Russell and Art Porteous, east of Rock Mills, and it was while they were out that the accident occurred. Mr. Thurston dur- ing the hunt, noticed a peculiar move- ment in the bush, and thought it was a rabbit. He was careful to see that no person was in sight before he took his aim, but Mr. and Mrs. Best were hidden from him by the bush, and not until he heard the scream of the injured did he realize that he had shot them. He hurried to their assist- ance, and as quickly as possible they were brought back to the village and given medical attention. An examination revealed the fact that there were 17 grains of shot in Mx-s. Best's legs and thigh, her in.iur- ies being much more severe than those of her husband, who received two wounds in one of his knees. An effort was made to remove the little pellets from Mrs. Best's leg and thigh and seven of them were "taken out, but the balance are still embedd- ed in the flesh, and Mrs. Best is under the observation of her physician.

The above report of the unfortun- ate shooting accident was sent to the Owen Sound Sun-Times by the Flesh- erton correspondent, Mr. W.

Sim in The Farmer: "The community without a library is to me, like a man without a country. It's divorced from the great minds of the past. It has no link with con- temporary thought. A community that doesn't read is as illiterate as a man who can't write." On Saturday, November 23rd, 1935 at 3 p.m., Adeline Fern Paul, third daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John E. Paul, Khedive, Sask., was united in marriage to Mr. George Leonard Renz, third son of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Renz, Forward Sask, at Pangman United church parsonage, by Rev. Edward Beaching.

On their return to the bride's home, a reception was held where twenty-five close relatives and friends partook of a dainty wedding dinner, after which music and singing passed a very enjoyable evening.

No representative of Canada could have served the Dominion more loy- ally or more faithfully than Mr G. H. Ferguson has done, while his loss will be widely felt in this country. Nor has he been oidy the representa- tive of Canada, he has shown himself a great Imperialist, and his advice and counsel will be greatly missed on this side. More especially do we refer to the discussions at Geneva, where he was always listened to with attention and respect. His geniality and capacity have Q^iined for him golden opinions in many spheres, commercial, polit- ical and social, and should he decide to return home, he will do so with the knowledge that ho is leaving behind him in the Old Country a large circle of friends in all classes of life.
