G. HUTCHESON, South Ontario Farmers Institute "The annual meeting of the south Ontario Farmers Institute was held Broughan on Thursday June 29th. A fair attendance of members was present in spite of the busy time which kept many interested members at home. The chief business of the meeting was the reorganizing of the Farmers Institute into a Board of Agriculture which it is hoped will bring about the co- operation of all agricultrral organizations and muni- cipalities in the district for the pro- motion of agricultural interests in the community. 'The board of directors is composed of representatives from each of the above societies together with some of the leading farmers of the.county. The office:s elected for the ensuing year were as follows: President, Warren C. Wilson. Vice President N. J. White. Sec, Treas. R. M. Tipper Whitby. After the election of officers a number of important matters were brought 'up for discussion. Tt was decided to conduct a series of agricul- tural meetings as well as two or three short courses in stock and seed judg- ing during the fall and winter months. At the coclusion of the business meeting the ladies provided refresh- ments which brought to a close one of the most interesting meetings of this kind which has been held for some time. Martin-Sleep The beautiful home of Mr and Mrs Cephas Sleep, Seagrave, was the scene of a very pretty wedding on the afternoon of Wednesday, July 5,1916, when their neice, Miss Alma Elizabeth Sleep, daughter of the late Oliver Sleep, was united in marriage to Mr. Albert Martin, son of Mr. Richard Martin, Seagrave. The nuptial knot was tied by Rev F. C. Joblin, assisted by Rev. J U Robins, Oakwood. The bride was charmingly attired in a dress of white silk and georgette crepe, and wearing her mother's wed- ding veil, entered the room on thearm of Mr. Cephas Sleep to the strains of the wedding march played by Mrs J Carter. Miss Blanche Frise acted as bridesmaid, while the bridegroom was supported by Mr Stanley Wooldridge, During the signing of the register, Mrs Cecil Sleep sang very sweetly "A Basket of Old Fashioned Roses." "At the conclusion of the ceremony, the guests, about thirty in number, 4 were summoned to the dining room where a most dehghtful repast was enjoyed. The groom's gift to the bride was a wrist watch, and to the bridesmaid a 'pearl pin. Among the many hand- some presents received was a substan- tial check from the groom's father. The happy couple left amid show- [ers of good wishes, on the 6.20 train for the Queen City. May many years of true and in Bappitess be | theirs: « RESERVE FUND. Without n Saansial condition.
