For- est en the 29th of January, at the age of 101 years, 22 days. She was born in County Monoghan, Ireland. Last week, We announced the death of John Golightly, who died near the same place in his 102r~d year. Another change is announced by a partnership formed this week between Frank Lenahan and- Geo. McKechnie, to continue and con- duct the hardware and furniture business carried on here for some time under the name of Lenahan 8: Co. The firm will be known hereafter as Lenahan M'eK'echnie Both of the members of the newly-'formed firm are popular business men, and as they have been before the public in this 10- cality for a number of years, they need no introduction. The street corner faker that was here at the last horse fair, has not been held in the highest es- teem by some citizens since then. His language is said to have been blasphemous and offensive, and steps were taken to bring him to time, but he got away before a summons was served on him to appear in the police court. If he ever comes back, he’ll likely put a bridle on his tongue and be more guarded in his utterances. As constable W'helan had been out of town for a few hours serving summonses elsewhere, he was un- able to discharge his duties here, and the offender got wise and left before action could be taken. Even if these gentry do get a li- cense to display their wares. it doesn’t give them the privilege to lindulge in blasphemy of indecent flanguage. Since the death of the late Mr. Lauder, the registrarship for this riding has been vacant, and it is quite probable a new appoint- ment will be made soon. We un- derstand that Mr. M. K. Richard- son, of Flesherton, is the man to whom the first choice will be giv- en, but whether he will accept or not, is unknown to us at time of writing. Mr. Richardson is an un- selfish and honorable man, and we make this statement after an intimate acquaintance of nearly thirty years. We believe his de- cision in the matter will be gov- erned by the most careful thought, not for his own welfare alone, but for the good of the community. Since the foregoing was in type, we learn that Mr. Richardson has accepted the position, and will assume the duties of office per- Keep February 17th open for Henry Lawrence’s auction sale.

McGrath, Durham. Mr. Wm. Lawrence has been quite ill for the past week - or more. He is improving, by last accounts. Harriston has had only one pa- per since the Tribune petered out two or three years ago, under the management, or mismanagement of John A. Copeland. There is some talk now of another paper being started by a Mr. Robertson, son of a former editor of The Tribune. Harriston had three pa- pers at one time, but we never heard of any of them becoming millionaire concerns. If we read the signs of times aright, very few local newspaper owners are in a get-rich-quick business. The Kincardine Reporter an- nmmcos that Martin James Arm- strong, a Kincardine boy, now owner of the Nanton Valley ranch, in Alberta, was mulcted $20,000 00 by a jury in Calgary for breach of prom’se to marry Miss Louisa Collard, 27 years old, a school teacher of Nanton, to whom he is alleged to have been engaged} This is the biggest breach of promise damage ever given in Canada. If Miss Collard gets the money, she’ll find that being jiltcd pays better than teaching school, and Martin James will be more careful in future in his matrimon- ial promises The suffragettes are playing the mischief in London, England, and their is no telling to what extent they may carry on their depreda- tions Window smashing, and other destruction of property is most ruthlessly indulged in They seem to have sunk so low that their conduct will lose to them the respect that mankind always entertained for the so-called weaker sex Whether women should have votes or not is a question we do not propose to discuss They may be equally in- telligent with men in every resâ€" pect, but more pacific means would have greater influence in securing the franchise , The sand fields, near Hepworth are about to be developed The sand has been reported second to none for moulding purposes, and for the manufacture of novelties -A company has been formed by Mr E.

Hop- kins. of Saskatoon. During the few minutes we were in conversa- tion with him, we were more than astonished to learn of the very rapid growth of that western city. He tells us that nine years ago the population was 113, and that the census of a few weeks ago shows a population of 32,5(0. He also tells us that the building permits issued for 1913 amount to about twelve million dollars, or five million dollars in excess of the building permits issued 'by the city of Toronto at the present date.

Other places near by are as follows: Cheslcy. $21,- ‘200; Hanover, $05,000; Palmerston, $10,000; Wiarton, $20,000. We pre- sume the amounts given- are all for the erection of post offices. An entertainment in the inter- ests of the Y. P. S. C.E. will be held in Knox church, Normanby, on Thursday evening, February 20th. A good program is being prepared. The Ayton choir will furnish music, and other talent is expected. Admission 15c. and 10c. G i The weather since Saturday has been stormy and disagreeable, but the temperature has not been ex- tremely low. Toronto has not yet reached zero weather this season. The roads in town and vicinity are very icy, and horses have to be sharp shod to ensure their safety. There is very little snow, and automobiles are com- mon things on the streets. It is rumored around town that the town hall property and part of the Hahn property have been decided on as the site for the new post office. We have had no dir- ect information regarding the selection, although we were ad- vised some time ago that we would be kept posted. We would like to know definitely What ac- tion has been taken, but we have Mr. Edwin Hunt, of Traverston, has sold his farm to Mr. George Peart, at a satisfactory sum to both buyer and seller. Mr. Hunt intends going to Saskatchewan in the early spring to continue his homestead duties. While he may better his condition by doing so, we regret to see so many of our good citizens leaving Ontario. We would like to have regular budgets from all our correspond- ents. Some have not been send- ing us very much of late. While we do not encourage the report- ing of small gossip, we would like to have an account of all the gen- eral happenings from each locality. We appreciate all past services, and hope to have a continuance of the same good work. no knowledge We can vouch for. It may be settled, but reports went out before from the press which turned out to be incorrect. Rev. Wm. McGregor, a pastor of the Baptist church here for a number of years, till succeeded by Rev. Mr. Newton, died suddenly on Sunday morning at his home in Virgil. He was 62 years of age, and for the past three years has had charge of the Virgil and Queenston pastorate. Two daugh- ters survive him. Mr. McGregor’s many friends here will regret to learn of his death. While in Dur- ham he was highly respected by all denominations. The City League hockey match between the furniture factory and cement works teams on Wednes- day night of last week, resulted in a win for the former, 4 to 3.
