NG WILL/AM" ON CATH- OLIC HORSE 'The kind of co-operation that pre- .aviled here on July 12th and which enabled the local Orangemen to put across the biggest celebration in their history, is shown by the way their Catholic confrenes assisted in the pro- gram. Not only was the. VValkerton• Band, which was at the front of the procession, led by a Catholic, but the white charger on which County Mar - 'shall J. P. Johnstone was mounted in the role. of King William, was loaned free gratis for the stunt by its Catholic owner, Mr. Thomas Wolfe. Another of Mr. Wolfe's white team threw the Orange Mar- shall of North Bruce when he at- tempted to mount it and ride in the parade as King William's chief of staff. Seeing that his steed had decided objections to functioning in such a parade, Tom felt,it was up to him to get a mount for King Williain's chief officer,.so he borrowed another Cath- olic charger from- his father-in-alw, Mr. John Schmidt, and so the proces- sion moved �n 'with the two Orange leaders mounted on a pair of Catholic equines that looked like lineal de- scendants of the white quadruped that King William rode across- the Boyne on.—Walkerton Herald and Times. NO PROGRESS IN UNITING PARTIES (London Free Press) 'Belg•rave, July 25. — With three - members of the Federal Cabinet in attendance, Liberals of the district met here today for "organization" in preparation for the North Huron by- election, brought absauteeby the death nn. seeresees----. of J. W. KingneeregressiVe, mn . The meetinVgiven a parliamentary atmosphereAy the presence of I -Inn, James M /Loin", Hon. W. .D, Eulerand Hos . J. C. Elliott, was held, jt is comrson property, for the purpose of consi ering what could be done the way of getting the Liberalsnend Progressi es togethertc:enAefeat George . Spotton, Co servative candidate. The nig together" procedure, Liberals hope, is to have the Progressives withdraw Sheldon Bricker, Fordwich, named some time ago as Progressive candidate. Today's executive 'fleeting, it is learned ,was - nothing more than claimed for it --organization. The Progressives, officially, were conspic- .uotis by their absence and there was no opportunity given the three West- ern Ontario cabinet ministers tO show their prowess at persuading the Pro- gressives that it would be much bet- ter to support a Liberal than go to all the expense of permitting their can- didate to continue in the field. Rumors that Abner Cozens, of Wingham, might run as an Independ- ent Liberal, are discounted by the fact that he arrived here with Hon. Mr. Malcolm. Mr-, Euler came 'by train. The Progressives have so far given no encouragement to the pro - ,posed withdrawal or to tentative pro- posals for a joint convention to name a compromise candidate. Hon. James Malcolm, by long-dis- tance phone, stated last night that there were no steps taken toward joining the Liberals and Progressives against the Conservative candidate. He stated that, while there was "talk" of such action hothing of this nature took. place at the meeting, at least as far as he knew. "It was purely orgailization," stated Hon. Mr. Malcolm. "There was noth- ing done, as far as I know, in joining with the Progressives, bttt I think they are foolish if they don't." The Question of Choice "Which would, yez • rather be in, Casey --an explosion or t collision?" a collision," replied Casey. "Because in e collision there yez are; but itt an explosion, where are yez?" Mr. and Mfs.n Charles Bondi had just cause for real merriment •and feasting, according to the customs of their home land, the Isle of Sicily, on Sunday, the occasion being the bap- tismal ceremony of their infant son. Friends of the family' wens present from London, Toronto, Mount For- est, Listowel, Seaforth, Kincardine, Orangeville, numbering over one hun- d,red, and whose congratulations were evidenced in part in many valued gifts. Mr. and Mrs. Bondi proved generous entertainers, providing a bountiful repast,which all enjoyed. The sweets for the occasion were im- ported from New York. SUCCESSFUL' REUNION The Andrew and Lane families held a delightful family reunion at the home of Mr. David Andrew, of the xsth concession of Ashfield, about two miles south of Lucknow, where about 25o persons assembled to do honor to the pioneers of the family and to renew happy associations. The copious rain of the morning, which dampened the ground, did not serve,,to dampen the ardor of those well-known families. The large barn on the farm was made the rendezvous of the gathering .and seats were fur- nished therein to accommodate the crowd. S. B. Strothers, district representa- tive of the County of Essex and for- merly of the County of Huron, in his pleasing manner performed ihe duties of chairman, while a most interest- ing program of speeches, musical se- lections, readings, etc., was presented. Supper was served at the conclusion of the program and afterwards a var- ied program of sports was carried cut. All expressed themselves as hav- ing heartily enjoyedethe gathering.
