-A very tashionable event took place last
week at Mr. Henry Koehler's home, Welles-
when his youngest daughter, Katie,
married to Mr. Wm. Hamer,of Wilmot.
ev. D. Lackner performed the wedding
earemon . The bride was assisted by Miss
Annie Koehler and Miss Barbara Hamer,
.while Messrs. Jacob Horner and Joseph
Messer supported the groom. About seventy-
ilve guests were present. The young couple
dill reside on a farm.
The Conservatives of South Perth nom-
inated as their candidate for the Provincial
Legislature Nelson Monteith, Warden of
thecountyof Perth. - Mr. Monteith receiv-
ed 95 votes and Mr.' Querengesser 22. The
letter gentleman promptly moved to make
Monteith's nomination numinous,
which, being seconded, by County Councillor
iienneweis, was carried. Mr. Monteith has
asked for a 'short time to consider before
finally accepting.
-Miss Rosie Blackwell, daughter of Mr.
William Blackwell, of London, was recently
married to Mr. Sidney Bisbee, formerly of
St. Marys. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. E. B. Lanceley, pastor of Dundas
centre church, The bride was assisted by'

gan, and Alf. Eacratt, of London; supported
the groom. Mr. and Mrs. Bisbee left on a
honeymoon trip to the east amid the good
wishes of their numerous friends. Return-
ing the young couple will reside in St.
Marys.
-Mayor Hord, of Mitchell, baanquetted'a
large number of his friends at the Royal ho•.
tel, one evening net long ago. Among those
present were the members of the council,
high and public school beards, officials of
the corporation, county council representa-
tives Jackson and Ryan, and D. K. Erb,
M. P., of Downie. The usual toasts were
proposed and well deserved compliments
were showered upon the Mayor for the very
,creditable manner in which he presided over
the destinies of the town during the past
three years. The gathering was a pleasant
one and Mr. Hord's hospitality was much
appreciated.
-Miss' Emma Roberta, daughter of Mr.
H. Roberts, of Stratford, arrived home
from St. Catharines last week where she
. has been attending the Mack Training school
for nurses. Miss Roberta has acquitted
herself exceedingly well, having passed all
her examinations and received. a beautiful
silver medal for her very efficient services.
uring the graduation exereiees, Miss
Roberts was the recipient of a hand-
some gold watch which was presented
to her on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Neff, of
Buffalo. The- latter had heen a patient in
the hospital and the gift was a token of the
-family's esteem and appreciatiow of services
rendered by Miss Roberts.
-The second annual concert by the
Mitchell high school, under the management
of Mr. F. D. Fry, was given in the opera
house on Wednesday evening of last week.
-Considering the short time spent in getting
sip the programme, it was exceedingly good.
The drills and exercises by the boys and
girls, could scarcely be improved upon. The
programme was followed by the presenting
of diplomas; to the different scholars. The
members of the school board were seated on
the platform, and in turn expressed them-
selves as to the satisfactory way in. which
the school is progressing ender the manage-
ment of its present able staff of teachers.
The concert concluded with the singing of
the national anthem. -
the children word of each chorus although sung by the
whole school, wan 'distinctly heard at the
door ; their plain enuniciation is deserving
of special mention. The dialogues were
well acted, the tableaux were well present-
ed and the music by the harmonica band
was good and lively. Rev. W. J. West was
a good natured chairman a.nd Rev. W. T.
Hall, of Belgrave, gave an address. One of
the most amusing things of the evening was
the singing of "Two Little Hands for
Jesus" by the infant class, although it was
not. intended to be so. Sixteen girls _per-
formed the Columbia drill very nicely. They
were dressed in white, with red, white and
blue sashes and caps. Thee paused in the
drill while Miss Burdette Isfeeracken
ed a poem on the Union Jack and near the
dose of the drill the girls sang the "Red
White and Bine." So well was the audience
pleased. with the drill, it had to be given
over again. Before the close of the enter-
tainmeat Santa Claus jumped from his sleigh
and gave every wee man and woman a box
of candy. We had almost forgotten to
mention the tableaux, Rebecca at the stake.
The chairman gave a very elaborate address
describing the sacrifice of poor Rebecca for
witchcraft, the curtains parted, but lo
Rebecca was pounding beefstake. The
audience, however with a few exceptions,
failed to tumble. Rebecca had a notion of
calling round next miming -like Artemis
Ward when he was lecturing in London -to
explain the-joke,but finally gave it up,think-
ing no doubt, 'that the truth would eome
home to them through time.

When the old year ends and the new
begins, you have a change in years. This
is usually the point where many people
make other changes. A good time for fur;
niture changes. A good time to put in a
new Chair or a new Conch, or a new table.
New furniture costs less than you imagine.
If you haven't bought furniture in recent
years, you will be astonished at the low-
ness of price. Furniture delivered far and
near FREE.

In looking back over the past year, we
have seen many new faces, and
have made many new customers,
with the result our business has
increased to a very gratifying ex-
tent. When a firm name has been,
before the public for 25 years -a
quarter of a century- -one would
naturally think we supply foot-
wear to almost everybody, But,
while we know we have a great
many old customers from, year to

to use everybody right.
