JANUARY 9, On New Years Day a very inter- esting event took place at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. John Mc- Artliur, of Centre Glenelg, when their charming young daughter, Miss Annie,was united in wedlock to Mr. Wesley Williams, of this town. The nuptial knot was tied by Rev. Mr. McGregor, Baptist minister of Gravenhurst, formerly pastor of the Baptist church here. Mr. Bert Stonehouse acted gracefully in the capacity of groomsman, while the bride was assisted in the trying lmoments by her sister, Miss Maggie lMcArthur. The bride was neatly attired in a handsome blue grey l trimmed with white satin and white .lace. The bridesmaid was similarly dressed, and lent abeautiful charm lto the bridal scene by the graceful “ manner in which she discharged the duty devolving upon her. After the close of the ceremony and the usual congratulations, the, guests, about fifty in number. sat‘ 'Il down to a most sumptuous wedding 1 breakfast. The table was handsome- "ly decorated with Chinese lilies and ;|carnations. The bride’s cake was a ' marvel of 'culinery excellence, and though the work of the bride herself. it would do credit to a professional confectioner. The groom’s present to the bride was a handsome red 3' plush lady’s companion in the shape I i l , f a horse shoe, and to the brides- 3. maid a gold bracelet. NORMANBY. Old Cou ncil all re-elected.
