bodice of shell pink georgette with the skirt of net frills and pastel shades. Her hat was a silver metallic and pink tulle and she wore an ame- thyst pendant the gift of the groom. She carried a bouquet of Ophelia roses.

The banquet was opened by singing of the Maple Leaf. The door of the Domestic Science room ws then thrown open; and the head- waiters (Beverley Smallman and Elwood Crosier) captains of the losing teams, emerged and humbly presented a steaming plate of that rare delicacy, known as beans, to Lord Wallace and Squire Masters. These proved gentle- men, despite their haughty titles, seemed to enjoy the dish thoroughly. The rest were then served, the ban- | quet consisting of beans, bread and butter and tea. Miss Sandy assisted in preparing the banquet, thus avert- 'ing the premature death of the poor winners. We hope that the winners will not object if we mention the fact that, in due course of the evening 10 qu of beans were consumed. After the banquet, the winners were enter- | tained by speeches from the winning captains, and a recitation by Eric ' Nasmith, followed-by an address by : Mr. JohnH; in which he empha- Hall of Little Britain. daughters Olive and Mildred, Mrs. R.

A meeting is being held this week to decide upon the advisability of opening up a community rink at the old site this winter. This means that there will be no fees and everything will be free if each and all who are interested will lend a hand at times flood it and help to sweep the ice off. Mr. Clarence Hayer of Columbus, was through here on Monday buying up stock from the farmers which he trucks to the Toronto Market, which is a great time saver for the farmer, by not having to get a wagon rigged up and hauling them over bad roads to a shipping point. Mr. Will Ross was under the care of the doctor last week suffering from an attack of flu. Daily there are great truck loads of Christmas trees hauled over the high- way en route to Toronto. It looks as though this custom of having a tree at Christmas is being over done and does not in anyway correspond with the present day slogan of Reforestaa- tion, yet every year this slaughter is going on in the forests and very often the owner is not aware of itv until they are hauled away by some- one who has been bold enough to apply his axe on some one else's pro- perty.

Dunsmore's car was found where it had been abandoned on the lake shore west of Dunbarton, and was brought back by Chief Nes- bitt, who has had a busy time lately. Provincial Police Officers Mitchell and Taylor, of Osh- awa, have been working with Chief Nesbitt on these robberiess and it is hoped that the other robbers will be caught, On Friday night last week Brock Bros.' store was rob- bed of about $300 of goods, the thieves selecting the best merchandise iu the store. Of the perpetrators of this rob- bery no clue has been found at time of writing. ---- OO Shortly after 6 o'clock on Saturday night the Scarboro Police Department received a telephone message from Highland Creek telling of the strange behavior of two suspicious-looking looking men who were loitering in the neighborhood. Hurrying to the scene Sergeant Thomas Draycott located the the individuals, who were lying a- round a fire which they had kindled on a side road running south from the Kingston Highway, Not satisfied with the account they gave of themselves the officer proceed- ed to search the pair, to discover that the two men were armed, it is alleged, with loaded revolvers. In addition, it is said, they carried a full kit of burg- lars' tools, including skeleton keys and Jimmies. Close by lay a large sack which was filled 'with provisions of which they were to all appearances about to partake when surprised by he officer's intrusion. Unaided, Sergeant Draycott placed the pair under arrest and rushed them to the police station at Birch Cliff, where they gave the names of Charles Ryan of Port Perry, aged 26, and Lawrence Brydon, of Vermillion, Alta. aged 21. They were closely questioned and both signed a statement admit- ting, it is a eed, several burglaries, Ryan stating that his companion was wanted by the police in various parts of Western Canada.
