All nannnl‘ IT was quite cold on Tuesday night and the Methodists didn’t rake in as much coin at their garden party as they would if it had been as hot as it was last week. The basement of the church was made to do service on the occasion, and about 850 00 were tak- en in. AT the recent entrance examination Master A. Weir. one of Mr. Tyer- mann’s pupils, headed the list of those who wrote in Durham. He took 8332 marks. and as far as we notice by the published results only two stand ahead of him in the South and East Grey Inspectorates. These two wrote at Hanover and are likely pupils of the village school. WE felt it quite an honor when the Rev. Mr Stewart. who is now over 90 years’of age. came in on the 9th inst. with a nice lot of new potatoes. the first and only ones we saw of this year’s growth. From the indi- cations. the potato cr0p will be good if nothing happens them from now. Mr. Stewart will accept our thanks, and we hope the old gentleman may continue to treat us the same way every year for the next twenty years. OUR junior lacrosse club crossed sticks in Mount Forest on Friday with the juniors of that town.

Howard McDonald. Charlie Burt, Nat Swallow, Willie Laidlaw. Barry Lavelle, Bert McDonald, Will Lavelle, Howard Lawrence, Frank Becker, Allie Gun and M. Smith. A vnnY successful garden partyi was held Thursday evening of lasri week on the spacious and well kept ; lawn of Mrs. Jamse Gun’s, up town.‘ under the auspices of the Presbyter- ian church. In an out-door gathering of this hin‘ the weather means much, in fact it’s the "whole tip.” and fortunately the weather on this ocw casion was all that could be desired of any reasonable Presbyterian. and the result was that a large and jovial crowd was present to do justice to the refreshments served at tables by obliging waiters. which consisted of the usual garden party bill-of-fsre. The program. presided over by Rev. Mr. Farquharson. consisted of sing- ing. recitations and selections by the‘ hand. Mr. Dryedale, who is over‘ from Scotland on a visit here, sang three or (our Scotch songs in good voice, which delighted all present. llissee NeCreary, [onto and Wilson each took part in singing.

A REPORT was circulated some time ago that Alex. Coutts, formerly of Bentinck, but now in the Klondyke, had been shot out in the cold region. Investigation. however. proves the report false, and on Monday we were requested to publish a contradiction. It seems that a German named Alex. Coates was shot and this is how the mix-up occurred. 200. woollen socks 2 pair for 25¢ at H. H. Mockler’a. Last Wednesday afternoon about one hundred and fifty invited guests assembled St the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Aldred to witness the marriage of their niece, Miss Ethel Maude Derby. to Mr. Harry H. \Vil- kinson. of Varney. At four o’clock in answer to the Wedding March which was beautifully played by Miss SOphia Burnett. of Durham. cousin of the bride, Mr. Wilkinson and his brother John took their places under an arch of everrgeen. draped with white bunting and ferns, erected for the occasion under two large apple trees. Next came little Miss Winnie Blythe, scattering roses before the bride. who came leaning on the arm of her uncle, Mr. Aldred, closely followed by the bridesmaid, .‘diss Cora. sister of the bride. The bride looked very handsome in a trailing gown of white muslin. trim- med with lace and insertion, the brid- al veil being the same length as the dress and fastened upon the head with pale pink and white Sweet Peas. The bridesmaid looked very pretty in a dress of white dotted muslin. carrying a boquet of white carnations while the bride carried white lilies. The groom was looking his best which means a good deal. while the groomsman looked like one who need not keep batch hall very long. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Newton of Durham, assisted by the Rev Miller, retiring minister of Var- ney. After con ratulatioss were over a dainty lunc was served on the lawn by a band of very compet- ent waiters who thoroughly under- stood their business, after which the bridal party served the bridescake. The bride’ s travelling suit was brown camelsh,ir broadcloth trimmed with silk and cream waist trimmed with a; plique and cream ribbon. A very socieble evening wes spent by young end old in pleying croquet and‘other gemes while mnsic must have filled the eir for e long distence as there were four difierent music- al instruments being pleyed et the same time.

Forest, eldest son of Mrs. Maggie Amos, at the early age of 16 years, 1 month and 21 dys. The funeral took place on Wednesday from the home of his brother-in-law, Mr. Wm.

Our correspondents, as a rule, are not too long-winded and generally give the news in short form. We receive contributions sometimes. however, that contain very little information for the amount of space they occupy. We do wish that some contributors would get over the nasty habit of making sense- less gibes at their sensitive neighbors. Such remarks are no use and only bring contempt on the writer.
