ROBT, KNOWLES, OR GRANTON | Fifty years ago last Monday, or, in other words on November 25, j 1885, Robert Knowles and Anne Eliza Morfitt, of Blanshard, were united in marriage. The ceremony was performed at the home of the bride’s parents, the. late Mr. and Mrs. William Morfitt by Rev. Mr. Stevenson of Granton. Mr. and Mrs. Knowles have lived happily through the intervening yeans. They have been blessed by a family of four sons and three daughters, today all alive and well. This highly esteem­ ed couple had looked’ forward to holding a Goldep Wedding anniver­ sary celebration but owing to the present ill-health of Mrs. Knowles it was deemed inadvisable to do so. Both the bride and groom of fifty years ago have been practically life­ long residents of Blaushard, though the latter was born in London Twp. on August 26, 1857, Mrs. Knowles being eight years his junior. Their wedded lie up to a few months ago when they removed to Granton, has been spent on the 10th Con. Blan- shard. Mr. Knowles is perhaps Blanshard’s oldest thresher. He spent thirty* seven seasons threshing, retiring from that line of work some time ago. He has been honored by his fellow members of various organiza­ tions. For forty-nine years he has been a member of Wild-ey Lodge, I. O. O. F., Granton. He is a Past Grand of the Lodge, has been a dele­ gate to Grand Lodge, and is at pres­ ent serving as Chaplain. He has held the various offices in the Can­ adian Order of Forresters, has at­ tended High Court and .has belong­ ed for thirty-.three years. For nine years he served as a director of the Blanshard Mutual Fire Insurance Co Both Mr. and Mrs. Knowles has been life-long members of Granton Unit­ ed, formerly Methodist, Church. The members of their family are: Alonzo, Clifton and Ernest, of St, Marys; Mrs. [Frederick (Verda) Tomlinson, of London; Robert Em­ erson, of London; Mrs, Nelson (Ida) Knox, Ccn. 8, Blanshard; and Mrs. (Merle) Elston, Base Line, Blan­ chard. This estimable couple have many friends through the district and en­ joy the high respect and esteem of all.—st.

A HOME AT CHRISTMASTIDE A store at Christmas time is so Ecstatically gay With color, perfume, voices, that It takes your beath away; It’s like a lanterned fairyland, New-blossomed in the street. A store at Christmastime is gay— But, oh! a heme is sweet! A church at Christmastime is so Divinely (bright and fair, With candles on the altar and A carol in the air, And sunshine on the church steps where The friendly people meet, A church at Christmas is fair— But, oh! a home is sweet! I think God smiles at Christmas­ time Indulgently 'upon A store; I think His 'Spirit fills JA church at Christmas dawn; But when I-Ie looks into a home All snug and warm and neat (And Mary found in Bethlehem No threshold for her feet).

An old farmer was moodily re­ garding the ravages of the flood. “Hiram,” yelled a neighbor, ‘your pigs were all washed down the creek.” “How about Flaherty’s pigs?” asked the farmer. “They’re gone, too.” “And Larsen’s?” “Yes.” “Humph,” ejaculated the farmer, cheering up. “Tain’t so bad as I thought.” Toronto Markets MRS. MORKIN BURIED After two weeks illness, Mrs. Catherine Morkin passed away at her home cn the .8th concession of Biddulph, on (Friday. Deceased, who was 89 years of age, was born and lived all her life on the farm where she died. Her maiden name was Ryan. 'Her .husband, Timothy Mor­ kin, died about 3 5 years ago. She is .survived by three sons, James and John., of Biddulph and Thomas, of London, also a sister, Mrs. Johanna Ryan, of London. The funeral took place on Monday from .St. Patrick’s Church.

