Their future home will be in Batlow, A gift evening was tendered to Miss Edith Muriel Cottam on the Wednesday prior to her marriage with Mr, Frederick John Eccleston. The bride-elect received many useful presents, no two being alike, Mr. Stan Fenn making the presentation, to which Mr. Geo. Cottam responded on behalf of his daughter. The music was supplied by the Batlow Gaiety Orchestra, and Miss Lois Briggs and Mr. Pat Waters carried off the cake in the cake waltz.
