NT 4 Savy LLNS 1 wil iti SHA PAGE FIVE EPSOM aT . Epsom for the past winter has been marooned from Uxbridge so far as motor traffic is concerened. run from Epsom to Uxbridge, -more than double going direct from Epsom. No one seems to know who is re- sponsible for the present state of af- fairs byt dame rumour has it that a couple of Uxbridge mérchants, desir- ing to gain the Greenbank business brought this change about. These men might have gained in some re- spects but they have not gained in popularity with the -Epsom people, nor'is the good will increasing. One thing that Epsom has learned | that so long as the way to the high- way is kept open that it is only a short hop to the highway and once you are there Port Perry is right at your door. A goodly number are taking advantage of this fact and the loss to Uxbridge will be the gain to Port Perry. Those who have tried the experiment say that the merchants of Port Perry are equaly as genial as the Uxbridge ones and their wares are as cheap, if not cheaper than those of Uxbridge. If the Uxbridge mer- | chants are still desirous of retaining the Epsom business they should register a vigorous protest before it is too late. 'To thosg who are respons le for the present state of affairs jt would be a good thing to borrow a*book of fables from the school children, especially should they read the story that tells of a dog crossing a stream carrying a |} large piece of meat and seeing its re- flection in the water thought it was another dog with a larger portion and -- thinking ta get the bigger piece let pontiac § beauty is doubly attrac- tive because'it is so prectical Consider, for example, the Turret Top Body by Fisher.

A goodly vainber of the Epsom in- habitants must have been advance students of last Sunday's lesson "The 'Good Samaritan". They must have known in advance whabdye lesson was "about from practical experience. When one of the neighbours was compelled to leave his farm last Wednesday to take up his abode near Sunderland, immediately a dozen of his fellow- citizens came to his assistance.

The presents were. numerous, and costly, showing the esteem in which they are held. Mr. Creighton Devitt, reeve of Cartwright, very ably acted as chairman and invited the bride and groom to take the seats of honour. The bride's father and mother, Mr: and Mrs. L. E.- Mountjoy, and the groom's sister and brother, Mrs. C. Marlow and Mr. Herbert Swain, were also asked to take places on the plat- form. A splendid program was then given consisting of speeches, songs; and recitations. Following this the bride and groom were presented with the presents which were opened for all to see. " Lunch was served, and those présunt treated to a piece of wedding cake. The floor was then cleared and danc- ing and social time enjoyed until the wee sma' hours when the guests de- parted wishing the young couple a long and happy wedded life.

Reid Cook has engaged with Mr. F. Batty, Brooklin, and has moved to Mur. Batty"s south house this 'week. The deep ruts in the ice on the pave- ment are said to be the cause of three bad accidents here last week, when cars skidded out of them into the ditch and completely overturned. For- tunately only one occupant was hurt and 'required medical attention, but two of the cars were badly EA) The sleet storm on Sunday night did not improve matters any but made travelling very hazardous until the pavement was sanded.
