A sumptuous lunch was served and after everyone had done am- pl-e justice, the young, and old, chased the speeding hours With hurrying feet.

Dear Friends â€"We, your neigh- bors, friends and fellow Grangers have met here together to spend a pleasant evening With you, and to present you with a small token of our esteem.

While the cobbler of a few gen- !erations ago took over a day to ’make a single pair of boots, some ifactories now turn out no fewer ithan ten. thousand pairs in the 'same time. How is it done? It is all the work of a vast piece of machinery. worked by hundreds of different men, engaged upon var- ious {portions of the boot. Each boot takes just four minutes to make. and the totalcost of the la- bor £01 a cheap pair is about twenty axis. The buttons, or eyelets. for instance, are thrown into a machine with the leather,‘ to which they are to be affixed, and in less than a. twinkling of an eye, out comes the finished article L ’ Bill Seaton was found dead on the roadside by Mr. Neil McDoug- all, on the find concession, North line, Glenelg, on iWednesday morn-1 ing, the ‘1'3th, about 10 o’clock. The! evening previous, he :Was seen go- ing to Markd'ale, and on his return he apparently took a fainting. spell, and probably :lay down in} the snow and fell asleep, never to wake. When Mr. .M'cDougall found' him, he was lying on his side, and on turning him over, he found he' was frozen stiff. Probably it would be some. time about mid- night when he came to his final spot of rest on earth. He was a bachelor, and about 54 years of age, and had a small house at sideroad 40, on the north side of the Durham Road, Glenelg, on Stonehouse’s farm, and worked here and there to make a living. He was a harmless man, and as glong as he had a loaf of bread in :the house, and tobacco, .he was {quite content. The remains are lying yet, this Saturday, the 16th, ‘ in undertaker Watson’s =hall, await- .ing some of his sisters, and a .brother, to come and take charge gof his burial. He will be buried in meellie’s cemetery, Durham Road, ’Where the remains of his father and mother lie. On account of the ‘stop-ov-er by snowdrifts, the .gfriends didn’t arrive till late Sat- »? urday afternoon, so the funeral Will ', be held on IMonday afternoon, the 2:18th inSt. Mrs. Neil McLean Writes from' Roundup, Montana, stating that she and her brother, Neil McCan- nel, intend leaving for Durham‘ on Tuesday, the 19th inst.

More snow fell that day than any day during the Winter. at nine o’clock Tuesdaiy evéning. The loss is about $2000, With no insurance. going north at- noon on Tuesday four horses belonging to John Chambers, which were let out for water, and strayed onto the tracks were killed, three outright, and the fourth had to be destroyed. The owner places his loss at about $900 and at this season such horses are not easily replaced. The Dauphin Basket Works, at Ridgetown, Were destroyed by fire The Rev. A. A. Bice in his commun- ication asks what is the matter with us. he must mean in our newspaper work as there can be no cause for complaint otherways. Weil times have changed. About the time he left there were lots of weddings to report so that our budgets were bright and corres- ponding was a lively job. but those good people witha couple of excep- tions have been having an entirely uneventful life ever since and news gathering is a slow job. Messrs. Jas. Mathews and Pete Black had Harry Wilkinson with his sawing machine last. we k cutting their year‘s wood. Mr. John Main had a most success- ful sale last; Wednesday, a monster crowd and good px-iceg horses bring- ing as high as $230, cows as high as $65, sheep and pigs also high. The people of this place all extend hearty good wishes to Miss Minnie, Johnson. and Mr. Will Freeman who join heart. and hand this Tuesday and leave on Wednesday to start life in a village a short distance from Regina. The. marriage will he a private affair and only the immediate relatives wlli be. present. Mr. Robert Mathews who has been confined to the house during the wint- er through illness is improving nicely and waiting for warm weather to be arnund again. Mr. Jas. Johnson is preparing to start on his farm again this spring and as farming a good farm is a. heavy job he may form a. pzu'umrship. Owing to the funeral of the late Dr. Kelly Rev. Hartcly was unable to be present at St. Pauls on Sunday but some of the good attenders who had not got. word were present. Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Tucker visited the farmer’s sister at; the Rocky on Sun- day. Mr. Geo. Lawrence was more seri' ously ill than we thought at our last writing. He had inflamation of the bowels but is recovering nicely. The Methodist people of Holstein seem to lead in celebrating: events in a. very fitting manner. Their point” cake entertainment, on Irishman’s nightisahrighr idea. We wouldn’t be surprised if they went; up to Dn’rham before Spring and ask the Library Board for the loan 0f their new Carnegie Building to hold a pan- cake social in. Mr. Robert Smith was out this way one. day last week and sold three of the International Blue Bell Cream- Sepamtur-S. He has MWuys been re- liable in his dealings with the peeple of this part. but the real came of sales is that the Blue Bell is calculated to be one of the very best separators on the market and with cows at $65 each fanners-have try and make the must of them. Mr. and Mrs. Joe. Brown of Durham spent s part of last week with the latters parents. Mr. and Mrs. J as. Tucker. The former renewed 01d acquaintenees with the saw and axe. Mrs. Catharine Baird returned from Holstein where she had been ill for sometime and is staying with her daughter, Mrs. Jas. Allen. Her youngest daughter has been home from Saskatchewan paying her a visit. during her illness. Miss Katie Allen went; to Toronto last. Saturday to spend the summer. Don’t forget the entertainment under the auspices of the Varney Grange on Friday evening, March the 22nd. ‘ Mr. John Marshall declared war on the old frame silo the other day had it cut in halves, and intends to convert it into various uses. Mr. Alex. S'myth is another of our progressi e farmers, and will soon have fine accommodation for barn and shed room, having re- moved all the buildings from the old Boltz farm over to his own barn, on the formerly Thos. Gadd home. 1 Mr. Jimmy Blyth disposed of an exceptionally fine drove of fat bullocks at 6% and 7 cents per lb. to be delivered for CEaste r beef.

BLYTH’S CORN ERS. , The spring-like days, following on the trail of the big snow-storm on Friday last, are making the roads very soft, and the unusual great depth of snow on the roads will make traffic almost impossible when once the snow gets rotten.

The Whitby incident supplies the Provincial Health Department with another argument in favor of com- pulsory vaccination, as does the Grand ValLey epidemic of two weeks, ago, where ten cases were reported before the Provincial In- spector got to work, and not one afterwards.

SMALLI‘OX IN HAND A1 WHITBY COLLEGE. Every teacher and pupil in the iOntario Ladies’ College at Whit- ,b}' has undergone the ordeal of ,vaccination in the past week. Two leases of smallpox were discovered in the college and a hurry-up call was sent to Provincial Headquar- ters. Dr. R.W. Bell, Provincial In- spector, and the leading smallpox expert in Ontario, went down and as a result of the energetic meas- ures he instituted, practically all danger of the disease spreading has been averted. The two girl victims have been isolated and the entire college disinfected. The 10- cal medical health officer vaccinâ€" ated the girls, the task occupying two days. the loaded sleigh passed him, he did not just like the look of the load, and on closer scrutiny could discern the end of a barrel pok- in g out from under the covering of bags.
