Farmers bank shareholders and de- positors met at Milton on Friday last when it was suggested that the new Parliament be asked to appoint a commission to look into the incorpor- ation of the bank and the situation génerally. Should the commission's report be favorable. the Government would be asked to afford some finan- cial redress. Another meeting willbe held for a definite decision. As slide crafty Jim Conmee. of Rainy River district announces, that he will not accept nomination in the coming election deferred for his benefit--his health will not allow him, etc. ete. Will anyone mourn Jim's departure from the legislative halls.? Not a soul unless it be his personal followers. He was in politics "what there's in it." and realizing how illy he would fare under the new regime if he succeeded in retaining his seat. which was more than doubt- ful. he decides to quit the game. Not the least of the blessings which will follow the vote of Sept. 21, 1911.-- One of the most remarkable old |ladies in Kinloss township is Mrs. Me- | Mullen who lives with her son-in-law | Thomas Henry at Holyrood. She _ is | 86 years of age. but is as smart and capable around the house yet as num- Re- cently from a web of cloth. she cut | fitted and made herself a dress. do-| ing all the scissors and needle work about the garment. and good judges say that it is a perfect fit. a better fit. indeed than was a similar gar- ment made for her by a professional dressmaker a year ago. Mrs. Mc- Mullen was born in South Ontario and well remembers the days of the Kenzie rebellion. toric relics ever discovered in Ontar- io was unearthed last week on the farm of Villiam Ripen. of Aldbor- ough township near Rodney. Mr. Ripon with another man was engaged in digging a ditch whenthey discovered what thev first thought was a stump. On shovelling away the away the earth they uncovered the lower jaw of: some prehistoric masta- don. The jaw was four feet in leng- th and the teeth were in splendid con- dition and all four inches wide and leight inches long. Later they brought j to light two ribs seven feet long. a shoulder blade. and the "atlas" or | bone which connects the spine with 'the skull all in good condition. The [last portion of the skelton measures | ten times as large as that of the biggest horse, It is said a tusk and fragments of such (a skelton were were found on a farm close to the | present place some years ago and al- |so on a farm near Clachan twenty 'years ago. The parts of the prebis- toric animal were placed on exhibition at the Rodney fair. was expected after the land-| One of the most interesting prehis- | | representation in 'the House of Com- /mons from 25,000 to 32,000. This will result in Nova Scotia and New Bruns- wick each losing two seats and Prince Edward Island losing one seat. On- ;tario will certainly gain no members and may lose one or two. The prov- inces west of Lake Superior will gain 'about 27 additional members, which | will increase the members in the House of Commons after redistribu- {tion from 221 to 241 members. Since the quashing of the conviction ,of Albert Broughton by Magistrate , Davis. of Mitchell. for refusing to ,permit Engineer Rogers from enter- ing on his place. Mr. Geo. Broughton 'has been advised by his counsel that 'counsel for the prosecution has con- 'sented to permit him to obtain an or- camp der to quash the conviction of Messrs. ! for, Edward. George and James Brough- | ton. This means that the fines will | will be remitted and the order bind- 'ing them»over to keep the peace will |be annulled. It is also likely that the case now pending against three of the brothers will also be abandoned. The newrecteryinconnection with the Anglican church. is fast nearing completion and it is hoped that an- other month will see it ready for oc-| !cupation.

The pro- | oeeds are for the payment of what | debt remains on it and they hope for the generous patronage of the people of town and vicinity--Blyth Standard The Elma Methodist church anni- Mce-| versary services on Sunday and Mon- | day were most successful. On Sun- day the pastor. Rev, W. H Cooper. preached to a good audience and in the evening the Rev. John Little. Presbyterian minister of North Morn- | ington. preached an excellent sermon to a crowded house. The fowl sup- per served by the ladies in the shed 'hall was the best ever both as_ to j quality and quantity. There was an abundance of everything. A good pro- gramme was presented in the church after the supper. Rev. W H Cooper acted as chairman and the following took part; Duets by Mr. and Mrs. W H. Grosch: solos by Mrs. Steinhoff. 'Messrs. Nicklin and Wray; quartettes 'bv Mr. D. J Nicklin. Mr Bert Wray Miss Nicklin and Mrs. Cooper; violin | Solo by Miss J. Nicklin, Miss White and Miss Nicklin and Mrs. Cooper played the accompaniments. dresses were delivered by Revs. Rob- inson and Gischler. The weather was beautiful and large numbers attend- ed from Milverton and seemingly en- joyed themselves immensely. The proceeds amounted to over $67.00. The ladies are to be especially congratu- 'lated on the splendid supper prepared Ad-| 'lation is-stated to be well under the eight-million mark which enthusias- tic prophets had foretold. The re- turns show that Toronto and Mon- treal have made the largest gains in population, The former has the great~- centage of gain and the latter the largest gain in numbers. In Ontario 'the population of the rural districts has fallen off. notably in Western On- tario from which there has been a large migration to the West since the last census. This has been great- ly offset by a great increase of popu- lation in Northern Ontario in the 'four districts of Nipissing. East and | West Algoma. and Rainy River and Thunder Bay. where the population has more than doubled. All the west- ern provinces show great gains the largest percentage of gain being cred- ited to Alberta. The cities of Win- nipeg and Calgary show the largest gains of any of the western cities. } --- | SCHOOL REPORT. | Report of S. 8. 11, Elma, for the month of September.
