Isabel McMulleH Won Public Speaking Contest DECIDED ON GOLD WATCH IN PLACE OF TRIP TO OTTAWA- IS SPEAKERS CONTESTED FOR MISS MACPHAIL'S PRIZE. Local and Personal The popularity of Miss MacPhail's public* speal.ing contests was again evidenced by the large number of con- testants and their friends, who braved _^ I inclement weather and muddy roads, and filled the high4chool auditorium on Saturday afternoon last. There and is commonly known, as "corduroy roads." These they made by laying logs side by side and covering them with layers of earth. As time went on they began to think of the educational side of the com- munity and little log schools were er- ected, which have since given place to our modem brick building of to-day. These were filled to over flowing in the winter months when the youth of the community returned to renew their scanty knowledge at various lines, and when, also, some of the older ones came back to take up the work they had been forced to leave in order to help wrest a scanty living from the soil. These older ones were often far older than the teacher himself. Where stands our comfortable brick church today once stood a less hand- some building of wood, which had in its turn taken the place of the school house as a place of worship. Rarely were services held regularly, but just at sueh times as the pioneer missionary C5)ald find It possible to made his rounds. Conveyances were rare and times without number the settlers walked to Owen Sound and carried their produce on their backs, returning laden, in- stead, with the articles they had bought. Matches were a thing almost unknown, but fire was produced by rubbing two sticks together. 1 think that I have now summed up the chief points of interest in my short speech. Buy in Flesherton! Dr. R.

It was generally known that Dr. Blake was in some financial diffi- culties and that domestic troubles had weighed on his mind to seme extent, "his wife and two children having left some three weeks ago for Hamilton, where they have since resided. The deceased had not been feeling well all that day and friends had been in to see him at different times, and a few moments before his death he was found lying on the floor with life fast ebbing away, and he died a few moments later.
