THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE .WEDNESDAY, JAWUARY «, i^y • « former Resident Dies At Porcupine Word was received here this week announcing the death of Mrs. Frank Hamilton, nee Ina Beattie, at Porcu- pine, after an ilhiess' in hospital of several months. Mrs. Hamilton was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Beattie of this vicinity. Word was received here by Mrs. Mary Jamie- gon from her son, George, who is wintering at Tinunins. The deceased lady taupht school in Plesherton for two years, 1906-1906, and was a gen- eral favorite with everyone who knew her. The Advance tenders sympathy with her aged parents, brothers and sisters, who live in Toronto. W. L. Taylor Of Osprey Is New Warden Of Grey w. Grey County Notes Ashes were the cause of a $3000 fire in Owen Sound when the residence of Mrs. Robt. Scott took fire. Con- siderable water damages was included in the loss. Cheery news comes from Hanover when their local furniture show brought in a considerable number of orders, a decided improvement over the past couple of years. Fi â- ? destroyed the clothing store in Wiarton, owned by A. Resenstein. His stock of $4,000 in ladies and gents, furnishings was almost com- pletely destroyed. The funeral of Ex-Mayor sW. J Christie of Owen Sound was held on Wednesday last when a large crowd paid tribute to a prominent citizen. The average cost of food per day for those on relief in Owen Sound is 12% cents per day, according to Col. T. J. Rutherford, secretary of the Welfare Board. Mrs. Jas. Lindsay Sr. of Chesley was 97 years old on January 17th. Jas. C. Milne of Chesley, uncle of Dr. J. E. Milne of Flesherton, diad on January 11th. Jas. Bolger of Dur.dnlh has been appointed poundkeeper of the village, but his appointment is an honorary one, as he has not had one animal in custody for 15 years. He will not grow rich from his office, as his re- muneration is the fees he collects. L. Taylor, Reeve of Osprey township was elected Warden of the County of Grey on Tuesday evening, this being the first order of business' of the 1934 council. The election of Mr. Taylor as Warden was advoctted by The Advance over a month ago and his acclamation to the position was not unexpected. Besides Mr. Taylor the following were nominated for the chair, but withdi>ew: J. C. Mercer of Markdale, D. Allen of Shallow Lake, Louis Himler of Neus- tadt, Thos. Ramage, Sydenham, John Hutchinson of Thombury and W. H. Hunter of Egremont. Mr. Taylor has had an enviable career in municipal affairs and the action of the Comity Council in grant- ing him the highest honor at their disposal is only right and just under the circumstances. Here is the re- cord: As councillor five years. Deputy Reeve five years, and as Reeve for thirteen yeai^. He was on the Good Roads Committee for ten years, two years as Chairman. He has served on the following committees: Finance. Education, Printing and Agriculture. He has served his country with dis- tinction and the Wardenship is only a portion of honor which is his just right. Mr. Taylor lives in the village of Singhampton, on the townline be- tween Osprey and Nottawasaga. The fact that his territory is so one-sided is the strongest evidence of his popu- larity. H. C. Moody of Dur.dalk was elected to the executive of the Ontario Flour, Feed and Gfain Dealers' As- sociation. Mr. John Carter, aged 78, died at his home in Melancthon township on Thursday. Three sons and five daughters survive, among them being Mrs. Robt. Down of Tara, formerly of Flesherton. Mrs. Carter prede- ceased him in 1929. Jas. A. Myles of Thornbuxy, well known auctioneer, die<.l at his home on Friday, January 19th. He was 74 years- of age and a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Robert Myles, pioneers of Euphrasia township. Besides his wife he leaves ten children. Old Resident Dies The death is announced of an es- teemed -Anglican clergyman of the old school, who spent his early days in Flesherton. Thciv are some old timers who will remember him as the son of a fine typo of English lady who taught music to budding Flesher- ton children over GO years ago. His name was Pieire de Loin, and 56 years ago he entered the .