DR. LANDERKIN THE CHOICE. On Tuesday. 213t..the High Court met in Town Hall at 10 o’clock. a fine, commodious and well fitted building, fully twice the size of our town hall here, when the Court at once proceeded to business. After calling the roll of officers and dele- gates, the H. C. R., Bro. G. L. Wil. son, presented his annual- report, To the officers and members of Court Durham No. 111, Independent Order of Foresters : \Ve, your delegates, elected 'to rep- resent your Court at the fourth an- nual meeting of the High Court of Central Ontario, held in the town of Owen Sound on August 21$t and 22nd, beg leave to report as follows : And now a word for Mr. Richard- son, the Conservative candidate, whom we have known intimately for fifteen years, and for whom. as years pass by, our reSpect is steadily in- creasing. He is a man of sterling principles, clear-headed and thought- ful. but lacking to some extent at least in the geniality upon which the success of some men so largely de- pends, but he is a man every time. As a public speaker he has few un- trained superiors. He is acareful reader, and has the happy faculty of being able to understand what he reads and communicate it to others _______ wv v~nsvtg He is not a man to push himself into any position and whenever he ap- pears asan aspirant_ {or public honors, it is at the call of the public, who have long recognized him as a man of more than ordinary ability. We feel confident that with a little ex- perience in parliamentary life Mr. Richardson would be a power for good go vernment Some of the Speakers at the Con- vention took a fancy to indulge in a little levity. regarding the cheek of Mr. Richardson, in Opposing “the man who had beaten the man who beat him.” This was all rightgxs a littie amusement to vary the monon ony, of some of the dry addresses in- flicted upon the audience, and we must. say it was a very respectable one, but even the Speakers who in- dulged their fancies in such “ soft Stuff ” must remember that Dr, Lan- derkin never had a very large major- ity, though he had enough to get there. To predict the result at this Stage of the game would, it seems to us. be the height of folly, but meeting as we do with. both parties we can easily see that the sanguine feeling for success is a decreasing.r quantity. Personally, while we resr ect Dr. Landerkin, and admire him in many ways, we feel that the government he supports, has fallen so far short of carrying out their pre-election promises, that they do not deserve a renewal of public confidence and a return to power; but it is not ncc~ essary, nor do we think it wise in a local paper to keep contix‘iually harp- ing on the same strings, and mincing and muddling matters that have been 1 dealt with in the leading organs of the respective parties. Dr. Lander- kin is the Liberal choice and twenty- cightyears of public life is apprentice- ship enough for all to form some idea what they may expect. The Dr. has certainly been a popu- lar man during all these years of public life. To deny the {act would be a. strong evidence of ignorance or dishonesty on our part. His genial ofi' handedness. and his inexhaustable fund of bubbling wit have been the chief sources of his strength in hold- ing the constituency for the Liberal party. To say that he has beena strong man in the party ranks is something we shall leave to the public to decide. 'e was again selected to contest his ld constituency, of South Grey, which he has represented with the exception of one term for the past twenty-eight years. The electors on both sides of politics know their men now and whom they have to work for till the time of election. C. 0. F.

