Miss Mary Jam- Ferguson came home last week but not in time to see her mother in life and the blow must have been a hard one to endure and Especially to find her mother cold in oath. Mrs Thos lt Smart of Wa Wa City, accompanied by her infant boy are visiting at her mother's Mrs Don- ald Mekeehnie's of this place. Mrs Smart was well and favorably known in this part and after six years absence from our midst her sweet smile is welcomed by all. Again it is our sad duty to chronicle the sudden and unexpected death of one of our most "tref, neigh- bors, Mrs Dugald erguson, who passed away on Thursday, August . lst Her eath came very unexpect- ed to her family and also the neigh- borhood was cast in gloom on hearing the sad news Mrs Ferguson toot sick about three weeks ago and the doctor was called in but nothing seri- ous was thought of her sickness until within a few days of her death when she gradually grew worse and another doctor was called [who did all in his powtl, will her daughter Sarah who was in Toronto was warned of her mother's illness and came home as soon as she could to care for her loving mother. But in spite of all efforts put forth nothing could stay the hand of death which was fast approaching and the end came at 12.20 Thursday. Mrs Ferguson was married about twenty-six years ago and leaves six daughters and two sons, also her heartstricken husband who attended to her with greatest care during her illness, to mourn a loving mother and wife. It is a great consolation to those she has left behind that she has gone tea. better land and they should not mourn as others who have no hope. Mrs Ferguson was beloved by all who knew her, was quiet. kind and oblig- ing in ew-ry sphere of lite and this community will miss a life of useiuh ness and sociability. The funeral took place on Saturday to the gravel road cemetery and was very largely attended. llev Mr Matheson preached the funeral sermon and spoke very highly of the departed one. We ex- tend our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved husband and family in this the hour of their sudden and sad ber- uavoment. Mr and Mrs Ferguson, ot Mime, attended the luneml last week. Sandy McDonald left on the western excursion for Manitoba last Thursday. Mr Robert Smail is busy completing his road jobs this week. John MeRae is helping him. Mr George Wright, councillor.

In this “my the world: whirls on m its orbit of lore and every indivi.. dual unit, on it, lives foe some one. to drown the daily echoes of woe. One of these events, as stated above. which reeently happened, took place at Dor- noeh on July 30th at 4 n. In. at the residence of Mr. Donald lt McEntosh. when his ytmugest daughter >Mnry Uhristena (Teany) was united an the holy bonds of nutrimonv to the man of herchoice Me Charles Heft. carpenter and contractor. at, Sault Ste. Marie, the gateway city of Western Opt. The day was an meal one, old Sol garhing mcnhee Earth in n polurof re- splendent heaaty--a fitting tribute to prove that the "new home formed a- nions: the myriads on earth" was to he ahnppy one. Rev Mr Graham. Dots noch. tied the nuptial knot that. made two hem-Ls “heat as one" in the pres- ence of about 30 of the bride's nearest retat Ives. Egn Mr Harry Heft. brother of the groom ably assisted him through the trying ordeal, while Miss Susie. sisterof the bride performed the. some duty for the bride. 'The bride who was given away by her father was daintily dressed in ivory silk (:rere-de-chene trimmed with silk allover ace and applique. She carried in her hand a tempting boquet of white carnations tied with white silk ribbon. She looked lovely as she stepped be- neath an evercreen arch rich] decora- ted with the Union Jack and 'sroflb'f.1','i'l.". The bridesmaid was simply dressed in white Persian lawn trunmed with black yalenciennes, lace insertion. After the ceremony a. sumptuous repast was partaken off, after which the happy couple left amidst showers of rice fora week's visit among Owen Sound and Queen City friends. The bride‘s going away costume was of git-y venetian cloth, warn (we! a bodiceof white silk. with a hat and plume of ivory chiffon and loops of black ribbon velvet. The groom’s present to the bride. was a handsome marguerite bracelet and to the bridesmaid a fancy gold brooch. The presents were both numerous and useful. testifxmg to the popularity of the bride an groom among their many friends. Mr and Mrs Heft after spending two weeks among their old Dornoch riends left on Thurgda last per the steamer Athabasca for their new home at thutlt Ste Marie. The bride and gloom will be much missed in the many circles of their friends but their smile and m- fluence. will aid what is tgood and true in their new uphere of 1i "is.-AJom.
