the following account of the marriage
of it sister of Mr.,T. W. &oft: "A

13th concession, Landon township, the
home of Jlr. and Mrs. James Scott, et
seven o'clock, on the eveging of Decem•
ber 10th, when t heir daughter, Amanda,
and Mr. 1. Alfred Garrett were united
in the holy bonds of wedlock. The
ceremony wan performed by Rev. R.
Wilson, rector of Trinity church, Blrr.
The bride was given away by her
father, and entered the parlor to the
etrains of the welding march played by
Miss Victoria Goulding, organist of
Trinity church, Blrr, of whose chow' the
bride was a valued member. The bride
looked heeutiful in a handsome gown of
white silk organdy, with train, trimmed
with ruffles, chiffon and dainty Ince,
with conventional veil and orange blos-
soms, and carried a bouquet of bride's
roses, The bride was attended by her
two little nieces—Mies Alice Scott, of
Maple Grove, as flower girl, dressed in
Milk organdy, trimmed with white
chiffon, end Miss Doris Scott, of Blyth,
dressed in whites embroidered organdy,

hidden in a basket of pink carnations
and smilax. The groom, who is one of
the most populer young mon of Louden
township, is the youngest eon of the
late Mr. Win. Garrett, of Granton.
The presents received by the bride, who
is it general favorite, were beautiful,
numerone and costly, the groom's pree-
ent being it handsome piano. The
guests, numbering 25, were restricted
to the immediate families of the non-
tracting parties owing to the very
saricus illueee of the bride's brother.
After a social evening the young couple

the groom, 10th concession, London

gown was a tailor-made costume of cas-
ter cloth, with pretty blue Dresden Bilk
