THURSTON & SON, Proprietor^ :^ .. *» OSPREY COUNCIL MET IN MAXWELL The Osprey Municipal Council met in the Orange Hall at Maxwell on Wednesday, August 17, with all the members present and Reeve Hutchin- son in the chair. The minutes and proceedings of the preceding meeting j â- were read and upon being found cor- rect were adopted. Mr. Brown of the Metallic Roofing was present and tried to interest the council in a metallic culvert to replace a bridge which is in need of attention. It was decided that possibly a cheap- er construction would suffice for a term at least. Mr. George Sled of Feversham also waited on the Counail with the re- quest that a by-law be made and pas- sed to allow him to install pool tables in connection with his service station. After considerable discussion it was decided to lay it over until the next meeting so that more information might be sought. A by-law setting the rates for 1938 was read the required number of times. The rates are as follows: County, 11.8 mills; Township. 6.5 mills; General school rate, 7.6 mills; relief, .2 mills. This is a reduction of 1.5 mills from 1937. A by-law appointing Morton Sayers as a member of the local Board of Health for the balance of the year was also passed. General accounts ordered paid were: H. Pedlar, relief milk to A. Richard- son. $2.24; E. Robinson, relief ac- count for A. Richardson, $16.11; J. McKinnon, sheep claim, $30.00: A. Mclntyre, sheep valuer, S4.00; Dept. of Health, insulin, $3.25; H. W. Kern- ahan, insurance premium, $160.00; D. I Mrs. John W. Da?is Passes Saddenly Mrs. John W. Davis, mother of Reeve John A. Davis of Artemesia, passed away suddenly on Wednesday morning of last week, August 2-ith, at the age of seventy years. Her passing came as a great shock to her family and to the entire neighbor- hood where she was highly regarded and respected for her many sterling qualities. Although she had not been enjoying good health for some years, being afflicted with asthma, her con- dition remained about the same until she suffered a spasm of coughing that morning, followed by a heart attack, death following immediately. The late Mrs. Davis was the elder daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Geo Swanton, pioneers of Artemesia Township, and was born on the old homestead one and a half miles north of Flesherton, spending her early years there. She was united in mar- riage to Mr. Davis about forty five years ago and had resided on the farm on the east backline. Besides her sorrowing husband she leaves to mourn the loss of a Ijvingr wife and mother, five sons and two daughters: John A., Edward and Clare residing on nearby farms. Earl. Charles and Miss .Amelia at home, and Helen, (Mrs. Victor Brodie), on the townline of .Artemesia and Eu- phrasia. She also leaves one sister. Mrs. 'W. J. Davis, of Donald, Wash- ington, and two brothers, Robert Swanton of Donald. Washington, and William Swanton of the east back'ine. Artemesia. _. , ...

BNGAGEMENT Renewals Appreciated We are very appreciative for the many renewals that have come to the .Advance office during the past few weeks. There are many more who still remain in arrears and we appeal to these to send in all money due or even part of it. Your attention to this matter will assist us greatly, as this is one of three ways of producing revenue for .the conducting of our business. The other two are adver- tising and job work.

Come and help to make these meetings a real blessing to the community. One step further has been taken toward the freeing of Grey County »jerds from tuberculosis. In a letter dated August 13th re- ceived from the Health of -Animals Branch in reply to an enquiry re the gazetting of Grey County as a re- stricted area, the following statements were made. In reply I would say that the en- tire County of Grey was established as a resti-icted area for the eradica- tion of bovine tuberculosis by Order- in-Council P.C. 1349 on June 16, 1938. I would advise you, however, that it j is most unlikely that the initial test in this area will be commenced dur- I ing the present fiscal period. II would point out that althtugh the County of Grey has been established as a restricted area the regulations are not enforced until such time as ' the initial test is under way. Noth- ,irig will be done, therefore, previous to the first of .April, 1939. In the [meantime efforts will not be spared in an endeavour to get started in 1939. -Again the Grey County Branch of the Department of .Agriculture is giv- ing credit for the success of the work this far undertaken to the cattle owners themselves who have so ad- mirably supported the movement. The work done by the public spir- ited canvassers was exceptional their work being done well. Nothing car. repay them for time they spent with- out financial reward. The Live Stock Industry of Grey County owe them a debt that cannot be estimated. It may not be generally known but on July 1st all cattle shipped to the L'nited States, except for im- mediate slaughter Andrew Pallister Lost Fine Barn And Crop Through Fire Mr. .Ajidrew Pallister of Osprey I township lost his fine large bam by j fire Tuesday afternoon while thresh- I ing was in progress. The separator, ' owned by Mr. Wm. Seeley, was de- I stroyed together with the season's j hay and grain crops, binder, mower, I seed drill, cutter, buggy land roller, ' four small pigs and some chickens. 1 It svas estimated that about forty t(pns of hay and 1200 bu:jhels of ! grain were also destroyed. ; Mr. Pallister was in the straw mow j while Lawrence Fenwick was standing REV. .ALFRED J.

H. W. KERN aH AN GAVE TKOrri^ TObOWLERS Mr. H. W. Kernahan has presented a fine large trophy for competition between the Dundalk and Flesherton clubs in men's doubles. Four rinks each are to be chosen from the two clubs with four games played, the total number ol games won deciding the winners of the trophy. If the num- ber of games won by each club are the same the winner will be decided by the plus system. The first tourn- ament for possession of the trophy will be played on the Dundalk greens this coming Tuesday evening. blazing on top of the straw. In the excitement the straw fork was used â- .o beat out the blaze, but in place of __ having the desired effect spread the fire to a wider extent. 'When it was seen that the blaze could not be sub- dued the alarm was given and all hands were enabled to escape. In an instiint the entire inside of the bam was a seething mass of flames and nothing further could be done. The wind blew sparks directly to Mr. Pal- lister's house and a bucket brigade was formed to prevent fire starting there. .About twenty cords of wood were piled close to the bam and this was an entire loss together with pari: of a nearby rail fence. Mr. Pallister carried insurance to the amount of Sl,500 on the bam, $400 on the hay and $200 on the "r-plements, but this will cover only Mr. Pal- Three rinks from Flesherton at- tended the men's bowling tournament j a small part of the loss when Scotch doubles were played, are required to !

Last week we placed ourselves in a position for censure when we let pas ur observation when reading proofs of Mr. and Mrs. Hilliard LeGard of Toronto visiting at Eugenia. We wish to correct the impression left in the minds of our readers that Hilliard has taken unto himself a wife. Recently Hilliard had been visiting in the United States and some of his frienda thought that he had been holding back some starthng news from them â€" he is still treading the safe but narrow path of a bachelor. Hilliard's membership in the "Sacred Order of Bachelors" will not be jeop- ardized by our oversight. We con- gratulate Hilliard that he has been able to escape the wiles of woman- kind for so long, but we would be pleased, also, one of these days to see him hooked by some nice girl who would teach him that married bliss is not so bad. 5 STITCHES IN FACE at Orangeville on Monday night tak- ing part in a mixed tournament but failed to place in the prize class.

Dur- ing recent weeks, however, excellent growing conditions have prevailed and crop prospects are reporteii good at the present time. There are some indications that the com borer infest- ation may show an upward trend this year, but it is too early yet to fore- east to what extent the crop may be injured, although the vigorous growth will tend to offset the damage. The acreage of corn for husking this year is estimated at 180,130 acres as com- pared with 166.593 acres in 1M7.
