Thurston & Son, Proprietors EUGENIA (Intended for Last Week) There will be a flsh pool box social in aid of the Memorial on Dec 4th in the Orange Hall. There will be a good social evening and lots of fun fishing. Be a sport and come and enjoy the evening and help finish up the small deficit on the Memorial fence, which must be met right away. Ladies with boxes free, gents 25c. A meeting is being held this Wed- nesday evening at the home of Mrs. Sherwood for final arrangements for Sunday School entertainment and Christmas tree. Everyone is expec- ted to attend who is interested in Sunday School work. Mrs. Proctor and Miss Marjorie are guests this week of Mrs. Em. Proctor. Mr. Douglas Wilson of Toronto spent the week end at the Eugenia House. Mr. Em. Morgan has been assisting Mr. Thistlethwaite of Flesherton with some masonry at the club house the past week, putting in a fire place and other alterations. Graham â€" CampbeU. On Nov. 5th Mr. Cardwell Graham and Miss Lily Campbell were united in marriage by Rev. Mr. Harrower at the Manse, Flesherton. Afterwards the happy young couple left for To- ronto where they were given a recep- ton and shower by their many friends there. The bride and groom spent a few days with Mr. Graham's brother at Copper Cliflf. A shower is being held Tuesday evening at the home of the bride's brother, J. W. The young couple are very popular and we join in wishing them a Ijon voyage. Mrs. Leonard Latimer met with a nasty accident a few days ago while going down cellar. She lost her foot- ing and fell, .sustaining a broken shoulder which has been very painful, but we are pleased to be able to re- port that she is doing nicely. It will be a few days before she will be able to be around again. Mr. P. Munshaw and Em. Proctor, also Em. Morgan, arrived home the past week with the reports of a good time, Em. Proctor having shot a bear. Rev. Mr. Mahaffy of Orangeville .delivered a very instructive address in the church here which was listened â-  to with strict attention by the congre- gation. Owing to weather and roads very few were out, but those who were not fortunate enough to get out missed an address which cast light on the great question of church union, which is being widely discussed both in the press and by all church peo- ple. Mr. Mahaffy did not present the case in the way of a debate, but took a few of the clauses from the bill and views of some of the most influen- tial men of the church and which are being criticized so bitterly by the an- ti-unionists; and defended these clau- ses by giving a splendid explanation of the way in which these clauses would affect the congregation, officials and pastors, to the advantage of. all concerned. We are sure addresses of this kind will help create the g^eat feeling of unity which should be experienced by all congregations joining in this splendid movement to the betterment of all mankind. Anniversary services were held in the. church here on the 16h. Rev. Rose of Corbetton took charge of both services and delivered two very fine addresses. The weather was very stormy ard few were able to attend. Tl>e choir had special music and es- pecially sweet was the number given by the childern at the mornnig service. Jack Large has a fine assortment of private greeting cards, also booklets, to choose from at very moderate prices. (This Week's Items) Mr. and Mrs. Evans of Owen Sound were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Foester over the week end. The Memorial Committee have now changed the name and ar- rangements for the social in the hall this Thursday evening. It will be a hard-times box social. The ad- mission will be the same' as above but anyone coming with any "fixin's" on will be fined according to the of- fence, and a prize will be awarded the one who comes dressed the most appropriate for the occasion. Sep- arate prizes for ladies and gentlemen. There will be a fish pond for the amusement of the crowd and, needless to say, the fishing will not be expen- sive, even though it is on the preserve. A good time is expected so join the crowd and help along the good cause. Mrs. Smith of Niagara Falls was a guest of Mrs. Large the past week. Williams Bros, have completed their threshings for this year, and have had a very successful fall. A shower was given to Mr. and Mrs Cardwell Graham on Tuesday even- ing of last week at the home of the bride's brother, Mr. Jack Campbell. The bride was the recipient of quite a number of useful and pretty gifts. The evening was spent in games and dancing and a very enjoyable time was spent. Miss Irene Martin has received her certificate from the Department of Agriculture giving her the distinction of being the best speaker under twelve years in the Township of Artemesia. Congratulations. Miss McQueen and Miss Georgina Smith are busy training the children for the children's community enter- tainment which is to be just before school closing. A community Christ- mas tree, we believe, will be one of the main features of the evening's entertainment. Drills, choruses, rec- itations and dialogues will comprise the program and the children are looking forward with interest to this annual event. Miss Hilda Williams of Toronto visited vdth her father here the past week. Miss Reta Sayers, Feversham, was a guest of her sisters, Mrs. Genoe and Mrs. Duncan Williams, the past week.

CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS Just twenty-one more days until the big day of the year, Christmas. The stores in town are taking on a new dress these days appropriate to busy season. In preparation for a busy sason the stores have been well stocked with Christmas goods and it should not be such a hard job to pick the individual needs from the display.

BORN KACELLAâ€" At 1296 St. Clair Ave. west, Toronto on Friday, November 28th, 1924, to Mr. and Mrs. D. Kacella (nee Gladys Dudgeon) a son. What is a home worth ? Criminol- ogists, says a writer in a New York newspaper, can give the answer. Cri- minals rarely have a home unless it is a home of the wrong kind. Parents who want their children to grow up right should know: (1) that the ordi- nary person will always reflect his earlier life and the example he has received at home; (2) that, if a child has no respect for his home, he will have no respect for anything else; (3) that a home that has no religion for its basis has no meaning, no se- curity and no power; and (4) that ! the home is the foundation of the community; nations that forget that truth will not endure.
