To the latter class belong Mr, and Mrs. Joseph Tigert of Sheppard - ton, who on Sunday, January completed the sixtieth year in a very happy married life, The interesting event of sixty years ago took place in St. Paul's Anglican Church, Dungannon, the same building which is still used by the Anglican congregation, and is in excellent state of repair. The cere- mony was performed by Rev. Wil- liam Daunt, the rector of the parish at that time, in the presence of a large number of guests who had al- companied, the bride and bridegroom froin the neighborhood of Sheppard - ton and Port Albert. The bride's maiden name was Eliz- abeth J. Maize, she being a 'daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs, James Maize, who resided, on the farm at present occupied by Percy Graham near Sheppardton, the family having conic there from Cobourg some four years previous. James Maize and Miss Henrietta Maize of Dungannon and the late Mrs, James Crawford of Port Albert are brother and sisters of the bride of sixty years ago. e The bridegroom, Joseph Tigert, is a son of the late Mr, and Mrs. John Tigert, who came iron). London years ago and settled on 'the farm which, throughout the intervening years, has continued to be the home of members of the Tigert family, at present being occupied by 'Mr, and Mrs. Harold Tigert, who, with their throe children, are the fourth and fifth generations, respectively, kio re- side thereon. Mr. and, Mrs. Joseph Tigert still make their home in the summer- time in one section of the double house on the old farmstead. During the winter season they go to reside with their daughter, Mrs, Wil- liam Hawkins, near Bort Albert, Atthe marriage ceremony of sixty years ago the bride and bridegroom were attended by Andrew Peacock of Sheppardton and Miss Anne Whalen of Kincardine, both of whom. are nor deoeased, The original plans for the celebra- tion of the diamond wedding were to hold, it at the old homestead at the heme of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Tigert, but owing to the inclemency of the weather and to the somewhat feeble condition of the honored couple, who ane in their eighty-fourth and eighty- first years, the gathering was held at thh home of Mr. and Mrs. William Hawkins instead. Mr. seri Mrs. Tigert received mes- sages of congratulation from mem- bers of their family who were un- able to be present, also from many friends and neighbors, Their fainily consists of three children, Mrs. William Hawkins and John Tigert, of Port Albert, and James Tigert of Hamilton. There are five grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, We join with others in extending felicitations and our wish is that their declining years may be filled with the same happiness and peace which has pervaded the years that are past, and that each may be spared as a companion to the other for many years still, RARE WORDS THESE In reporting the Lucknow-Wing- ham hockey game last week, the Lucknow Sentinel sets a good ex.= ample of giving some honest credit and criticism of the umpire, who, un- fortunately never figures in popular- ity, except when in an unfavorable light. The Sentinel says, Lockeridge of Wingham, was ref- eree, and his decisions were highly satisfactory throughout. It is saying much for Mr. Locicridge 'as a good sport, that, though a Wingham boy, and even playing with Wingham sen- iors, that the Lucknow boys should tave 'so much confidence in him that they would invite hitn to come over and referee a game here. It seems after all, that the umpire that is man- ly enough to do the square thing and Who can be impartial can command, a high measure of confidence and re- spect.'
