Wedding. MR A; PEARCE-MISS ANDERSON. Yesterday afternoon at Sanson a very pretty wedding was celebrated at the Wesleyan Church, the contraoting parties being Mr Arthur Pearoe, of Waituna, son of Mr R. E. . Pearee, of Sanson, and Miss Annie Anderson, the eldest daughter of Mr 0. L. Anderson, also of Sanson. The church had been beautifully decorated for the occasion, ferns, flowers, etc., being used in great profusion, the path to the ohurch door being covered with matting. The Rev. W. Keall was the offi dating clergyman, and the service was choral. The bride, who looked charming, was met at the church door by the bridesmaids, who preoeded her to the chancel steps, the choir singing the hymn " The Voice That Breathed O'er Eden." The bride was given away by her lather, Mr M. Pearce, brother of the bridegroom, aoted as best man, and Misi M. Anderson , sister of the bride, was chief bridesmaid. Daring the ceremony another hymn was sung, and the "Wedding March" was played by the orchestra as the newly-married couple proceeded down the aisle. On emerging from the ohurch the bridal party were doluged with rice, flowers, etc., and numbers of little with baskets of flowers also strewed ths path; Mr and Mrs Pearoe were then driven through the streets of Sanson and returned to the residence of the bride's parents, and three cheers were given there by the great num- 1 her that bad congregated. . Xi the reception the bride and bridegroom reoeived the congratulations of a large number of relatives and friends. The guests numbered a great many, and the presents were both nameroui and valuable. The wedding must have been a very popular one, judging from the great number that were present from far and near to witness the oeremony. Many persons were unable to gain admittance, the church being paoked. Both families are well-known and much respected, and have been residents in the Sandon district for up* wards oi 20 years. Mrs Pearce will be missed io musical and social circles in Sanson, and for the last 8 years has always been at her post of organist in the ohurch where she was married. In the afternoon Mr and Mrs Pearoe left for their home at Waituna, in the Sandon Small Farm Block. In conjunction with all their well-wishers, we also join in a hope that the union may be one Of long life and happiness. The Canterbury Times. We have fo thank the publisher of the Canterbury Times for a copy of the illustrated Christmas number. The matter is framed so that the number is really a sketch of the progress and position of the principal industries of the colony. It is profusely illustrated which alone should make it welcome to send Home, as our relations would have the facts of our position set forth in the manner could grasp. The pastoral "~" industry is illustrated by photographs at Eltthorpe and Longbeach, and thfr paddock "oloaely stocked" should awaken serious thoughts in the mind of the English grazier. • Agriculture has also a view of reapers and binders at work at Longbeach, ifhich comes closely up to Yankee views of harvesting. " A quiet corner " shows some splendid beeves. There are views of townships and manufactures but to enumerate them would take too much •pack Just buy the number. A capital tale is also printed in the number. " The Princess of Onawe " a tale of old New Zealand. The printing is in keeping with the rest of the work and reflects great credit on the Times office. A STEAM WHISTLE Need not ran fall blast all the time te let you know that it is beard, and it is not necessary that we should be always advertising by noisy statements to. buy •• SalsaMmef the great food preservative, tor once tried always need, as it is the only reliable feed preservative sold.
