A Suspicious Case
Two Hilltown men, John Shirkey and David Ross underwent trial before Sherrif Campbell Smith at Dundee yesterday, on a charge of having stolen a quantity of lead piping and solder from an unoccupied house in the Hilltown . Numerous witnesses were examined but His Lordship said there was no evidence to show that the men were guilty. It was a suspicious case and the accused had better take care of themselves in the future. He found the charge not proven.
A Kindly Custom
It is now not quite so fashionable to send out brides cake as formerly, still it is a kindly custom and most people are pleased to be remembered this way. The cake is generally sent out immediately after the wedding by the bridesmaids or the members of the brides family, and failing, the possibility of the bride herself on the conclusion of her honeymoon within a week or two of the eventful day.
