T(> one Chartered Bank in Canada has anything greater to offer the business community than ita contempor- aries unless it be in the character of the service ' in renders. During the half- century of its life, the Standard Bank has developed a distinct individuality is through the kind of service maintained in its daily transactions. The commer- cial aspect of this individuality is found in the many unipue services for which the Standard Bank is peculiarly equip- ped. STANDARD BANK OF CAJNATiA. FLESHERTON BRANCHâ€" G. T.

Mr. John Nuhn has purchased a new Westinghouse radio set from the firm of D. McTavish and Son. The radio fans in this district are steadily increasing in numbers.

Mr. Charles j Waite, who has had large experience, will personally be in charge of the ! branch here.

Things are now in good ' shape again, but good sleighing can ' ;scarcely be hoped for with the icy â- condition of the road bed. I The annual meeting of sharehold- ers of Flesherton rink was held Dee. 3, when the foUow^ing officers were elected for 1925: Pres., Andrew Gilchrist; Vice Pres., Dr. E. C. Mur- ray; Sec.-Treas., S. E. DeCudmore; Board of Management â€" C. W. Bell- amy, W. A. Hawken, Robt. Down, the President and Vice President. Finances were shown to be in excel- lent condition. The report for the past season, after paying off |150 on cost of drilling weU, together with approximately flOO for pump equip- ment and engine house, shows a balance of |13.20 on hand. With ordinary expenditure and no extras the past season proved prof- itable and would show each share to have yielded $17.24 per cent, interest. The coming season conditions being favorable, should see a clear balance^ sheet at the close.. A subsequent meeting of the Board of Management appointed Harry E. Fella caretaker of the rink. There were five applicants for the position. Eugenia Farmers Club Th annual meeting of the Eugenia Farmers' Club was held in the Gr- ange Hall Nov. 29th. The minutes showed an increase of members over previous years.. The .Auditors' re- port also showed a larger balance on hand. Mr. .\lex. Cameron gave a re- port of the Purchasing Committee as follows: Two cars of flour and feed at 11,950; two cars of oats at 51,846; 1200 pounds of twine at$168.50; total value of $3,964.50. Mr. Cameron, the i-etiring President, gave a short ad- dress, asking that the members would be more regula? in attendance in the future, and thanking them for past support. The officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: Pres.. Mr. A. F. Pedlar; Vice Pres., .Mr. Wm. Gordon; Sec.-Treas., Mr. Edgar Lin- ton; Auditors, Messrs. F. Genoe and S. Campbell.

Council Rumors Samuel Patterson Pays Official Visit â€" Many Visitors Present Friday evenins? of last week Prince -Arthur Lodge, A F. & A.M., A.i'S, Flesherton, entertained the District Deputy Grand Master, of Shelburne, on his otf icial visit to the Lodge. There was a large delegation of vis- itors from Shelburne, Durham, Win- chester, Dundalk, and Toronto pres- ent, and joined about 50 of the local bretheren in welcoming the distin- guished visitor. Tlie first degree was sxemplifled on a new member and the officers were highly commended on the excellence of their work by the D.D.G.M., who also gave an excellent address on the symbols of Masonry. The fourtii degree was served in Clayton's Hall, wliere at the close of the feasting Mr. J. D. Clark acted as toast master. The toast to The King was responded to by the singing of the National Anthem, while Samuel Patterson, D.D.G.M , responded to a toast to The Grand Lodge, and in a few words gave particulars of the work the Grand Lodge is accomplish- ing. The toast to the Visiting Breth- eren was responded to by W. H. Hartley, J. H. Zinn and A. Crawford of Shelburne, I.H. Thompson of Win- chester and Capt. Adams of Toronto, who gave interesting speeches inter- spersed with jokes and stories. Be- tween the numbers the Flesherton Hawaiians gave several selections, and Were heartily encored. Geo. E. Banks of Prince Arthur Lodge, re- plied to a toast to the Lodge, and the Old War Horses of the Lodge were coupled with the names, of W. J. Bellamy, J. F. VanDusen and George Mitchell. Messrs. W. G. Watson and Wes. Armstrong took care of the toast to The Ladies in a very satis- factory way. Much consideration is being given the problem of the village council for next term. Reeve McTavish secur- ed the Warden's chair this year and not at all anxious to turn out again, but will do so if nobody else can be .secured. Several namea have been coupled with the position, among them being W. .\. .\rmatronK, C. N. Richardson and Geo. Mitchell. It is not likely that Mr. Richardson would stand for election as his affairs would not permit him to be absent for so long during the year at county council so that leaves two excellent men who would fit nicely at the head of atfairs here. It is likely that this year's councilmen will again stand for re-election with a couple more men contesting the positions. Affairs in .\rtemesia township are very quiet but it is likely that there will be an election. .Annual meeting of Flesherton L.O.
