By the c-durans of hist week's Advance I notice that my frir-rd, Mr. W P. Ci'iissley,has sold oLt his bus businf'ss to Mr. Thos. Kerr, who takes possession ihis week. Now just a word or two in reference to Mr. Kerr, my hew oppns- iiion. Duriu2 my three or four years a.o- ([uainlance with him I have found hicu a gentleman, and I Irmt that the good teehngs which now exist between him and myself may continue. Now in the natural order of business, within the next few daj'3 ynu will be called on and asked .for your p.itroiiage. Now before pledging yourselves, there are a few matters I wi.-:h to draw your aiifemion to. In tho first place, when Mr.Crossley dropsout I shall cons'der myself the old bus man and will assume thttt title. In the second place, I clsira the credit of having the bus fare re- duced fr.iin forty cents, return trip, to twenty-live cents. This I consider quite a sa-vmg to the people. In the third piacf, I take the credit of having secured to the pecplrt of Flesherton a free delivery of all express matter for ovet three years and which I consider quite a large savina to all interested, especially to the business men, who receive a hirge number of par- cels by express. Thanking you nne ai.d all for yuur suppor in the past, and ask- ing for* continuance of the same, (*itb a little increase), »ssurin>i you of my b-st s^'riico" at all times, and thanking you, Mr. Editor, for space in your valuable paper. 1 remain Y'our respectfuUv W.

Two July Weddings FAWCETTâ€" JOY "\ One of the prettiest weddings seen in flesherton for a h)ng time was that which was crnsuminated in the Metho- dist church on Wednesday of last week, when Mr. Jackson Fawce't, principal of Flesherton public school, was united in marriHge to Miss Annie, youngest daugh- ter of Mrs. M. X. Joy of this place. The dunch was beautifully decorated with daisies, ferns and flowers, and the cere- mony took place before » large number of friends of the contracting parlies and invited auesrs. Precisely atl o'clock the groom, supported by his brother, Mr. Geoigo Fawcett of Fores!;, Ont., toi'k his positfon before the aluir, and imuiedi- ately aflerwaid ihe charming little bride came up the aisle leaning on the arm of her brother, Mr. W. T. Joy of Toronto Junction, followed by the e<iually charm- ing bridesmaid, Miss Minnie Joy, both young ladies carrying very hand.some bouquets of carnations and asparagus pluiiiosa, the bride's consisting of white flowers aijd the bridesmaid's of pink. The party entered to the strains of the Wedding March, inspiringly played on the fine pipe organ by Mrs. W. W Trimble, oigani.st. The bride was gowned in white organdy trimmed with Valen- ciennes and tucked. The veil was of tulle and was handsoiaely draped. The bridesmaid's gown was of cream cash- mere trimmed with soft silk and tucked. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Ivison Wilson, tho bride's pastor, assisted by Rev. L. W. Thorn, Presbyterian min- ister. .After the nereniony the bridal party adjourned to the bride's mother's residence where the happy couple re- ceived the congratulations of relatives and invited guests, after which a dainty wtJd- ding dinner was jiartaken of. The groom's present to the bride was a bo^iutiful gold »Mitch with monogram and crescent de- sign set with diamonds, and chain to match, als i a crescent diamond-set brooch ; to the bridesmaid he gave a pretty gold ring set with pearls. Among the numerous other presents we might mtnli<m n handsome mantel clock from the choir, of which tho bride is a mem- ber, and a table and rof-ker from pupils of the public school. The invited guests present wore : Ubv. and Mrs, Iviaou Wils.n, Rev. and Mrs. L. W. Thorn, Mr. and Mra. T i. Sheppard, Mr. and Mr«. VV. H. Thurston, Mr. and Mrs. John Stewart, Mr. and Mr«.

The bride's travelling suit was iiiade of navy blue snowflake with white silk stitching, the coat being beautifully »e^ off with a white silk collar. She also wore a pretty white silk wai.st and hat to match the suit. The departure of the newly wed- ded couple was signalized by falling showers of rice and old boots were also in ' evidence- The bride is a general favorite with all who know her and The .Advance voices the seutiment of all when it wishes for her and her estimable husband a long and happy wedded life. ^^^3:1t3^^ KEURâ€" HASTIK Mr. Thos Kt-rr, who is taking Mr. Crossley's place on the .station bus line, W!is united in marriage on Wednesday last to Miss Nellie Hastie, eldest daughter of Mr. Wm. Ha.stie of this place. The wedding party drove to Markdale where the ceremony was performed &t tho rec- tory by Rev J. R. Newell. The brides- maid was Miss Ida Thompson, and the groom was assisted by Mr. Fred Teeter. The bride's dress was of white organdy with hat to match,and her travelling dress of blue. The bridesmaid was similarly attired. Aftor the ceremony the party relurncd home, where a wedding dinner was awaiting them. They left by the 5 o'clock trtiin for Buffalo, Detroit and Chicago. The bride is highly esteenie<l here, and Mr. Kerr although not so well known, having lived in Markdale for ."ometime, is considered an exenipl.ary young man. The young couple will take up their residence on Collingwood street. The Advance tenders hearty congratula- tions. The farmers have not as yet taken much stock in the remedy of blue-slone solution which has been suggested by the Agvicultuial Department as a means of getting rid of the troublesome wild mus- tard weed as inextinguishable, jiossibiy because many such vaunted remedies have previously f.iilcd. The department is, however, thoroughly convinced of the efficacy of the blnestone, and two demon- strators are out in the province now show- ing the people how to use it. In addition the department is planting plots of the weed at eight different fair grounds. There will be two plirts at each fair, one to be sprayed with bluestone and one let go. When fair time conies around the farmers will be able to judge for them- selves as to whether the treatment has done any good or not. The fairs selected are : Walkerl-.n, Owen Sound, Brantford, Simcoe, Whitby, Perth, Renfrew and Richmond. Tenders Wanted.
