Tomorrow, August, 30, Mr.. and Mrs.

which occasion we join with their friends
and relatives here and abroad in warm
congratulations and all good wishes. Mr..
and Mrs. c. E. Leevy are among the old

community and it is safe to say are very
popular and highly regarded. 1t is not
many who have the opportunity of reach
ing fifty years of welded life, and still
fewer who attain that distinction with
the haIeness this happy pair possess.
This union has been fruitful too, Mrs.
Esman of Recovery Hill being a daugh-

now in Denmark, a son Of the happy
couple. Another son died in America
some time ago.
We trust the day will be spent en-

Tire which each man makes. Then, if
there are any just complaints, we refer
to the number Of the Tire, and the man
who has made it have to pay the claim.
The workmen agree to this, because
they receive very much higher pay than
is customary in other factories; and by
having to pay the claim ii there is
any--is undoubtedly the cause that they
take special care in the construction of

much:-
