Hit and Run Driver at Hanover Stealing From Tara Graves Some unscrupulous person or per:- sons have been stealing the roots or flowers from graves in Tara. One grave in particular was visited and the roots of peonies were dug up and car- ried away. The officials are looking into the matter and will endeavor to locate the guilty party.

Diphtheria in Markdale Ten and Costs On Friday morning a very beautiful style of drinking fountain was install- ed at the corner of Lambton and Queen Street for the use of the public. It is of white enamel and the flow of the water is controlled by a small lev- er at the top, thus preventing it from running continually. The fount bears a copper plate, the reading of which tells the whole story. It states “Don- ated by the Women’s Institute.” It is another example of the fine things this worthy organization does in the Install Drinking Fountain Stockmen were recently through this district buying high class cattle for the model farm being established by Beatty Bros., the well known manu- facturers of stable equipment at Fer- gus.

The best of stock is be- ing purchased.â€"Meaford Mirror.

Laird lives at . Toronto and the place is leased by John Reidt, a farmer who lives across the road. The Howick Insurance Company re- fused to pay the insurance, and asked the Fire Marshall to make a thorough investigation of the origin of the fire. A number of oat sheaves had been placed in the cellarway of the house and set on fire, but it was slow in burning up, owing to lack of draught, and those who came to witness the burning of the barn, extinguished the incipient blaze. Mr. Reidt lost about twenty-five loads of hay and some farm implements.â€"Mildmay Gazette. First Stick Cut in Fergus Miss Camilla W. A. F. Webster, Pen- zance, Cornwall, England, has written to the Municipal Council, Fergus, of - fering the village the first stick cut on the village site by her grandfather, James Webster. "I would like Fergus to have it,” wrote Miss Webster in the communication, “as I stayed quite of- ten there when little, and my father was born in Fergus.” The Council, it is understood, will accept the offer. James Webster was one of the two founders of Fergus, the other being Hon. Adam Ferguson, after whom the settlement was named. No man had more to do with the success of the young village in its tender years, nor took a greater part in the work.â€"-Elora Express.

It seems to have been the work of hoodlums. A big piece of hardwood was thrown through the window in both cases, and, as if to aggravate the police, a third stick was thrown through the wmdow of the police office. A. German immigrant who “batches” above the butcher shop heard the crash, but he thought it was a car accident on the street as he heard voices. Had he thought of win- dows being broken, he feels sure he could have rushed down and got a glimpse of the perpetrators or the number of the car in which they drove away. Both windows were not insur- ed, the insurance carried by Mr. Ruhl having just recently lapsed, and both he and Mr. "Albert Knechtel, who owns the Dominion store building, will lose a tidy sum. The police are investigat- ing possible cluesâ€"Hanover Post. Inspector Craig Injured Blake Fleming, son of Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Fleming, 10th Concession of Maryborough. is in Palmerston Hospi- tal, suffering from serious injuries sus- tained when he fell 25 feet from a hayrack to the floor of his brother's barn on Thursday afternoon. Septem- ber 20. Young Fleming and his bro- ther, Roy. were using a rope and pul- ley to put away a hay rack after the season’s work. By some means, the pulley broke, and the young men and the heavy rack were thrown to the floor. Roy, the younger brother, was uninjured. but Blake was rendered un- conscious by the fall. His wrist was broken in two places, a rib was frac- tured, and he suffered severely from shock. He was rushed to the hospital. where it was found that he had sus- tained a severe concussion in the fall. On Friday afternoon he regained con- sciousness for a few moments. and was able to recognize his wife and brother. He has continued to improve slightly since thenâ€"Palmerston Spectator. ’ Vandals Smash Store Windows A bad mix-up of cars and cows oc- curred near C. U. Heath’s farm on the 7th concession, Rawdon, about 5 p. m., on Tuesday. Coming over a knoll on the Marmora-Stirling road William R. Fox, of Frankford, driving a Pontiac coach, crashed into a herd of cattle which were being driven along the road by Donald Heath, Mr. Heath’s grandson. The lad was riding a horse which reared up when the crash oc- curred, and he was thrown heavily to the ground, luckily escaping with min- or bruises. Three of the animals were injured so badly that they had to be destroyed, two having broken legs. Another car that was following Mr. Fox smashed into his car and bent everything that was bendable, causing a bad mix-up generally. It seems that every six cows must have a driver ac- companying them when on a provin- cial highway. and no bull is to be on the road unless led by someone. These laws were not obeyed, and it looks as though the owner of the cows will be the loser.â€"Stirling News-Argus. Fell 25 Feet to Barn Floor I Last week Mr. Edgar Bowles of Ar- ltemesia Township was attacked by a German police dog and was severely bitten on the arm and hand, three stitches being required to close the wounds. The dog was owned by Mr. Wm. _Swanton of the East Backline, Mr. ’Bowles’ employer, and was chasing the horses which Mr. Bowles was bringing to the barn. When called off, the dog immediately made a spring for its victim’s throat and fastened its teeth into the arm that was used to guard the face. Both dog and man struggled for some moments when Edgar suc- ceeded in inserting his hand into the crazed dog’s mouth, securing its tongue and forcing it to release its hold, and suffered several cuts on the fingers while doing so. The dog was finally subdued with Mr. Swanton’s assistance, and chained to the fence, where it was immediately shot. The head was sent to the Provincial Department of Health in Toronto, but there were no signs of rabies to ° be found. Mr. Bowles suffered considerable from his wounds. It was a narrow escape from serious injury and probably death..â€" Flesherton Advance. Motorist Hits Cows Seedling Peach Won Prize Back of the first prize canned peach- es at the Meaford Fair there is a story. The peaches were exhibited by Mrs. Howard Carnahan. They are a pro- duct of a tree that like Topsy “just growed.” The tree from which they were taken grew from a peach stone thrown out of the winodw. It was from a choice peach and reproduced its kind. The stone did not fall among tares but into choice ground in an ideal location for peaches in this nor- them section. It fell into ground pro- tected on the north and west and the little tree grew and prospered this year producing peaches which plus the domestic art of Mrs. Carnahan won first prize at the snow.â€"Meaford Mirror.
