But instead of going to Toronto, several of these cars came north from Toronto and shared in the festivities on the occasion of the 50th wedding anniversary of Mr and Mrs Joseph Firth. To be exact, Mr. and Mrs Firth were wed in â€" January last, but at that time no thought of the unsuitableness of the date for a golden wedding . celebration entered the mind of either groom ow bride. So the event to celebrate, was put forâ€" ward to 2ith May as a more propiâ€" tious day for the gathering of the clans. And they did meet ! No less than 140 were present to personally congratulate the 50 year bride and groom on the success they had made of their married life.

His remembrance of the fatherly inâ€" terest in them taken by their uncle, when bereft of their parental head in youth, is of the warmest and kindest nature. A picnic supper to have been held on the lawn, was served inside, due to the cool atmosphere. The house was decorated with masses of yellow tulips and fernery and as a "special" at close of supper a delectable samâ€" ple of a 4â€"story wedding cake was served the gathering.

That her pepularity throughâ€" out the riding is not subsiding . was evidenced by the crowded hall, (perâ€" haps cneâ€"third of the audience being ladies) on a public holiday and a fine day f:r farm work: also by the‘ fact that she was accorded and acâ€"‘ cepted a unanimous nomination, .nO‘ other name being brought forward . | President R. D. Carruthers, Markâ€" dale, was in the chair while also on the platform were Sec‘y H. C. Mcâ€", Kechnie and representatives of the‘ varicus municipalities. These includâ€"; ed four township reeves : Wardenl Lembke cf Sullivan: D. J. McDonald of Bentinck : W. H. Hunter, Egreâ€" mont and Wm Jack, Proton. Others were R.L. Aitchison, riding director of Sullivan: Don. Melivride of Norâ€"| manby: Chas Boland, Artemesia : Geo | Lawscen, Osprey : Wm McKay, Holâ€" land: Robt. Lawson, Bentinck and Geo. Campbell, Glenelg. The latter three wd not speak but each of the others took a minute or two, urging all to organize and get the vote out, to be prepared for the stiffest opposiâ€" tion yet encountered. "When so many â€" farmers turn out in seeding time as are here today," Mr Hunter remarked, "there should be no doubt of victory." Mr Aitchison and Mr. Mcllvride both urged all to vote and with a united effort believed the last majority could be further increased. Sec‘y Harolé C. McKechnie told of lists used being prepared by regis trars and urged all to make certain their names were . not omitted from the lists. Miss Macphail on commencing her address received a hearty reception and delivered one of the best speechâ€" es of her career, holding the undividâ€" ed attention of her audience for one and a half hours, while she discussed the various issues of the day.

Since the burial of William Reay,! of Bentinck, on Sunday, May 18th, the home of his sister, Mrs Jos. Edl monds has been perturbed over events which have since happened and to| them significant of some warning ori symbol. Previous to the late Mr.: Reay being removed to his bural casâ€" ket, a lairtge sheet covered him. Orig-l inally the sheet was from flour bags,| washed and bleached several times, ;und hanging on a clothes line in the | rainfor 24 hours at a stretch. On the _day following Mr Reay‘s funeral, the bedclothing was washed and on Tuesâ€" day ironed. As the sheet in question was being smoothed out, an image appeared as coming out of the goods in one corner.. It took the cutline of a man erect, carrying a staff. . The | clfect was startling and Mrs Edmonds | called Ler_sister, Mrs. Torry to | the scene who also wondered at the . strange figure on the sheet. To the ladies the outline was that of Christ, _ with staff in hand. Other friends had neighbors soon came at the call and | since many more, but the figure still | remains. As this strange phenomâ€" enon cn the sheet received wider publicity the house has had no privâ€" Strange Apparition in Benâ€" tinck attracts Crowds couldn‘t see that they were as harmâ€" ful as reputed to the agricaltural popâ€" ulatiocn, as our butter brought a highâ€" er price now than before; we got only $4,000,000 woith of goods trom Australia while selling them $20,000, 000cf our products. While we importâ€" ed 30,000,000 eggs free, this was onâ€" ly 1 in each 100 produced, so it was incensequential. She Lad voted against budget beâ€" cause of increased duties, in some cases 60 per cent in steel goods and iron: she liked British preference but it didn‘t go far enough. Britain buys 100 million dollars worth yearly from us more than we do from her and we should swing all trade we can to Mcther Country. Her budget speech at Ottawa appears elsewhere in this issue. The figure of a man on a sheet stirs up amazement to the Reay family, and much conjecturing follows. acy and each day many curious and interested are to be seen at the Eumond home. The family offer no exâ€" planation as to this strange happenâ€" ing, but feel that in some manner it has to do wth the recent death in the family. A serious moter accdent took place last Thursday evening, north of Durâ€" ham. in the hollow on highway just scuth of Thos. Turnbull‘s home, when Cam. McLachlan, driving his coupe, crashed into a buggy occupied by Wm Leggette of Rocky Saugeen, wrecking the vehicle and _ throwing Leggette out on the road. Accompanying Campbell were Doug Ewen and Ab. Noble. They were reâ€" turning to Durham and Cam. had dimmed his lights for two passing cars. As he switched them on, they ncticed Leggette immedately in front of them, leading a horse, also going towards town. Cam. quickly swerved to his left, missed the horse, but was too close to clear the buggy and the collision ensued, which pitched Mr. Leggette clear and demolished his conveyance. Neither horse was injum ed but Loegette was rendered unconâ€"‘ scious and serfously hurt. They at‘ once summoned Dr. D. B. Jamieson, who had him removed to the hospiâ€", tal, and Constable Scott to view the scene of the crash. 4 We learn the victim was carrying a lantern, but none of the car occuâ€" pants observed any light ahead of them. Mr Leggette is recovering nicâ€" ely from his injuries and fortunately Cam. had his car insured and the Co. will meet all costs incurred by the unfortunate accident.

"To be prompted to do a kind action, takes away much of the beauty of the action," said the speaker : â€" "Beauty must come from within; it cannot be put on as & garment."
