Shier, of St. Marys, on Satur­ day last celebrated the 65th wedding anniversary. Just 65 St. Valentine Days ago a young Blanshard township man and the lady of his choice vowed to be true to one another for life, when they were married by Rev George Jackson, of Kirkton Methodist Church. The young couple were Samuel A. Shiei', son of Adam .Shier and Char­ lotte Switzer, and Elizabeth Beatty daughter of Robert Beat­ ty and Susan Cherry, all early pioneers of Blanshard. The wed­ ding was held in the home of the bride’s parents when about 70 guests were present, of whom very few survive until today. The ceremony was fol­ lowed by a honeymoon in Tor­ onto. After their marriage in 1833 they lived on their own farm on lot 4, con. 4, Blanshard which was their home for 47 years. At <>one time Mr. -Shier belonged to the Loyal Orange Lodge and the Independent Or­ der of Foresters. His chief in­ terests outside the home how­ ever were in the church in which he held numerous offices. He served for 12 years as trus­ tee of the school where he and Mrs. Shier had been pupils to­ gether. On their retirement 18 years ago they moved to St. Marys. They have four children, Dr. R. V. B. Shier, Toronto; Stuart, on the homestead; Susie, Mrs. Hor­ ton Bryne, St. Catharines; Glad­ ys, who lives with her parents. For the past couple of years, Mrs. Shier has been an invalid and most of her time is spent in keeping up with the latest local and world happenings. Mr. Shiei' is in excellent health and enjoys getting out among folks in his daily walks down town.

Fear is the very antithesis of peace of mind, and peace of mind is just about our most precious possession. One way to obtain and retain this peace of mind is to know that in the event of the loss of health our incomes are protected. Ernest C. Harvey Insurance Agency. To me Electors of Huron I would like to express my thanks to all those who supported me at the polls on Monday and to the loyal workers who made victory possible. Tom Pryde SI—_... '.............. , iiii.i* , .....—..-—._—_----—-R To the Electors of Huron I wish to express my sincere appreciation to all who so faithfully supported me at the polls on Monday. I also wish to congratulate my' opponent, Thomas Pryde, on his victory, and now that the election is over. I would, ask for him your whole-hearted support for the good of Huron Riding. Benson W. Tuckey —————---——--------—---------——-----— On behalf of the Exeter Ice Hockey Team I should like to thank all of those who gave so readily towards the cost of an insurance policy to cover the team during play this season. When the policy was applied for, however, the company had withdrawn it, the only one re­ maining being too costly a pro­ position for so short a time. After discussing the idea of starting a fund ourselves with the money, so far collected ($129.00 to date), the opinions of several outstanding persons in the town were sought. In consequence, the money has been deposited into the Bank of Montreal and a Trust Fund formed which, with additional help from the boys themselves and further donations, may de­ velop into something really worthwhile in assisting should any of the team meet with a mishap. MRS. F. J. MILNER To Citizens of Exeter: As the minister of the Pente­ costal church in Exeter we wish to thank one and all for your kind offers of assistance and expressions of sympathy at our great loss in the burning down of our new church on Sunday morning. Nothing too mupli could be said in appreciation of the fine way that our fire bri­ gade fought the fire and pro­ tected the near by buildings. Many thanks, boys. The Lord bless you all. We wish to thank the Rev. H. Mahoney for the offer of the use of his church; Mr. Thomas Pryde and Mr. Strang for the use of Caven church for our service on Sun­ day night and .Mr, Middleton, of the Board of Education, for their sanction given In the use of the veteran’s clubhouse if necessary, to the veterans a very special thanks for the use of the Opera House to con- < finue our Revival services in this week under Jack West, that fine young Canadian Evangelist who is also a war veteran. Come to .the services so that we can thank you all personally We do not forget boys we will keep faith to those we fought with in the first .war and to you all of the last one.
