The nomination for County Com- missioners held here on Monday last in accorcance with the statutes in that behalf was the tamest we ever witnessed in connection with our Municipal Government. The repre- sentation was small, the hall being barely half filled, an evidence we would say that the maple are either disinterested in our County Govern- ment, or are perfectly satisfied with the administration of Messrs. Mc- Kinnon and Brigham who have rep- resented" us during the past two years. Messrs McKinnon, Brigham, Ries, Binnie and Calder were the nominees but as the last two gentle- men eXpressed their wish to retire from the contest the selection lies in the choice of two men out of the first three. Messrs. McKinnun and Brigham were the first speakers and endeavored to give an explanation of several matters in connection with the County management. Mr. Ries was next, and, if his administration is no better than his platform elfort, it would be the hight of folly to send him up as a county represenrrtive, to replace either of the other men. Mr. Binnie spoke briefly, showing an intelligent conception of County matters. but feeling more contented at home he declined to take the field. Mr. Calder intimated also that he had no intention of oflering himself as a candidate this time. ‘ 22 '- 45 “ 25 Rainfall, nil. Snowfall, only light flurries on the 16th and 20th inst.

Johnston, Principal of Cannington School, whose marriage notice appears elsewhere. gave us a call during his brief stay in town. Mr. J. is an old SChOk‘l mate of Ye Editor, and though twenty-two years have passed since we ate and drank and slept together, we were able to refresh each others memories with many old reminiscences. We were boys then, good workers, good feed- 61's and oh, how handsome! Notwith- standing the lapse of time. the various and trying vicissitudes through which we passed, and the many other evrls that flesh is heir to. we haven’t lost our appetites, and even to-day we could tackle a quar- ter of mutton or an eighteen pound turkey without any apprehension that the fragments would be of much value. Mr. Hugh McArthur, after an ab- sence of four years in Botineau. North Dakota‘ returned last week to spend a couple of months with his parents and friends in Glenelg. In a short interview we learned that he likes the country well, and will re- turn early in March. Botineau is only twelve miles from the Manitoba boundary line, and the soil and climate are somewhat similar to the Canadian North-West. Farming is carried on extensively with good re turns generally. Last 4th of July Mr. McArthur tells us, wheat sown in the spring had not come through the soil. On the 5th rain came and a yield of ten bushels to the acre was the result. Prof. Ke-we-ta-ka-zhig. Native In- dian Doctor from the Suugeen Indian Reserve, is Spending some time with Mr. Chas.

Mr. Neil McKechnie left Wednes- day for Detroit on business in con- nection with the proposed cement industry. which, notwithstanding the pessimestic views of some of our readers, is going to materialize for sure. Mr. Arthur Laid’law is holidaying with his parents in town. Since the close of the School of Science in Toronto, where he has been in attend- ance, he visited in Deeeronto. Ont., and Cement City. Michigan. At the latter place he was shown through the works, and has learned some- thing of the various Operations in connection with the manufacture of Cement. TO cm A com I]! on DAY.

NEW MILLINERY. 37 33 27 20 It is customery to say the bride looked handsome and in this case it can be said without any perversion of the truth. She was neatly attired in a white corded silk dress trimmed with chiffon, ribbon and pearls. The veil was fastened with white bridal roses. A bouquet of pink and white roses was carried by‘her little niece. Miss Rita Culbertson, her muid of honor. who was dressed in white and wore a veil of white chiffon caught back with holly. The bride‘s travel- ling suit was brown cloth. trimmed with black satin applique, cream satin and chiffon. In conclusion we may just add that Mrs. Johnston is an estimable lady, a life long resident of this vicinity, and one for whom everybody has the highest feeling of respect. We have also a high Opinion of Mr. Johnston, based on a very intimate acquaintance and it is our earnest wish that a long, prosperous and happy life may be their lot. ' At the appointed time, Miss Large struck up the Wedding March and the groom advanced to the altar. where he took his place. Shortly the bride entered leaning on the arm of her brother, Dr. Culbertson, of Meaford, and followed by the neatly attired Miss Rita Culbertson. The usual catechism was gone through with by the Rev. Mr. Smith who tied the nuptial knot and the happy couple was soon pronounced man and wife. Passing down the north asile the bride and groom entered a con- veyance and followed by a number of immediate relatives together with the pastor and his better half, repair- ed to the residence of the bride’s mother, Mrs. Samuel Scott. where a very sumptuous Christmas and Wed- ding dinner was partaken of. after which the remainder of the day till train time was Spent pleasantly. the bride and groom being the recipients of many warm congratulations and best wishes for their future prosper- ity. As we have known both con. tracting parties, and can Speak well of them we join heartily in the gen- eral feeling and wish them God speed. They took the evening train for Cannington where in due time they will comfortably settle. It was Christmas; the time was just an hour after midday. The scene of activity was the Methodist Church, Durham. The seats were filled but the cause of the stir wasn’t on account of a regular service, not. by any means; it was something more interesting. There was to be a wedding and the contracting parties were Mr. Roger J. Johnston, Princi- pal of Cannington Public School, and Miss S. Culbertson. of this town.
