Dennett, of Egre- mont, on \Vednesday. May 16th, when the eldest daughter, Belinda Thomson, and Mr. George Stewart Walker, of Paisley, recently of Langdon, North Dakota, U. S., were united in matri- mony. The wedding was mostly priv- ate, only the most intimate friends and members of the family being present. Rev. Thos. Colling, B. A... officiated. The marriage ceremony was perform- ed on the lawn beneath a beautiful arch of evergreens. The red decorat- ing bells as they were swayed back and forth by the soft breeze were very characteristic of the occasion. The pathway was strewn with flowers. The bride was given away by her uncle Mr. Thompson of Grimsby and looked very pretty in a beautiful dress of cream crepe de chene. The brides- maid, Miss Mary Dennett, was prettily gowned in white lustre. Mr. John \Valker, brother of the groom, was groosman. After the ceremony a dainty repast was served. The happy young couple received many gifts from‘ their admirers and well wishers. The South Grey Rifle Association ranges to the east of the town are rapidly nearing completion, and will. it is expected, be formally opened for target practise by May 24th. Mr. Wm. Ramage had the contract for digging the marking pit. and erect- ing the firing mounds, and at present has the two hundred range ready for use. We believe we have a range that is perfectly safe, it is in an isolated section of the country, and the target will be placed immediately in front of a steep hill on the Hunter farm, making the danger from ricochet bullets practic- ally nothing. With careful handling of the rifles, this range should flourish, and aside from the fun to be derived from it, the benefits are well worth the time. MARRIED.
