While repaii's were beintf effected Sir William visited the home of Edgar Duncan, where he was treated to maple syrup. On the 11th of July this year, while making injuries, was too great for a person , the same tri)), this venerable gentle- of her advanced age to bear. Mr". Reid left here Tuesday under the care of two local men to go to hospital at Toronto. The journey, however, was halted at Orangeville, when her condition wa.s seen to be growing rapidly worse. No further reports are to hand re- garding the condition of the two others hurt in the fatal crash. Mr.s. A. E. McKim of Lucknow and Mrs. Reid, tier mother, were seriously injured when their car lurched from ( the highway in loose gravel and ' crashed into a tree five miles east of 'â-  here Tuesday morning. 'The little (laughter of Mrs. McKim was also ; badly shaken up, j Mrs. Reid was rushed to a Toronto , Iiospital after it was found that she I had sustained two bi'oken leg.s, as well | as other injuries. J. R. Richai-ds and i Bmers'jn Bennett of Flesherton con- veyed her to the city. Mrs. McKim man, who is now in his it2nd year, again honored this home with his presence and I'eciprocated the Dun- can's treat of the spring of '34 by leaving a large basket of muskniell- ons. .\mong othei' things he jocu- larly remarked that the road, (whicli is now paved) was .somewhat smooth- er than that day when the trailer became detached. Needless to say .Sir William.s thoughful gift wa.s very much appreciated â€" Dundalk Herald. Attended by a large assembly of friends the funeral of A. B. McDonald of Owen Sound, who died suddenly last Wednesday, was held on Friday at Priceville, the place of his birth. Mr. .McDonald was in his (58th year.

The wrecked car was brought to Flesherton late Tuesday afternoon and those viewing it could not but marvel how any of the three escaped alive. The engine wj;s driven from its base by the force of the impact when the car hit the tree. The steering wheel was bent where Mrs. McKim had been hurled against it and the rear of the front seat was also bent in a plainly discernable curve when Mrs. McKim's little daughter had struck it.

It might seem that the man would have shooed the dog away, for he was unkenipt>â€" and a mongrel. Instead, he stopped, patted the dog, brushed his eyes, and took him to his magnificent home. fThey were pals from then on. Last month Mr. du Pont died at his estate in Florida. His body "Ijas been brought back to Wilmington, Del., and now, less than a month later. Yip, broken hearted has passed on. The extraordinary friendship between dog and master is being recognized for Yip, too is be ing brought back from Florida to find a grave at the feet of his master. It is a true life story that sui-pas,ses many of tiie kind recounted in fic- tion. i. Porker Has Urge to See The World And Hot Chase Ensues 1 -fodly inis,sed by sisicr Ka'fe.

Well, draw up your little stools and listen Once Recently the local stock market was staggered by a gigantic deal in liv- stoek. Much as this particular boy loved his dog, he loved the pig better, and traded the canine for the infant swine. T'he squealer was duly deliv- ered at the home of the boy. It is not known what the parents said, but the lad was overjoyed. The question then arose â€" whore .should the piggie be put so that the Big Bad Wolf wouldn't get him ? The boy pondered. Then he reason- ed, which is quiite different from pondering. (See Webster's Diction- ary.) AH! He had an idea! He would build a pen around the pigf- But the little piggy had not heard the lesson of the Big Bad Wolf. This little one wanted to travel and see the world. He felt the bubbling urge of youth coursing through his hams and bacon. Stealthily and with malice aforethought the little pig slipped through a badly constructed portion of his domicile, and was gone. When the boy got there the pig pen was bare. But the little boy had heard about tracking in a Boy Scout story once and he remembered how the Indians followed the tracks of animals. He decided to become an Indian tracker ft would be great fun! Indian-like he stole up back lane;? and acros.-i corner lots. He i)eered nito boxes and barrels and even look- ed with suspicion into the butchers' shops. At last he came upon the .youthful porker. Then the piggie saw thj boy. The boy called to him to stop.- ".Not by the hair on my chinny chin jhin," said the little pig, and away he ran. The cha.se led through backyards and along the streets, and the citizens smiled. Then it led across flowei beds and vegetable gardens. The j citizens stopped smiling. The hot j weather was not so hot for pig hunt- i ing. Both boy and por'Rer were ex- i hausted when the lad with a savage [ Tarzan-like yell landed on the piggie. } The pig was tioo tired to do more than grunt his disapproval. Piggie is now >» a better built pen, and his wanderlust has faded. He gaaes resentfully through the bars, "Oh well, it isn't sach a hot world anyway." he grunts, ^. ,, Unpleasant Surprise by the remarkable degree of re-.-ov- â-  cry which has been witnessed sir."-? ilhe depth of the depression in th» '• --pring of 19.33.
