On Wednesday afternoon of last week tl e residence of Mr. A. M. Fralick, of the 6th con. Turnberry, was burned to the ground with all the contents. The only particulars we were sble to learn before going to press was that both Mr. and Mrs. Fralick were away and the childrenwere at school. Neighbors no- ticed that the building was on fire but before they could get there it was a mass of flames. On Tuesday evening, March 12th, a very pretty wedding was solemnized at the home of Mr. Jno. Bush, Mapledale, Turnberry,when their second daughter, E. Lilian and Waldo E. Weir were un- itedin the holy bonds of matrimony. Shortly after five o'clock the couple, unattended, took their places under a decorated arch to the strains of Lohen- grin's wedding march rendered by Mrs. Hartley of Clinton, sister of the groom. The ceremony was conducted by Rev. R. E. Collis. The bride' looked quite charming in a dainty gown of all-over embroidery and carried a boquet of pink and white carnations After the cer- emony the company retired to the din- ing room which was tastefully decorat- ed where a sumpe,ous mealwasserved. The evening was spent in mutic and games. The following day the happy couple left for a short trip, the bride's going -away gown being of blue French broadcloth with hatto match. Ontheir return the young people will take up their residence in Howick where the groom is a prosperous young farmer. The best wishes of a large dircle of friends go with the happy couple.
