TURN BERRY WEDDING
A quiet but pretty event took place
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. J.
McKague, Turnberry, on Wednesday,
August 18th, when their daughter,
Elizabeth May, was united in mar-
riage to Hugh Whitten Klazer, Tor-
onto, Rev. Dr. Perrie officiating. Miss
Louise .Klazer played the Wedding
March. Only immediate relatives of
tfitc .bride-ane--groom--Were- present.-
After a short trip to the United
State the young couple will reside
in Toronto.
MAKING THEM SAFE
We notice by the Ottawa Farm
Journal that the new Parliament
Buildings have been equipped with'
lightning rods, a fact which indicates
that the "powers that be" have faith
in this protection frotn lightning.
The rod used is the Shinn Flat copper
rod. Prof. Day, formerly of the
O.A.C., had the contract and looked
after the work. The extent of the
building is suggested by the fact that
5,000 feet of cable and 1,200 brick
brackets have been used.
It is surprising how many farm
buildings are yet unequipped with
rods when it has been so well aemon-
strated that a building properly rod-
ded is practically immune from light-
ning.

The tax rate for the town of Port
Elgin was fixed at 4'i mills -7 mills
higher than it was in 1919. The jump
is due largely to increased school ex-
penditure. The Port Elgin Council
evidently has nerve.
That this issue of The Sentinel is
one day late in going to subscribers
is explained by the fact that our lino-
type operator was off duty for a few
days owing to a severely . sprained
ankle.
The concert in the Town Hall Labor
Day commences at8, p.m. We assure

Hellysaan--Penrose.—At St. Steph-

Monday, Aug: 30th, 1920, by the. Rev.

of Toronto, to Edgar, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Houymaa, et Weptai, Eng.
THE COST STAGGERS
Everybody is delighted with the
idea of having Hydro Electric .current
for lighting and power in town with-
in a few months. But there is much
hesitati?n about wiring up to take ad-
vantage of the current when it is
available. Everybody thought they
lould have the lights in, but when
they get figures on the cost of wiring.
and fixtures,they are somewhat stag-
gered, and there is a tendency to hes-
itate. Complete wiripg of ordinary
houses runs all the way from $100 to
$250, and. another hundred' dollars
may be added for good fixtures.
This disappointment is unfortun-
ate, but it is ncst likely that conditions
will be much better for a year or
two,. and it would be as well for those
who intend using the lights to get
busy and have the wiring done'while
men are offering to do it.

1N11IANS IN TOWN
It is a long time since represe+htat-
ives of the vanishing race of "red
men" were familiar upon the streets
of Lucknow. • Only the few remain-
ing pioneers will remember their vis
its, years ago, when there were more
stumps• than houses in Lucknow. .
.Now they are here again. But
what different nien, and under what
different condition's. Quite a number
have been in town the past few weeks,
and it, is said that a number of famil-
ies will remain for a part of the win-
ter to work in the flax mills. They
have been at work on the flax since
the harvest opened about five weeks
ago.
'hese Indians'come from the .Bruce
County Reserves near Southampton,
where they make their living by
farming. They are all more or less
educated, and have abandoned the
wild life of their ancestors for the
pursuits of the white man -in short
they have attained a very consider-
able degree of civilization.
It will be remembered that every fit
man from thee reserves went over-
seas in Khaki during the war.
SLOW IN 'WIRING
Attention of business men is called'
to the fact that at this date only one
business place is wired to Hydro
standard -T. Reid's bakery . , store,
The Commission have been making
inquiry as to ' the progress of this
work so that it is not encouraging to
have to report as above. The Coun-
cil feel that business should be alive
to the situation.
Four expert men have canvassed
for business. Two of these were un-
able to even secure one job. It will
be serious for the village if lack of
interest by our citizens is th.e means
of spending another winter in dark-
ness.
