This is the fourth meeting for the purpose given by the young peo- ple, the only change in the per- sonnel of the entertainers being the absence of Mr. T.

DURHAM BOYS GOT THE EATS From week to week questions political and otherwise. of the ut- most importance to the farmer are coming to the front. These ques- tions are in many instances per- mitted to pass without comment by some newspapers for political reasons. That old. and reliable friend of the farmer, The Weekly Sun. does not allow any questions affecting the farmer or his familv to pass without comment. You may not always agree with its opinion, but The Sun being free from party or political control gives its readers an unbiased opin- ion on all questions. These opin- ions are always worth reading. while The Sun’s market reports have long been considered most reliable from the farmer’s stand- noint. Are you reading this expon- ent of your interests? If not, you are missing many good things each week. You will find. The Sun instructive and. profitable reading. We received a letter Monday from L.-Corp. Sted‘man, who is now in “King’s Canadian Red Cross Hospital, Bushy Park, Lon- Signed on behalf of the Boysâ€" Sergt. Darling, Pte. D. B. McFar- lane, Pte. B. H.

The socks were received'through an issue from the Rec]. Cross when he was in service in France. Though hunt]- reds of miles away, it must be a pleasure to come into close touch with home at the time of his en- listment. He Wishes for the war to ceasem that he may return to Canada. ' DURHAM, ONT THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 9, I916 Yesterday afternoon at two o’clock a very .pretty wedding was s-olemnized at the home of Mr. and. Mrs. John McCoskery, when their only .daughter, Florence May, was united, in mar- riage to Mr. William S. Hunter, son of Mr. and. Mrs. J. P. Hunter of town. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Mr .Whaley, in the presence of only immediate relatives. The bride Was charmingly attir- ed in a Wedding gown of White satin and georgette crepe with lace and. pearl trimmings, and car- ried a bouquet of bridal roses and. 1in of the valley streamers. Her going away suit was of 'Wine broadcloth opening over a White silk blouse, With black velvet hat to. match. The bride’s popularity was evi- denced by the goodly number of costly presents and valuable cheques of which she was the recipient. The happy couple left by the afternoon Grand. Trunk train for a short honeymoon, and on their return will commence home-mak- ing in town. We tender our heart- iest congratulations, and. hope their iourney through life may be full of ioy and. happiness. After a protracted illness, Mr. George Wright, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Wright, .died on Tues- gdav afternoon at the parental home here, where he spent the past year or so in very poor health. He was 36 years of age, a quiet, inoffensive young man, but never the possessor of a robust constitution. Some ei ht or ten years ago he married iss Emma Slatcher, and since then has residea mostly in Toronto, where he worked as salesman with the T. Eaton. Co. till about a year and a half ago. when he became incapacitated and had to give up work. For a few months he was in the asanitariumi at Weston, but decided to come home a little over a year ago, but never re- gained his usual strength. His trouble was of a tubercular na- ture, and. though he never ex- pressed. strong hOpes for recovery he was always bright and cheerful. we might say, right up to the time of his death. He. was fond. of music, fond of ...~::m'pany, and fond of conversation with his friends. His death was not lacked for so soon; though weak. he was bright, and on the Satur- day night previous to his death he was delighted with a number of solos and. musical selections contributed by friends who called to see him. To him it seemed no worry or no strain to listen to music. He leaves, besides his parents and two sisters, Mrs. Traynor of Mulock and Mrs. Matthews of Markdale, a Widow and two children, residing in Toronto. By an onder-inâ€"council, dated the 12th of October, it Was .decided that preference shall be given in making all appointments to the civil service to. candidates having at least the minimum qualifica- tions required. by law, who have served: overseas in His Majesty’s forces during the present _War, and Interment takéé place this after- noon at 2.,30 to Durham cemeterv. after a service in the Methodist church.