On the afternoon of the first day Mr. John McLaughlin, of Owen Sound, was kind enough to give each delegate a free pass to Balmy Beach on his beautifulSteamer “Mazeppa,” which was heartily enjoy ed by all concerned. Baltny Beach Isabeauti- fol place, about 1 miles north east of the town. Everything went OE smoothly, with one exception, our worthy High Chief Ranger, Bro. Wilson. was so taken up with the fine attractions of the park that he got left and had to walk to town in- stead ol' utilizing his complimentary ticket. However, there were no accidents during our Stay in the town. Everyone there tried to excel in kindness to the visitors, which we know will long be remembered by the High Court of Central On- tario. But “ eather is tricky , look out! Look out for colds espec- ially. Don’t get thin, there is safety in plumpness. Man woman and child. It. was decided to request the Su- preme Court to so change the consti- tution that it would not be necessary for new members to Sign their policy designating their beneficiary, as it: was sometimes difficult to get them to attend the meetings of their Court. Our High Chief Ranger, Bro. Geo. L. Wilson, attended sixty meetings of weak subordinate Courts, made titty addresses, and the expense to the High Court, including travelling and office expenses, telephone and telegraph dill not exceed seventy dol- There were thirteen new Courts added during the year. There are still the same number of Courts in arrears as last year, viz., 36, but their indebtedness has been reduced considerably. Last year is Stood $2362.82. at the present, time it is $177.57, a decrease of $185.25, which we consider is moving: in the right direction. [ There were 1646 new members ad- ! ded to the roll for Central Ontario, 158 over the previous year, but we have to regret the very large num- ber of lapses during the year. Just tuo thirds of the number accepted applicants by adding 69 lost by death, makinganet increase for the year . of 52S). Considerable discussion took: place over this matter, and the dele- ‘gates were urged on their returnl . home to use every fair means in‘ ‘ their power, together with the mem- T bers of their respective courts, that 5 when they secure an applicant to keep him in the order. Quite a num- ber were lost after being examined and passed by the medical board. This is not as it should be, and we would urge upon the members of this court to put their shoulder to the wheel and let us make an effort to secure new blood into our ranks and keep hold of the splendid record we have enjoyed in the past. Examsâ€"On the 23rd day of Aug- ust, 1597, the High Court of Central Ontario was indebted to the Supreme Court $2,622.73. We are pleased to be able to inform this court that. the above amount has been entirely wiped out, and we have to-day the handsome sum of $2549.00 on hand, the cost of mileage and per diem allowance to delegates, in round fig- ures $1,200. ‘dl‘S. uhich was well received.

The rest of the guests were from this neighborqood. Each had remem- bered the bride in tangible form, for a room was crowded with presents, useful, beautiful and of value. Rev. Smith and wife endeared themselves All nature seemed to be in har- mony with the most happy event which took place at “Rosedale,” the residence of Mr. and Mrs, Thos. Cook, last Wednesday, August 29th, when their only daughter, Ella Maude, was united in marriage to Mr. John Love, of the suburbs of Markdale. It was an ideal dayâ€"- fresh, soft breezes, mellow skies and the new green on the fields. At high noon about fifty five guests, mostly near relatives and a few close friends gathered on the lawn at the front door of the cosy home. The mellow strains of Mendelssohn’s wedding March floated out from the j parlor and soon the groom and hisl supporter, Mr. John Cook, took posi-, tion under the flower-decked arch. I A moment later the bridesmaid, fol-1 lowed by the queenly bride, leaning1 on the arm of her father, joined; them. It was a picture that thosei present will never forget. Tommy: Cook the white dressed page, Edith: Love, the flower wreathed little: maiden, the happy faces of the two I young men, the regal beauty of the; ,modeSt bride, and the winsome pret-i l Etiness of Miss Annie Loye, the brldL'Slllald. Rev. \Vrav R. Smith most aptly made them one. Then there came the warm hand-clamps“ loving words and endearments. Ar- i tist Brown, of Durham, was present I and“took”first the bridal group, and afterwards the whole company. After this, the guests repaired to the dining room, where a beautiful, rero cherche breakfast awaited them. Two tables decked with choice floww ers, laden with delicious edibles, andl all asparkle with polished silver andl glass, made a bright scene. The bridal cake was of four stories and “athing of beauty,” and yet nicer still to eat. The groom’s cake was A]. During the repaSt, music and song flowed in from the adjoining room. It was an hour of good} I things. Speeches were given at the close by the genial pastor and the Chronicle’s scribe, who had stowed away so much edibles, fruit and ice- cream that he was too full to say much. Ajoyous hour followed the repast and then the happy couple headed a procession of gay spirits to Ceylon station, where they took the evening train for Toronto. They cutely escaped the rice shower at the home, but ample amends were made at the train-side. The bridal gown was white organdie, trimmed withI valenciennes lace. She wore fulll l bridal veil and carried a bouquet of white asters, a raceme of white hy- drangea clustered under the 'eil. The bridesmaid was gowned in white l organdie, trimmed with pink, and wore a coronet of pretty flowers. The guests from a distance were Mr. and Mrs. John McFie and their , daughter, Mrs. J. Lotan, a charming I bride ofayear from London; Mrs. - Geo. Mighton.of Durham; Mr. and Mrs. James Watson from Normanby; Mr. and Mrs. Isaacs, of Dromore, the ' fcrmer winning the admiration of all by his songs, the latter had the honor of playing the wedding march; Mr- R- 000k and MEQRDQ “New“ -... l _ \ Phi; Misses Annie and Bertha McNally are home from London and Miss Helen from Owen Sound.
