On Thursday e0.1f last week a very pleasant and sod= gathering took place at the resideno: of Mr, and Mrs. Wm. Linklater, sr., 0= at Wawanosh, the occasion being the .elebration of the fiftieth anniversary of their wedding day. The marriage was first celebrated in Pomona, Orkney Isles, Scotland, on the 29th of Decembsr, 1855. The newly married couple so In after sailed for Canada and on the 20th of June, 1856, settled on the far ni where they have since resided. The country was then a forest, but througl persevering energy and toil, they hav s prospered, making for themselves a canfortable home, and having also the ple ;sure of seeing there family in well -to -d. circumstances. One of the pleasing fea. ares of the event was the presentation las the members of the family of two ea isr chairs, the kind hopes that the ageg father and mother might be long spat Id to enjoy their com- fort. Mr. and Mr Linklater, although advanced in yea , are still in good health, cousiderin4 their experience of all the labour an arn4 hardship of pioneer life. That they z4iy live to see many returns of their w &ling anniversary is the earnest wish land prayer of their large circle of frieijda and acquaintances. Among those pres4nt on this happy oc- casion was Mrs. J hn Currie Sr., who performed the du'es of bridesmaid fifty years ago. Othets besides the family and relatives were Mr. and Mrs. Zanies Bayne, Kineardin -s; the Rev. and Mrs. D. Perrie, Wingh an. A Happy New Year to one and all Walton MeKibbon DRUCCIST. WIX(31/AM.

Voting in the mun oipal elections took place on Monday. an the fact of the county conuoil e]entit3js taking place at the same time, added nterest to the pro- ceediugs, As stated ast week, there were eight oaudidates u the field. for thu council in Wingham id the friends of eaoh were very active during the day, with the result that a large vote was re- corded. Tan defeat of Mr. 7.1. M. Gordon, a man of considerable municipal experi- euce, and au ex -Mayo • of the town, is rather to he regretted , as he would no doubt have made au efficient representa- tive. Of the four tneml1ers of last year's council who sought r -election, Messrs, Armstrong, Bell and reer were elected, Mr. Millikin belug deeated, It may be said, however, that t143 latter gentleman was not auxieue tor tt e position and pat forth little effort in hil behalf. Looking over the personnel of the council -elect for 1905 it must be observ- ed that they are all practical, business men, in whom the atairs of the town may well be trusted.
