Mr Editor, What: has oecom tf your Varuey Snipe?

Miss Jaques. of Toronto, came up to attend the funeral of her father,’ and be a. strength to her brother and siscer at home in this their time of trouble. Some Chronicle readers at a dis. tance wanted to know if the Spring Bank correspondent was frozen up This. together with the request of the editor to send in news, forces us to the conclusion that it is high time for us to waken up and report a little more frequently. The dificulty of getting budgets from here to the Chronicle ofice has a good deal to do With our slowness. But just wait until the new C. P. R. is completed, and as we eXpect we will have a eta- tion and a post oflice in our midst, we will then have no excuse to ofier. We might say that there is not a home in this neighborhood where a copy of the Chronicle does not enter each week. More than that, there are dozens who have departed from here to dietant lands and the Chroni cle is one of their m08t welcome epistles. Therefore. a good live cor- respondent would certainly be up- pzeciated. So we must get a gait on and dig'in or we might lose our jub. The building committee have got the tendezs in for the new church and have called a meeting of the con- gregation for Wednesday night to report. Tuesday, Dec. 4th, Mr. Wm.

Miller McLean is rushing out the remainder of his stock. Three hun- dred cords of wood were shipped to Toronto last week, his fence posts disposed of to the new R.R. and next week the team commence haul- ing ninety thousand feet of lumber to Durham. Mac. has been a hustler during his short stay in this part. Deep feelings of sadness passed over this neighborhood on Friday morning when it was learned that Mr. Joseph Jaques had died of heart failure in a somewhat similar way to that of his beloved partner only six months ago, thus making the home doubly sad. He was one of Glenelg’s pioneer settlers. living until recently in the new survey. but for the past 3 years on the Matthew’s farm. the third lot north of the townline on the 2nd concession. His esteemed life partner was one of the well known Harriston family. and a large family was the result of the union. The funeral takes place to-day (Monday) and will be largely attended as he has always been helu in high esteem. Mr. Isaac Hooper. after Spending a few months in the North Wot-t re. turned home a couple of weeks ago looking fat and well. Mr. Colin Kennedy is at present engageé at_the_cement plant in_t.own.
