•weddings was solemnized at two
o’clock on Saturday afternoon at the

The, ceremony was performed by

Miss Adeline Batson, sister of the
groom.
The bride wore a lovely gown of
white taffeta- with tight bodice and
silver lace cape collar trimmed with
rhinestones, and long full skirt of
picoted ruffles with uneven hemline.
Her veil of filmy tulle was caught
in cape effect and held with a wreath
of orange blossoms, ending in a long
train with satin streamers. Silver
kid slippers with matching hose com
pleted the brides’ ensgmble. Her
bouquet was of Ophelia, roses, lily-
of-the-valley and mauve sweet peas.
A rope of pearls and the groom’s
gift, a silver wrist watch, were her
only ornaments.
Attending, her . were., two brides
maids,' Miss Viola Wight, of London
and Miss Graefe Rorrison, of Chat
ham, gowned alike in pastel pink
georgette. They wore black picture
hats and black satin slippers with
hose to match and carried a bouquet
of pink carnations,- sweet peas and
baby’s breath, tied with streamers
'to match their gowns. Little Misses
Doris Harvey and Helen Buswell,
neices of the bride, were pretty flow
er girls dressed alike in pale peach
crepe-de-chene carrying a basket of
sweet peas and, snap dragons. The
groom was supported by Mr. E. C.
Harvey, brother of the bride.
Immediately following the cere
mony during the signing of the re
gister Miss Viola Wight sang in her
beautiful voice ‘.Because.”
After, the ceremony a buffet
luncheon, was served. The bride's
table was centred with a large wedd
ing cake and at one end was a beau
tiful large basket of roses and baby’s
breath given 4by Mr. and Mrs. J. S.
Harvey, uncle and aunt of the bride,
and opposite tall old gold tapers in
silver holders gave a pleasing ef
fect.
Rev. D. McTavish proposed the
toast to the bride to which the
groom responded.
The gifts to the bridesmaid, who
were also graduates of Alma College
were oil paintings done bjj the bride
for her chums. To the pianist a
silver compact, to the flower girls
a bracelet and. ring, and to the best
man a belt. The bride was the re
cipient of many beautiful presents
including a handsome French clock,
the gift of the Women’s Institute.
Latei* Mr, and Mrs. Batson left
for a motor trjp to'Toronto, Ottawa
and Montreal amid showers of con
fetti, the bride travelling in a smart
ensemble of cinnamon lace and
crepe-de-chene with gloves, slippers
and hose to match. Her large hat
was of mohair trimmed with velvet
and she carried an English calf purse
and leather hat box in perfect'
matching tones. On their return

Reeve C. B. Snell states that
hardly a day passes but that some
one asks him about the proposal
for putting down permanent roads
on the side streets of Exeter. Dur
ing the last four yeans Exeter has
spent nearly $25,000 on the roads
and streets of Exeter which wocild
have gone a long way toward per
manent Improvement. Mr. Spell has
interviewed several engineers and

roads in Exeter would save the cit
izens considerable money in their
taxes each year. One of the engin
eers interviewed has agreed to come
to Exeter and address a public
meeting and it ts^suggested that a
public meeting be held some time
’n the hear future.
