Again the wedding bells peel forth
in our midst and one of our fairest
daughters, in the person of Miss Mary
Birk, 1s made the wife of Mr. Adam
Mansz, of Tavistock. The happy event
occurred on Thursday last in the pres-
ence of a number of near friends and
relatives, The nuptial knot was tied
in the slickest and safest manner pos-
sible by Rev. Eby. Misa Laving Birk
acted as bridesmaid, while- the groom
was ably supported by E. M. Broken -
shire. The bride was elegantly attired
in cream cassimere, while this groom
wore the customary black suit and a
beaming smile. After the ceremony
was over all sat down to a sumptuous
repast at which ample justice was ful
ly done. Mr. Mansz left for his home
near Tavistock on Monday but Mrs.
Maiasz stays a few days longer. May
their joys in life be many and their
sorrows few. -The sleet of Sunday
night made things very slippy and
travelling on foot was a very difficult
matter on Monday. -At the close of
the Forester's meeting on Saturday
evening Mr. Robert Turnbull gave an
oyster supper to his Forester brethren
and friends in this locality, in boner of
the position he has held in the council
for many years. After all had partak-
en freely of the oysters and fully en-
joyed themselves in this respect. Dr.
McLaughlin was called to the chair
and after giving ashort address called
on different members present for speech-
es or songspas they saw fit to € •ve. All
spoke of Mr. Turnbull in a few well-
chosen words, as being a than true to
his own convictions and longed to see
Mr. Tui'nbull•raise}i ta higher honors
and trust. Music' was furnished by
Messrs. Lindenfield and Snider: Songs
were rendered by Messrs. Fritz, Snider
and Lindenfield in a very pleasing
manner. At the close the National
anthem was sung with heart and will
and all wont home wishing Mr. Turn-
bull every success in his undertakings.
Mitchell: Mr. Conatithee ' Seelesch,
who was an old settler of Fullerton, but
retired fromfarming and moved into
Mitchell some four years ago, died at
his home in the North Wiird on Sunday

my withdf'awal card from the organiz-
ation, therefore, knows that 1 was not
a member of the order when Iaccepted
a party convention. Now, Mr. Brown
censures me for ignoring the Patron
platform.. I say the statement is false.
I prize the Patron platform as highly
as ever I did, and while it may not be
perfect, it will be no disgrace for any
person to uphold it. But let us review
the action of Mr. Brown. No later than.
the last Dominion election, when a Pat-
ron candidate was in the field, Mr.
Brown was at that time a full fledged.
Patron, but when election day came he
went and voted for the party candi-
date. Would you call that ignoring
the Patron platform? Some people
would call that tumbling off the plat-
form, body and soul, Now, Mr. Brown
claims that he did not know that there
was a Patron candidate in the field at
that election.. 1 am surprised at it. 1
can produce a man, a brother Patron
at that time, who was sitting in lodge
with Mr. Brown, who will say that Mr.
Brown did know that 4Patron candi-
date was in the field. Bat Mr Brown
will cling fast to the Patron platform
and display himself as a white -winged
Actionangel-at least until the next Action
day arrives.
I hear it rumored that I have been
accused of treating the Patrons mean
and shabby, and that I was trying
to. pull "she wool over their eyes, I
claim that is not the case. I prize the,
Patron organization in its purity as
highly as ever, and believe to the pres-
ent time that it would bring good fruits
where only Patronise(' left alone I
took my withdrawal card from the or-
ganization, not for the purpose of dis-
posing the order, but for reasons that I
claim has fully justified me in "doing
so; I haye left the order in a respect-
able way and have never said a word
against the organization since my with-
drawel; I have assisted the organiza-
tion whenver I eould," and intend do-
ing so in the future. but if I am as bad
and unprincipled a man, as I am told
that some of its members were trying
to snake me, then they should be thank-
ful to God that I do not any longer be-
long to the order.
I am informed that resolutions were
also passed to record their votes against
me at the next Dominlbn election, no
matter what candidates were in or out
of the field. Gentlemen, that is a mat-
ter resting entirely with yourselves, It
is a free country and your votes are
your own; it is your duty to record
them in the interest of yourselves; you
have the right to record them as you
see fit and I haye no r' -�" to dictate
to you
I thank you, M.

SIR, -You will kindly oblige me by
allowing me space in your yaluable

per"for the following remarks: I notice
in your last week's issue that the fol-
lowing resolution has been passed at
the Patron Township meeting at Cred-
iton, viz: •'Moved by Isaac Bean, and
seconded by Albert Brown, that we, as
a township association, censure Mr.
Valentine Ratz for the steps that he has
taken, after joining the Patron order,
to ignore the Patron platform and be-
come a party candidate." Iti view of
the above resoultion, I may say that
it is not a pleasure to me to he com-
pelled to resort to journalistic centro-
versy, but when a man is impeached
upon innocently, it is time for him to'
defend himself from the accusation. In
reference to the above resolution, I say
it is false, and not an honarable act for
such men as Mr. Bean and Mr. Brown
o couple their names with it. I will
e give the true statement of the