A GOOD RECORD We met the warden of Perth County the other day. He told us that Perth county has not one cent-<of county indebtedness. The Township of Fullarton, of which the warden is reeve, is in the same happy financial position. “How do you manage ” we asked. “Every spring we go .over the county and estimate what we’ll .require. We then resoultely keep within that estimate. We keep out .of debt by not running into debt.” #**♦***» LAMBS AND SHEEP ADVANCE 50 CENTS Hogs Jump 25c. to 4Oc. on Toronto Market iTctronto Live Stock Receipts Cattle ................................ 4,630 Calves ................................ 1,030 HC'gs ..................................... 8 60 Sheep and -Lambs ............ 1,200 Price changes dotted all classes of the Toronto live stock market Mon­ day, gains predominating.

A RIGHT MOVE WHAT SANTA HEARD 'Tis said Old Santa Claus one time Told thi.- joke on himself in rhyme One Christmas in the early din That ever leads the morning in, I heard the happy children shout In rapture as the toys turned out Of bulging little socks and shoes A jcy at which I could but choose To listen enviously, because I’m just “Old Santa Claus.” But ere my rising sigh had .got To its first quaver at the thought, It broke in laughter, as I heard A little voice chirp like a bird— “Old Santa’s mighty good, I know And awful rich, and he can go Down ever’ chimfoly anywhere In all the world! But I don’t care, I wouldn’t trade with him, and be Old Santa Claus, and him foe me Fer all his toys and things, and I Know why, and bet you he knows why!— They wuz no Santa Claus when he Wuz ist a little boy like me!” —.James Whitcomb Riley REPORT S.

' Congratulations are in order to Acting Premier Dixon for his quietly putting on his blacks and going to Government House to meet Lord Tweedsmuir, the representative of King George. The fact, plain as a pikestaff to all with eyes in their heads, is that too much fuss has been made over Government House and its occupants and its various functions. Politics of th© peanut variety have got into matters where they are a nuisance. Almost anyone can make th© first pag© fo,y throwing a rock at the King. Well done, provin­ cial government! There’s nothing like common sense! ****** ** LOOKING WRONG “Keep your eye on the open road,” th© man we bought our first biqycle from told us. What a pity a great many folks did not act on this principal during th© last few years! Instead; these, people saw nothing but bleakness and rujn. “If you watch for th© stones and ruts,” our advisen told us, “you are sure to hit them.” We found out that he was right. In th© sam© way a whole lot of our friends are now in the kennel because they kept their eye on the bow-wows. Just so. iLet us not forget that the world is a mighty fine place. On every farm there is no end of prosperity for the farmer who will farm it out. There is no end of trade for ©very business man if he will but mercahndise. There are lots of dollars for the man who will make it known that he -has a remunerative equivalent therefore. That is assure as the/rising of the sun tomorrow morn­ ing. Everlbody pats the head of the deg that cheerily wags his tail and smiles his canine gladness. But our bicycle salesman did not stop there. He added, “Don’t forget to pedal.” Joint oil was required as well as right looking. We are facing trying times once more. But the advice so val­ uable five years ago is still worth cuddinig on. “Be sure you are right,” .Sir James Whitney used^to tell liis. friends, “then go ahead.” Any of' us can name a number -of folk in every walk of life w-ho have done well during the last five years. During the next decade they will do still better. They will not change their principles one whit. They will keep an eye on the good' road and will pedal with might and main.

OUTLOOK Devoid of hope, the world is black And fearful fe the path we tread, With deep depression all around And doubt’s dark chaos overhead— No sun to glimmer thro’ the gl-o-om. No stars to aid the travellers, Till Fa.ith, the harbinger <of H-ope, Makes life the better, happier. For just as thick nocturnal mists-, Are banished by the dawn of day, So dark, despairing, doubts disperse When Faith resumes its rightful sway. And to th© fainting soul imparts Th© power to visualize the will Till all the haunting fear departs, And all the troubled thoughts are still. “Each cloud a silver lining has” God grant us the ability, To look beyond its gloom, and see Life’s boundless possiblity. “Tam-a Raca” If Sickly and Run Down Build Up Your Health What’ is required for a run down condition of health is a tonic, one containing iron preferred, to build up the shattered system and restore it to full strength.
