with her mother and other relatives,
returned to her home on Tuesday.
Her many friends wish her it safe trip.
She will be accompanied by her bro-
ther, Donald McDonald, who purposes

Mrs. Jos. Coombes entertained a
number of her young lady friends last
Thursday at five o'clock pan. A most
elegantly prepared tea was partaken
of and the rest of the evening spent
in music and social chat. Although
Mr. and Mrs. Coombes have celebrat-
ed their golden wedding, they make
number one host and hostess, All are
unanimous in wishing the old couple
many years of health.
Last Tuesday night, despite the in-
clemency of the weather, the people
of this loeality turned out in large
numbers to Ethel to heat the debate
between Roe's and Ethel Epworth
Leagues --"Resolved that warriors
have done more for civilization than
statesmen," Owing to one of the cap-
tains not being able to attend, the
other side dropped off one, which left
two, and we must sity both sides did
well. The capable judges gave their
decision in favor of the affirmative
(Roe's League). A short program was
given. The young people of this
League have worked up great enthu-
siasm through their debates and wo
hope they continue, as there could be
no more profitable way of spending a
social evening than by debating and
brightening the yoturg minds. Ar-
rangements are being made for an-
other in the near future.
