ORE SS WELL The basket social at Mr. Johnston’s proved a decided success. The program was good. The baskets figured up well. Amount realized $40. Mr. Fred Powers of Teeswater gave us a flying visit last week. We need not say that he was a welcome visitor. We are sorry to hear of Mrs. Lucy Ramsey’s illness, but faint hopes are en- tertained of her recovery. How is it that Manilla‘s celebrated foot- bill team do not. come down to play the “Natives” of Creswell the return match? Mr. E. Evans of this village has lately purchased a gasoline engine and chopper and is prepared to do chopping for the public. Mr. B. Woodward, who has been living here for the past year, is moving to Cannington. where he is gomg into business with his brother. ~ MA NILLA The social and entertainment held last Friday evening in the Methodist church was a very successful event, and was attended and enjoyed by quite a large number of people.

B URNT RIVER Mrs. Booth of Darlington is visiting friends here. A good many are complaining with colds and la grippe. Mrs. W.

Mr. John English, who had his house burned a short time ago, has nearly completed his new residence, which he is building in the south end of the village. Mr. A. Sinclair lost a valuable horse in a peculiar way. He hitched his team to draw cordwood, and he thinks the sleigh tongue struck against the horse’s leg and broke it. The leg was broken at any rate, and the horse had neither slipped nor fallen. The Plymouth Brethren, who have been holding services every W'ednesday evening for the last three weeks, have concluded to hold services here every night for the next week or two, So far not much is known about them. Will be able to report more next week. Owing to the recent rains and thaws the snow is about gone and conse- quently the seighing. East and west made are bare. Still the people are drawing logs and wood to the yard at the station, where the wood is shipped to different points and the logs cut into shrimes for the railroad. Mr. John Miller, who has been a resident of this Village for the past few months, has removed his family to Coboco_k, where he has obtained a inent part in re no doubt his remova of regret to his co-workers.

This is that colder weather may preserve the carcasses. The petition will be presented to the legislature at its next session. It has its difficulties. The ice, by the 15th often makes getting out by canoe, a difficult matter. If the hunting only be- gins at that date it will mean an end of hunting on water. Many who cannot take deer anywhere else will object. On the other hand those who want to see the game protected Will object too. The water is the deer’s only hope of escape from dogs. If they are chased after the icecomes they will be at the mercy of their pursuers. If this change is made in the time, then dogs must be done away with. The later date and only still hunt- mg would be a decided improvement. This movement is worth watching by lovers of sport.
