OLD PRESBYTERIAN On Saturday last the annual Garden Party under the auspices of the ladies of the Old Presbyterian Church was a most successful event in the social calendar of Church activities. The grounds looked very attractive with the nature carpet of green and canopy of foliage, while the electric lights strung here and there made it pleasâ€" ant for moving around and seeing your friends. Tea was served on the lawn from tables prettily decorated with roses and other summer blooms and needless to say all enjoyed the homemade dainties served so bountiâ€" fully. The Weston Town Band was in attendance and as usual reflected credit on themselves for the generous and excellent service rendered. A splendid musical programme was also given. Mrs. J. L Cruickshank, Misses Jean and Jessie McLelian and Mr. E. C. Roy contributed the vocal numâ€" bers, Miss Georgina Burgess readings, and Mr. Leonard Morley violin, all of which were much appreciated and heartily encored by the large gatherâ€" ing. Miss Irene Lee, as accompanist and pianist, also added to the enjoyâ€" ment of all. Another pleasing feature and one receiving considerable attenâ€" tion from young and old were the booths in charge of the girls of the Sunday School who looked after the wants of the many patrons by handâ€" ing out water melon, ice cream and other confectionaries. Rev. W. M. Mackay, chairman for the occasion, welcomed the large number of friends and Mayor Gardhouse also gave 2 short address. The singing of the National Anthem brought the enterâ€" tainment to a close. MT. DENNIS LADY REACHES THE AGE OF 90 YEARS On Monday, July 12th, the home of Mr. Shaw, Locust Ave., Mt. Dennis, was the scene of a very happy gatherâ€" ing, when family and friends numâ€" bering some thirty persons gathered to congratulate his mother, Mrs. John Shaw, on reaching the ninetieth mileâ€" stone in life‘s pathway. Although old in years, the recipient of the many good wishes and floral tokens is young in spirit, taking a keen interest in all things. She was born in Ireland and came to Canada when a girl of twelve years, settling with her parents in Peel County, Township of Chinguaâ€" cousy. After her marriage, she and her husband engaged in farming and upon retiring from active life moved to Brampton, where she resided for a number of years, coming to Mt. Denâ€" nis some two years ago to make her home with her son. Of a family of four boys, three are living and were present at the birthday festivities, also seven grandchildren and twoâ€" great grandchildren. Mr. W. J. Ward, Main St., Weston, is a nephew and he was among the guests assembled to honor the aged lady. LIVINGSTONâ€" On Thursday,. July $, to Mr. and Mrs. J. A.

It is becoming more dangerous as ‘ the traffic increases for any rig or person to drive along the highway‘ after dark without a light on their wagon or buggy. You but have to{ note the suddenness: with which an object appears before those who drive cars or you have noted how drivers, blinded with the big headlight, are unable.to see the Object in front, and there is a crash. This can be avoided if you will only see that there is a light upon your vehicle~ The light has suchâ€" a penerating power that it gives the motorist a chance to see what is ahead of him and thus time to get out of the way. This is no time to wait till you are seriously inâ€" jured. For your own protection, it will pay to have a light on all your rigs, and don‘t take a chance after dark without it on. Our legislators will one of these days put this on the books as a law of our land. That will be whep a few more accidents are recorded every night on account of this. Don‘t wait for them as a protection for the ‘public, . place a, light on all of your vehicles that you drive. l He was born at Leek, Staffordâ€" shire, in 1844 and came to New York in 1872 to take charge of the merâ€" cantile business of John Peach and Sons. The following year he came ito‘ Toronto and was. bookkeeper for Smith and Wilby, Weston, afterwards | being taken on the staff of the license ldepa,r’cment. He was a life member ? of Wilson Masonic Lodge No. 86, also a member of Occident Chapter, Royal l Arch Masons, and= of â€" Commercial \Lodge, S.0.E.B.S., and Lambton.

Davenport, issuer of municipal licenses at the City Hall, died ‘at the rsidence, Lambton Mills, on Thursday, July 8th. He had beeh ill since Juné. 22 and since Sunday had been unconscious. . His physician says that illness was due to a breakâ€" down of the nervous system, caused by incessant work. The issuing of licenses for billiard rooms, dance halls, circuses, transient trading, etc., came under his jurisdicâ€" tion and he was regarded as an authâ€" ority on the municipal license law and made many suggestions for its amendment. For thirtyâ€"ecight â€" years he served as a civic employe. ~In 1910 he married Harrot Boak His wife and a sister, Mrs. M..clarkâ€" son, Breaston, Derbyshire, Eng., surâ€" vive him. â€"Intermert took place at Park Lawn Cemetery Sunday, July 11. The Times & Guide DEATH OF E.~C. DAVENPORT wWESTON Published ev:ry Wednesday Yolrs Tss CoRn e N Nes son Smpa n S ul L LIGHTS FOR‘ALL RIGS LAMBTON MILLS In the first place i will be necesâ€" sary that the morclants of this iow n get together and put on a big camâ€" paign to stir up the people and 11â€" form the town that the merchants of this town are out to do business and give service that can‘t be duplicated in Toronto. In the second place, there must be some attraction that will draw the people to Weston. If this is done, it will mean that the store windows will have to become very atâ€" tractive and well dressed. Seasonable articles with the prices upon them should be placed there so as to draw attention and induce purchasers to enter your store. In Weston there has not been much effort put forth to secure the transient trade. In this way there will be a lot of transient trade brought into your store. Once you have them‘enter the store, show your wares off to the very best adâ€" vantage on your shelves, your counâ€" ter, your show cases. Have â€"your salesmen ever ready to give the very best service and to please the purâ€" chaser. If this is done by all the merchants in the town, Weston will create a business centre. Special atâ€" tractive windows with seasonable arâ€" ticles have the power of suggestion to those who pass. This is a great asâ€" set that must be worked up. Along this line also there should ‘be a strong line of publicity and advertising: It is not possible to reach every home by your windows, but you can draw the people to your store through well set and timely advertising in the . local paper, through circulars, by neat sugâ€" gestive letters for seasonable articles. All these will aid. If the merchants of the town will only coâ€"operate and do this thing in a real big way, then Weston will go ahead as a centre for business and progressiveness. Nothing succeeds like success. This is still true. It is when you get the large body. all moving in one way that you see this at work. It is very hard to pull up stream, but at times 1i is necessary on account of the ocâ€" casion. In Weston there is now a great opportunity for the development. of our nome towiu bwi‘ness. Never was there more |yeople in â€" Weston than what we have toâ€"day. Never was there a better chance to secure it.use people‘s trade than there is now. it is very inconv:isient for the sho» ~ig to be done im Wert Toronto or 5y mail.

One of the main vthings is to induce ihe people to shown in Weston, to come down and see che s‘cres,to make Wesâ€" ton their real home. How can th â€" be done? : Some time ago Weston Council reâ€" ceived a bill for a carload of oil which had been ordered for Weston Streets, but as no oil had arrived, the ‘Clerk was in structed to write the Western Oil Refining Co. as to delay. The following reply‘ was received by the Clerk on Monday of this week: ‘Clerk of the Town of Weston, J. H. Taylor; In reply to your letter of July 6th, relative to non arrival of tank car M.A.T.X. 125, please be advised that the car left the refinery at Tulsa, Okla., the middle of June, but has been delayed owing to the switchâ€" mans‘ strike.
