Hart, is giving good satisfaction. Such a course of things will bring honor to himself and to the trustees of the school. Mr. Jas.‘ Hardy has been canvassing the farmers in this section for the pur- pose of organizing a joint stock com- pany to purchase a threshing machine; but we have not heard what success he met with. The idea is a good one and should command consideration. Since the 6th of this ,month, election day, we have made no comment on the defeat! of the liquor party and the great victory for local option. Every Christian home has reason to rejoice that there is no place in this township outside of Fen- elon Falls where the boys can buy liquor. The time is not far distant when the bars in the Falls will be abolished, and the family physician will have an oppor- tunity to use his skill. ’ The Epworth League convention is being held in Lindsay this week, and Miss Jennie Powles and Miss Flossie Moore are attending as delegates. TheRev. W. J. M. Cragg occupied the ' pulpit here last Sunday and preached, as usual, a sermon of great power. There is good evidence of increased spiritual strength amongst the members and corn gregation at this appointment. A young man in this neighborhood was looking for a situation and we advised him to go to Fenelon Falls and he might get a'job book-keeping in the new look- up, but the fact came into our mind that? the cooler was not dedicated yet. A shooting match took place since last writing at Mr. E. Beacock's,‘ some good marksmcn from Fenelon Falls were there, among the number being Mr. J. Palmer, and a few in this locality did some very good shooting. The trustees of the church and of the school have retained the services of W. H. Powlcs as care taker for 1908, and the littleman at the corner will spare no pains in doing the work as it should be done, so as to give the same satisfaction in the future asin the past. I Mr. Jas. Powles has been, confined to the house for over a week with the grip, 'of a like nature, but none very serious. ~Q- Coboconk.j ‘ ,, '.

Fairbairn. (Correspondence of the Gazelle.) _ The residents of this place were shock« ed on Monday morning to hear of the sudden death of Mrs. Alexander Connell, which took place on Monday morning. She had been ailing only a short time, suffering from bronchitis, and was not , thought to be in any dangerfbut a change to pneumonia proved fatal. The funeral to the Dory‘s Green cemetery on Wed-â€" nesday was well attended showing the esteem in which she was held. Mr. Cou- nell has the sympathy of the entire, community in his sad bereavement.
