T. A. Rodger, assisted by Rev. Mr. Rin- toul of Wingham, when Marjorie May, only- daughter ol' Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Schell, became the bride of Dr. W. V. Johnston of Lucknow. The bride looked well in a gown of ivory brocaded crepe trimmed with mari- bou. Orange blossoms fastened her tulle veil, and she carried a shower bouquet of Ophelia roses and carn ations. Miss Victoria Scarrow, in turquoise blue georgette and Miss Lottie Johnston, sister of the groom, in peach taffeta, acted as brides maids. Little Alma Schell, the bride’s cousin, in pink taffeta, was a charm ing flower-girl. The groom was assis ted by Mr. C. Smith, Mr. K. Pittis and Mr. Ralph Smith were the ush ers. During the signing of the regis ter Miss Isabel Eadie sang. A recep tion was held after the ceremony at the home of the bride’s parents, 631 Broadview Avenue. Later Dr. and Mrs. Johnston left, amid showers of confetti, for an extended motor trip. They will reside in Lucknow. —0-0-0----- RIPLEY CAPTURES BOWLING TROPHY It looks as though the rink which will retain the Joynt Cup until next season will have to do some strenu ous battling for it. As stated last week a Lucknow rink won it from Clinton by the narrow margin of two points. This win was immediately followed by a challenge from Wing ham which resulted in a hard contest on the Lucknow green. The score was two against the visitors so the cup remained here. Not for long, however, as on Tuesday, Ripley sent over a rink of its very best bowling material and after a game which lasted well into the evening won out by a simple point, and went home proudly bearing the beautiful trophy. The contending rinks were made up as follows: Ripley, W. Jackson, W. Mare, C. Jackson, J. Archer skip. Lucknow, G H. Smith, J. McQuaig D. Archer, T.

FUNERAL OF THE LATE ANNIE PICKERING Body Recovered From Lake in Mich igan And Brought Here For Interment The funeral of the late Miss Annie Pickering who was drowned in a nnall lake near Ann Arbor, Mich, on August 10th took place from the amily residence, on the Boundary, west of Lucknow on Friday after noon of last week. Needless to say the funeral was largely attended while many large and beautiful flor al tribute showed the esteem in which the departed was held, and the deep sympathy felt for the sor rowing family. The services at the | house and grave were conducted by! the Rev. R. MacCallum of Lucknow, and the pall-bearers were: Messrs Haroid Treleaven, Alex McNay, Donald MacGregor, Donald Blue, Grant MacDiarmid, John Murdoch. Among the relatives and friends who attended were: Mrs. R. G. Doug las and daughter, Annie, of Ottawa, Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Bailey, Mr. Wray Bailey Jr., Mr. W. A. Alexan der, Miss Katherine and J. D. Camp bell, and Donald MacGregor all of Detroit; Malcoi m Beaton, Seaforth, Stanley Burns, Toronto and Harold Burns, of Listowel The death of Miss Annie Pickering is one of the saddest incidents that has occurred in the community for many years. The facts were as fol lows: Miss Pickering left Detroit on August 9th to spend the' week-end with friends at Half- Moon Lake, 28 miles west of Ann Arbor, Mich. On the 10th she, accompanied by friends went bathing in the lake. The party had come out of the water, but on setting out for the cottage, Miss Pickering said she would have one more swim and turning back she waded into the water. At about 12 feet from the shore, where she went in the bottom drops suddenly to a depth of about 40 feet, and here she lost her footing and went down. A young man who had remained with her .made brave efforts to rescue her, but -was unsuccessful. Other help was available almost immediately, but the body having sunk, the divers could not overcome the depth of 40 feet, and it evidently soon 'went down a smooth incline to a further depth of some 95 feet Thus all efforts to recover the body proved futile un til 37 days after the accident it came to the surface of its own accord. The body was well preserved and the bathing costume all intact. “Annie” as she was familiarly known, had just passed her 23rd year. She was of an uncommonly sweet and loving disposition, and the testimony of many friends together with the floral offerings bespeak the high regard in which she was held. She attended the Lucknow High School prior to taking a posi tion in Detroit and here made many friends. For over five years she was employed as stenographer with the Mutual Life Assurance Co. of De troit and there her ladylike manner and poise of character won for her the highest regard of co-worker and employer alike. Her memory, a never fading flower, lingers to keep ever fresh the ideal of youth in its highest form, loving, faithful and true. There remains to mourn her loss, the father and mother, four sisters: Mrs. W. A. Alexander, and Miss Ada of Detroit; Misses Dorothy and Katherine at home.—Com. -----o-o-o----- .

