Keeper Donaldson Married.
He Weds Miss Margery Cameron, of Owen Sound and Will not Resign.
Mathew Donaldson, the highly respected keeper of the poor-farm and Miss
Margery Cameron, of Owen Sound were
married last week. The law makes it necessary for the keeper of such
institutions to be married. Mr. Donaldson has been in charge of the county
house here for two years notwithstanding. But this year it was decided that he
should marry or resign. He chose the former alternative. There is something of
a romance in the marriage. Last summer Miss Cameron caded at the poor house for
a few minutes with her sister, Mrs Aaron T. Eagle. Mr. Donaldson saw her and
was so impressed that when he decided to wed, he opened correspondence and it
resulted in the consummation of what will certainly prove a happy marriage. Mr.
and Mrs. Donaldson were entertained this week by Mr. and Mrs. I. Lennox and by
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Lindsay. The News adds its congratulations to those of
their many friends. In addition to being keeper of the poor house, Mr.
Donaldson is a local Methodist preacher. …

Wednesday our attention was called to a sleigh load of happy folks moving
along at good speed, having streamers floating over the heads of the fine black
steeds. It proved to be a farmer of Detour named Samuel Robinson, who having
given single life a fair trial, concluded that home would be more pleasant and
life more blest by the presence of one of the fairer sex. Being out driving in
company with Miss Adah Quantz, of same township, in reaching Detour with that
pleasant looking young lady, they made a call at the M. E. parsonage and after a
few pleasant remarks the happy couple were united in marriage. They made their

to the contract was given as Annie Thomas. Monday afternoon James Clawson, a
brawny young man of sandy hue, came in on the same errand. He also wanted a
license to marry Annie Thomas. Mr. Webster thought, of course, that this was
for Annie No. 2 and noticed the coincidence, but it soon passed out of his mind.
However, it came back hurriedly on Tuesday, when Clawson stalked into the office
in a glaring rage and exclaimed in a very destructive: "I thought this hur paper
was a garranty deed to the woman. She's went and married that durned Bill
Robertson, and I want my money back or the devil'l be to pay." Jim got his money
back, but Bill got Annie. It was real funny.
