SOCIAL.
JENNINes-EsTEs.

A very pretty home wedding took
place Wednesday afternoon at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. James D. Estes
on South Main street at o'clock,
when the lives of Mr. Robert H. Jen-
nings and Miss Carolyn Estes were
made one. The parlor was profusely
decorated in white and green, amid
which were scores of lighted waxen
tapers, which lighted up the darken-
ed room. Holly, trailing vines, and
mistletoe were used in the decorations
throughout the colonial home and
their beauty was added to by the use
of pink roses. At the strains of the
wedding march the groom entered
with his best man, Mr.. VIM. Griffith,
and was met in the parlor by the
Mary Estes. Under a bell of white
roses supported by an arch entwined
with trailing vines. the Rev. T. r.
Curtis said the ceremony, while Miss
Bessie Bostick played Loves Dream. y
Immediately after the ceremony a
dainty little satin cord attached to the
bell overhead was severed and roses
in profusion were showered upon the
happy couple. The bride was pretti
ly gowned in white duchess satin
trimmed in real lace. Her toule veil
was caught with orange blossoms and
diamond breach, the gift of the
groom.
Her going-away suit was of grey
silk made princess with a grey hat to

GEESE KILLED IN FLIGHT.
Whole Flocks of Wild Fowl Some
times Meet with Death in
Winter Storms.

The large blackheaded goose Ia a
strong, hardy bird, generally remain
ing on it's own native water until the
ice forms firmly. In the south it is
only a visitor fol- the winter months.
Born on some lake beyond the north
ern watershed, or perhaps on some in
let in Hudson bay or the Arctic ocean,
it's heart is ever loyal to the land OF
it's birth.
Sometimes, when the cold weather
sets in late up nor tn, as in all proba-
bility it has this year the wild geese
suffer from their devotion to their ma
tive place They may at this late sea-
son fly right into a streak Of real win
ter, with driving snow to blind their
vision and bitter frost to halt their
flight.
If there is storm their way leads
right through it, until the leaders eyes
are closed by the freezing of the snow
about the head or it's feathers become
too heavily weighted. When the sight
has gone and the birds are weGried It
is easy to see how misleading is much
Of the talk about the leadings of an
extra sense. Like ship without g
rudder the V-shaped flock will make
for and pull up in most dangerous and
i'll suited places.
Once flock came tumbling into the
street of an eastern townships viz

came tho easy prey of the boys ard

In another place a farmer CHANGED
one spring to find the frozen carcasse
of more than 80 fine geese in a drift
in one of the fence corners. The birds
had evidently come to earth in some
binding storm and, imagining they
we're nearing water, found instead the
hard. snow covered ground.

It would undoubtedly create demand
for small farms and division OF the
larger ones, thus increasing the popu-
lation to a great extent, which is ao-
solutely necessary to properly support
any town. Towns smaller than MI.

canning business, even when located
in places not so well adapted to truck

would constitute the bulk OF the vege-
tables used and will grow as prolific

the farmers not help out in such an
enterprise. In tact, it should belong
to them, thus insuring deep interest
on the part of those who would be
mainly responsible for the success or
failure of the enterprise. Well talk
