Mr. J. L, Ilsley, M.P., for Hants Kings, Nova Scotia, addressed the club on "The Point of View of the Maritime Provinces". Mr. Ilsley is one of three speakers sent bythe As- sociation sociation at Ottawa, to visit the dif- ferent clubs throughout Canada. Be- ing a fluent speaker, hep resented his subject in a most interesting manner. Having 'been born and brought uli in the Annapolis Valley, the land made famous by Longfellew in his poem, "Evangeline," he was able to give first hand knowledge of our sister province, Nova Scotia. His introductory remarks were a short sketch of tin history of Nova Scotia, showing 'why they as Cana- dians, have reason to be proud of their land. _The chief industries of this province are Agriculture, Fishing, Mining and Lumbering, Before the War the people were quite 'prosper- ous but owing to their geographical location toward the rest of Canada, and the concentration of markets in the - denser populated district, a real problem has grisen, Their natural market, the attractive eta -board. Ain- erieare cities are cut off 1 by . a ' rohlbl- tory tariff. Recently a commission appointed by the Government, recom- mended a cheaper freight rate and that has helped considerably. By each. province understanding each other's dififculties and solving them, together can Canada grow into the land of promise for which the Fathers of Confederation strove, Thus itis, through the interchange of these speakers; that Canadian Clubs can become familiar with these ques-' tions of the day. - WEDDINGS Lyons -Morrison A quiet but pretty wedding took ( place Wednesday, October 24th, at 10 o'clock in St. Mary's Cathedral when Anna T., third daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Morrison of Wingham, was united in marriage to J. P. Lyons, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. D. F. Lyons, Lake Shore Drive Chicago. The bride, who was given in marriage by the groom's brother,Mr. T. Lyons,' wore a becoming navy blue suit, Span- ish style with hat, gloves and shoes to match, carrying a bouquet of roses and baby's breath. She was attended by her girl friend, Miss Isabelle Ek- ener, who was dressed in correspond- ing suit, with picture hat to match, carrying a bouquet of roses and sweet peas. The altar was banked with ferns and roses with the Rev. Father O'- Brien officiating, assisted by Father Flanagan, uncle of the groom and Father Corrigan, cousin of the groom. During the signing of the register the choir sang "Ave Maria". After the ceremony the bridal party partook of a dainty wedding' breakfast at the groom's parents, served by the Young Ladies' Sodality. Afterwards they looked over the numerous and costly gifts. .The groom's gift to the bride was a Hudson seal Coat bound with Opposum, to the brides- maid, a pearl necklace, and to the groomsman, pearl cuff links. In the afternoon .they left by motor, amid showers of confetti and good wishes, on an extended trip to the South, dri- ven by the groom's private chauffeur. spading -Moore The home of Mr. and Mrs. Thos.

Council orderea fyled an invitation front the; Associated Chambers of Commerce of Western Ontario to the annual convenion in London on Wed- nesday of this week, feeling that the. local organization would look after the town's -hest interests. No more itinerant junk men to be al- lowed to come to town and corral lig- itintate business that belongs to our local tradesmen. A. Brown complain- ed of loss of business through these occasional visitors, so council will have a by-law passed at next meeting requiring them to pay a license fee be- fore doing business. Three tenders were received for first grade, egg size anthracite coal for the town hall, viz;: Rae & Thomp- son, $14.50; J. A. McLean, $14.75, and Cantelon & Co„ $14.85. Rae & Thompson's tender was accepted, coal being weighed free on the town scales. One Saturday night last July, Miss Alice Goodall of Toronto, tripped on the sidewalk near the Walker Store, and fell rather heavily .on the hard pavement, and had to be carried into the store, where she soon recovered herself. Council did not anticipate anything to arise out of it, but 'a few weeks ago a Toronto law firm sug- gested a cash payment of $125.00 in recompense for damages sustained. Town solicitor thought payment of claim as the lesser of two evils, and in best interests of the municipality, so the aggrieved party signed a quiet claim in the matter, and the town paid. over the $125. ,This accident happen- ed just 48 hours before the council took out indemnity policy with a Cas- ualty Co. Finance' Committee made a heavy see report on expenditures this month, in - eluding -eluding payment of a. number of ma- turing local improvement,debentures, salaries and advances to the schools. Report was adopted on motion of Reeve McXibbon and Councillor Wil- kinson. Councillor Wilkinson reported two resignations from the fire brigade, Art Wilson and Robert Arnold. These . vacancies will be filled at once. Councillor Tipling, stated that ra- ther extensive but needed repairs had been made to the weigh scales which were now in first-class condition.' Ex- pense of installing new furnaces in town hall was about $125 over con- tract, because considerable new cold - air ducts were found necessary, and an additional motor and fan for the extra furnace. Part of basement floor from rear to front, in front of furn- aces, had been cemented -a necess- ary piece of work. New heating ;sys- tem is giving good service. Mayor Fells suggested lifting most of pavement flags where uneveness exists, and levelling the foundation as a more economical way than patching with new blocks. This year $341.75 was spent on Josephine street in a very limited space. Much more work of the kind remains for next year. Council decided to lay a - laurel wreath on the monument on Armis- tice Day. Council adjourned. A deep veil of modesty preventing any of the town fathers from giving a hint as to their intentions next year. Perhaps they will be back in their old positions. WHO WILL IT BE? Wingham's municipal nominations are to be held in a fortnight, and so far not one man has definitely advan- ced for any position. Mayor Fells has had three terns, and if he were to consider his personal wishes might retire with the honors of the past. But will his friends permit this? Un- til he makes a definite announcement of his intentions, no other person is likely to jump into the fray. Of cour- se Councillor 'Tipling has ambitions to fill the Mayor's chair, but just whether he will consider the present time opportune or not, remains to be seen. Reeve McKibbon has been a fixture at the County Council so long, that the position is his just so long ashe wishes. Following are the retiring school trustees: F. J. Hill, A. J. Walker, J. Isard and Dr. J. A. Fox.
