Dr. Medd, of Hensall, lectured on that ever -recurring and always interesting subject, "Wooing and Wedding." The topic was dealt with in such a manner as to make the listening to the lecture only second in interest to the partici- pating,as a party of the first or second part, in those interesting affairs.

A meeting of the directors of the South Huron Farmers' Institute was held on Wednesday, Dec. 2, at Hensall. The principal business of the meeting. was to arrange for the winter Institute meetings. The regular meetings will be held at Exeter and Brucefield on Friday and Saturday, January 15th and 16th, respectively. There will be an afternoon and also an evening meeting at each place. In addition to the regular speakers sent out by the department, Messrs. Robert McMordie and R. 13. McLean, Kippen, will take subjects at the Exeter meetings, and Mr. Robert Gardiner, of Farquhar,and S. M. Sanders, of Exeter, at the Bruce- -field effort An meetings. A � is also be made to get a lady speaker for all the meetings. Supplementary meetings will he held in February at Farquhar, Crediton, Grand Bend, Hen sail, Varna and Seaforth. The speakers and sub- jects for these meetings ngs were also se- lected, but itis too early ;to announce them yet. The Institute is in a very. satisfactory condition, but considering the benefits available, there should be. a much larger membership. The mem- bership fee is only 25 cents, and any one of the many reports sent to all members is alone worthdouble this amount to any farmer who takes an interest in his calling. The great won- der is that the membership of these in- stitutes is not at least ten times larger than it What about that Dinner Set for Xmas.
