Moore, when the annual Christ.ua* gathering of children and grandchildren wm celebrat- ed at the old home on the Oweu Sound giavel road on Christmas day. One of the most remarkable features of thia gathering is that Mr. and Mrs. Moore, although they have given a number of these gatherings, have never attended the funeral of one of their descendants, thus remaining on* unbroken family circle of six children and their partners, as well as twenty grandchildren, all of whom were present at the gathering, since none live more than three miles from the old home. The decorations partook of complete circles, representing an unbroken family. It has been re- marked thab for so larpe a number of qrandchildien there is not one with a de- fect, but all are a bright, merry lot of youngsters.

PACKING COMPANY GOES UNDER The CollingwrooJ Packing Co. has suc- cumbed. to adverse circumstances and is now in the hands of a receiver. Speak- ii ir of the reson* it thisaa-'i^iiincnr the the Bulletin sayi: This news has been wlnd'y unexpected by tlioae iu the know, but, the regret thar it bus t iken place will be i;ent)ral among the people of Collingwood. The Packing Co. was for iiidny years one ( f the large industries of the town. It was oranizcd iu the early nineties and by persistent etfort ou the pint of the man- nge-iienl succeeded in securing a wide connection and a large patronage. Time brought changes in the course of trade and unfortunately, that which this company enjoyed was cut oil, through no fault of theirs, but owing only to the new conditions. The foreign market was captured by producers cfuser to hand while the home market was already crowded.
