G. Farquhar- son, of Provost, Alberta, formerly of Walton locality. As the Wedding March was played by Mrs. Walter Davidson, the bride's sister, the prin- cipals took their places before a bank of flowers and holly in the parlor, where the ceremony was performed by Rev. A. J. Mann, B. A. The good looking bride, who was given away by her father, was very becomingly attired in a gown of golden brown taffetta which was worn on a similar occasion by her mother 41 years ago and carried a beautiful boquet of white carnations and lily of the valley. After hearty congratulations the guests to . the number of 30, being confined to near relatives, sat down to a well prepared wedding dinner, to which ample justice was done. Bride's health was proposed in felicitous terms by the officiating minister, to which the groom responded appropriately. The wedding gifts were numerous, valuable and well selected. The groom's gift to the bride was a handsome muskrat fur coat and muff to match. A pleasant evening was en- joyed by the company who separated with many good wishes for the health and prosperity of the happy couple. Mr. and Mrs Farquharson will make their home at Provost, Alta., but will not go West for a month or so as they purpose visiting relatives and friends in Ontario. The bride's going away costume consisted of a navy blue gar- lbardine suit, with a tuscan silk blouse and mink hat. WEST WAWANoSl3.

No more noble decision could any physically young man make at this time when our Empire is engaged in the most terrible struggle which has been recorded in the annals of history; a war which must be fought and won by such brave and loyal men as your- selves. It must be a source of much plea- sure to our brave Canadian Minis- ter of Militia to see so many sons of Canada ready and willing to lay down their lives, if need be, in de- fence of the Empire and liberties which we enjoy and enable the fut• ore generations to be like us. free from Prussian tyranny and militar- ism. We cannot let the occasion of your parting pass without showing in some way our appreciation of your sacrifice and we beg of you to ac- cept this small token, expressive of our regards and we hope that if you are called to go to the battle front that the Lord will be with you and bring you back in safety, to home and friends.

Mr. McAllister had the lantern in the main barn, and it accidentally fell through the feed hole to the ground floor and exploded. The building was a mass of flames in a few moments.

A man named Messner living in Teeswater sued several Bruce Tp. farmers on notes which they had given to two, agents named Peter and W. J. McKenzie. Messner had bought the notes and the makers thereof claimed that McKenzies had got them on fraudulent representa- tion. They were given in payment of lots in Melfort, Sask.
