Henry McGauvran last Monday.
j. B. Beauchamp returned from
Fargo where he had been looking after
the insurance adjustment for his
recent loss by fire.
Eli Plante writes us from South
Bend, Indiana, where he is comfort
ably located with his brother, Joe.
that he likes the place very we'll.
M. A. Plante is rapidly improving
and expects to Owe from the hospital
to the hotel soon. Mrs. Plante is
still with him, but expects to be home
in a few days.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jon McGauvran of
Langdon were here last week attend
ing the wedding of their nephew,
Chas. H. Dunnigan and Miss Marv
Darling.
The box social held in the hall last
Monday night was very successful;
the net proceeds will amount to about
$50 and everybody thoroughly enjoyed
themselves.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jos. McGauvran and
family have the sincere sympathy of
many friends here in their recent
bereavement. The announcement of
the death of their son was indeed a
surprise to US all.
Hon. H. E. Dorval was here last
Saturday on business and stayed over
Sunday visiting a few of his many
friends. The judge always finds a
hearty welcome awaiting him when he
comes to Olga.
Postmaster Noel Robillard has a
good stock of fountain pens on hand,
which he furnishes at reasonable
prices to those who undertake to fig
Ire on the profit in feeding pigs
butter milk; a problem which he has
presented for the consideration of
several of u progressive farmers.
We would advise those who attend
dances in the Olga hall to consider
their obligations to the owners of that
hall, who have set up certain rules to
be observed by one and all. The
mere fact of purchasing a ticket for
a dance given in the hall imposes
upon the purchaser the obligation of
conforming with these rules, and re-
fusal to do so forfeits the purchasers
ticket. We cannot allow the pleasure
of the majority to be spoiled by the
ignorance of a few.
The meeting of the better farming
club held here last Friday was a sue
cess in every way and one of the best
we have had and practically every
farmer within driving distance was
present. The speakers were j. w.
Haw and TIL. Kristjansen and the sub
jects handled by these able and ex-
%perienced field men were very inter-
esting to the large audience present,
many of whom gained practical know
ledge which they will turn into dollars
in the near future. Mr.. Haw spoke
on hog cholera and potato diseases,
and Mr.. Kristjanson on alfalfa and
hog pastures. One important arrange
ment resulting from this meeting is
the plan Of purchasing what seed is
needed this spring through J.. B.
Beauchamp who will give the purchas-
ers the benefit of wholesale prices and
buying in larger quantities and as
quite a number of our farmers will
seed alfalfa this year they will appre-
ciate the difference in the cost of seed.
A marriage Of more than ordinary
interest to many through the county
occurred here on Wednesday the tenth
inst, when Miss Mary Darling, eldest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Wallace
Darling Of Beaulieu, became the bride
of Chas. H. Dunnigan, eldest son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Dunnigan, also of
Beaulieu. The ceremony was per-
formed at high mass in the presence
of a large number of friends and rela-
tives Of the happy couple, Rev.
Father Mahieu officiating, and the
bride being given away by Mr.. Thos.
Cregan, Mr.. Darling being unable on
account Of poor health to be present.
Miss Anna Darling, sister of the
bride, was bridesmaid and Mr.. Carl
Dunnigan supported the groom. The
bride was beautifully dressed in pale
blue mesaline silk trimmed with
white fur and the groom wore the
conventional black. After the cere-
mony about fifty guests partook of a
sumptuous dinner at the large COM
Portable home of the groom's parents,
and many were the toasts and express
sion of good wishes for the future
welfare of the bride and groom. The
presents were many, useful and valua-
BILE, and will be lasting evidence of
the high esteem in which this popu-
lar couple are held by a host of
