the change,
' The sgeests were received, by Mr.
• M
HOs Misalath, the president of the
association and. by Mrs. ideal:oh at
the door of the beautiful assembly
hall, and. were entertained firstly by a
:well Ai ranged programme of nitrate
•and. addresses, and, secondly,by a very
- enjoyable repast, and, thirdly by a de-
lightful dance, in which the oldest of
sthe old Huron "begs" did .not fail to
•join. Col. Otter, wlao first saw the
light, near Clintoo, and, therefore had
greatness thrust upon him at his .birth,
Was the guest of the eventn,g and he
was given an enthusiastic greeting. A
huge picture of the Colonel of • the
Royal Canadians hung over the plat-
form, and the room was prettily decor-
. ate(' with flags in his honor,
• President MacMath, who presided,
called on Col. Otter for a speech,and in
doing so spoke of the pride that he
telt when he heard that the gallant offi-
cer was a native of Goderich.
Ool. Otter said in reply that it Was
: an eatrerne pleasure for him to Meet
so much of the county of Huron. He
was glad that an association had been
formed for the purpose nf fostering the
eldtraditions ot their pornraon birth-
place,and of cultivating between those
who were proud to say that they were
born in Huron a feeling of friendship
.and comradeship, In kinking at a
map of Ontario,Huron would be seen to
•, be one of the laxgest of the counties,
but he could remember it when it con-
sisted of four corners only. He ad.
'dad that he had to say that tne•
chairman was wrong, that he could
not claim to have been born in Gode-
. ich. Col. Otter said that he had been horn
in a log cabin on.the London .Road,ene
and one-half zniles from what was now
; Clinton. Clinton was then represent-,
ed by a store, a postoffice and a tav-
ern. • The speaker then gave some in-
teresting reminiscences of early life in
,the county and told of the Indians,
none too friendly, enteringhis lather's
house and taking provisions which
Wang from the rafters of the kitchen.
His mother's wedding tone was made
in a wagon over a corduroy road so
• flooded in places that the water came
into the box of the vehicle. • In con-
clusion, he said that he felt it a real
honor to he the Honorary President of
such an association, cif tae success of
which be was assured.
•• Mr. Robert Holmes said that he be-
lieved the count,y of Huron had eon...
tribnted more, public men to the coun•
try than any other. He instanced the,
Prettier of Ontario and former Prem-
iers of Manitoba and British Columbia.
. Mr. J. S. Willison spoke briefly and,.
in referring to his °face as alonerary
President- said thatwee the most
agreeabje office to which a Man cauld
be elected. There was no work, and it
Was only necessary to look pleasant..
Being bracketed with Col. Otter as
Honorary President; trio, was the
• closest connection with a Military
movement that. he had ever enjoyed.
.He spoke briefly of pioneer life in Hur-
on and questioned if one who had liv-
ed long in the country everbeeame
quite reconciled to life in the city.
• M. Dan. McGillicuddy said that he
wa,9 pleased to know that thelloron
boys and girls formed so important a
ya part ot the city of Toronto. A few
• oicl fellows like himself had been left
out on the shores of Lake Huron to
tread the wine -press alone. But -he
•'Was glad that the city Hurons were
loyal to their old home. The initial
stage of loyalty was a love of home'
which then broadened into a love of
one's county, one's province, one's
Country.
Mr, Archibald Hyslop, M. P. P., de -
dared that be always fourid that Bur-
en people came to the front. He be
lieved a great deal of the success of the
city of Toronto was due to the surplus
talent which had left Huron years ago.
He rejoiced that the merobers of the
association were doing their share for
the upbuilding of a great national
sentithent.
Other brief addresses were made by
President Harston of the Bruce Old
Boy's Association, Mr. Frank Pennock
and Mr. John Leckie. •

IVITSS BARBARA. M. TAYLOR,
FORMERLY OF CLINTON,
BECOMES TUE BRIDE OF
A DAKOTA REGISTRAR.
' •
The following account of the wed.
• cling of Miss. Barbara M. Taylor,for in.
erly of Clinton., daughter of Mrs.
Malcolm Taylor,. and neice of Dr.
n
Taylor of Godecli, is taken from a
Dakota paper:
•" The largest wedding ever celebrat-
ed • in Rolette county occurred lait
evening at the Taylor House, the
contracting •pa.r.ties - being Robert
Fraser and Miss Barbara M. Taylor.
Over one hundred invitations had been
sent out a week before, principally to
People of Rolla and vicinity. Most of
the invitations had been accepted and
at five O'clock, the hour appointed for
the ceremony, the hotel was crowded
with guests. Some unavoidable delays
occurred and it was a little after six
n'alock when RevaD. McIntyre, pastor
of the Presbyterian church or this
place, requested the guests to assemble
in the sample room where the cere-
mony would take 'place. Miss Armi-
tage presided at the piano and played
Lohengrin's vveddiug • march as the
bridal party descended the staircaseand
took their places in the room. The
bride •was tastefully and beautifully
attired° in White silk with,- tongveil.
She wore a few chrysanthemums in her
hair and carried a large boquet in her
hand. She was preceded by the
groom and his best man,Edson Taylor,
brother of the bride, and by little
Elazel Rognas, who carried the wed-
ding ring on a silver tray, Two little
girls, Stella Hoskins and. Anna Shell,
fellowed the bride and supported her
veil. The bride was attended by 'Miss
Anna' Keonbeck, who was charmingly
gowned in light blue silk and perform
ed her part of the ceremony with easy
grace," The groom and best man wore
the regulation black with white gloves,
The beautiful marriage ritlial of the
Presbyterian church was read in an
impressive manner by Rev. D. Mc-
Intyre and at the close of the ceremony
Mr. and Mrs. Fraser were. showered
with congratulations by their- many
friends. The doors of the spacious
dining hall were then thrown open and
the guests were seated at two tables.
extending the entire length of the
room, Flags, bunting and other ap.
proprtate decorations gave a very
pleasing effect to the room, After a
blessing had heen invoked by Mr. Mc-
Intyre the guests began to partake of
the sumptuous feast.
The appointments of • the supper
were rill perfect. Thebridal cake, piled •
four. stories high and twined with
smilax, was a thing of beauty and a
joy—as long as it lasted, Generous
portions of this delicious cake were
passed around the table and then the
bride rose as a signal that the supper
was over.The bridal party, however,
retained their places at the table as
there were other guests yet to enjoy
the feast. It was about nine o'clock
when the last guests arose.
The dining room was then cleared
for danciog. Prof, Peck's orchestra
of Cando was on band and at ten
o'clock the bridal party began the ball
by leading the ,grand march. For
those who did not care t,o dance other
amusements were provided. The click
of the crokinole board both upstairs
and down and the quiet mirth of those
Who found pleasure) in cards howed
that everyone had found something
etijoyable to do, At midnight coffee,
sandwiches and other refreshments
were pessed around.
There was no set time for the guests
to leave. Sonia took their departore
before twelve o'clock, others at two
and still others at four in the morning.
Considered entirely apart from the
principal feature of the occasion, the
wedding, the party was an unique
social success and all ptesent had a
delightful time.
The wedding presents were numer-
ous and valuables an entire room being
necessary for their proper display.
Tire groom has resided here about
eight years and is popular with all who
know him. He was born and educated
Scotlitod, He owns a good farm in
Towner county. For the past year or
two he has been assistant registrar of

himself to be very efficient.
' The bride is a member of the well
known Taylor family. She has resid-
ed hete about seven years. Her genial
disposition and pleasant, manners have
made friends of all who know her,
Mr, and Mrs. Fraser will occupy a
suite of rooms at the Taylor House
