Jliss Sutcliffe, since the death of lier father, h.as had charge of tho Post Office. Having resided in the. vill.age all her life, she has gained a wide circle of friends. At the Baptist Chapel she has taken a deep interest, being up to .a few years ago a Sunday .school teacher, and up to Sunday was tho treasurer of the young woman’s class. In connection with the Christian Society her departure will be missed. I t was not surprising to SCO a large number of intcrc.stccl .spcc-i tutors. The bride was given away by liei* brother, Mr. Edward Sutcliffe, and was most becomingly attired in a di*ess of


cre.aiu .aljtac.a, with httt of white tulle, and she carried a Ixmi|uct of Iilic.s of the valley. 'J'hc bridesmaids wore .Miss Mary Sutcliffe (.sister). Miss Janie Ford (sister of tlie bridegroom) and Miss Hilda Iford (niece of the bridegroom). They wore cream alpaca dresstts trimmed with silk braid. Mis s.M. Sutcliffe and Miss J . Ford, wlio'wore loghorn hats trimmed with cream ribboti and yellow buttercups, carried bouquets of marguerites and narcissi. Miss H. Ford, who wore a cream bonnet, trimmed with braid and pink moss roses, carried a basket o f flowers. Mi*. Ernest Ford, brotiicr of the bridegroom, was best man, the groomsman being Master Robert Sutcliffe .and Air. W . Doan, and the olfioiating minister was the Rev. J. G. Thomas.
