HAPPENINGS in the COUNTY AND DISTRICT
Address and Presentation.
A large number of the members of Branch 285, C.M.B.A. [Catholic Mutual Benefit Association], Huntley [Twp], met at the residence of Mr. Jas. Carter on the evening of Saturday, 30th June, and presented that gentleman with an address and a handsome easy chair. When the members had assembled and the meeting had been called to order by Bro. P. Burns [Peter Burns, James' brother-in-law], who presided, Bro. P. J. O'Brien presented the chair, while Bro. J. E. Mahoney read the following address:
To Brother James Carter: The members of branch 285, C.M.B.A., Huntley, take advantage of the occasion of your marriage [on 12 Jun 1900] to extend to yourself and Mrs. Carter their warmest congratulations, coupled with the wish that you may long be spared to enjoy a supremely happy life in the double blessedness upon which you have entered. Our hope is that you may realize the sentiment contained in the Poet Moore's writing when he said: "There's a bliss beyond all that the minstrel has told, When two, that are linked in one heavenly tie, With heart never changing, and brow never cold, Love on thro' all ills, and love on till they die." Having known you intimately for many years and appreciating your good qualities as a citizen and as a member of our association, we feel that the present occasion is an opportune time to show in a practical way the high esteem entertained for you by every member of our branch - and we feel sure that the same might be said for the neighbourhood - and we therefore ask your acceptance of this easy-chair as a slight token of our appreciation, with the hope that it may serve to lighten the labors of life and cause you oftentimes to revert to the pleasant circumstances under which we are gathered here to-night. We wish for yourself and your wife a full cup of the good things of this life - heaped up and running over - and when you are through with mundane affairs we trust you may find enjoyment in the felicities of the hereafter. J H. KENNEDY, President.
Shortly and witty speeches were made by Bros. Burns, Mahoney, P. F. Manion, J. J. Manion, Brown, O'Brien and others. Refreshments were served and a few hours spent in music and social chat. Before departing Mr. Carter heartily thanked his brother members for their kindness and good wishes to himself and his wife. He said he would ever treasure the beautiful present as a memento of the occassion. The meeting closed with the National Anthem.

LIGHTNING KILLS VALUABLE CATTLE
James Carter, of Huntley Loses Seven Milch Cows During Friday's Storm
Mr. James Carter, of Huntley, has suffered a serious loss, seven of his milch [milk] cows being killed by lightning. There was a thunder storm in the district on Friday afternoon accompanied by hail. Mr. Carter's cattle sought shelter under a large tree about fifteen yards from the barn. A bolt of lightning struck the tree and in passing to earth struck and killed seven out of the herd of fourteen. They were all valuable animals. Except for the killing of the cattle the only trace the lightning left was a strip about six inches wide torn off the trunk of the tree from the top to the bottom.
