Dale, jeweler and optician, one of the oldest and most 'highly respected residents of Mount For- est, was born in Maghefelt, near Belfast, in 1844. He served an ap- prenticeship of four years in Ireâ€" land, set sail for Canada on his 18th birthday. He worked in Tor- onto and London for a short time, coming to Mount Forest, where he started in business in 1863. â€"â€"â€" ”Viv-DOV Mr. Dale believes in the old say- ing, “Do anythin better than Your neighbor; thoug you live in a forest. the world will make a beaten path to your door.” One of his first customers was a lawyer, who brought a very lifl‘icult watch to be repaired, and although the work was hard and difficult, Mr. Dale made a success of it and the customer was so pleased that he gave him a good recommendation to everyone, which shows clearly that success is doing something well.‘ In a year he. was able to rent a larger store and later moved into the McMillan block, 32 years ago. He. built. his present store. and residence. In October. l86’1.he. married Miss Canl1amwof (ruelph. who pasSed awa3 in 1919. 'lhev had iixe children. two of whom «tied when young.

The truck receixed a damaged radiator bent axle and other damage, while the passenger car had the radiator, bumper, fenders and one wheel completely demolished. um: Truck and Passenger Car Hot on Bridge Near Darkies’ Corners Yesterday and Both Wore Badly Damagedâ€"Woman Thown Ont Through Windshield. .___ -â€"‘-v“- .x.---vu-v -- With Mr McGonket'. were Mrs. McConkev and their three children and it is miraculous that the oc- cupants did not receive more in- jury.

DREW LARGE CROWD The date set for the garden party of the Woman’s Guild of Trinity church here was last Thurs- day night, but the event had to be postponed owing to the big storm which broke about 3 o’clock and lasted well into the night. All day long the ladies and their escorts had toiled on the spacious grounds of Mrs. E. K. Jackson, and in the afternoon the men had gone to Mount Forest for the dancing plat- for‘m that was to furnish the prin- cipal amusement for the younger people and those who cared to dance.‘ The platform was taken to the grounds but the weather was so threatening that it was not deemed wise to erect it and it was Stored in P.

Mrs. W. J.

The injury to Mrs. Mcl’arlane ls quite close to the hand and is of a more serious nature than had her forearm received a fracture farther up. We are glad to know {inat she is prograssing satisfactor- 1 v. The big thing of the night for the younger people was the danc- ing platform erected especially for the occasion and. to music furnish- ed by the Blu-Bell orchestra, the gaiety Was continued until about 2 o’clock. While the attendance was not so large as it would haxe been had Thursda} night been fair and the. garden part} held in the ()an air consideiing the cicumstances the ladies of the church are to be con- gratulated on their success and feel well repaid for their efforts. The numerous booths and re- freshment tables did a good busi- ness during the owning. disposing of a recoxd amount, of drinks and eatables. In the old-time Fiddler’s Contest there were in all four entries, Messrs.‘ Pat Malone of Dornoch, Stanley Sharpe and Wesley Noble of Bentinck. and Master Clarence Adlam of town. The first three were declared the winners in the order named. while the judges, Messrs. J. N. Murdock and L. Mc- Lean warmly commended Master Adlam for his proficiency.

TEMPERATURES 0F PAST WEEK With the abnormal amount of rain this year it was felt that It surety could not rain two days in suc- cession and that night it was de- cided to goahead with the garden party on Friday night. It was lucky that the advertising stated that if the weather was unfit the affair would be held in the rink, for it. rained quite heavily about 6 o’clock.
