HANNA & Co. 1111:171EVALE The most successful event in the his- tory of the Bluevale Literary Society and one of the most remarkable enter- tainments in the history of this neigh- borhood was the program, contest be- tween the married and single members on Wednesday, Mar. 25, which brought the season of 1914 ton close. When the audience reluctantly leftfor their homes sometime after midnight on Thursday morning any lingering doubts thetas may have been that a literary society is worth while in a village like Bluevale were dispelled forever. The weather was so threatening and the roads sobad that the size of the audience which packed the Foresters' Hall was in it- self remarkable. Owing to a sudden call to Ottawa, Mayor Irwin of Wing - ham was unabl3 to be present and act as judge and this was a misfortune to Mayor Irwin as well as the audience who would have had the confidence .of everyoneso the people themselves were left to decide on the merits of the con- testants. Comparison was made almost impossible, how ever, as the married members took nearly double their alot- ted time of one hour, but the program was so enjoyable that no one wculd have wished to see it curtailed. The married and single members of the 'audience occupied opposite sides or the hall and Principal Posliff acted as chair -1 man in a very careful and impartial manner. The program itself contained as many interesting features that •it would be unfair to make mention of only special !nu nbers. After the National Anthem with which the meeting was opened, the single members filled the first half hour, beginning with a piano duet "The Chariot Race" by Cora Messer and Mary King. Others numbers were, a reading, "The Maitland River" by Eva Duff; a solo on the Jew's harp by Ed- gar McMichael which was perhaps the most popular nember of the whole eve- ning: a mixed quartette, "In the Gloam- ing,', by Agnes Aitchison, Cora Messer Wm. Speirs and Howard Haney; a piano solo, "Lily of the Valley Mazveka" by Lilian McCall: a vocal chorus, "The Bluevale Literary,' ac- companied by boys' whistling chorus; recitation "White waters (Chas. G. D. Roberts) by Polly Duff; "The Wander- ing Violinist" a musical novelty play- ed by Messrs Speirs and Kearney with lights out. The second half-hour was presented by the married members opening with a splendid chorus, "My Old Kentucky Home". The married people contri- buted a number of fine addresses. Rev. Crawford Tate spoke on "Ireland and Home Rule", Rev. J. E. Cook gave a very appropriate and pleasing talk cn "Music" and A. MacEwen in "An In- cident at Waterloo" gave a word pic- ture of the battle which thrilled the audience by its vividness and nobility of language. On this section of the pro- gram there were also a mouth organ instrumental by W. Haney and J. Stew- art, a violin selection by R. Black and R. N. Duff, and a male quartette, "Tenting to -night on the old camp ground" by Messrs. Haney and Stewart, C. Higgins and J. W. King, while P. D. King excelled himself in his solo, "When I was a student at Cadiz," with vocal accompaniment by Mrs. MeDonald. The single members in their second part offered as their leading feature the graceful and coniplicated Maypole drill presented by eight of the prettiest girls in Huron county. Cora Messer gave an amusing reading, "David Copperfield and the Waiter", there was a solo, "Always take a girl named Daisy" by Agnes Aitchison and a mixed chorus sang "I'm going back to Dixie," one or the best numbers of the evening. The final quarter of the program was given by the married members and opened with a rousing selection by the orchestra consisting of Messrs. Black and Duff, violins, Messrs. Haney and Stewart, mouth organs, and Mrs. M. Watson, autoharp. R. N. Duff gave an address on "Education." L. Jewett sang "Jest a Wearsin' fos You" (Carrie Jacobs Bond.) There was a mixed quartette, "The old Home Far Away," by Mr. and Mrs. J. W. King, Mrs. Diamond, Mrs. Watson and Mrs. Mc- Call; a reading "Judge Morris' Reason," by R Shaw. Mrs. Cook played a piano solo "The Old Folks at Home with Variations" and Mrs. McCall and Mrs. Higgins gave a piano duet, "Return of the Heroes." The recitation by Mrs. Harry Diamond, "Over the Hills to the Poorhouse" which was given in costume delighted her hearers and the program reached its climax in the Scotch quar- tette, "Bonnie Leezie Lindsay," by R. Black, A. 12acEwen, J. W. and P. D. King with obligate on the bones by R. N. Duff. At the eonclusion of the contest the closing number of the Literary Digest was read and the meeting came to an end with "Auld Lang Syne" and cheers for the married people, the single people and the Bluevale Literary So- ciety. Between forty and fifty mem- bers took part hi the evening's enter- tainment. The only regret felt by the audienee was that refreshments had not boon provided by the Executive as many were growing weak for leek of nourishment.

His wife, 2 daught- ers and 4 sons are left to mourn the loss of a kind and loving husband and father, also his mother, 3 sisters (Mrs. McKee, Toronto; Mrs. David Campbell, and Mrs. Harry Grainger, of Grey) and 2 brothers, (Henry, lst con. Grey, and Jim, of Melfort, Sask.) He lived in Grey until 4 years ago when they mov- ed West to Ochre River, Manitoba. Last January he went to Rochester, Minnesota, where he underwent an operation for tumor on the brain but the Drs. gave him no relief. He went back to Ochre River, rented his farm and sold his stock and he and his family started for home reaching here March 10th. For two days he seemed to gain strength and enjoyed the company of his friends and neighbors and then he failed rapidly till the end came just a week after his arrival home. On Wednesday of last week a very happy event took place at "Shady Lane Farm," the home of Lorenzo and Mrs. Frain. The occasion was the wedding of their beautiful and popular daughter, Miss Margaret Loreno, to Reuben Mc- Innis, a successful young farmer from Winthurst, Sask. To the strains of the Wedding March played by Miss Ida Frain, sister of the bride, the young couple took their places hi the parlor, at 11 o'clock. The bride looked very charming in a dress of white silk drap- ed with shadow lace. She carried in her hand a boquet of pink and white carnations and lily of the valley. The groom's gift to the bride was a pendant necklace of peridot and pearls; to the organist, a sunburst of amethyst and pearls and to Miss Winona, the little sister of the bride, a silver hand bag. Rev. 1. A. McKelvey, of Ethel, per- formed the eereriony. After the sign- ing of the register all repaired to the dining room where a most excellent wedding dinner was enjoyed by all pre- sent. Only the immediate friends of the bridal party were present. The bride Was one of Grey's most estimable young ladies, being a very active and energetre worker in Roe's Methodist Church where she has served most effic- iently in the League, ehoir and Sunday School. The groom is a prosperous young farmer in the West, who former- ly resided on Concession 2, Grey.

Ms Toronto, March 30 —As was expected, there was a heavy run of cattle at the Union Stock Yards to -day, and as also expected in such an event, prices were nct so firm as they might have been had there been a lighter run. Choice Easter cattle were not too plentiful, and anything in this class was good and . firm, a load of extra choice quality de - horned, well -finished cattle topping the market at $8.50. These came in from Chatham and were bought by W. J. Neely. A bunch of eight choice cows brought $7. A few choice lots of heif- , ers sold around $7.80 to $8.10. For the rest there were too many long -horned steers. rough and only half - finished, which proved to be only a drag on the market, and were sold in many cases at a little off last week's priees. Hogs were quoted 10e. easily.
