Bowes and McPherson. horse buyers of Toronto. were in Chesley last Thursday buying horses. They advertised that they wanted two earloads of horses, farm chunks, heavy horses and large-sized drivers, but if they used two cars to ship what horses they bought looking for snaps and weren’t pre- vâ€"-â€"â€" car, as their total purchases only amounted to four. For these they paid from $100 to $130. Farmers, who brought in horses, were of the opinion that these buyers were looking for snap and weren‘t pre- pared to part with their horse flesh at the low prices offered. On the other hand, the buyers thought prices asked here were consider" ably higher than at other points in the district. U u-wwcâ€"vv In one instance a farmer who had brought along a fine. big driver, asked $175 for the animal, and was greatly taken aback and quite angry when lthe buyer informed mAnn PA... Liquor Store For Palmerston 351‘ "he ébfiidh‘t give’ him $100 for his pacer.â€"Cheslcy Enterprise. Pew Horses Sold *‘wv- â€"â€"_ _ There are many rumors afloat regarding the establishment of a liquor store in Palmerston. In fact, vague rumors have been in circulation for some time past but lately the reports have been taking more tangible form. Certain offi- cials who represent the control board have made several trips to Palmerston and certain properties were examined. On Monday of last week when Anthony Lorentz’s son was clean- ing out the horse stable. he was given a surprise by the sudden alp- pearance of a large dark-colored snake. The reptile glided into the stall. where it coiled around the front; leg of the horse. The horse, suddenly startled by the snake’s action, began pawing in the stall. and succeeded in killing the reptile which was discovered to be a milk snake. It had evidently spent the winter in some sheltered hole _in It is now stated that a definite choice has been made and that of- ficial announcement will be made shortly. The site for the liquor store is stated to be the store now occu- pied by Cunningham’s restaurant. Speaking to Mr. Roy Cunningham, the Spectator was informed that there was more than mere idle rumor in the report and while he had not, received any deflnite‘ word, he would not be surprised to re- ceive such information at any fime. Those “with their ears to the ground” announce the date of op- ening as May 1 and that, applica- tions for positions have been sent to the persons who make the ap- pointments.â€"Palmerston Spectator. Spring Snake Story PAGE 6. There are a great many cases of mumps in town. The disease seems to haxe been sweepingl through towns in this part of On-E tario. It looked for a while as if Meaford would escape but last week many cases were reported. A great many children are away from school especially in the Pub- lic school and the first form of High school. There are few cases with anything serious wrong. In Orillia two of the High School teachers have taken mumps but there are so many children away from school that no relief teachers were required. About half the scholars are away from the Public School. Not all absentees have it but must stay home because other members of the family have it.â€" Meaford Express. able to pay all the costs of power, including $449.67 for sinking fund requirements and have a balance of $497.00, to apply on the past year’s deficits. With the rural load which has developed in the past two or three months coming on the line to share the costs which Tara has carried alone for the past nine years. we can look forward with certainty to an early wiping out of the deficits and a real re- duction in our present rates and the confidence that we have always had in hydro being the cheapest and best service obtainable will be fully justifiedâ€"Tara Leader. Mumps at Meaford On March 8th, John Sinclair, Jr., who is courier on route number four, had the misfortune to lose his horse. On his return from Des- boro along the 10th concession Sullivan. John drove into the deep snow to put Charlie O’Hara’s mail in the mail box. In turning, thei horse got in a hole and fell over, breaking one of its hind legs. The animal had to be shot. The courier and mail were brought back to town by John Pruder of the 14th of Brant who was returning from a sale. On Tuesday, March 20th, the farmers along the 10th of Sullivan where John delivers mail and parcels made him the present of enough money to buy another horse and the Sinclair family feel deeply grateful for the kindness of those farmers on the Peabody line. It certainly showed appreciation of the splendid service the Sinclairs have rendered on this route for the nine years they have been deliver- ing mail and carrying parcels. For 21 years John Sinclair, Sr., carried A Dead of Kindness the Chesley to Chatsworth mail and the boys have been just as ohliging couriers as their dad. John Sin- clair never missed a day this win- ter even though the going was hard enough after some of the big snowstorms. This incident shows that courteous service pays in the end.â€"Chesley Enterprise. ' At a meeting of the Hospital Board held Tuesday, the 13th inst. the President, Mr. G. L. Allen, Sprung a pleasant surprise on the board by reading a letter he had just received from a Mount Forest old boy in the person of Mr. Went- worth G. Marshall, of Cleveland, Ohio, stating that he had decided VIIIV’ §'vwv-.- to buy the Hospital and present it to the town and to send him plans for a‘ new kitchen and Sun room that are needed and he would con- sider that also. Mount Forest Gets Hospital Mr. Allen approached the donor in December last in behalf of the Hospital and had a ready and friendly reply, making further en- quiries as to the needs and present conditions. The good offices and advice of Dr. Lewis Yeomans, an- other old Mount Forest boy, were called in and freely. given. The final result was the magnificent of- fer made by Mr. Marshall in the letter referred to. The gift is greatly appreciated by the Presiâ€" dent and members of the Men’s and Women’s Boards and citizens gen- erally. as it assures the continuance permanently of this much needed institution. Mr. Marshall was a clerk in the late Mr. L. H. Yeoman’s store over forty years ago, and, after graduat- ing, went to Cleveland where he has been remarkably successful in the drug business, and is now pro- prietor of a chain of 43 drug stores in his adopted city, and is one of the leading citizens. The old friends of Went, as he was fam- iliarly called, are especially proud of his success and of the generosity of heart, that prompted such a splendid gift to the old town and which no doubt, will be suitably acknowledegd at a later period. A commitiee was appointed to se- cure details and plans for the new kitchen and sun room and as soon Water! Water! Water! RB. No. 4. Durham. these are ready they will be What Is Good Health Worth?