HUGH MacMILLAN The congregation of South Kin loss and ■ many interested neighbors gathered in the church on Friday evening, Sept. 19th to bid Godspeed to Mr. and Mrs. Hugh MacMillan, who will set out for Formosa on Tuesday Sept. 30th. The occasion was one of very deep and unique in terest as these are the first foreign missionaries to go out from this congregation. After the opening of the meeting by the pastor, Rev. K. A. Gollan, Mrs. Harkness of Ripley, expressed in sympathetic and encour aging terms the good wishes of Maitland Presbyterial W. M. S. for the future of -the young missionaries. Mr. J. C. Murdoch of Lucknow gave his own appreciation of the high quality of character possessed by Mr. and Mrs. MacMillan, both of whom he had known and held In af fectionate regard from their early years. Following these speeches an address was read by Miss Annie Hughes and a purse of $110 was presented by Mr. Andrew Lockhart, which had been contributed to by the congregation and many very warm friends throughout the community. Mrs. MacMillan expressed her thanks in a few gracious and earn est remarks Mr. MacMillan’s fare well message should be long remem bered by all, and be an inspiration and stimulus to the young men and women present especially, as he justified his choice of the foreign field for the sphere of service. Ad dresses were also given by Rev. Chas. Cumming, modrator of Pres bytery, and Dr. Harkness The lat ter’s words were reminiscent of his own departure for the foreign field 36 years ago. The address read to Mr. and Mrs. MacMillan 'was as follows:— South Kinloss, Sept. 19th, 1924 Dear Hugh and Donalda, We are glad to have you again with us tonight in this your own community and congregation for since childhood days you have both been associated with »ur activities. To our public schools, social life, Sunday school, choir and * other Church organizations you have given faithfully of your pleasant compan ionship and helpful leadership Your whole-hearted interest and enthus iasm in everything that was worth while made it easier for others to carry on the work after you left us. With pride we followed your success during the years you were preparing yourselves and developing your tal ents for the work you are now about to engage in. There too, you soon be came leaders, because of your abili ties, your many interests, your strength of moral character and your wide capacity for friendship. These you have increased by sharing with others, and those who have come within your influence have felt your social, intellectual and spiritual uplift. From time to time you have been able to revisit us but now as you are leaving for Formosa our separ ation will be longer. The thoughts ahd best wishes of us who remain at home will always be with you. To night we attempt to give them tan gible form by asking you to accept this purse. That God’s richest bless ing may be yours in health, happin ess and success is the prayer of your friends in this community. AFTER LONG ABSENCE Mr. D. C. MacMorran and daugh ter Mae, were in Paisley on Sunday where members of the MacMorran family and some of their sons and daughters enjoyed a family re-union. The gathering was occasioned by the visit to Ontario of Mr. A. W. MacMorran, of Seattle, Washington, who had been down to New York City to visit his son, Mr. Lloyd Mac Morran. The MacMorran’s early home was near Paisley and one of the boys ley, Bruce Co., and one of the boys still lives there on the family home stead, A. W. wen west in early life and has seen much of the Western States and Western Canada. He was back home a number times, but he last saw Bruce County 4-1 years ago For many years he was in the drug business in Spokane, Wash, having located there when there were only 600 people in the place, and remained to see it grow into an important city. A few years ago he moved to Seattle. From New York he was accompanied by his son Lloyd and after visiting a sister, Mrs. Ross, at Grimsby came on to Lucknow, Kincardine and Paisley; on the way back to Seattle ho will visit a brother at Souris.

Ferguson Miller “That we, citizens \of Lucknow assembled here, place ourselves on record as being desirous of continuing the Ontario Temper ance Act in this province and pledge ourselves to do all we can to maintain the present law.” The above is a resolution unani mously adopted at a meeting of loc al temperance advocates held in the Town Hall Lucknow on Tuesday evening. The meeting was called for the purpose of organization for work in .he interests of maintaining the pre sent Ontario Temperance Act, which ’s to be voted on, October 23rd. There was a large meeting sur- ounding townships as well as the zillage being well represented. A committee to have general harge of the local campaign was organized with the following-officers: •resident, Robert Johnston, Vice dresident, Mrs. T. Burns; Secretary, Sam Murchison, Treasurer, D. C. Taylor. To assist this committee a number of sub-committees were appointed to look after Finances, Publicity, Voters Lists, and Canvassing. The readiness with which all appointed accepted their duties and the general enthusiasm which prevailed gives assurance that in Lucknow and vic- nity nothing that can be done in the interests of maintaining the 0. T. A. will be left undone. A feature of the evening was an address by the Rev. J. Ferguson Miller, of Penticton, B. C. who has come east to tell the people of Ont ario how government “control”- and sale of liquors is working out in British Columbia. Mr. Miller is a former Bruce boy, having had his early home at Miller ton, near Kincardine. He has been in Penticton B. C. for 14 years and has seen the province under a prohibition ’aw such as we have in Ontario, and, since 1921, under government sale. He is an effective and interesting- speaker, dealing largely with facts and statements made by public men and prominent citizens of his pro vince -He declares that he makes no statement and quotes no figures which are not from government re ports or other unquestionable auth ority. According to Mr. Miller the pro vincial prohibition law was not being well enforced, resulting in a great deal of illegal traffic, and the pre sent plan of government sale was in troduced as a remedy, being sup ported by many temperance people. The change, however, had brought nothing but disappointment. The Moderation League of B. C. had as sured the electors that government, control would put a stop to boot legging. It would be profitable. It would reduce taxes. Figures and government reports nrove that it has done none of these. Even strong apponants of prohib ition admit that there is now far more bootlegging than ever before. Mr. Bird, M. P. from Albernie, and an anti-prohibitionist is quoted as saying: “Never before was bootleg ging so rampant as now.” Mr. Bud’s remedy is to open liquor stores everywhere, and to put the price down as low as possible so that there could be no profit in bootlegging. But his suggestion is not taken seri ously. The point is that whatever may be done to stop bootlegging, government control is not a remedy. In British Columbia people have ceased to talk about it, everybody knows they have it on every hand. In every respect the promise of the Moderation League have proved ab solutely false. As to lowering taxes, figures were quoted to show that since govern ment sale was introduced in 1921, local taxes had-doubled. Mr. Miller own taxes in Penticton have gone up just one hundred per cent in the past four years. So that is this as in every other respect the claims for goverment control proved absolutely false. A vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Miller for his splendid address, and to Mr. D, C. Taylor who as chariman of the meeting had also given a short address re-calling the condition of things here in the days before prohibition. Other meetings in the interests of the 0. T.
