It is said, and rightly, too, that it is an ill wind that blows that does no one good. Last week the snow plough was unable to pass down the Seventh near the highway owing to the overflow of the Nonquon. This necessitated the plough passing down the Brock Road and this road received a clearance of snow that had not re- ceived for many a long day. There are dozens upon dozens of families, south of Epsom, that the Uxbridge road would serve but once they get to the highway the traffic is lost to the bigger centres. The road that takes people to Uxbridge, (if it takes any) is the same road that will take Ux- bridge people to the places when they People always like to go where they can have At last, even thought the weather is still chilly, Spring is close at hand. The farmers are busily engaged in preparing the seed grain. The birds are singing and making ther nests; and warmer weather is close at hand. People who have had to den up all winter are now resuming their ac- customed occupations and are glad- dened to feel, if only occasionally, the warm rays of, the sun, a token of more pleasant days. : MARSH HILL It looks as though Spring was here as we see and hear many different signi, Miss Irene Swanick spent a week visiting at William White's, Mr. Wilmot Gregg and Mr. Geo.
