Johnston of Goderich Wee the scene of a happy event on Saturday when their eldest daughter, Lottie Viola Maud, became the bride of Mr. Cecil Chester Farquhar, ,son of Mr. and Mrs, George Farquhar of the Gravel Road, north of ,town. Promptly at the hour of twelve o'clock, noon, the bride entered the drawing room leaning on the arm of her father, who gave her away, Tile wedding music was played by the bride's sister, Miss Dern. The bride wore a pretty wedding gown of white crepe -de {iene and carried a large bouquet of cream. La n plan is roses, lily -of -the -valley. and Y maidenhair fern, Little Miss Irene Cook, cousin of the bride, acted as ring ,hearer and looked very charming in a utile pink silk frock with overdress of shadow lace. The bridal couple had no other attendants. The ceremony was performed by the. Rev. R. ('. McDirmid, pastor of Knox church. When the. newly -wedded pair had received the congratulations of the aseembb'd gursts, about fifty in num- ber, they led the .way to the dining room where a dainty luncheon was served. Mr, and Mrs. Farquhar left the same afternoon for Toronto where they intended spending ,a few days before leaving for their future home in Saskatoon. Tbe bride's going a- way suit was of sand colored poplin hi she ore a rett black w'th which a w 1 pretty! French- turban with old gold roses, and mink furs .Tbe bride was, the recipient of some very, nice wedding gifts among which were several handsome cheques. This young couple have the very. best. wishes ,o£ their, many Mende for a happy married .life. ARMING'S THE JOB. There seems to be a generel mo+'e- ment to have' the students from the different Coliegiates and High schools throughout Canada assist this sum - ler in farm work and thus to add. to the sum total of food stuffs pro- duced and the general prosperity of the country. A somewhat amusing cartoon ap- eared in one of the. 'Toronto papers recently. It was supposed to por- tray the reluctance with which city dwellers would return to their work in the city after spending a few months in the greater freedom and plenty of the country. A bank clerk flyingf m a constable with s shown .o drawn revolver declaring that he 'w411 not go back to. work in the old Bank." An editor had been caught nd` caged, evidently the only way to secure him, while a cartoonist was shown chained to a tie post. A num ber had taken refuge in a barn and, arming themselves with pitchforks, refused -to be taken alive, and all the while conveyances are' waiting to car- ry them back to the city. All this was of course the fancy of a clever cartoonist's fertile brain, but after ail night there not -to a grain of truth in the picture ? It is not likely that men who have chosen their profession or trade ; have work - at it for years and become profici- ent in it will change their mode of wing, but might it not turn out that many of the boy►n, who during !Ills summer will assist in` farming operations, will form a taste for the work and decide to take it up later? 1'lte time is coming when Canadian, armors will till fewer acres and Will 4il1 them more lnteneively, applyng I the soil the hest of their skill and demending from the soil the hist I [n production. Favus will be smaller and. closer together as in the o10er civilizations, and 'this will tend tro increased social intercourse. Then, too, the rural mail delivery!; rural telephone systems, which are so centi- me now in all rural communities., the greater conveniences for doing all k[nds of work for the use of 1'ioth nen and women and the use 'of more convetlient and sanitary dwel- Ings will have its good el- ect.

Fanny had passed her sixteenth birthday tour months ago and ;to the casual observer she, was the picture of health, a well-developed, rosy- eheeked girl, who'• would have beer' picked out in a crowd for her ap- pearance of vigorous health, It was known by het parents that she had a weakness of t11e heart bet it was not thought that it was so serious and she was attending school and go- ing about her accustomed' duties as usual, She had .gone throagh her morning work at school without complaint and was on her way home having ran with a friend who accom- panied her; up - a slight grade, when she suddenly, fell on the ware near the residence of Mr, D. S. Cluff, Mr, 'Clue!, carried her into the house and a doctor was immediately sum- moned and bei f,ther notified, Life itad fled before either arrived, howev- er. Indeed, the medical Winn said death was instantaneous. She wits a bright, handsome, win- some girl, full of the .enjoyment of life, and it looked as if she might have a long ;and useful Il'e before her., but she was cut off in the flow- er of her youth ; when as yet the sweet draught from the cup of life had barely touched her lips,; The .funeral' took place yesterday) afternoon, interment being made in Clinton cemetorts.
