Instead, during the glorious Christmas season, when hap- py greetings were being exchanged, an event such as .always causes a ripple of excitement especially a- mongst young people, took place on Christmas eve at the .4autiful home of Mr. and Mrs. George Fairbairn, of the 12th concession. I refer to the hearty reception tendered- their sec- ond son, William. G.,and his pretty bri$1e, formerly Miss Luella Greene, of Grand Bendwhen about one hun- dred of their young friends assembled to usher 'them into the matrimonial arena. A very noticeable feature of this event was the well selected, cost- ly and useful array of presents. to the bride, conspicuous amongst which was a =handsome sum of money, presented in bills of various • denominations. Much praise is due the hostess for the dainty and inviting refreshments so amply provided on this occasion. Excellent music was furnished by Messrs. W. Cole and J. Wren, and -under the management' of Mr. W. H. Simmonds, uncle of the groom, the guests indulged in merriment until the early hours of Christmas morn- ing, when all repaired. :to theirihomes after thanking Mr, and M.S. Fairbairn for their hospitality, and wishing the young couple a long, happy and pros- perous married life.
