WOULD APPRECIATE PHONOGRAPH RECORDS Local Hospitfal Has Phonograph but Nothing to Play on It. Some time ago Mr. W. A.

Reid Teak Place Friday Afternoon of Last Weekâ€"Was One of Pioneers of Egremont. The funeral of the late Peter 0. Reid whose obituary appeared in our last issue, was held Friday af- ternoon of last week, a large num- ber of friends of the family. from town and countr being present at the services at t a home. Follow- ing a comforting sermon by Rev. W. H. Smith, pastor of Knox United} church, the cortegc proceeded to Maplewood cemetery, where all that was mortal of one of the oldest Egremont pioneers was laid to rest. The pail bearers were, Messrs. W. H. Hunter, James Allan, John Scott and William Brown of Egremont, David Lamb, a nephew, of Bentinck, and John Henry of Durham. Among the floral tributes laid on the cas- ket were a‘ pillow‘from the family, ”774- _--1 a wreath from John and Margaret Scott, and sprays from Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Laughtlon and family of Fort William and Mr. H. 0. Whitby of Durham. 8 II“' ‘J. The passing of Mr; Reid at the advanced age of nearly 93 years is the severance of another link with the early history of Egremont Town- ships. When a young man the shopping of this district was done: in (Tluelph, and the deceased made many trips to the Royal City on foot, the only mode of conveyance in those early days. Leaving his farm home in the late afternoon. he would spend the first night at Hol- stein, make the trip through to Guelph the next day, and after spending a day there, would return to Egremont the day following with his purchases. ‘ L- -... On one of these trips. he en-‘ countered a big burly negro while on his way home, the latter evi- dently bent on holding him up and robbing him. Deeming discretion the better part of valor, Mr. Reid took to his heels with the negro hotly in pursuit, and after a race of over a mile. succeeded in out- distancing his opponent... Another incident related by the deceased was of a trip he once made to Hamilton for money with which to pay off the balance due on his 200-acre farm in Egremont. Mr. Reid carried this money, a large amount, in twenty dollar gold pieces, in a belt secured around his body inside'his clothes. In these early days. it is needless to say that a trip from Hamilton to Egremont on foot and with a large sum of money. “on his person was anything but *pleasant. and it can be easily un- derstood that he breathed easier when his trip was completed and he returned to his own home in safety. We regret very much to chronicle the passing of these old pioneers who have done so much to how from the wilderness the comfortable homes and smiling fields which their children now in many cases still occupy with comfort and happiness. STEINACHER NOW ON N. H. L. EXECUTIVE Popular Durham Young Man Is New- est Addition to Northern League Moguls. Milton Steinacher, more familiar- ly known to his friends in town as “Ike,” was appointed to the execu- tive of the Northern Hockey League at their annual meeting in Palmers- ton Tuesday afternoon. Ike is busy today receiving the congratulations of his friends around town. Since coming to Durham to work in the Veteran Billiard Parlor, he has made many friends and has been much interested in hockey and other ‘sports. He is to be congratulated upon receiving the honor of an executive position in the N.“H. L. v r..'__.. The officers. who were all re- elected, are B. L. H. Bamford of Listowel. President; M. 0. Bridge of Wingham, Secretary, and Rube Horning of Palmerston, Treasurer. The prospects are good for a busy season in the Northern, particularly in the junior group. It is under- stood that Hanover, Mount Forest, Harriston, Listnwel, Milverton, Mit- chell, Palmerston and Durham are amonfil those clubs that have intim- ated t eir intention of entering jun- lior teams. ‘â€" ‘~-u-â€".lv This year there will be an inter- mediate series in the Northern League which will consist. of the teams finishing second in their grow». Another change is that jun- ior players are permitted. to play series. U As yet no one has been found to manage either the junior or inter- mediate teams here, but that is not bothering the boys. They have been working hard at track and gym work and should be in fine shape to begin the season with a bang when the ice is here.

LOCAL WATER SUPPLY NOT SATISFACTORY Recent Samples Sent to Provincial Analyst. Do Not Measure Up to Required Standards, According to rReport Placed Before Council Mon- day by Dr. A. M. Bell, M. O. H. At the regular meeting of the Town Council held, Monday night, Dr. A. M. Bell, Medical Officer of Health, laid his report for the year on the table. During the year, there were 23 births and 29 deaths. The former maintained a pecrentage of 14.1 against the provincial rate of 23.3 per cent. The latter compared ;with the provincial rate as 178 to 10.8. Dr. Bell reported an inspec- tion of the High and Public schools which were in a satisfactory sani- tary condition. He reported an in- spection of the two local dairies, and also referred to the practice of two local fur dealers in keeping skunk skins in storage in town to the annoyance of the residents in 7 their localities.
