On Friday evening last a fatal ac- cident occurred in Egremont, near Dromore, when Annie Hayes, daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. James Hayes of the 19th of Proton, was instantly killed when an old Ford car which she was driving went over an em- bankment and turned over. There were five people in the car â€" James Hayes, Mrs. White (a daugh- ter) and babe. Miss Barber and Miss Hayes. The accident is said to have been caused by faulty brakes. Miss Hayes attempted to change gear while going up a hill when the car stalled and the brakes would not hold. The emergency brake was utterly use- less. The car went swiftly back- ward and over a high embankment, Mr. Hayes jumped before the car went over but the rest of the party went over with it Miss Hayes had her head crushed and death was instantaneous. The rest of the party were more or less shaken up but none were seriously injured. Miss Hayes is said to have been an expert driver and with the brakes in the condition they were could not prevent the accident. SHOT 2214 GROUND HOGS AT BADJEROS Annual Hunt Was Again A Great Success SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION The annual convention of the Art- emesia, Markdale and Flesherton Sunday School Association will l>e held in the Methodist church, Mark- dale, on Wednesday, June 25th, after- noon and evening.

No. 2855, Flesherton. and the L.O.B.A., Flesherton was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Hogarth, west back line, on Thursday evening last and a very enjoyable time was' had by all those present. Besides the members of the Lodges the neigh- bors were invited to join in the fest- ivities and between seventy-five and one hundred were present. Games and races were indulged in by both old and young. A short concert was held at the close and some excellent numbers were given, among them being a violin solo by Mr. Roy Best; duet by the Misses Preston; reading by Mrs. H. Down; solo by Wes. Arm- strong, accompanied by the ukelee, and a delightful address by Rev. Wm. McWhinney of Kamsack Sask., who is on a short visit east. The thanks of the Lodges is due Mr. and Mrs. Hogarth for the use of their residence and for the hospitality given to the visitors, also to those who helped in the excellent program. For the past two years the people ; of Badjeros and vicinity have put on ; a scrub hunt of a sensible kind, and i this year's affair was an immense success. This hunt is put on with a I view to eliminating or at least reduc- . ing the number of pestiferous ground- ' hog or woodchuck. This animal does [ considerable damage to crops and is absolutely useless to humanity from any point of view, and his absence is ' much more to be desired than his j presence. Therefore it entered into j the minds of the Badjeros younir men 1 that a groundhog hunt would be verj' i much more reasonable than the killing i off of the innocent squirrels, chip- [ monks and feathered songsters, such | as has been the practice in some lo. calities. Last year saw this hunt inaugurat ed and it caught on immediately. Two i captains are appointed and these each ': choose nine others, the total number ' of contestants being twenty. i This year the captains were David Macklem and Edward Taylor. On ' Friday night of last week the score ; was counted up when it was found that Macklem 4iad nearly 1400 tails \ while Taylor had something over 800. The total number of brushes gather- ed in was 2214. This ought to pretty well clean up the groundhogs in that vicinity, but no doubt enough are left to reproduce the species. As a mat- ter of fact these tails were gathered from far and near, friends at a dis- ( tance busying themselves to assist the captain of their choice. The postal service also assisted. In this case the prize was a valu- able shaving set, and no doubt in future Mr. Macklem will be noted for his clean-shaven chin. The real beneficiaries of thi saffair were the Ladies' Aid of Badjeros church, who gave the supper and a concert on Friday evening at which Dundalk band was present. A good program was given. The whole affair was pronounced a most decided success. • 4SI «> ® ® m « & The Peoples' Grocery AND ICE CREAM PARLOR Flour, Oats, Wheat, Chop, Ontario Bran, Shorts and Low Grade Flour.
