ZION The ladies of the Horticultural Society scored successfully yesterâ€" day by the fulfilment of their plans to awaken interest in Durbam and Durhamites, by bringing to Durham, the chief apostle of Horticulture in the province, Dr Bennett of St Thomâ€" as. Dr. Bennett Addresses Horticultural Society At the managers‘ meeting followâ€" ing, Mr John McGirr was elected chairman, J. C. Adams, financial seeâ€" retary and Harold McKechnie, Misâ€" sion Secretary. The meeting, most. prosperous of recent years, was closed with beneâ€" diction by the pastor. Peter Ramage and C. H. Darling were reâ€"appointed auditors. The election of managers resulted as follows : Dr. D. B. Jamieson and Harold McKechnie, elected for three years :« Dr Grant and J. A. Rowland reelected for three years : Dr A. M. Bell elected for two years : W. J. Ritchie and Thos. Young elected for one year. A vote of appreciation to the retiring managers for faithful services was heartily carried. The report of the Managers also gave grourd for optimism, although there appears a small deficit of $22. There was an increase of $200 "on salary of pastor of $50 to theo rganâ€" ist, some extra insurance was put on, Manse debt reduced $200. All this done and only $22 behind was reason for gratulation. A chief feature of the year was the interest in Missions. The alloâ€" cation was placed at $1875.00 but this was exceeded by over $70, and all expenses off, a sum of no less than $1911.84 was sent to head quartâ€" erg, The activitiese of the Ladies are always strongly shown in the "Ladâ€" fes‘ Aid," and this year is no excep tion.

The Sunday School Report showed an enrolment of 143 pupils and 24 teachers, with a record of rewards and contributions which bespeaks acâ€" tivity of Supt. Snell and staff, as well as the youngsters. Mr Snell in movâ€" ing the adoption of this report, also wished to thank the Ladies Aid Soâ€" clety for their liberality in providing the Sunday School with kindergartâ€" en and other regular chairs. ‘ The Annual Statements were dis tributed the day previous, and t shorten business most of the report were adopted as printed.

The bride, who was | given in marriage by her father, 'was becomingly gowned in a white | georgetie with pearl trimmings. Her ;tullo veil was arranged in cap styl(-,\ and ornamented with orange blos | soms. She carried a shower boquet | of Ophelia roses, lillies of ‘the valâ€" \ley ard sweet peas and wore the ]groom’s gift, a platinum bar pin with | diamond setting. _ Miss Myrtle Mcâ€" Gee, bridesmaid, wore a becoming ;frock of turquoise georgette, with black faille and maline poke hat, and| carried Premier roses. The groom was attended by his brother, Mr Josâ€" eph Edwards of Markdale, â€" while Messrs Everett Campbell and Ivan Edwards acted as ushers. Mrs J Arnold Raymond presided at the orgâ€" an and during the signing of the regâ€" ister, Mr Neil Campbell sang. A reâ€" ception was held at the home of the bride‘s parents, West Marion St., which was tastefully decorated with roses and sweet peas. Mr and Mrs. Campbell received the bridal party. Mrs Campbell wore a cocoa georâ€" gette dress with black hat and corâ€" sage boquet of sweet peas.

The "after dinner" speech of Dr Bennett was an interesting conversational talk on the advantagâ€" es, personal and to community, of 'mcouraxing floriculture. He cited examples where, in addition to the finer enobling influence of the work, a financial gain in the enhanced valâ€" ue of property had taken place. In the Theatre later (nearly filled) he broadened out his remarks with an abundance of finely colored views of beautiful flowers, especially gladâ€" iola and roses ; also views of beauty spots in St. Thomas, "The city of Flowers," made so by persistent efâ€" forts to remove offensive surroundâ€" ings, or if not removable to cover up with flower fences, boulevards, &c., presenting now beauty spots that are "the admired of all admirers." | _ He is filled with his subject and : his presence and deliverances here ’cannot fail to strengthen the loca! lsoclety, which in the past, has met iw“h too much indifference in their ‘aesthetic work. | But to return to the ladies. Their | plan had a dual purpose : to bring \ men together at a banquet, with Dr. | Bennett to address and awaken in {lhls too dormant section of society, ‘an interest in Horticulture ; the othâ€" !er purpose was a public address in | the Theatre iNustrated with views of plants and flowers. and of beauty +spots in St. Thomas and elsewhere, | that had been transformed by flower lovers.
