'PHONE 70 1 WINGHA3I TIMES* .;DItCI* li!BER 191,3 BI.UEVAI♦.Er A pretty wedding was solemnized at the home -of Mrs. Lauchlin Fraser, liet line of Morris, on Saturday, Nov. 22nd, when her daughter,' Miss Margaret, was united in marriage to Robert Nich- olson, a prosperous farmer of the 4th. line Morris. Promptly at 6 o'clock the wedding party entered the parlor to the strains of the Bridal chorus, played by Mrs, Cooke and Rey, J. E. Cooke tied the nuptial knot. Bride was tasteful- ly dressed in white silk with light blue dots trimmed with baby Irish lace and insertion. The home was prettily decor- ated with chrysanthemums and carna- tions. After congratulations a dainty luncheon was served, The evening was spentin social chat, parlour games &c„ all returning to their respective homes wishing Mr. and Mrs, Nicholson many happy years in their hew home. Many beautiful presents received testified to the high esteem in which Miss Fraser is held in the community. Friday evening, Nov. 21st, the young people of the choir of the Ebenezer church, waited on Miss Fraser at her home and presented her with a Limoge tea set, bridal rose design. H.

HURON COUNTY BUST- i St, Andrew's Bible class has been NESS MEN'S ASSOC!. ATION. AR l ICLES ON PROHIBITION No. 6 Peo1J' may wonder why we are tak- ing such pains to place our views before the public on this question of Prohibi- tion. Our reason is two -fold --one sel- fish, if you will; the other unselfish. The selfish reason is, that we have a deep-rooted aversion to being treaters like children by a lot of old women, we believe in personal liberty as regards eating .and drinking, we do not ever seek in any degree to interfere with others, and we desire in commonest justice that they mind their own busi- ness, and leave us alone. Therefore we fight and ever -.will fight prohibition for ourselves. The second reason, the unselfish one, is, pity for others, who generally are in ignorance as to what prohibition is, what it produces, or the superiority of Weil -regulated license laws. And hence our unselfish desire to teach them the truth. With regard to our first reason: the personal liberty idea. Is it not about time that men took a decided stand upon this question, Where are we drifting? Where will we end? Up to now, the majority have been inclined to let things go along., Temperance leg- islation did not seem to hurt anybody seriously. It did appear to please a certain faction in our midst. It looked ,o some as though td this certain fac- tion temperance legislation was their religion, their idol, their everything. And so, as we said, things drifted along. But they will drift t.no longer. Many are now beginning to see that this cer- tain faction we have referred to are not going to be satisfied with a few laws restricting the sale of intoxicants being placed on the statute book, Anti the time has come to put an end to the actions of this faction. Why? Be- cause these good Veople, this certei.i faction, say that they have set them- selves a goal, an end, an aim, short of which they will never stop. And that 1 is, the total suppression of the menu- facture. sale and importation of alco- holic beverages. Is th t' all? At a comparatively recent eting in To- ronto, of some of this etion, one dear misguided brother arse in his place, and moved a li resoltston to the effect that it was ron actually wrong; to grow the per lei O& leaf of the tobacco plant! -and fk%our readers can credit such nonsense, it was carried! Next thing we will hear of will be legislation applied for to prohibit the production of tobacco! At the same meeting, it was further suggested by a brother who possessed reason and logic, if not grim humour, that if tobacco be not grown, it was equally desirable to stop the • growth of rye, barley and corn! This latter idea, however logical, sen- sible and commendable from their standpoint, was too far advanced for the Majority,s� it didn't: passt ""If all 'this were not too serious, as indicating the insane lengths to which men can carry a fad, it would be exquisitely and deli- cately humourous. It is no straining of the imagination to say that we will shortly hear of legislation to prohibit the use of tea, coffee, snuff, cards, theatres, meat and what else? Did we say meat? A very favourite argument, if not their one great argument from Scripture, is the saying of St. Paul that if wine made his brother to offend he would drink no wine. The same Apostle however also said that if meat made his brother to offend, he would eat no meat! And meat undoubtedly does make many brothers to offend—so why not be reasonable, honest, logical, and prohibit the use of meat, as well as drink? Vegetarians consider the use of meat most pernicious. Doctors will tell you, if they care to divulge profes- sional experiences, that easily, seventy per cent. of those who come to them "feelingill," are simply the victims of over -eating, injudicious eating or both; and that the too great use of meat among us Canadians is an evil. Then, in the name of reason why not PROHI- BIT it. It's an evil—that surely should be reason enough to apply the sovereign cure of PROHIBITION. We are one, up to a certain point, with so-called Temperance people. We agree with them that the misuse of alcoholic beverages is a horrible thing. They cannot tell us anything about the horror of it. We all know it. We do not need to be told. But there at that point is where we part company. Por we both earnestlydesite to do what can be done to remedy this horrible evil, And we stoutly maintain that prohibi- tion is a cursed fallacy; a weapon of the Devil, whereby he blinds men's eyes, deceiving them into the belief that in legislating; Prohibition they are pro- moting (what he hates) temperance Next week we hope to have some- thing to omethingto say about the second re'as n mentioned at the commencement, enil state some of the etrects of Prohibition. Before closing, may we express the hope that our brothers of the PrehihE- bition Party will take up our challenge issued in our second paper. Surely it cannot be that they do not wish their disciples to hear both sides. Respectfully, THE HURON' COUNTY BUSINESS MEN'S A.SSOCIA.TION. Jolter RANS1'ORD, President. Wm. JACKSON, Secretary.

