GOLDEN. WEDDING.
Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Melville
Celebrate Fiftieth Anniversary.
On Tuesday evening, Dec:. 8th
Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Tyerman'gave a
surprise gathering to "twenty friends
and relatives of Mr and Mrs, Law
rence Melville, who are respected
citizens of our town and who have
both: been invalids for some time, in
order to celebrate their golden wed-
ding anniversary. 'Mrs. Melville is
a sister of Mr Tyerman. Mr. and
Mrs: Melville were married in +Hul-
tett, Dec. 8th, 1875, and have one
daughter; Miss Mina, at home. The
bridesmaid and groomsman, Miss
Addie Tyerman, sister of the bride,
and Mrd John 'Melville," brother of
the groom, were both present to help
celebrate. A sumptuous wedding din-
ner was served by Mrs. Tyerman,
assisted by Mrs. N. 'Garter, the tables
looking very dainty with place cards
lettered in gold and mounted with
gilded bittersweet berries, golden
candlesticks with gold shades, while
the centrepiece •was a wedding cake
artistically iced to represent a court-
ing scene in the prevailing gold
color. After dinner was served an.
address was read to the honored
guests by Mr, F. D. Hutchison while
Mr, C. Adams presented the bride
and groom with a golden box con-
taining many articles all •suitably
wrapped in gold. Much amusement
we's caused as the happy pair un
wrapped the parcels which were
fancy and ornamental, valuable and
valueless, useful and useless, and
the climax was reached when a purse
containing gold coins was revealed
at the bottom of the ' .box. Many
cards and letters from friends far and
near were then .produced and read by
Mrs, F. D. iHutchison, extending con-
gratulations and good wishes for fu-
ure happiness. The evening was
spent in reminiscences, songs, anec-
dotes and speeches=•by 'Mayor Gold-
ingaitd others. Mrs. J, Fairservice
was pianist. Mr, Wilbur Hutchison,
Winnipeg, a cousin of the bride, un-
expectedly arrived in time to share in
the festivities. After expression of
thanks*by the wedding couple and to
the host and hostess for their gener-
ous hospitality, the very enjoyable ev-
ening closed.

Do Not Procrastinate
Because --
There are only 886 hours from eight" o'clock
Friday morning till the same hour Christmas morn-
ing. Of this number the stores SHOULD be closed
196 hours not including Sundays of which there are
two, meaning 20 hours more, in all 216 hours closing
leaving a balance of 120 hours. Then again if you
take only one half hour for each M three meals per
day, not including Sundays, it means 18 boure, of
eats which are impossible shopping hours. Supposing
your work necessitates 8 hours per day for the re-
maining twelve working,days. which means 96 hours
you have 1211 eours miens 96 hours, a slim 24 hours
left to do all your Christmas shopping.
Can Von Do It
Arrange to spend thirty minutes in our store and you
will find it a most profitable half hour's pleasure.
