In Clayton the two old frame buildings of the Anglican and Presbyterian churches have been replaced by splendid structures of stone and brick. A few years ago Clayton Anglican church was part of Almonte parish and the Almonte minister drove to Clayton, very often over very bad roads. This was all changed and Clayton, St. John's and Innisville became one parish when the frame church at St. John's was replaced by a substantial stone edifice. During Rev. Mr. Brunet's short time in Clayton he undertook the task of building a very beautiful and commodious rectory which is a credit to the community, and will, it is hoped, be of great service in the years to come. Such a task, like many others during the war, caused endless worry, hard labor, and many disappointments, but Mr. Brunet put his shoulder to the wheel and by working early and late, helped in many ways to accomplish the work. Many decades have passed and most of the pioneer work is now done. In Clayton we regret losing a man of such trustworthy qualities and wish him health and success in his new field in Pakenham.

St. George's Anglican Church, Clayton, was the scene of a quiet but pretty Autumn wedding on Wednesday, Sept. 30th, at 3 o'clock when Marjorie May (Poole), second daughter of Mrs. George Poole and the late Mr. Poole became the bride of Thomas Wilbert (McKay), son of Mr. and Mrs. Welland McKay of Ramsay. Rev. J. W. R. Meakin performed the ceremony. The bride entered the church on the arm of her brother-in-law, Mr. Stewart Paterson, to the strains of the Wedding March played by Mr. Lloyd McKay cousin of the groom. The bride was most becomingly attired in a gown of lady crepe mahogany brown, trimmed with cut velvet and chiffon with accessories to match. She carried a bouquet of mixed gladioli and maidenhair fern. The bridesmaid, Miss Bernice Poole, sister of the bride, chose a tunic style gown of solid blue crepe with white trimmings and accessories to match. She carried a bouquet of red and mauve Dalilias. Little Delmer Paterson, nephew of the bride ably acted as ring bearer. Mr. Roy Rodger, cousin of the groom, was best man. During the signing of the register, Miss Marjorie Mealy sang sweetly "0 Perfect Love." Following the ceremony the bridal party returned to the bride's home, where a wedding supper was served to immediate friends. The young couple left on a motor tour of Western points. The bride travelled in a Spanish tile, tunic style suit with brown trimmings. On their return Mr. and Mrs. McKay will reside in Ramsay.

A very pretty wedding took place last Thursday afternoon in the stone church, which had been nicely decorated with ferns, roses, snowballs, daisies and peonies by the young friends of the bride. The participates were Miss Marion Isobel Somerville, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lorne Somerville and Jno. Eldon Cecil Ireton, son of Mr. and Mrs. John G. Ireton of Lloyd. The young bride was daintily dressed in white silk crepe with veil arranged in cap effect, with orange blossoms, and carried a bouquet of pink and white peonies and ferns. The bride's brother John acted as best man and Florence (her sister) was bridesmaid, dressed in pale green organdy with white hat, shoes and gloves. The bride's going away costume was yellow silk crepe with white hat and accessories. The groom's gift to the bride was a necklace, bracelet and earrings in curved ivory, to the bridesmaid a gold triple compact, to the groomsman a morocco bill fold and to the organist, Mrs. Snelgrove, a bon bon dish. Thirty guests partook of the wedding supper and in the evening 200 attended the reception. The young couple received a nice assortment of gifts and they left next morning on a trip to Noranda, Que. We wish them bon voyage through life.
