She was met at Greenock on her ar- rtval by two of her ,brothers an they proceeded with her to Glasgow, where she was met ity a sister. She had not seenthese eelatives for a great 'many years and it is thought that the excitement of these meetings proved to much for her.

The worthy couple weee married at Nor- vEll, in the county of Feel, by Rev. Thew. Johnston, Presbyterian minis- ter, on November 27th, 1866. They came to McKillop in 1860 and settled on a farm on the gh concession, where they continued to reside un- til about twelve years ago *hen. desieles to retire from the more ac- tive duties of life, they came to Sea - forth, where they have since resid- • ed.

On Sunday the wea- ther was delightful and the congre- gations were large both morning and evening. In the morning the church was comfortably filled and in tbe evening it was so crowded that chairs had to be used( hi the aisles to se- cure seating -accommodation. The services were Conducted by Rev. "Mr. Winchester, of Toronto. The people expected considerable from him and they were not disappointed. His sermens were earnest, able, eloquent and instructive. Sunday evening he gave . what might be called -a Mission- ary ee_rmon. Mr. Winchestee is an enthusiast in this department of church' work, and the cause could scarcely have a more earnest or able advocate. He commenced his minis- terial career as a Missionary in China and continued in the work there for nearly three years, when his health failed and he came to this country, and for ,a time he engaged in regu- lar pastoral work, but _later went to British Columbia as missionary to 'the Chineese there. He gave up that work to accept of his present charge in Toronto, and his congregation there Is one of the largest and most wealthy in the city. On 'Monday evening the anniversary tea meeting was held, and, despite the wet and threatening weather, there was a large attend- ance, and all present seemed to thor- oughly enjoy themselves, both in the school room, where the -physical and .social feast was dispensed, and in the auditorium, where the intellectual and masical feast was provided. The ladies o1. this congregation have a well earned reputation ait caterers to sustain, and that their reputation did not suffer in this respect on this occasion was the universal verdict of the many who partook of the Substan- tiate _and delicacies of the bounti- fully- provided and neatly spread tab- les. In the auditorium the chair was occupied by the pastor, Rev. Mr. Larkin, who seems,to have the happy faculty of being able te keep every- body in good humor, and making all things run smoothly and pleasantly on such occasions. `Some disappoint- ment was felt at the failure of Rev. Mr. .Wisbert, Of Brussels, to be pres- ent, but even with thie lack there was • a bountiful supply, and all, of rthe, best. Witty, sensible and eulteble ad- dresses were delivered by Rev. Mr. Carswell, of kclCillop Rev'. Mr. Lec- kie, of Londesboro, Who by the way is a model tea meeting speaker; and by Rev. Mr. Birks,. 'of the Methodist church, who was 'called on to fill the blank exulted by the absence of Mr. Wishart, and he did it well, al- though speaking oh the inspiration of the moment. Tbe church choir was largely reinforced by some of the best musical talent the town can produce, and the music rendered both on Sun- day and Monday evening was not only creditable to them, but was such as ever been is very rarely, listened to outside the Presentation to Mr. H. M. Jackson. Friday evening last MT.

The watch had 'his in- itials in, monogram on tbe front and inside the bank had the following en- graved: "To H. M. Jackson from 'the Huron Football Club, the Beaver La- crosse Club and the citizenof Sea - forth, presented November 28rd,1906.", The address was read py Mayor 'Brod- erick and the presentation was made by Mr. James L. Killoran. After the presentation had been made the visitors were .most hospitably enter- tained by Miss Jackson, and a pleas- ant evening was spent in Stories of 'the "old boys" and the "old garnes." The whole affair was a coinplete surprise to Mr. Jackson. A sheet time ago be had announced to a few friends that, on account of business, be was " otit of sports for good." For a number Of years, perhaps more than Mr. Jackson would care to count up, he has been a leading spirit in all athletic sports in town, noton- ly that, but he has been a valued meMber of both the lacrosse and foot- ball teams, and has assisted for many seasons in retaining Seaforth's pres- tige in the world of sports. He has been enthusiastic and a worker, and to him is due not a little of the credit of having kept 'the town going and in such good shape. Better still than that, It has at at times been his endeavor to keep ithem clean sports, and he has nearly completed.
