Mr. S. D. Croft, agent, and Mr. R.J. Moorhead, Passenger engineer on the Durhamâ€"Palmerston branch, accom- .

Mr. Lavelle’s headâ€" quarters are now at Stratford, and in his capacity as inspector of rules for the Grand Trunk system, works all over Western Ontario. He One of our young men. got a cargo of moonshine aboard one evening last week and tried to make a summer sleeping porch of the front veran- dah of one of our residents. As the property owner in this case did. not relish the idea of having his domi- cile turned into a Keeley Institute, the offender was arrested and the police magistrate muloted him $5.00 and costs. As. the law now stands, a man with a tep-heavy load of “moon” should waste no time in hiking for the tall timbers and go into seclusionuntil the “moon” is eclipsed. Hanging around the front streets, or roosting on the front steps of private residences is a dangerous practice, and is a sport that is at present strictly out of date. Rule Inspector Here Last Week.

On Tuesday evening an auto acci- dent occurred on the .Provincial' Highway about three miles this side of Mount Forest, and as a result two cars were rather badly used up. We haxe not learned the particulars, more than than two cars, one be- longing to L. B. Nicholson of Holstein and driven by a Mount Forest garage employee, and a car driven by Mr. C. McEwen garageman of Durhwam came together on a narrow strip of road and side-swiped each other. Both were badly damaged, and the McEwen car skidded and went half over a nearby bridge, being held in position only by the'hind wheels. ‘It will cost a good bit to put them in shape for the road again. v â€"v â€"'-I.‘I The Saugeen Presbyterian will meet at Arthur next.
