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.

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." i ) 4' 4i4, '4i 'N '41 • iu Ili '41 141 \4l r. ``1,,iHANNA & COMPAN N1 Mail Orders Promptly Filled 'Phone 70 if/ 44.

LIICKNOW After months of suffering from cancer of the tongue. and throat, James Mc- Clusky, a resident of Wheeler street' died on Tuesday of last week. His con- dition had been very bad for several weeks, so that his death was daily ex- pected. He was in his 64th year and was one of the old-time residents of the village. Besides a widow he leaves one daughter and one son — Emma and James, both at home. Mr. P. H. MacKenzie, of Kinloss, has received a letter from his son, Sergt.- Major MacKenzie, M.

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 , married in Holland w nshi p, , in 1865 and eame almost direct:y to what was then known in older Ontario as "The bush."
