Mazrizo--In Toronto, February 18th by Rev. J. A. Miller, Pearl, eldest daughter of Richard and Mrs. Real to Joseph Phoenix, of Regina Saskatchewan. : Last Friday evening, an intensely interesting and profitable time was spent at our Epworth League, the entertainment taking the form of a debate on "Woman - Suffrage" The affirmative side was bravely defended by Mrs. Fred McKague and Miss Hattie Cragg, who brought out many good points to show the absurdity of the one-sided franchise while the nega- tive side was upheld by Messrs Rich. Woon and William Petty. Both sides did extremely well, as might be judged from the frequent applause from the andience. The League was honored with the presence of Mr. Wallace, Manager of tne Bell Telephone Co. of Port Perry and one skilled in the arts and devices of debating. - Acting as critic; be pointed out the merits and defects on each side and then gave his decission in favor of the affirmative. We gladly welcome Mr. Porteous and family to our community. They have bought the farm belonging to the late Wm. Petty, one mile efist of the village. The Greenbank puck-chasers met, fought and defeated the Manchesters on Port Perry ice last week; the score being 8--3. Mr. Robt. McTaggart and wife, of Sonya, visited Miss Ferguson recently Wilmer Stovin leaves this week for Craig, Sask. Don'tforget your hockey outfit, Will. We are very sorry to lose Wm. Beare and family from our church and and community. After a very succes- ful sale of live stock and implements, the family are returning to Uxbridge. Wedding bells are ringing. "O Lucky Jim" Greenbank Won The Manchester Juniors were de- feated for the first time this season by a senior picked team from Uxbridge, 'Toronto, and Saintfield, representing Greenbank. The score at half time was 4 to 4, but in the last nalf the heavier boys from the north tallied four. while the Manchester boys failed to score which left the score 8--4 in favour of Greenbank. The return game which will be play- ed here should be well worth seeing as these two teams have each a game to their credit--Com, Ditching 1 should like to hear from others in * the nighborhood of Port Perry, who contemplate doing any tile draining 4 as 1 am arranging to Son diiiig machines. to] Ve it would be to our Rev. T, J. Mtnsell, pastor of Char- llotte Street Methodist Church, and well-known through Ontario; died suddenly at his home. on Sunday. | Mr. Mansell had taken the evening servine, and walked to his home a short distance from the church. Rev. Mr. Mansell was 'about fifty- five years of age, and came to this city about two years ago from Brant- ford. where he was pastor of Brant Avenue Methodist Church. Aes o * Russel Prentice and another man were in town, Wednesday, choosing a site for the erection of a modern skat- ing rink in Uxbridge. According to their plans, a fine sheet of ice 70x180 will be provided for hockey and skat- ing, with a sheet of ice on one side fifteen feet wide for curling. We wish the new enterprise every success. * » * The Adult Bible class in connection with the Metnodist Church in Ux- bridge held their annual banquet recently. About one hundred and fifty persons were present. * * . ' Henry Jones of Uxbridge was sued for $10,000. damages. He is a local farmer, is charged with having two wives, and lives on concession 6 in Uxbridge Township. The jury awarded Miss Fisher $500 damages, Jones to pay all costs, which means he will be out $1200 The annual Conversazione in con- nection with Whitby Ladies' College was™a most brilliant affair. The College was beautifully prepared for decorations and by many colored lights. The students went to great trouble and evinced' much artistic originality in the construction of their retreats into which they derired to inveigle their selected partners and dearest friends. The Juniors had their retreat beside the pipe organ in the music room. It was of lattice work into which numerous spider's webs mide of twine were woven. In these webs huge spiders stealthily crouched awaiting their prey. The booth was lighted with numerous tiny colored lamps, some of which rep- resented singing birds. The class colors of purple and gold were freely used - The Country School Literary Society Miss C. E. Horning Ours is not strictly a school society' but is conducted by the people of the section with some from neighboring sections. We think it is an improve- ment on the regular school society Being held in the evening, practically every family is interested, and the par= ents attend with their children, as some would find it hard to do so ifthe meetings were held in the afternoon. The society is closely related to the school, and the pupils are given abun- dant opportunity for taking part in the programmes. They have a larger aud- ience than they would have at school, and put forth greater effort in prepar- ation. Tave not only the help of their teacher, but the example of others who are their superiors in literary work in the persons of the officer and speak- ars provided during the term. The teacher advises her pupils in the choosing of material, and selects for them sometimes nature talks, some- times recitations or songs according to talent. Some selectons are sufficiently diffi- cult that they require a great deal of preparation, and here, too, the pupils seek assistance. As the children became enthused over the work, we started a school soc- iety to supplement the larger one. Here the children. do their 'debating, When we had our last debate six of them, some third and fourth class A "to have as much SA the event by handsome and artistict Rexall Rezall Rheumatic Liver Salis For the relief and cure of all forms of Rheumatism ex Kidney Pills and Texall Kidney Remedy (Liquid) for all Kidney and Bladder troubles.
