We live in a cottage and when we go out we can see the city of Calgary and the grouses where our three sons live ; we have two daughters in Edmonton. A year from the fourth of February will be the 50th anniversary of our wedding day. I would enjoy seeing some of my old neighbors, but I do not expect to see Ontario again. You will see that Alberta `and Saskatchewan are going to have their own governments. I am sorry Haultain diel not win ; he is a very fine rnan." Yours truly, Abraham Jackson. . Social Gathering. A pleasant evening was spent in the C. 0. C. F. hall on Monday last, when a number of the Chosen Friends and their families met expecting to hear an address by Grand Organizer Camp- bell, of Hamilton. In this however they were disappointed, as instead of that gentleman being here, on his own appointed date, he had evidently made a mistake and taken an east bound train, and turned up in Mont- real when he should have been in Wingham. However, an impromptu program was placed in the hands of Dr. Chisholm, M. P., the Chairman. Brief addresses were given by several present, Mr. Beckwith recited an original rhyme, and three little girls, Clara Mitchell, Ella Mitchell and Flos- sie Orr gave three selections of exer- cise song. Refreshments were served and social conversation enjoyed until abort 11 p.m. Though disappoint- ment was felt, the evening had its pleasing features.

The hearse was next in order, with the bearers, wallciu.g alongside, each carrying boquets. The immediate relatives and friends of deceased came behind, and then the general public. As the procession proceeded the scene was one of deep solemnity, and the dimmed eyes of many spectators pointed plainly to the poignant grief that was everywhere evidenced. Wingham Wins From Harriston. A crowded rink greeted the Har- riston Hockey team on their visit to Wingham for the season. The visitors felt confident of winning the game, and eventually the trophy. They played a good game, but were beaten fairly, in the cleanest game ever played in town. At 7.45, Referee Brown lined the team up and gave them the usual warning. Wingham got the puck from centre, but was blocked by McQueen ; then Johnston slid down the ice, passed to Galloway, who scored, as a cheer rent the air. McLean got the second goal on ti long shot from Harriston cover -point. Harriston boys were working hard, and after Moore had made several hares stops, an easy chance, gave Lucknow and Harriston combination au opportunity to shout, as Ward scored for Harriston, but Hippo, made a clever dodge of the cover - point and landed No. 3, making the score 3-1 at half time. Tho second half started a rapid gait, A shot from McDowell of Harriston struck Moore on the pad, the puck flew to the heart and lit at the Referee's feet, Was caught by Ward, who scored No. 2 for Harriston. No. 4 for Wingham Was landed byElliott,Iiltott+Lni soon after Johnston made the play of the even- ing, and the score stood 5-2 for Wing - ham, Wingham got No. 6 also, as a result of Fleming's good play, but soon after Ward, for Harriston, scor- ed their fourth on what looked like an offside shot. Font minutes rentainecl to play, and in that titno both sides trade every effort to score, Ted El- liott succeeded for the hone team, and the game closed, 7 to 4 in favor of VVinghaun. The line-up was 1--- Wingluun.--ltloore, Wilson, Johnston, McLean, Galloway, Elliott, Fleming. Ilarr•iston —McQueen, Lambe, Bastes, Bennett, Ward, Thistle, McDowell. Referee—Bert Brown, 'Toronto Marl- boros. There was the largest attend- ant() on recotcl, and the eleatltest game of hockey ever played on local ice.
