A Happy Silver, Wedding
Celebration
On Sunday last May3rd,Mr. and
O Y
Mrs. A. D. McCartney celebrated the
Silver anniversary of their marriage,
when they entertained about thirty
of their friends and relatives to an
evening dinner. A lovely bouquet
of rosea centered the beautifully -laid
dining table and the . dinner was a
very happy and social affair. A
toast to the bride of twenty-five
years ago was proposed by Rev. 'C.
J. Moorhouse of Brussels, a former
pastorofOntario street of which the
couple ;are members, this being re-
plied to in Mr. McCartney's happiest
manner.
Mr. and Mrs. McCartney were mar-
ried at the home of the bride's par-
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Livermore
of the -London rbacl, the officiating
clergyman being the Rev. T. Wesley
Cosens, and' at the celebration on
Sunday the two witnesses, Mrs. Nay,
who was formerly Miss Tillie 1)1e-
Cartney, the bridegroom's sister, and
Mr. Albert Livermore, the bride's
brother, were both present, Setting
up housekeeping in Clinton they have
resided here ever since and have
hosts of friends.
Guests present included Rev. and
Mrs. Moorehouse, Brussels; Mr. and
Mrs. G. S. 'Chapman and son Ross,
Mrs. C. Madsen arid son, Clinton,
Toronto; Mr. and Mrs. A. Livermore
and daughters, Iris and Dorothy,
Mimico; Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Howes
and children, Janet, .John and David,
I3arriston; Mr. and Mrs. G. McCart-
ney and son, Bruce, Woodstock; Mrs.
T. Nay, Mrs. Geo. Hanley, Mr. Geo.
Cantelon, Clinton, and Mr. and Mrs..
Adam Cantelon, - Goderich township.
Another pleasing feature of the
happy family gathering was the fact
that it was' the twelfth 'birthday of
Miss' Janet Howes, - the bride's niece,
and she arranged a birthday party
for the little lady, a table as prettily
set as the-larger'one, at which the
yoting lady played hostess, , with
birthday cake and everything. Alto-
gether it was a very pleasant and en-
joyable -gathering.
o tes
The host arid, h shad requested
s
q
that no gifts be given, but this was
a law neon honored in the breach,
than in the observance, - for all: the
guests brought lovely gifts, among
them., being a beautiful silver tea
service on a tray, the number being
too many to name: them: all.
Twenty-five years ago this paper
said: '
• "The News -Record, on' behalf' of
our citizens, welcomes the young con
,ple" to town and joins with their
friends in•:wishing them an abundance.
of happiness and prosperity."
And we take pleasure in repeating
that wish on this happy ' occasion.
May they be as happy and prosperous
when the time for the ,Golden :Wed-
ding, comes around.

Missions, writes to The New Outlook
about a former Clintonboyas fol -
b a
lows:
"A. unique bit of work in character
building and Canadian citizenship is
carried on by Mr. Frecl Sloman, who
is in charge of the school car serving
the educational needs of the children
of scattered families along the Cana-
dian National Railway between Cap -
reel and Foleyet. This school car
also the home of Mr. Sloman and his
family and the social centre of these
small communities where it has its
temporary stay. Lonely section men
and their families are often. depen-
dent on the versatile Mr. Slo ran for
their Imewledge of the outside world
and their entertainment. .It would be
of great assistance in his work if Mi.
Sloman could procure . a projector
with a short -focus lens. If any friend
of lonely and under -privileged chil-
dren wants to bring them 'pleasure
and delight, here is a fine opportun-
ity, I will be glad to give addition-
al information if that is desired. I
