MANY hearty congratulations were re. ceivtd by Sir Wilfrid and Lady Laurier, last week, on the 5oth anniversary of their weddeng - Sir Wilfrid occup`es a inrge place in the hearts of the people. That's a gond place to have it too. AT North Oxford Liberal Conveution john A. Calder, of East Niseouri tnwn- sbip, was the choice M reptesent the rid- ings as successor to Barrister Rowell. Mr. Calder is a "farmer without frills", as he pnts it. Acclamatinn is ex• petted.
