Tara. Feb. ZO.-In the death of Mrs. Andrew King. of the Township of Elderslie. there passed away one of the oldest personages of this section of of the country. She was aged 105 years. 3’ She was a woman 0t remark- able physique, and even ‘during her last years was active and possessed of good health. Mrs. King was born in cerned. In the minds of the populace, gener- ally. future meetings will turn out the same way. and unless it is to get even with the electric light company or a desire on the part of the City Fathers to make C:u°etaker Davidson earn his salary. it is thought that no more 5 ‘cial meetings will be called on account of that new armory.

The nearest that we canI gather is that the man of the acrobatic i turns wandered into town from no one i knows where and proceeded to juire' up on all the superfluous tangle-loot that was lying round. Un towards evening he got quite sloppy. Crossing Lamhton street he suddenly took a}. notion to pour the imnost feelings of! his soul skyward. and was getting! through the. ordeal at a great clip when he struck a slippery piece of pavement. Here both his soles took flight, and while one part of his com- position floated heavenward the other part journeyed the other direction, striking terra firma with a jar that would do credit to a full grown steam hammer. The next scene opened with a flow of cuss words that would have sent his Satanic Majesty looking for a new home, and the last the Chronicle man saw of the fellow from nowhere he was gliding g'acefully up the hill} in the arms of the law to spend the; evening in the building overlookingi the Saugeen. at the. expense of the! town. a $116. wax‘m the Windstorm on Monday and Tuesday, the railroads are again tied up and. at. time of writing last night’s mail train is stalled somewhere between here and Palmerston.

A fellow could get a box, in fact the pick 1 of the bunch, for a matter of $5, as s : highest only brought $4." 45, \\ hile the second-class only brought $4. There i was also pick and choice in the ladies, :as they were there ahnost from the l cradle to the grave enjoying them 1 selves to their heart’s content. \Ve l will never again say a word against a box social as there can surely be no I wrong in anything that gives so much ipleasure, especially to the ladies, and ;as some walk a long distance them can Ebe no doubt of how they enjoy a. i affair of the kind. \Ve are very sorry to hear of the severe illness from appendicitis of Miss Jdith Allan, daughter of Mr. \Villiam Allan. As the word just, comes to us at the time of writing, we are unable to say if an operation will be necessary. Miss Sheldon, of Pike Lake, visited the Gordon family last, week, and was one of the best entertainers at: the Orange box sacial. Mr. J ames Lawrence has rented the farm recently purchased by Joe Len~ mm, and is moving in. That mime quilt seems as if it will cover the entire church debt, the Workers are putting so much spirit in- to the business and have their agents at. work. Mr. James Allan took the matter in hand one day last week, and with old time Vim and deploumcy :Lc~ complished so much in a short time that it should encourage him to become a. zealous church worker. Notice to Delinquents LADIES .Axxo GExTLEMExzâ€" During the summer and fall we published a series of notices to delinquent subscribers asking for payment of arrears at one dollar a year or' $1.50 if we should be obliged to place accounts in other bands for collection. We met with a. generous response, over $700 being paid in. We thank all who attended to our request. but; Orangemen went from this part Fri- day night to learn more of the secrets of their fair Order. And lovers of the dance went to Spring Bank to further acquaintance with the light hearts of that burg. The neighbors are preparing :L sur- prise fur Mr. and Mrs. (3. Gray this Tuesday night.

There seems to be paying Christians as well as praying ones in those cot- tage Prayer Meetings to the north of us. A collection was taken up last Thursday night to help feed the needy ones of Toronto, and five dollars realized. Some of our people seemed astonish- ed to see two young ladies making their way home from a visit after the big storm dressed in overalls. But we see nothing uncommon abou t- it, as women always wear the pants during a storm, and that, we consider. is the reason so many well meaning young men are giving a silk dress instead of a. favorable reply to the numerous leap year proposals floating around. \Ve have not yet sent in our second batch of subscription accounts, but wil’. shortly.