Jackson, of Toronto, traveller for the Standard Co., spent a few days under the parental roof, at the home of Jno. Jackson. S. A. and Mrs. Snell, of Grey an- nounce the engagement of their third daughter, Christena B., to Robert A. Watson, of Morris, the marriage to take place quietly on Dec. 106. Miss Jean Stewart, who spent 11 months in the Old Country, arrived back greatly benefitted by her visit. She landed at Old London, visited at Overton, England for several months and spent Christmas at Bognor, then to Dumfries and Dalbeattie. In July Miss Stewart went to Ayrshire and put in many cheery hours at Alloway where old scenes of Robbie Burns were visited and enjoyed every hour of her stay in Scotland. The harvest was good in the Old Land this year but Miss Stewart says that help is hard to obtain. The actions of some of the emigration agents from Canada is not valued very highly as some of the ideas sought to be im- pressed are erroneous in the extreme and bound to bring disappointment to those who believe them. One thing very noticeable was the splendid char- acter of the roads. Owing to the illness of Frank Bryans with typhoid fever (whom we are pleas- ed to say is making favorable progress) Miss. Ruby Clegg has been supplying hist position as teacher in the Miller School, 5th line and will likely finish out the present term up to Christmas. Now that the contracts are let for the Rural mail routes on the 3rd and 4th and 5th and 6th lines itis expected that this modern convenience will soon be in vogue. Edward Lowery, of Brussels, and A. Adams, 5th line, are the re- spective contractors with whom the people of those routes expect to become better acquainted. A misfortune befell Edward Wilson, familiarly known as "Ned," who makes his home at S. Walker's, 6th line. He had a troublesome knee, but he was so anxious to get about he slipped and fell breaking his left leg. He is now laid up entirely, Mr. Wilson is an old time resident having been employed by S. Walker, sr., over 50 years ago, although he was frequently away from munici- p.lity in the passing years. Through the decease of a brother he became heir to sufficient to keep him comfortable for the rest of Ms natural life. Old friends will be sorry to hear of his accident, Toronto, Dec. 1—Union Stock Yards Receipts were 166 cars, with 3,205 cattle, 306 calves, 1,712 hogs. and 2,456 sheep and lambs. The market opened for the week strong and active for all grades of cattle.

Several loads of good heavy steers, 1,200 to I,300 lbs. sold to -day at $8.25, while $8 was paid in many places.
