" We regret to report the: death on New Year’s day of Gertrude Orr, the little seven-yearâ€"old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Orr, of West Lambton street, near the furniture factory. The little girl had beqn ill for some time with diabetes. Interment takes place Saturday afternoon at two o’clock to Durham cemetery. Mrs. E.oJ. Anderson, writing from Plenty, Sask., on December 16th, says, “I don’t know what in the world I would do without The Chronicle. Sometimes there isn’t much news, but I read ads. and all then. The story is fine, and very exciting. The weather has been delightful. Last week it was just like Indian Summer. We had a slight fall of snow on Saturday, but not a bit of sleighing so far. Threshing is still going on up here. The crOps were real good, and our little town is booming." Lest our readers may have forgotâ€" ten, Mrs Anderson was Miss Alice Lawrence before going west. On Saturday night, about eleven o’clock, a team of horses belong- ing to Mr. Wm. Sharp, of Bent- inck, broke out of McKechnie’s shed on Queen street and started for home. That they were anxious to get there is very little doubted by those who saw them go up through the-main street at express train speed. The hind part of the sleigh Was deposited at the Chronicle office corner, while the front bob stuck to the runaways. Owing to the lateness of the hour, there were very few vehicles on the street, else something more serious might have to be reported. So far as we can learn, very little damage was done. Word comes from Beardsley, Minnesota, of the death of Edwin Bone, who was born in England on the 9th of December, 1824, and died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Ridolph Konold, Salt Lake City, Utah, on the 14th of December. 1912. He leaves three sons and two daughters, William, in Minne- sota, John in Battleford, Sask., Fred, whose whereabouts is not known, Elizabeth, Mrs. G:H. Flood, in Minnesota, and Mrs. Konold in Salt Lake City. A son, Alfred, died ten years ago, and Mrs. Hooper, of Egremont, also deceas- ed, was a daughter. We under- stand Irom the information receiv- ed, that Mr. Bone was an early settler in Egremont, where the family was well known some years ago.

Hartley, with in- structions to count them and give. the names of the winner 01:99 .- ners as the case mightube. 9 found the jar to contain 1670 Whole beans, and 23 half beans. The broken ones were not to be counted, and '1670 was, therefore. the guessing mark. To select the nearest guess to 1670 was the next task, and the guesses were .wicle apart, ranging from 220- to 4700. One of David Hamilton’s ballots with 1675 appeared. and he seemeri to be the sole Winner till Almr. Alexander’s ballot appeared with the same number, 1675. The count remained a tie, and the money will be divided according to the terms of the contest, each receiv- ine: $2.50. Some of the guessers who came near Winning but didn’t are Mrs. Jas. McCracken, with 1654; Mrs. Wm. Scarf. 1683; Miss Anna Burns, 1651; Alex. Morton, 1650; and Walter Burns and J. N. Murdock; with 1624 each. The glass jar containing the beans holds about a pint, and the beans were of the small white variety. Since the count was made a number haxe enquired about the result, but we. think it Wiser to stand by om promise and make the announce- ment of Winners’ names in the first issue of the New Year. We congratulate the winners, and heartily wish both 'winners and losers the best of happiness during the New Year. Two years ago, the first prize went to Emerson Kinnee, of British Columbia, and the second prize to A. D. McLeod, of Priceville.- Mr. Kinnee was not in the contest this time, and Mr. McLeod has ap- parently lost his guessing powers, as he shot far too high.

Pre- cisely at 'the appointed hour, the groom took his place, and immed- iately after, to the strains of Mun-delssohn’s Wedding march, played by Miss Lyla Kelsey, the bride came forward, leaning on the arm of her father, who grace- fully gave her away. To the solemn questions of the officiating clergyman, the anSwers Were thoughtfully given, each realizing to the fullest degree the import- ance and sole’mnity of the contract into which they were entering. The bride was charmingly at- tired in a dress of cream liberty satin, with an overdress of em- broidered ninon. She carried in her hand a bouquet of bridal roses and lilies of the valley, and wore a handsome pearl and cameo necklace, the groom’s gift. The bride, by her genial manner, courtly conduct, and uniform fi- delity to her friends and acquaint- ances, was a general favorite. The groom possessed a high de- gree of affability, and was much respected in business and social circles. Both carry with them the community’s best Wishes for a long, prosperous and happy life in the Great West, where they. intend to locate.
