Now is the time when gifts will l‘e passed from friend to friend and while a kindly recognition of the affection of one to another if made in the right spirit is deserving of commendation. ‘Ve are sorry to believe that some will contribute only with the hope uf - get‘ ting something better in return. This is wrong and no gift however valuable is deserving of the name if the giver doesn’t make it with a free and honest heart. \Vhen you give anything don’t, keep talking anything about it, it looks bad to say the least. 0}: Saturday last, the 21st of Decem- 3 her, Mr. and Mrs. Aljoe of this town were fifty-eight years married. The nuptial knot was tied in the city of Toronto by Rev. Chas. Mitchell. a clergyman of the Church of England, in 19. at the residence of the Rev. H. J. Grassett, who was for years the officxating clergyman in St. James’ Cathedral on King Street. The groomsman was the late John Mat- thews and the bridesmaid was the present Mrs. John Matthews, of Glen- elg. The Golden Wedding was celebrated eight years ago, when Mrs. Matthews, then a widow. acted again as bridesmaid, but the position of the “v wâ€"_vâ€"'_ groomsman v’vas unfilled as Mr. Mat- thews had died some time previously. Rev. and Mrs. Ferguson. who were stationed here at the time, were also in attendance and enjoyed the cere- mony, which Mr. Aljoe regardsas in strange contrast to the next one attended by this respected couple who were so unfortunate as to be accidently poisoned at the next Golden W'edding they attended near Caledonia, from the effects of which Mrs. Ferguson died in af-ew days, and Mr. Ferguson underwent a. prolonged illness which developed into typhoid. If Mr. and Mrs. Aljoe are spared for two years longer they intend to celebrate their Diamond. Wedding. We hope they may. VOL. 40â€"100. 2128. NEWS AROUN D TOWN For “Quality First” Christmas MT.

J ERRY from Kerry is a funny musical farce comedy and vaudeville attraction, Jerry from Kerry, in which that cheerful, comic lcharacter is the central figure, is to he presented shortly in this city. This will be welcome news to all classes of theatregoers. The in- terest in the laughable. diverting and humorous incidents, events and hap- penings of this comedy never ceases or flags, and its success has been little short of amazing. Undoubtedly the profuse comedy it contains has had much to do with securing pOpular favor, and the scenes and adventitious incidents hustling in animated action, bristling in effervescent humor, bub- bling with unadulterated mirth and permeated with startling novelties, quaint originality in catchy music, and elaborate cos tummg and presented by a cast of the ve1 y best and highest salaried artists possible to secure, have all contributed to its phenomenal suc- cess. This company also carry their own superior uniformed concert band and orchestra, which is a special fea- ture.
