It was decided thet Owen Sound be the next place of meeting. (This week’s budget.) The ninth annual convention of the Epworth Leagues of the Owen Sound District was held in the Methodist church here on Tuesday of last week. On account of the snow blocked roads but the sessions did not lack in in terest and profit because of the very interesting addresses and papers that were given. At 11. a. m. the chair was taken by the President Rev. J. S. 1. \Vilson. of this place, who con. ducted the devotional exercises after which the secretarY-tl‘easurer. Miss Holland, of Owen Sound was called upon for her report. Then fOUOWed the election of the nominating com- mittee after which the President ad- dressed the Convention in his usual thoughtful and interesting manner. Rev. G. R. Turk, of Owen Sound, then preached the convention sermon a very able and edil'ying discourse on Acts 19: 2. The session closed with consecration service led by Rev. Mr. Rodwell, of Markdale. The afternoon session was Opened by Rev. Mrs. J Brandon, 0; Belgrave. ac- companied by two friends. are ex- pected to visit the farmer’s sister, Mrs. Jas. Tucker. Wm. Grant was so unfortunate as to have two heifers killed by the train last Wednesday while passing over the track at Varney. From press reports and other information regard- ing the slow service of the G. T. B. it had been supposed they would stOp and give the right of way to cows or other travellers faster than them- selves, and as there had been no trains last week until the one in question. it. was thought they had gone out of business entirely until the one that did the deed came tear- ing down the track with two engines attached as fast a horse could trot and in the excitement of the moment it is supposed the officials forgot to blow the whistle until so near the crossing that Mr. Grant had not time to get them either back or over. con- sequently he has billed the Company for damages. Mr. Thomas Flemming, of Summer- berry, Manitoba. who, with his noble life partner is renewing old acquain- tances in this part. spent a pleasant day with the old neighbors on Friday. He was a leading spirit in this part when he resided here some twenty years ago, and much esteemed. Old Father Time seems to be dealing very favorably with his good looks. Although we said last week the marriage of Miss Amanda Matthews to Mr. Alex. Merchant’ was very quietly gotten up. it was neverthe- less well done and a very pleasant event to all present. The Rev. Mr. Ryan tied the knotin the presence of a houseful of near friends and rela- ‘ tives. Mr. W. E. Matthews, brother Lof the bride, and a member of the Toronto street car service, and Miss Merchant, sister of the groom. per- formed the pleasant duty of assisting them through the ordeal. The bride looked her very best in her wedding attire, the very picture of health and happiness. while the sturdy groom looked calm, confident and courage- 1 ous. The wedding supper was one of the best and the number of costly presents showed how highly the bride was esteemed by those who know her best. The young couple will com- mence life on one of the fine farms near Yeovil and will take with them I the best wishes of all who know! them. i Miss A. Sin-s is filling the place of Miss Banks in a school near Dundslk for a mouth. W. E. Mstthews. who is up from Toronto for a few deyd visit, has got to be a handsome, clever looking fel- low and we expect to see the girls just tumbling over each other to make leap your proposals to him. A very enjoyable time is looked forward to in the home of Mr. Sam Chapman this Tuesday night and we predict an excellent time. Mr. Wm. Marshall’s sale on Fri- day was'a great success. The day was sucha glorious contrast to the usual cold stormy weather that it put everybody in good spirits. Auc- tioneer MacKay got Mr. Marshall full value for every article and a great many compliments for himself after the sale was over as well as the promise of more sales. Comer Conceins. Flesherton.

Mr. W. Barnhouse spent the paSt week in Toronto where he has pur- chased a grocerv and butcher busi- ness and expects to move thither about the middle of March. Mr Barnhouse and family will be much missed here and deep regrets are ex- pressed at their anticipated remov a. Mrs. Rev. W. Ayers, well known to many of our readers and who was recently left alone by be death of her husband, has disposed of her re- sidence in London and moved to To- ronto to reside with her youngest daughter Mrs. Dr. R.

