Three sets were kept busy "hoeing it down' until midnight, when the help- ers repaired to the kitchen to prepare for the hungry crowd while Mr. John Scott of Roxboro sang his favorite pieces with his usual good voice. Scotland Yet brought down the en cores of the crowd and he responded time and again.' By the way, Mr. Scott was at the wedding reception at the sante place twenty-five years ago. as were several of the guests present and really, may m say they looked very little older.

One of the wits said they must have been preparing' for twenty-five years. After lunch all sat in their seats and typewritten sheets of com- munity songs were passed• around with such songs as "Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag" and "It Isn't Any Trogbie just to Smile," "0 Canada," "The Long, Long Trail" "Hail, Hail t �All Here 1 "Till We the- Gang's Meet Agan," led by Mr." Frank Sills, Mrs, Coulter was then called upon to give one of her humor- ous readings which she did and was thoroughly encored and was respond- ed to by her mother, Mrs. W.

The gifts of silver were beautiful including a cabinet from 'their friends in town; another was worthy of men- tion, from their neighbors who club- bed together and presented them with a cabinet of silver cutlery. The indi- vidual gifts were also beautiful, testi- fying to the popularity of Mr. and Mrs Sproat. Orchestra numbers were gi- ven by. Messrs. Sandy Doig on the banjo, Bob Tyndall on saxophone, Hugh ,Chesney and Frank Fowler on violins, Earl Van'Egmond, piano, which was wonderful and we hope to hear of thein again in the, near future at some other gatherings.

Some time in the early hours of Saturday morning a 'thief entered Geo: A. Sills Sc Sons' Hardware store and stole a fifle, a shotgun. several flashlights and a large quantity of. ammunition. - Entrance was gained through the cellar way. Footprints in the snow showed that the thief was alone and apparently a young man or. boy. Constable Whitesides, of Gode- rich, investigated 'the matter, but so far no arrest has been made, It is evident the thief was familiar with the store and had set his heart on the guns as -other 'things of greater value were left untouched, As snow fell till aboul 1:30 a.m, Saturday morning, the store must have been entered after that time, A new arrangement of the Con- stable's hours, so that he will be on duty from. 6 p.in. to 6 a.m, with the assistant Constable to be day man, as was proposed last' year, may be brough-t into effect.