\nglican church as a preacher, being ordained at Lon- don by the late Bishop Hellmuth. He held pastorates in the Diocese of Huron, Toronto, and in England and the United States. Latterly he has been living at Cobourg, Ont.. where last week he pa.*;sed away at a ripo old age, leaving his widow and one son Theodore Cyril Bernard of Montreal A FATHER'S ADVICE Barney Sheridan of the Paola .West- ern Spirit, says his father gave him this advice when he was leaving home at thirteen to get a job: "Barney, if you get any money, don't count it in a <rowd. Don't get on or off a wagon when it's going. Don't ask a woman how old she is, nor poke lun at any- body's clothes. Don't enquire of a blind person or a cripple how it happ- ened. Dont lie unless it's in defence of a good woman, and never run from a fight that you've started. As to STOoWng and , drinking, the less the better, but most men of some account do one or the other. No use to talk or writf- about other men's habits be- W.M.S. Meeting The W.M.S. met in St. John's Unit ed church on Thursday of last week with Mrs. W. Moore in the chair. The meeting opened by singing ths hymn "Saviour, Thy Dying Love," the reading of Psalm 65 and prayer by Mrs. Cargo, and the devotional leaflet was read by Miss Scott. Mrs. E. C. Murray gave a resume of the 1st and 2nd chapters of "Living Issues in China." In the absence of the President ihi first vice-president took the chair. A letter was received from Mrs. A. M. Cole, supply secretary, of 0^ven Sound giving a list of the articles allotted to the Flesherton Auxiliary to supply for the bale, wttvich is to be sent not later than June 9th. Reports were called for from the different secretar- ies. The treasurer repprtad that $227.25 had been raised during 1933, and the bale was valued at $30. The secretary reported 21 paid up annual members and seven life members. Mi-s. Murray reported 19 annual mem- bers and six life members in the Mis- sion Band; 15 World Friends were taken and $23 were raised during the year. Mrs. Mitchell's group will take the February meeting. The roll was called and 16 members and one visitoi were present. The meeting was closed with the Benediction. TIE IN ELECTION The recount of the ballots cast for the Councillors in the municipal elec- tion at Collingwood on New Year's Day, applied for by Graydon J. Kohl, was held on Monday. His Honor Judge Dudley Holmes of Barrie pre- sided, and at the conclusion of the counting found 507 ballots each for Kohl and George T. Foulis, who vvas declared elected on election night by a majority of two. One ballot, on which the voter voted for both candidates, but made irregu- lar marking, is yet to be the subject of written argument by counsel, Joseph Hood of Stayntr for Kohl and E. J. MoEwen of Collingwood for Foulis. No serious irregularities were found in any of the polling divisions. His Honor reserved judgment as to costs. GRIERSVILLE SCHOOL BOARD WELL SERVED At a recent meeting of the Griers- ville school board, Mr. George Taylor, who has been acting as the caretaker of that school for the past 20 years of continual service, resigned, and asked to be relieved of those duties. Mr. Albert Haines is another of the old school section men, and he- refuse4 re-election this year to the board after having served 24 years. Tht late James Taylor, father of Mr. Ed- gar Taylor, one of the present trus- tees, served on the school board for 24 years, before moving out of the »ection. Mr. Fred Abercrombie is now serving his 30th year of service as secretary-treasurer. This is a record of service to their section which will be hard to beat anywhere in this district. All of the!»e men have worked hard through the past vears. and deserve a good deal of credit for their co-operation and use- If there is any other school cause nobody can mend them but the men themselves. Me<ldling in other j fulness. people's affairs stirs up trouble and -tction wiih a record better or as good no good. Never do anything too' ;is this one, the boys near Gric-sville much is mv rule." i would like to hear about it.

Dealers are paying $7.75 per cwt. at Ontario country points, a price equivalent to $8.35 off car at Toronto for stock suitable for the British mar- ket.

If ever in this part of the country try and spend 11 day or two. Speckled trout are plentiful in the sprint: and grey trout almost any time in tlie sUMimer.
