On March 5 she was taken suddenly ill. The day fodowing a consultation of docâ€" rors was held when it was decided to take her at once to the hospital when it was hoped by an operation he: ‘ life could be spared. On arrival at hospital it was found to be too late and all that loving hands could do was of no avail. Mrs. McLauchian was born near Dunedin, in Nottawasaga Township, about 1:5 years ago, and was the only dangbter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Cairns, formerly residents of Durham about thirty years ago, Mr. Cairns being preprietor of the Cen- tral Hotel at that time. When quite young she moved with her parents rom Dunedin to Holstein and from there to Priceville, where they re-l mained four years, moving next to’i Ceylon and from Ceylon to Durham, and from Durham back to Ceylon, where the greater part of her lite was spent. She was married 23 years ago to her now sorrowing hus- band, who has been very i.-l and who, with six children, J. 0., Mary, Ivan, Georgina, Eldon and {)ben, are left to mourn the loss of a kind wife and loving mother. She also leaves one brother, George, of Glenella, Man, who arrived in time to see his sister :iliw. Her brother Mark predeceas- uzl her in 1900, her mother in 1912, and her father in 1914.

Petty thievery still seems to be some people’s stock-in- trade, and it seems funny that they are not sometimes caught in the act. Some few weeks as, '0 we reported Mr. Alex. Honkins of Bentinck having his rig and team molested while in these premises and a hater stolen. He had previously lost a halter and robe. and thought the thing was becoming al- together too monotonous to suit him. Last Saturday afternoon Mr. Lawâ€" rence McFadden reported that the balls attached to his collar tops had been removed by some light-fingerâ€" ed artist. It is not our intention to throw suspicion on any 011e, but from the articles sto.‘en. it hardly seems pos- sible that any town boys could be guiltV of the thefts. W'hoeVeI it is, hOVwV e1, we hope they “ill be soon caught and no can promise that they will be given the fullest kind of publicity in these columns when the theft is proved against them.

BUGENIA SYSTEM NOW IN GEORGIAN BAY DISTRICT Five Systems Amalgamated Under One Head In Latest Change. ' “The Eugenia system of the Hydro has ceased to exist officially, accordâ€" ing to the latest ruling of the Hydro Commission. The Severn. Wlasdell, Big Chute. South Falls and Eugenia systems have been combined Into one unit and will henceforth he known as the Georgian Bay District 0; the Hydro. Each of the oldâ€"time districts. however. will not entirely lose their identity. but will be re- ferred to, for instance. as the Euge- ma “fiivision”. of the Georgian Bay iDistrict. and so on. The change in the grouping of thus section of the Ontario hydro has been ratified by the Legislature, and takes effect at once. Two weeks ago the chairman, Sir Adam Beck, had the matter up in the Ontario House, and at that time it was the intention to call the amalgamation the Mus- koka System. The Georgian Bay System, however, will .be more to the point, and will not affect the new system's efliciemg’ in any way.

BECKE'I'I' WORSTED IN HUNT FOR STILL Local Sherlock_ Holmes Duet The two local detectives, Falconer and Watson, have reason to feel .a trifle proud these days after the ram they made last Saturday on the farm of George Leggette, near the Rocky, and were successful in un- earthing, or, rather, unstrawing, a perfectly good working model of. a still, and a tub full of mash WIth which to keeplthe outfit goipg. ,s- -_-__- ov-w' For the past two years there has been a suspicion that all was not well in Denmark so far as the keep- ing of the O.T.A. was concerned in the vicinity of the Rocky, and on more than one occasion, Inspector Beckett and his aides have conduct, ed a search to find the paraphernalia used in the production of moon- shine, or squirrel whiskey, which-; ever you may want to call it. In-' spector Beckett has had both sides of the river searched up as far as the furniture company dam, and, we 'are told, had also conducted invest- igations into the swamps and other places in the neighborhood in an ef- fort to suppress the manufacture and bring the law'hreaker to justice. It was with some chagrin, then, that he heard on Sunday morning that the two Durham detectives had suc- ceeded where he had failed. The still was unique. There is no getting away from that fact, and was cleverly located. It was inside a straw-stack, where, in a room' about, eight feet square, was a gasoé line stove, a worm, and the mash. To throw the officers of the law off the track, the outside of the stack had some old buggy and wagon wheels placed up against it, a practice we believe is common in order to keep the straw in shape. At the bottom between two of the wheels was the entrance to the distil..ery, and it is little to be wondered that the officers had never before succeeded in locat- ing the place where it is alleged gouite a lot of moonshine has been ;made in the past couple of years. It is said that the mash captured was composed of potato peelings, apple nee ings. raisins, sweet clover and what- not. and was anything but1 a delectable mixture. It is new in‘ the possession of Constable Falcon- 01 and will probably be “Exhibit A" a. the t1ial VVhich is said may come oil 011 Saturday. As it is an Inland Rm enue case, it will be prosecuted bV the Dominion GOV ernment, which collects the fine if a comiction is made. We understand that no one was found making illicit liquor. but Mr. Leggette will have to explain the fact of it being on his premises. MRS. THOS.

Mr. Hartry addressed a meeting at Owen Sound the previous night and was to he at Hanover instead of here on Thursday night. For a number of reasons he could not appear at Hanover and at the last moment wired the directors here and it was agreed that he should come. In his introductory remarks he] spoke wisely and well of the bene-‘ fits or horticulture, and incidentally: touched on its influence in keeping the boys on the farm by improved home surroundings. His stereOpti- con illustrations were good and gave many valuable hints on tree-plant- ing, pruning, and the arrangement of shrubs, plants, and flowers, to im- prove the home surroundings. Dur- ing his address and at the close a number of questions were asked and :answered. It is to be regretted the i attendance was not larger.
