The regular meeting of the Bluevale
Branch of the Woman'l; Institute will
be held at the bon,. •`f. Mrs. 1. B.
Scott, on Thursday, March 8th, at 2.30
p.m. sharp. They subject will he
"Dressmaking with demonstrations"'
by Mrs, L. Ruttan. "Simplifying Ilocise-
work" by Mrs. II. Diment. All ladies
cordially invited,
Peacefully came the close of this life
to Mrs. Joseph Sellers at her home here
Monday, March 22nd. She had been
poorly for several months and a:. et-
, tack of pneumonia proved more then
'she could withstand. Her m:tiden
i( 'name was Margaret Ostr, her birth-
place York Co. Ont., where ,he spent her girlhood, She was married to her i
now bereft partner 53 years ag) in To- ';*
,. '.unto end after living in Kin;; township
i came to the 1st in of Morris township j
t4 42 years ago. The surviving children s

ire: Joel IL, W. and liven. of I li

P, , lurvey and Mrs Chas, 'Purvey, of ",
15! I Morris; and 1,lrs. John Bosnian, of i
((g, i Brandon, Man. A daughter and 3 send i
bij are deceased. Mr., Sellers was highly I
E) I esteemed and was a good hearted, i co
)) !kindly, indu ,trot's woman, ever ready
to do a good turn, beloved by her family
and friends. She was in her 71th year'
1) and with her husband retired from the
'I) farm 3 years ago.
The Bluevale storekeepers are wear-
ing that broad smile these days because
the debate last week on the subject,
"Resolved that Departmental Stores
are a detriment to Canada" was de-
cided in the affirmative. The winning
debaters were Vermon Miller, Ilarold
Thompson and Art. Shaw, but the
young ladies on the opposing side, Miss
Helen Black, Miss Lila Gray and Mrs.
Howard Stewart, were commended by
the judges for their excellent papers.
The debate was on a subject in which
everyone ib interested and the arguments
ware closely followed by the audience.
This was the closing meeting of the
Literary Society for the present season
as it has been found impossible to en-
gage the noted lecturer with whom it
was hoped to bring the season to a
close. It was one of the most enjoyable
meetings ever held by the Literary
Society, however, a special pleasure be-
ing the numbers by Miss Della Mitcheil
and Mr. R. A. Currie of Wingham.
Mis., Mitchell gave a fine rendering of
riotie poems by- Pauline Johnston
and Kipling and was still better in her
two humorous numbers which could
hardly have been better done. Mr.
Currie in his monologue, "Cohen at the
'Phone," and the little boy's bear story
which he gave as an encore delighted
his hearers. These two talented enter-
tainers have made a decided hit with
the Literary Society. Two other read-
ings were given, "Call All Hands" by
Mrs. Jos. Breckenridge, and "How
Rubenstein Played" -by Miss Polly Duff.
A violin and piano duet, "Summer
Slumber" by Miss Annie Diamond and
Miss Lillian McCall was warmly' encored
as was Miss McCall's beautiful piano
solo and Miss Carrie Diamond's song,,
"The Little Grey Home in the West."
The closing meeting was marlred by in-
teresting reports and speeches by
President Haney and other members
reviewing the pleasant and successful
work of the past and offering suggestions
for still further progress 'in the future.
Before dispersing the audience joined in
the'society chorus, "Good -Bye."

A very pleasant event occured in
Grey township on Wednesday, March
17th, (St. Patrick's Day) when the
children and grandchildren gathered at
the home of Jno. and. Airs. Dougherty,
Con. 12, one of the early settlers to
celebrate the 50th anniversary of their
wedding. Though taken entirely by
surprise Mr. and Mrs. Dougherty wel-
comed their guests in their usual kindly
way and greetings having been exchang-
ed a bounteous repast was spread to
which all sat down. Dining table was
handsomely decorated with carnations
and bridal roses and a choice wedding
cake. Having satisfied the wants of
the inner man the bride of 50 years Cut
the cake. After dinner, in behalf of
the family, Mrs. Oldfield, of Melancthon,
and R. J. Dougherty ,presented their
mother with a gold Watch and chain
and to their father an ebony cane with
gold band and a pearl tie pin in remem-
brance of the occasion with many
hearty good wishes for the future years
to enjoy them. Mr. Dougherty made a
brief reply in behalf of himself and his
life partner The afternoon was spent
in social chat, games and reminiscences
until a late hour when all returned to
their several homes. A happy feature
of the event was the receipt in the
morning, of a beautiful bouquet of jon-
quills and roses from Mrs. I. Taylor, of
Hamilton, whish were much appreciat-
ed. Mr, and Mrs. Dougherty were
atownship, Ont ,

last of the pioneers of this part and
have seen the country cleared and
brought to its present high state of
cultivation.

place at the home of Mrs. Alex. For-
rest, lst line, Morris, . on March 17th,
when her youngest daughter, Diary E ,
was united in the holy bonds of matri-
mony to Martin Kerr, a prosperous
young gentleman, of Birch Run, Mich.
Promptly at 3 o'clock to the str sins of
Lohengrin's Wedding March played by
Mrs. S. Johnston, sister of the bride,
the young couple took their places before
a beautiful arch of white lilies and ever-
greens andRev. D. D Thompson, pastor
of the Methodist church, Bluevale, tied
the matrimonial knot. The bride who
was given away by her brother, Chas,

satin and deep shadow lace with a fine
embroidered veil and orange blossoms,
and carried a large baguet of white
roses which altogether made a picture
not soon forgotten by any of the guests,
to the number of 75, who witnessed the
n
ceremony. After congratulations and
the signing of the register all sat down
to a delicious.wedding supper, prepared
in Mrs. Forrest's usual bountiful way
and served by a competent company of
waiters and waitresses. After supper

social chat, singing and musical selec-
tions on the pianola until the young
people began to arrive
when the dining
room was cleared and about 60 young
friends helped to enjoy the occasion by
taking pat•t in the reception held that
night. The gifts were costly and very
numerous, showing the high esteem in
which the bride was held. All join in Hay per ton.. ....... • .14 00 to 15 UJ
