Kitchen Shower and Address AddreM and Presentation On Friday evening, Feb. 24, a large number of neighbors visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Dow, 8th line, who are leaving tor the west. Having taken po.ssession of the home, Mr. J. Carson rend the following address : Dear Fiiend*,â€" We, a few of your neighbort, knowing that you are about to remove from here tn another part uf this vast Dominion, thought that we could not and would not let the opportunity pats of having a social evening with you. We have no doubt of your success m the place to which you are going. If persist- ence in your audeavors is a good trait of character, then we know that you will succeed. Nor are we afraid thatyoj will not have good neighbors, as it has been truly said that a man makes hia neighbors. We know that you will al- ways live in a good neighborhood and have as staunch friends as you leave here. So, on the eve of your departure, it was suggested that we meet in your home to say the farewell and good-bye, and present you with this purse* as a token of our good will. And now, hop- ing that you may all live to enjoy the fruits of your laber, and that you may from time to time come back to see U4 and tell us of the great West and of your success is the wish ot all your neighbors hero. Signed on behalf of neighbors â€" J. Parliament, W. J. Magee. In reply Mr. Dow said ; You have in- deed taken us completely by surprise. We never expected an action on your part such as this. As to making a speech, I would be able to do so if it were not that the circumstances of the present time prevents ita utterance. We are in- deed very thankful for the token of your g^od-wili, the token which you have pre- sented us with this evening. As to hav- ing neighbors, we cannot explam, but we have indeed had good neighbors in this section. We wish them all, every one, all possible happiness and prosper- ity, and hope that if possible we might have neighbors as good in the place to which we are going. We are exceed- ingly pleased to learn that you decided to have a social evening with us before we emigrated to a distant locality. We wiah that everyone may thoroughly en - joy himself, as herewith we offer our home and hospitality to the making of that enjoyment. A number of speeches were also deliv- ered by geutlemen present, Messrs. Car- son, Cameron and K. VV. McFadden, the teacher, exhibiting their oratorical abili- ties. .\fterwards a splendid repast was served by the visitors, to which everyone did ample justice. Then games and amusements followed, and the visitors departed to their respective homes after individually wishing Mr. and Mrs. Dow and family unlimited prosperity in the great Canadian vV"eat. The Late Mrs. Barber One by one the early settlers of Osprey township are being called .iway. Last week we reported the death of Mrs. Charles Barber, sr., who passed away to the eternal world on Wednesday, Feb.22, Mrs. Barber was married to ber late hus- band, Mr. Charles Barbpr, in Pickering township in 185C, coming to Osprey in 185", u4 years ago, and settled on a farm on the 1-tth con., where the family have since resided. A family of ninesonsaud three daughters survive her to mourn the loss of a kind and loving mother. The daughters are Mrs. John Metharal of Dunedin, Mrs. George Ford and Mrs. James Stockton ot Niagara Falls, N.Y., and the sons, Geo., Edward and John at home, Joseph ot Siughampton, Charles of Alberta, Ben of Weyburu, Sask., and Win. James and Aimer keeping a general store at Fuversham. Mrs. Barber had been an esteemed and consistent member uf the Methodist church for about 36 years and was always ready to do her share in church work, and was also one of the kindest of neigh- bors, always willing to inconvenience heiselt to help others in need of help. This neighborhood sympathises with the bereaved family. But the family sorrow not ^s without hope, for they know their mother has gone to her hejivenly home and is WHtching and wailing for their coming. Mrs. B'lrbar's husband prede- ceased her sixteen years ago. The re- mains were laid to rest in Providence cemetery on Friday, Feb. 26, and were followed to their last resting place by a large concourse ot friends and neighbors. On Monday evenijg, Feb. 30, a num- ber ot people met at the home ot Mr. and Mrs. George Harbottle, 3rd line, Eu- phrasia, when a kitchen shower was given to their daughter. Miss Euphemie, on the eve ot her marriage. The following address was lead : Dear Phemie, â€" Wo have met hero to- night to spend another evening with you ere you take your departure from this community. During your sc journ among us we have learned to appreciate your many sterling qualities, and though we shall miss you we know that our loss is but another's gain. As a mark of our esteem we ask you to accept tliefe articles for the kitchen, and as each one receives its designated use in your new home, we trust that you will not entirely forget your many friends ot this neii(hliorhood. Signed on behalf of the community â€" Mrs. H. Thompson, Mrs. M. Neil. In a tew well clioseu words Mr. Har- bottle, on behalf ot his daughter.thanked her friends for their thought fulness.
