broke out in the Farmers Restaurant,
owned by Barney Stevenson, and soon
gained considerable Roadway. The fire
was in the upper part of the, building,

partment reached the building the fire
was out, but the building was badly
Quilted and no little damaged done to the
contents by fire and water. Mr.. and
Mrs. Stevenson were visiting with Mrs.
Stevenson's people in Winnipeg, but
were notified of their loss. The damage
done will aggregate several hundred dol

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. James
Symington, near Neche, was the scene
of a very interesting event on Christ
mas day, when their daughters, Mary
Ethel and Myrtle May, were united in
the holy bonds of matrimony, the form
er to Mr.. Robert Noice of Hyde Park,
and the latter to Mr.. Wallace Gamer, of
Bay Center. The marriage ceremony
was performed by Rev. James Opie, as
sisted by Mr.. William Symington, ST.,
of Neche, the grandfather of the brides.
The ceremony was conducted under an
arch of white silk, tastefully draped
and caught up with bells. The brides
we're attired in cream silk nav, hand
somely trimmed with lace and insertion;
both wore the customary wells, with
wreaths of orange blossoms, and car
ried bouquets of the blossoms tied with
white satin streamers. Miss Maude
Symington, of Neche, cousin of the
brides, was bridesmaid for Miss Mary,
and was prettily gowned in cream lustre,
trimmed with all-over lace and lace.
Miss Janet Symington, sister of the
brides, assisted Miss Myrtle; she wore a
beautiful costume of cream silk lans-
down. The grooms were assisted by
Mr.. Russell Symington, brother of the
brides, and Mr.. James Gamer, brother
of the groom. The brides were. given
away by their father. Shortly after two
o'clock the wedding march was played
by Miss Lizzie Irvine, and the bridal
parties entered the parlor, and after
hearty congratulations, the guests all
sat down to a sumptuous wedding din
ner. The tables were daintily decorat-
ed and were heavily laden with variety
of rich viands, covers being laid for forty.
The presents were both numerous and
costly, showing the high esteem in
which the young couples were held.
All join in wishing Mr.. and Mrs. Noice
and Mr.. and Mrs. Gamer a happy and
prosperous journey through life.
