The car of 3 Hanover gentleman, Sarvis by name, got into a smash- up with a McLaughlin on the North Proxincial Highway one evening last week when returning from Shel- burne. The former, in getting off the road to let the McLaughlin pass, swerved on to the road in the path of the lighter car and was carried a distance, thrown into the ditch and sustained the following damages: Front wheel broken, front axle brok- en. radiator crushed and otherwise damaged. Sarvis admitted he was at fault, and the McLaughlin con- tinued on its way little damaged. At the monthly meeting of the Centre Grey Baseball League, it was decided to allow Durham to enter if they so desired. Durham applied for entrance into the league some time ago. Should Durham enter the. league. there should be some real snappy ball, as they are said to possess a good team. On Thursday of last week, the Park Hotel and property, formerly known as the Temperance House, and owned by a hotel company, was sold to Mr. A. B. Ferris who has conducted the hotel for the past three years. The Park Hotel was built some '18 years ago and was named the Temperance House, be- ing a departure from the class of old hotels that sold “hard” refresh- ments, and was first run by Mr. W. W'. Trimble of Flesherton. Since that time, there have been four or five tenants, and for the past three years, has been efficiently run by Mr. Ferris. The building is three storeys high and is of brick construction throughout, and besides this, there is a large. barn on the, property, and we understand that the. purchase price, was $3.000 Mr. Ferris has already commenced the installation of water works and will add all eonviences that a hotel should have. making it one of the best in this part of Ontario. While travelling to Schumherg to fill his new charge in the l'uited Church, Rev. Dr. Caldwell, formerly pastor of Alton church, received cuts on his hands, and Mrs. Cald- well received severe lacerations to her head when a coupe which they were driving collided with a C. P.

This year we have noticed a num" her of articles in ditferent. papers in Grey County mentioning the success different black fox breeders have had in raising pups from their stock this year. Some very good records have been made, but we do not think any of them can surpass Mr. James Dargavel of Rock Mills who has been breeding foxes for a number of years past. Mr. Dar- gavel has 37 black fox pups this season and was fortunate in not los- ing one from any cause. Including this year's pups. Mr. Dargavel has 65 foxes including some. of the best stock there is in Ontario and is now in a position to realize on his in- vestment.