In the Masonic Order, which an- nualy dispenses large benovelence, a scheme is being inaugurated by the Grand Master to institute a special benovelent fund of one hundred thousand dollars to mark the Semi- Centenary of the Grand Lodge of Canada. To institute this fund, which is to supplement grants from the general fund of Grand Lodge to cases of Special need, one dollar a year for three years is asked from each member of the Order. The members of Prince Arthur Lodge here at their meeting on Friday evening last manifested the spirit of benovelence common to Masonry by unanimously approving of the scheme and pledging the amount ask, ed off each. The residence of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Johnston, Toronto line, was the scene of a happy event on Wednes~ day evening of last week when their eldest daughter, Hattie, was united in marriage to Mr. George White,a respected young farmer who also lives on the Toronto line near the home of the bride. Rev. J S. I. Wil- son. B. D. of this place performed the ceremony. The young bride looked pretty attired in a cloth ‘skirt and a white silk‘ waist and was attended by her sister Miss Annie Johnston, who wore a cloth skirt and a pink silk waist. The groom’s brother Mr. '1‘. White acted as best man. Only a few immediate relatives and friends of the contracting parties were pre- sent and after congratulations to the happy couple the inviting wedding repast was served and the evening enjoyably spent by all. Mr, and Mrs White repaired to their own home where they commence married life with the best wishes of a large circle? of friends. The bride received many ‘ pretty and valuable presents. I At almost high noon on Wednes day of last week there took place at Camlachie, Lambton County, at the resident of Mr. M. G. Cole. brother of the bride. a matrimonial event of interest to many of our readers. The contracting parties being Mr. Chas. .Stewart and Miss Ida W. Gale, a well :known young couple of this place. Rev. Mr. Gunn, English church clergyman, Camlachie, performed the nuptials in the presence of a few rel~ atives and friends of the bride and groom who were unattended. The bride was becomingly attired in her very neat travelling suit. After the‘ wedding breakfast Mr. and Mrs. Stewart left for Toronto and the fol- lowing evening arrived at their future home in the suburbs here. where they were given a pleasing re. ception by a number of their friends. We join their many friendsin tender- ing congratulations and best wishes for a long and happy life. The bride was the recipient of a number of valuable wedding presents. {was conducted by the President. *The speakers for the evening were Revs. Turk and Wellwood. who gave excellent addresses. the former speak- ing on “The Active members pledge” and the latter on “The Epworth League and the indiflerent multi- tude.” Twelve members of the jun- ior League of the church gave a nice motto recitation and Miss Allie ’Joy‘ and Mr. Barnhouse each renderedl pleasing solos. A vote of thanks was tendered the Flesherton friends for their hospitality and the meeting was closed with the benediction by Rev. W. Wellwood chairman of the District. " haw returned PPLICATIONS will be received ek from an ex- by the undersigned up to FRI- iires at Ache- DAY, FEBRUARY 5TH. for the Detroit.Mich. ofice of Assessor for the Township ronto. of Glenelg for the yeer 1904. Al- rterly'service easement to he made between Feb. h next Wt}, 15th end the first of Key. The By-law for the better govern- ment of the town contains a clause prohibiting spitting on the sidewalks and other places, and it is tobe hOped the law in this respect will be strict- ly enforced. The filthy condition of our sidewalks at some roosting places during the past was disgraceful in the highest sense, and if distributors of such filth don’t know any better they ought to be taught alesson. We didn’t vote for Mayor Hunter but for all that he seems to be hand- ling himself pretty well so far. Rather than spoil him by a little praise, we’ll just point out that. he hasn’t yet got to the top of the lad- der. We have no evil designs on him or his position and we are broad enough to appreciate every good move he makes. He has always proved himself an honest member in the council and so far as we know he never got a " rake ofl.” Councillor Kress is very quiet, but this is a good quality in a new man. When a fellow is too fresh in the start he’s liable to get sat on and the influence he might otherwise have will never fully mature. Spontane- ous gas explosions don’t always g0 at par. The vote on Browne’s notice of motion to raise the hatel licenses re- sulted in a tie, and Mayor Hunter had to give the casting vote. It is safe to predict that the fees will be increased unless somebody flanks. Caretaker Davidson had his salary increased to five dollars a month. This gentleman has been quite efl‘i- cient in the work and he deserves to be awarded. Some members of the council must have a. very poor sense of smell In fact none of them seem to be very keen on that point when they pass a. bylaw permitting a pig pen within a hundred feet of a dwelling. Some even wanted to reduce this to eighty feet. ' A resolution to intrqduce a By-law to amend the early closing By-law was submitted and passed. On all pedlars a Bv-law is to be in- troduced to impose a town license. Notice of mouion to incrofluce By- law to increase hotel licenses was submitted by Councillors Browne and Livingston and passed. (j) No person shall be guilty of public brawling or fighting in any public place in the town of Durham. (k) The fine in each case of viola- tion of any of the foregoing may be $25.00 and costs and in case of non payment of fine, the chief constable is insrructed to make seizure of chat- tels. (b) No person shall keep any goat or pig within one hundred feet of any dweling house in the town of Durham. (i) The By-law prohibits begging in town or exposing malformations of any kind to create sympathy. (e) Makes indecency a criminal oEence with severe penalty.

(c) Prohibits gambling houses. and authorizes the town constable to make seizure in case of violation. (a) Prohibits dogs running at large from 10 p. 111. until 6 a. m. By-law 467 to amend By-law 342 for the better government of the town was introduced and passed by the council. This amendment Council met February lst. All present, Mayor Hunter in the chair. minutes read and adopted. Several accounts were recommended by finance committee and passed by the councfl. I only know I cannot drift beyond His love and care. Tuesday Febuary 2nd we puss the 14th milestone in the years of our. aiflection. “Hitherto hath the Lord helped us” and {Or the future I know non where His islands lift their palms in air. We omitted at last writing to ex- tend congratulations to our young friend Mr. John Bradley of Orchard on his entering the benedict state. Our very best wishes. John. Dr. Murray lenvee this week to :1: tend the Ontario Dental Society Con- vention which meets in Toronto next. Monday. He will be absent most of next. week. ment of the Lord’s Supper on Sunday morni 13 last. In the evening his discourse was on the objectionable hymuto some, No. 122. in the Metho- dist hymn hook, and was a strong vindication of the hymn and the theo- logy contained therein which. con- tended the speeker, was in harmony with the teaching of the Methodist church.
