Pretty Double Wedding
On December 25 at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. John Macgregor, Ridgetown,
were sole:nnieed the marriage of their
daughters, Estella Margaret to George
S. Prebble of Lugaska, Sask.,son of
the late Reo and Mrs Prebble,and
Mabelle Edna to Harry Clifford Pugh
B. A. of Hamilton. son of Mr. and
Mrs. Jos. Pugh of Wingliam. Ont.
The ceremonies were performed by
Rev. Dr. Manro,M.A. of London, A.
former ;pastor of the brides' family.
The little Misses Marjorie Macgregor
of Aylmer and Wilma Macgregor of,
Wheatley, neices of the brides, acted
as ring bearers. Miss Edna MacDonald
of Windsor played the wedding march
and during the signing of the register,
Mrs.J. E. MacGregor sang "Beloved it is
Morn." A dainty wedding breakfast was
served by several girl friends of the
brides. Amid a host of good wishes.
Mr. and Mrs. Pre',hle and Mr. and
Mrs.Pugh left on the M. C. R. train
for points east where they will spend
some time before taking up their
residence in Lngaska and Hamilton.
The editor of the TIMES did not re-
sign from the 1914 Council because he
was afraid to "faee the council" as
stated in last week's Advance. We
found we could be of no further service
in that particular council and took the
only course open. Many ratepayers
were of the opinion that we took the
proper course under the conditions as
they existed. The editor of this paper
is not afraid to "face the music" and
has and will continue to do his duty as
a good citizen, whether it be as a
member of the council or as a private
citizen.
"The editor of the TrMES is, we
understand. aspiring for the Mayor -
silty this year. therefore we certain-
ly were pretty mean to pin boquets
on the Mayor and Council of 1915."
-Wingbam Advance.
The editor of the TierES is surely
within his rights in aspiring to the
Mayor's;chair for 1916. and ewe will
considerit an honor if the ratepayers,
in their wisdom, see fit to place ns in
the position. The editor of the paper
has spent nearly twenty-eight years in
assisting in the upbuilding of Wingham
and if the ratepayers feel that we
possess the ability to ill the position.
we are willing to make the sacrifice of
the time necessary for the proper dis-
charge of the duties of the office. The
TIMES man nos no objection to the
Advance placing boquets where it
pleases, but we believe that some of
the legislation enacted by a majority of
the council of 1915 was open to criticism
and as an editor of a public journal we
would be failing in our duty had we
not offered criticism.
Happy Family Re -Union.
There was a happy family gathering
at the home of Mr. Geo. Howatt on
Christmas day, when twenty-eight
relatives from Auburn and East
Wawanosh came through the storm to
spend the day. The re -union is usually
held in the country, but was held in
Wingbam this year owing to Mr.
Howattt's poor health, Thirty people
sat down to dinner and the circle was
complete with the exception of John
Howatt and Miss Jessie Wallace of
Dungannon. Messrs. Chas. W igbtman
and John Phillips proved themselves as
expert fowl carvers and Miss Maria
Louttit assisted these gentlemen in the
dinner serving. After full justice bad
been done to the many good things pro-
vided, the afternoon was spent in games
and music and Mr. John Lonttit gave
several selections on his gramophone,
which were much enjoyed. During the
afternoon part of the company adjourn-
ed to Mr. S. Cleghorn's when Mrs.
Cleghorn rendered several selections on
the violin and Mr. Geo. Howatt render-
ed selections, but not with bis old-time
vigor. It was a genuine Howatt re-
union and all Ieft in the evening feeling
that they had enjoyed a happy day.
Mr. Howatt has enjoyed many happy
Christmas days in his 52 years and this
year was one of the happiest. Mr. and
Mrs. Howatt are very grateful to their
neighbors for their kindness in caring
for the horses belonging to their
guests.
