Roll call was answered with individual methods of serving a favorite vegetable. Many new ideas were aired. Mrs Glass gave an excellent paper on "Home Economics‘, showing that this subâ€" ject was much more than just knowâ€" ing how to cook and sew. Mrs Meliâ€" raith gave an interesting report of the 26th convention in Thornbury. Mrs J. Lioyd read a poem, ‘A cheerâ€" ful m@n‘s sermon‘ which contained many wise gems.

The exact date was not planned by them, â€" in fact, we suppose they were not aware of each others intentions. These young men are Cecil Barber, Victor Blythe and Campbell Grant, Walkerton‘s weli known lawyer. The first named has to Ado with the land, the second with Ford cars, the third with peoâ€" ple. The three are all interesting studies, out of which a profitable livâ€" ing should be made. They appear to be entering matrimony‘s ranks at about the same age and while we haven‘t discussed it with any of them, would judge they learned their A.B.C‘s at about the same time. The thought of matrimonial ties holdâ€" ing them down to the same day, say 20 years ago, was the thought furâ€" thest from them and serves to show how little we know the future. Here‘s“ hoping they all see their 50th wedâ€" ding anniversary. | Varney Boys Enter Wedlock Same Day III at home of Mrs Banks Mrs N. J.

He was a leader in the movement to establish dand owner‘s claims for compensation under fedâ€" eral flood control projects. His widâ€" ow and one daughter Margaret surâ€" vive. His manner of death has given rise to much speculation and concern and at last word received, the final verdict had not been held. The first inquest brought in the following: "Investigation into the death of Archibald Smith, prominent cotton planter and educator of Natchez, Miss., whose charred remains was fourd in the ruins of his plantaâ€" ticn home, near Torras, will be re sumed on Friday by a Pointe Couâ€" pee parish coroner‘s jury." Later evidence po‘nts out that Mr Smith was murdered and his home burned to conceal the crime. at Torras, near New Roads.

Mr Rowland in a few seconds had his car stopped at side of highway and ran to pick up the victim, but was shocked to find him dead. The unfortunate pedestrian was & laborer of about 50 years of age, Will:am Burgess by name, residing at Rockwood.
