flcuoitlng Development V The development of a peat industry at is causing quite a stir in the northern part of Ontario Coun ty and awakening considerable in trade centres of the Province The Ontario Government whose mem bers take a lively interest in any and every enterprise calculated to develop Ontarios resources sent Mr Car ter secretary of the Bureau of Mines to last week where Mr Alex Dobbin is producing eight to ten tons per day of peat The whole of his product is locally con sumed Mr Carter brought back a number of samples for analysis and from a cursory examination is well pleased with the peat as a fuel The Peat beds along the Holland river should now attract the atten tion of capitalists The home trade would consume an extensive output as the analysis already made proves that the peat is of excellent quality Here is a chance for some enterprising man with small capital to start a sure thing to make money Royal Visitors The special train carrying the Roy al Visitors is expected

Sept 27th While the present month has been very fruitful in weddings one that possessed a character all its own was that celebrated at on Thurs day afternoon at the residence of Mrs James Wright Norwich street It was a double wedding when Miss Rachel Wright became the bride of Mr Joseph To veil and Miss Agnes Wright was united to Mr Herb Connie The marriage was celebrated in the parlor of the residence which with the rest of the house had been very prettily decorated with flowers ever green and hunting The ceremony was performed by Rev Dr Cornish It is a peculiar coincidence that Rev Dr Cornish was also the officiating clergyman when Mr Herbert Wright brother of the brides and Mrs Wright and Dr and Mrs were married this also being a double wed ding About fifty guests witnessed the ceremony for the most part rela tives of the contracting parties Among those from a distance were Mr Mrs Jackson New market Mr Isreal Kelly and Mr Ernest Kelly West Miss Clarke of Woodstock Mr and Mrs Watt Salem Miss Nellie Wright Mr and Mrs Dun- das and Mr and Mrs Gall During the entry of the brides Mr Edgar Jackson of Newmarket play ed Mendelssohns March and at the conclusion of the ceremony and coni Departure March The brides were given away by their brother Mr Wright After the ceremony a dainty luncheon was served the diningroom nephews and cousin of the brides acting as waiters brides were remem bered by their friends with a large number and costly gifts Instrumental music was also render ed while refreshments were being serv ed by Miss Clarke of Woodstock Miss of and Miss Sun- Icy of this city Mr and Mrs Tovell and Mr and Mrs left- by the evening trains on their wcddfng tours after which they will return and take up housekeeping the city Rest On Wednesday afternoon an old re sident this place away in the person Mrs Daniel who was iri her year and whose husband died over years ago The old lady has been very poorly for over a year and was very attentively cared for by her maiden daughter She has been gradually growing weak er and a few days ago fell to the in crossing the bedroom Wheth er this hastened her death or not is purely conjecture as there was noth ing to show that she received any injury She was a faithful member St Pauls Church The funeral will take place at oclock this after noon interment at Newmarket Ceme tery Last Saturday was an epoch day the history of Acton when the citi zens sealed their loyalty and recog nized the bravery of one of her sons Gunner Moore of Battery who died in South Africa by unveiling a mas sive granite monument suitably en graved in the presence of peo ple which included the artil lery two companies volunteers the Georgetown military band and the Acton citizens band Appropriate addresses were delivered by military officers members of parliament and others The monument is placed at the entrance to the Cemetery and is another tribute to the influence of the Free Press the cost being provided by voluntary subscriptions thru its columns The Cemetery is corporation pro perty and is under the control of the Council The site is a wise choice nature having done much which will add to its future beauty There are acres enclosed and a natural grove at the rear at a high elevation forms a beautiful background It is only or years since it was surveyed but there has been great development and the public take great interest in it as manifested by the numerous flowers and wellkept grass plots last Saturday which should he an incen tive for an annual Decoration Day not yet established by the Acton people We also commend to their considera tion the adoption the Statutory Permanent Care of Lots Fund as are told that already number of burials have taken place and no friends remain to look after their graves This ensures perpetual attention where ever adopted and a Cemetery which today is such a credit to Acton should use every facility for its future repute CORNER Baking Powder is Absolutely Pure The
