She look- ed lovely in. a gown of navy blue satin with overdress of georgette embroid- ered in colors, and carried in her hand a symbolic bouquet of pink roses. After the signing of the regi- ster, the company enjoyed themselves to the full around the festal table, and with hearts full of best wishes did they drink together a toast to the young couple, which was proposed by Dr. Larkin, in remarks compliment- ary to the bride, congratulatory to the 'groom, and honoring to both. Amid 1 showers of confetti from a crowd of ultra -cheerful friends Mr. and Mrs. Woehl boarded the afternoon train for Detroit, and at the end of their honeymoon trip will make their home at Bridgeburg.

Death of Miss Carter. -It was with sincere regret that the_ people of Sea - forth learned Monday orning of the death -at Highland .P rk Hospital, Detroit, • of Kathleen stelle Carter, on Sunday `after an illness of only a few- days, from pneumonia. Miss Carter was born at Penetanguishene. Simcoe 'County, 54 years ago, and as a young girl lived with the family of the late Dr. McFaul, of Teronto, and after his death for twenty-six years made her home with the family of Dr. and Mrs. Atkinson, of Detroit, spending each summer at their sum- mer - home in Bayfield. Miss Carter also spent several weeks annually with the late Mrs. M. C. Chesney in Seaforth, where she possessed a large circle of friends. For the past year and a halo Miss Carter had been nursing at Highland Park Hospital. The remains were brought to Seaforth on Tuesday, the funeral services be- ing held at First Presbyterian church; and interment being made in the Maitlandbank cemetery. Woehl-Rankin.-One of Seaforth's brightest and most charming young ladies emerged into a great and in- teresting experience at high noon on Saturday, February 14th, when Miss Olive Rankin was married to Mr. Alvin G. Woehl; of Brideburg, Ontario, eV the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jahn Rankin, the nuptial knot being tied by Rev. F. H. Larkin. To the strains of the wedding march played by Miss Annie Govenlock, the bride was -led to the side of her future companion by her father, by whom she was also given away. She look- ed lovely in. a gown of navy blue satin with overdress of georgette embroid- ered in colors, and carried in her hand a symbolic bouquet of pink roses. After the signing of the regi- ster, the company enjoyed themselves to the full around the festal table, and with hearts full of best wishes did they drink together a toast to the young couple, which was proposed by Dr. Larkin, in remarks compliment- ary to the bride, congratulatory to the 'groom, and honoring to both. Amid 1 showers of confetti from a crowd of ultra -cheerful friends Mr. and Mrs. Woehl boarded the afternoon train for Detroit, and at the end of their honeymoon trip will make their home at Bridgeburg. The groom's gift to the pianist was a 'gold brooch set with pearls and amethysts. A host of friends in Huron and Welland Counties and elsewhere will follow them with deep- est interest and earnest felicitations.
