EDITORAL NOTES
"I present myself to you to -day sim-
ply as Sir Wilfrid Laurier, a Canadian
citizen, and I =just as proud of it as
I was of being Premier. Not merely
hundreds of families but thousands
have become happy and prosperous
during my administration, and I look
back on my work and am satisfied." --
Sir Wilfrid Laurier at St. Clet, Que.,
on Saturday.
British immigration this year is just
holding its own. Up to August let the
immigration was 82,781-1, a decrease of
fifteen. Continental immigration was
60,959, an increase of 155,1100, and. Am-
erican immigration 65,900. The fact
that British immigration is not increas-
ing is said to be due to the efforts Aus-
tralia is making to divert the tide to-
wards the Commonwealth.
Two weeks ago Thomas Harris,
cattle dealer, of Ripley, lost $6,000 in
hard cash in not being able to sell his
cattle on the larger market across the
line. When he reached Toronto he
was informed that the top price for his
cattle would be $7.00. A few hours
later he receieved the news that he
could get $10.50 in Chicago. But the
gates were up and Thomas could not
get into the larger market. On the
way home he figured out his loss at
$6,000 "It's too bad we could not get
that market," said the Ripiey buyer,
"I am out $6,000, the farmers are out
many thousands, and I am commenc-
ing to think it was a big mistake in
not opening that market."—Ripley

On Wednesday, 4th of September, a
very pretty wedding took place at Kel-
so Farm. Turnberry, the home of Mr.
and Mrs. F, C. Wright, when their
young, st daughter, Mary Stella, was
united in marriage to H- I3ens3n Wheel-
er, a prospe_ous young farmer of Grey
township. Promptly at fire o'clock, to
the strains of the wedding march play-
ed by Mrs. R. Wheeler, of Southamp-
ton, the couple took their places on a
rug on the lawn and Rev, Mr. West of
Bluevale, performed the interesting
Ceremony in the presence of about one
hundred guests. The bride was prettily
gowned in a dress of cream mescaline

silk and carried a shower boquet of
white roses and ferns. After the wed-
ding supper and the usual toasts a very
pleasant evening was spent in games
and musie. Mr, and Mrs. Wheeler left
on Thursday on a trip to Toronto. The
bride's going away dress was a suit of
navy blue serge with silk waist to
match and a pink and white beaver hat,
During the signing of the register Miss
Jessie Strachan sang very sweetly "The
Voice that Breathed O'er Eden."
Friends were present from Brussels,
Wawanosh, Southampton, Wroxeter
. and other points. The gifts were num-
erous, beautiful and useful, among
ithem being several cheques. The
groom's gift to the bride was a set of

To very few people comes the op-
portunity of celebrating their 50th
wedding anniversary, or what is known
as the Golden Wedding, but to George
and Mrs. Pollard came this pleasant ex-
perience at their home in Brussels,
Monday, September 2nd. Perhaps
more remarkable than being spared to
enjoy such a celebration is that their
children (six sons and three daughters)
are all living, six of whom were pres-
ent on this glad occasion. All enjoy the
best of health and are prospering. To
say that the home gathering was one
of delight and unmixed pleasure to the
46 who assembled is not overstating
the case and the meeting will never be
forgotten. Mr. Pollard first saw the
light of day in the Emerald Isle on
January 1st, 1829, and if spared till
next January will record his 84th birth-
day. His good wife, whose maiden
name was Urania Statton, was
born in Cornwall, England, 76 years
ago last March. Both found their way
to Canada in their youth locating in
Perth county, where in the township of
Logan 54 years ago, on September
24th, they were joined together in mat-
rimony by Rev. Mr. Evans. They con-
tinued to make their home in Logan
and Hibbert townships until 1896, when
they purchased a farm in Morris town-
ship, Huron county and eight years
ago the old folk decided to take a well-
earned rest and moved to Brussels.
Their children are: Henry, of Coloma,
Mich.; Thomas, Saline Creek, Sask.;
George, Weston, Ont.; Joseph, Port
Townshend, Wash.; James, Sault Ste
Marie, Ont.; Charles on the homestead,
Morris township; Mrs. John F. Was -
man, Clinton, Ont.; Mrs. H. A. Switz-
er, Inwood, Ont.; and Mrs. Samuel Mc-
Gee, fort Townshend. Of 27 grand-
children, 16 were on hand on Monday
and one of the two great-grandchildren,
Cecil George, the 14-months-cld son of
Albert Pollard, of Kincardine, was also
present. The other great-grandson is
John Frederick Wasman, of Nolan,
New Mexico, whose father, a son of J.
F, Wasman of Clinton, passed away
recently deeply regretted.
Marriage is like vaccination, there
are some men with whom it never
