The delightful winter weather is en- joyed by all. The mild days save the fuel yet they are unfavourable for the thresher who has much clover to sep- arate . In this district the yield of red clov- er is better than it has been for seve- ral years. All roads led to Victoria Square on Saturday afternoon to witness the second church wedding since the build- ing of the church in 1880. Friends of the bride and groom filled the church to see the knot tied. May we suggest that others follow their example. Dame rumour reports that in the near future the weddingbells will ring two or three times. These reports make our pastors smile. A rather unique communion service was held here on Sunday afternoon, Seventeen members were received, five by card of transfer and twelve for the first time. Both our pastors were present. Rev. W. Haig gave the ser- mon on the “Lords Supper.” Rev. A.A. Wall gave a short address to the young communicants. His words were practical, helpful and inspiring. Just one less than one hundred were at the Lord’s Supper. Just when so many were present before we cannot recall. Such a service is not only an inspiration to the pastors but to all members and adherents it is indeed en- couraging. Mrs. Chas. Wellman. Miss Marjorie Messrs George, Harold and Chester Wellman, formerly of Gray, Saskat- chewan are spending a few days with friends here. They plan to settle in Toronto shortly. The sale of Mr. George Hunt was well attended on Saturday afternoon. Record prices were received. One pair of grade cows sold for $300.

On Tuesday morning he mounted his spirited driver “Lady” and enjoyed a lively ride in the fresh air. As lady was crossing the rough ground along the creek at the back of the farm she made a misstep and Francis found himself on the ground with his leg twisted under him. Lady returned to the stable and her rider managed to walk a few paces, but at length his leg gave out. Mr. James Carrie. on finding Lady riderless at the door re- ported the fact to Mr. Brumwell seni- or, who set out through the fog to in vestigate. He found the injured man and brought him to the house. A doctor was summoned and pronounced his trouble, 3 broken bone. He is resting easily. His many friends trust that the bone soon knits.
