Uikfortuiuately it was a business trip and one was denied the iop(portuniity o' sun-end ecdng to impulse and staying awihile. Jusit prerviously a letter bad beei received from a former Flesherton Lan a contriibution, now sent, to help toward putting on a real show in August next. Twas a heart-warm ing thing to receive the lettea-, ant to realize that others, too, turn baxA in Memory's Lane and live again the dear old days of yeasteryear: and that the exiles have rwt forgotten eaot other. And so it was a priivilege to make an, alas, too-small contributior. to next summer's home-coming party. . . . Driving down from the north, one approached Flesherton â€" swung past the old Beatty, Davis and Maihewson places, with a pang foT the good old times up there: and still standing in the du.sk was the old stone fii-eplace, once thi comfort ot the earliest log cabin. And is that fireplace to be allowed to fall be'ore the elemeinlts? Daylight shows through it â€" the end will come soon, if it is not restored. And then Flesherton unfolded as the car slid down the slope, crossed the Boyne, past the historic square â€" and down into the gathering dark- ness. Bentham's old place slipped by, the Irwins, Claude Akins, and Wm. Reid's old places, past the Chards, Johnsons, Moore, Caswell's and the On-'s â€" and then as dark- ness became complete, unfamiliar scenes spread out in front. It was as though the few swift years of youth had been reqjlaced by these rugged laborious years. Thus, the brief sentimental jour- ney was over â€" with a tingling mem- ory, and an eagerness fox the Big Week in .August, when Flesherton becomes again the visible shrine of her sons and daughters â€" as it al- ways is in their hearts. The question: "Will they come home ? " I' I come back in August will the others .keeip tryst? Or will it be a disappointment ? I thought of those who have cross- ed Over since last we met â€" a lenigtheninig host. The Editor of 50 years will not be there, nor many more whose memory lingers affec- tionately â€" ^the Baniker, the Clerk, the Blacksmith, but one must not dwell too long on those thoughts. There are so many who will come back. We're looking to see so many of them! Alas, that so many no longer have home-folk to come to when they come home. Mister Editor, are they being encouraged to come, and homes provided for them when they come? (Just let the committee hear of youi- needs and a home will be provided. â€" Editor. ) A wondedful hoone-coming it world be if 'We could only see many of the Old Gang who may be left â€" guys like Steele VanDusen, Baldy Gibson (belatedly stuj-ting to live up to his name), Billy Hales, and a bunch ot suoh-like Home'^olk who have been letting the place forget them â€" and the dear girls (can one call them "old girls") who used to make our hearts cut up ? If only The Advance woula pub- lish the whei-eabouts of these folk and invite them back H:me. some of us might also try to put put the pressure on. Write a letter to the editor of The Advance and let us all know of your intention to come. Will ye no' a' come back again! â€" VOYAGEUR.

Brownridge Burned At Feversham Fire destroyed the home of Ernest Fire destroyed the home of Ernest Browpridge at Feversham Monday eveniiig, with all its contents. The blaze was discovered shortly after 10 o'clock by Mr. Georgi; Slid, while the owner was attending a meeting of the Orange Lodge. The Sled' garage is directly opposite the bamel home. An appeal for help was sent out and the Flesherton fire brigade responded, besides a large nuimber of citizens to lend a helping hand. Excellent work was done in saving the home of Mr. John Stafford, which was directly In the way of the flames and sparks from the burning building, as there was a stiff wind blowing at the time. The destroyed house was one of the oldest in Feversham, of two story, frame construction. It is not definitely known what caused the fire, but it suspected that it may have been from owerheated pipes. Mr. Bro-svnridge carried a small amount of insurance on the building.
