Casemore, loth. con. of Turnberry, went for the cows on Thursday evening, she was surpris- ed. and horrified to find their best cow dead. The animal was shot through the heart. It is just about five weeks ago that Mr. Casemore's dog was shot. Evidently someone is working for a jail sentence and the country at large would be better off if they were. accomodated very soon. Aside from the cruelty of the affair, it is a hard- ship for any one to lose a valuable cow, worth seventy-five dollars, and who would not be sore to find their faithful dog shot. There is certainly sonie irrespon- sible parties carrying fire arms and ev- en human life is not safe while they are allowed to continue such depreda- tions as these. .. Simpson—Conn Nuptials A very happy event took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. H. Conti of the 4th., Con. of Kinloss on Wednesday, Sept. 23, when the marr- iage of their eldest daughter, Lula to Mr. A.

After the marriage ceremony the guests sat' down to a dainty -wedding dejenner, after which Rev. Jas. Sco- bie, gave a splendid toast to the bride to which Mr. Simpson fittingly replied. In the evening a reception was held and the many' friends played games and danced until the wee sma' hours of the morning. Among those pres- ent from a distance, were: Mr. Irwin,' M. P. and Mrs. Irwin and son and Miss Knox of St. Marys, Miss Maude Conn of Toronto and others front London, Detroit and Chicago. The great number and costliness of the presents attested to the esteem h which the bride and groom are held in this community.
