NO ONE chartered Bank in Canada has anything greater to offer the business community ,',han ite con- temporaries unless it be in the char- acter of the service it renders. Dur- ing: its life the Canadian Bank of Commerce has developed a distinct individuality through the kind of ser- vice maintained in its daily transac- tions.

The appointmest of the Secretary- Treasurer of the Osprey Fanners' Milling Co.. Limited, is to be made at a meeting of the directors of the Company to be held shortly, and the notice of appointment as made ii the last issue was erroneous. An error crept into the advertise- ment of Mr. F. H. W. Hickling's store which stated that olbs. of honey were offered for $1.00. Asy person would realize that thU was an error. The item should have read: 5 Ibs. for 53c., . or 10 Ibs. for $1.00 A social evening will be held in tho Town Hall on Monday. Feb. 2nd, nt 8 p.m., under the auspices of tho W. I.

Wed- nesday night and Thursday morning the temperature dropped to 12 below zero, and on Sunday a regular thaw set in which lasted for one dav. On account of such weather colds are prevalent. Messrs. George Brackenbury asd E. A. P'eston took twn rinks oi curlers to Markdale Monday niglit and enjoy- ed two interesting games there with rinks skipped by H. H. Lucas and C. King. They failed to win a game, athough the scores were within three ard for:- points of the winners. On Sr>-idny evening Rev. W. J. Scott commenced a series of sermons to '>p delivered each Sunday in St. John's l';-.:t-i! rhii'v-h on the b^-t "Tht> Mnnlu>"d of th? Master." The third sermon will ho illustrated by lantern lecture on the Eastern customs in the time of Christ, *.. Again Flesherton showed their su- ! peiiority over the Markdale seniors v.-hen they won a hard-tought game played in the local arena on Friday night last,, but only by a one goal margin, the score beingl-0. This gives Flesherton a splendid chance to win group honors, as they have \von two and lost one game to date. The game was not a very speedy affair the first half, offsides and the kicking of the puck marring the niaying. There was r.o scoring the first two r.eriods, but towards the Ifst of the middle session play commenced to open up in the efforts to secure a score. Che.-king was close and heavy and quite a number of penalties were horded nut during the gsme. There were twelve minutes of playing in the third period before any score was made, and Flesherton grabbed the firit and only one. Gorrell grabbed the puck at centre ice. flew down right wing boards and drilled a sizzl- ing shot at Wright which he had his rve on, but Bill Patton came in fast lor tho rebound and he made sure that Wright was wrong that time, but it was a beautiful counter, which pleased the local crowd which ga%e vent to its feelings in the propsr manner. After this sally the Mark- dale sauad had four men up on the forward line, but Snell in the local nets was impregnable, smothering many rushes that appeared^ 1 be sure r-unters. He played as though in- spired and great credit is due to hi:; magnificent net minding. Flesherton Goal. Snell: defence. Boyd and McTavish: centre. J. N'uhn; wings. H.

Church Held Annual Meeting The annual meeting of the congre- gation of St. John's United church was marked hy a fine spirit of en- couragement and cheer. The reports from the various organizations show- ed marked progress in every depart- ment. The local work showed a bal- ance on the right side, while most en- coui aging has been the increased int- erest in the Missionary cause as indi- cated by an increase in Missionary givings. In the report of the Session special mention was made of the fine work d^n" in the Sunday School and Youne People's Society, the W.M.S. is its Missionary educational work, the Ladies' Aid in its most active support of every good work and the choir and its leader, Mrs. Blackburn, in the ser- vico of Praisp. Among other meetings during the year the life of the congregation was ereatly stimulated by the visit of Dr. Duncan McLeod from "far Formosa," and the Moderator of the General Council of the United Church, Dr. Edmund Oliver, Principal of St. An- drew's College, Saskatoon. The Presbytery of Grey held its regular spring meeting in St. John's church and Mr. William Inkster, the representative Elder, was honored by the Presbytery in being elected as one of the two lay delegates to the General Council which met in London in Sep- tember last. The pastor of the con- gregation has been elected as the Chairman of the Presbytery of Grej for the curient year. The retiring Stewards, Ear! Best, W. . Hawken and A.

Bry.-e was appointed to fill the un- rxcired term of T. W. Fimilay. P. J. Thurston and C. J. B?lla*ny were appointed auditors. The following extract from the Session reoort presented bv Mr. T. R. McKenzic reveals the spirit sough; and the ecal to be set before the cortrregation for the coming yeai : The Sc:-;-,ijn observes with great satisfaction the spirit of 'nrmony existing among err people and evid- enced in all the organizations of our church.

Crowd Out to Hear The Play "Pollyanna Who is there that has not heard of Eleanor Porter's Pollyanna, the Glad Girl, who was even glad that she had freckles, because they might have beep boils? Well, Pollyanna came to Flesherton on Tuesday, and gave us one of the most delightful evenings we have had in Flesherton fov many a year. The young people of St. John's United church were responsible for her appearance. The town hall was filled almost to its capacity with an intensely in- terested audience who were swayed with tears and laughter by the pathos ar.d joy of the drama unfolded to them, and nothing but highest praise wrs heard on every side for the excel- lence of the entertainment. Mrs. W. P. Bryce as Pollyannn was simply perfect in her character and took the hearts of the audience by storm fr^m the moment she appeared on the stage. We do not know whether Mrs. Bryce has ever taken lessons in expression, but we do know that su:h lessons would never im- nrove her along that line as she dis- played it on Tuesday evening. Sh? stormed the mental citadel of a dis- gruntled aunt "nd everyone olse with whom she came in contact, and brought tears to the eyes with the prayer to her dead mother to come to her. In child character pourtrayal Mrs. Bryce is superb. She was well supported by the other members and altogether the little drama was one of thp very finest things we have en- joyed here in many a day. Fleaherton hs some excellent his- ti ionic talent and should the same artisto ever decide to give us some- thing else, or even a repetition, they w'll be assured of a warm welcome. Thr^e young ladies distributed homemade candy. The proceeds amounted to about seventy dollars. served, also a treat of candy by the hostess. All ladies are invited to attend the U.F.W.O. meetings. A GOOD BULL. Holdfast Club Meeting Eighteen members and four visitors enjoyed the hospitality of Miss Lottie Whittaker, when she entertained the Holdfast U.F.W.O. Club at their Jan- uary meeting. After the opening exercises the roll call was answered by a simple supper dish. Mrs. .las.

Mrs. George Fisher gave a reading "Saving that ten minutes." and Mrs. A'-chi- Stewart gave a paper or the "Ont?:in liquor Lill i- high." All the ladies present signed the Peace Pact petition. The next meeting is to be e-iven by Mrs. Donald Stewart at the Pa'-k Hotel, Flesb.evi.on. on February llth. it:-- Agne.i Macphail will give an address, and there will also be a debate resolved "that worries should work in business after marriage.'' After the meeting closed, lunch was Or Tuesday Mr. Roy Piper received o fine young bull, "Royal Favorite" 201313. recently purchased from the herd of Robert Miller of Stouffville.
