THE home of Mr. and Mrs. John \Villiams was the scene of a pleasant gathering on Wednesday evening when their daughter Martha. was united in marriage to Mr. Willlam J. Byers, of Toronto. A number of the relatives and friends of the bride and bridegroom were present to witness the interesting ceremony which was performed by the Rev. Wray R. Smith. The invited guests did full justice to the sumptious wedding supper provided by the parents of the bride.after which a. pleasant evening was spent. Since then the happy pair have gone to Toronto, where they are going to reside for the future. The happy couple have the good wishes of their many friends. AN interesting address on Sidelights in the South African War was given Monday night in the Presbyterian church by Dr. Macdonald who went out with the second contingent and spent a year on the Veldt. The Dr. is graphic in his description, of some of the thrilling and amusing incidents that took place during the campaign. The lecture was illustrated by, views of real photographs taken by himtelf, and to. him in particular these simple shap shots will always remain a valu- able asset. The views were not at all satisfactory owing chiefly we imagine to the poor light used in the stereopti- con, the property of Mr. Ramage by whom it was operated. With a good lime-light instead of coal oil the re- sults would have been much better. At the close a hearty vote of thanks was moved by Mr. Campbell and fseconded by Mr. Ramage expressing [high appreciation of the Dr.’s kind- ladies of the church. w.

THE Charivari business is quite a nuisance and. if boys only realized the trouble in store for those who get married they would call around like gentlemen and tender their sympathies rather than start a helli-baloo. ‘ AFTER spending over seven years in the “Dave Macfsrlsne” house, ye Editor and family have moved this week to the house west of the station, known as “The Vair Property.” Mr. John McFadden, who recently pur- chased the house we vacated, has taken possession this week. WM. BLACK has bought out Wright's interest in the Brickyard. We have always advocated the idea of patroni- zing home industries, and if Mr. Black can only get the yard in operation, he Will confer a great boon on many who may Wish to build, providing he turns out good brick at right prices. A FEW days ago Mr. John Kinnee of this town called at the office and laid a big egg right into the hand of one of our compositors with instructions to give it to the poor half-starved editor for his supper. We cannot give the exact measurements of the monster hen egg, but it positively weighed be- tween five and six ounces. Think of three eggs Wei ghin g over a pound when the weight of a whole dozen of the ordinary size are supposed to tip the scale at about'a pound and a half. WE had a call Monday from Mr. Arthur Hughes, of Dornoch, and learned during a short conversation with him that he intends to take a trip this summer to Ireland the land of his birth. Though he came to this coun- try in 1864 and remained here ever since with the exception of a visit to the Green Isle twenty-seven years ago, any close observer would still know he was Irish. An’ how do they know, I dunno, but I know that they know that he‘s Irish. We wish Mr. Hughes a [fleasant trip. “'E are pleased to learn of the rapid recovery of Miss Mary Marshall who underwent an operation for appendi- citis. A day or so after the operation she took scarlet fever and bore the two afflicthms at the same time with great fortitude and cheerfulness. Most peo- ple are. satisfied with one sickness at a time and one at a time is about as much as most of us can stand. Miss Mar- shall is certainly good stuff, and pos- sessed of a strong constitution it seems easy for her to carry two or three or- dinary loads. Now that she is doing so well we hope to hear of aspeedy and perfect restoration to her usual health. MR. NORMAN MCINTUSH, one of our teaching staff, wheeled up to North Bruce Friday night, and after spending Saturday and the greater part of Sun- day under the parental roof, returned in the evening and resumed work as fresh as a ink on Monday morning. The distance to North Bruce, which is only a few miles from Port Elgin, is about forty-five miles, and anyone who will undertake such a task after supper may well be set up as a rival to W. K. Reid, who is said to take dinner in Toronto and reach here in time for choir practice the same evening. The sports committee should get them on the program at the Caledonian games. ‘ A GUN is dangerous whether loaded or not. Yesterday morning a small rifle was handed in to Mr. Whitmore to'xemove some wadding that was forced in by the owner in an attempt to clean it. He said there was nothing in it but rags and paper which Mr. Whitmore tried to bore out with little success. He then put the gun into the fire and as soon as be heated it the charge went off and the obstruction .was gone. We were standing in the shop at the time and saw the whole performance so that there’s no hear- say about it. It’s about time now that the fool with the gun should in- jure somebody. On a previous oc- casion, Mr. Whitmore attempted to take the breach out of an unloaded (2’) gun, but the thing went off when heated and sentâ€"the charge through lthewall.’ Blindcarelesneu hasnnfled iont may a valuable “to. l I ignemmmmnnutg 'JII' * Your money refunded if we fail to satisfy you. % CASH FOR BUTI‘ER AND EGGS. §J.J.HUNTER§ Our new prints are now in.
