This will be an opportunity for citizens to lay in a few of the good and fresh things our country friends are so capable of providing. We do not fancy that anything will be sold at cut- rate prices, as the proceeds, we understand, are to go towards patriotic purposes, and the arti- cles offered are donated by the ladies. We had a brief call last week from Mr. John IvIcKechnie 01' Owen Sound, who visited his brother, Angus, at Pricevillm an? other friends and relatives in this vicinity. It is over '20 years since Mr. McKechnie left here, and he notes many changes in the old town, which he has visited a few times since leaving. Mr. McKech-- nie is a successful market garden- er, living a couple of miles from the county capital. The patriotic garden party, un- der the auspices of the Red :Cross Society. held Tuesday night on the lawns of Messrs. Morlock, Camp- bell and Pickering. was a great success. The place was beautifully lighted and decorated and the attendance was large. The flags and bunting gave the place '1 \‘erv attractive appearance. and all seemed happy. The proceeds amounted to over $160. Mr. J. H. Burrows, of Daysland. Alberta, in renewing his subscrip- tion, refers to the recent temper- ance vote.
