One little girl asked a mem- ber of the committee for tickets for her little friends who had not been provided with them. She came and handed the tickets back shortly afterwards sayng that her little friends had secured tick- ets before she got back to them. Many a selfish and dishonest little girl would have used the tickets in the rush for the candy and nuts to secure an extra bag for herself and some other friend but this child had been taught to be strictly honest. We do not publish the name of the little girl because the member of the community tree com- mittee wasn’t thoughtful enough to ask her that question. â€"Chesley Enterprise.

Continued ill-health seems to have been the cause for Stewart McNeil]. aged 35, a well-known young man of Elderslie township taking his own life by hanging. The victim had been a juror at the recent County Court in Walkerton at which the case of Rex vn O’Malley was heard. He had returned to his home on the Elora Road Satur- day afternoon and appeared to be in a cheerful mood. After supper he made an excuse to the barn, telling his mother, who was the only one at home at the time, where he was going. Some time after she became alarmed and called to him but received no res- ponse. When the brother, Kenneth. returned home he made a searcn and found the body of Stewart suspended. from a beam in the nay mow. The district coroner, Dr. Rennie of Chesley, was notified, but decided an inquest un- necessary. - a a g A The mishap occurred at a point where the road traverses the tracks through a deep cut. Snow had accen- tuated the abruptness of the incline and it is thought that the farmer drove his sleigh on to the tracks while the plow was obscured from view behind the towering mounds of snow. The accident victim and his wife were returning from Elmira and had stopped at the store of I. S. Martin in W‘allenstein to exchange greetings. A few minutes after his cousin was dead.

He is said to have taken out his watch and noted the timeâ€"12.20 p.m.' Following the crash of the airplane George Roe, on whose farm the accid- ent happened, removed the wrist watch. from the mangled body of the Mount Forest pilot.

A press despatch from Mount Forest gives a remarkable coincidence in con- nection with the death of Lewis Ernst recently. Mr. John J. Ernst was on a business trip east of Toronto when pulling the hay fork into the gate, the nip rope broke hurling Mr. Henry backward and striking his neck on the girt. from where he fell ten feet to the ground. He was found lying unconscious half an hour later by his son. Following several weeks in bed. a steel harness was made for him by the local harness maker. This device kept his head erect until the broken mem- ber became healed. It was expected Mr. Henry could resume his work in a few months, but it was a year before he was finally allowed to return.

Some weeks ago Mr. Bell purchased from a Paisley drover a carload of cattle which had, we are told, been shipped from the western ranges. In a short while a choice cow in the herd showed peculiar symptoms, and being much in distress, a local vet., who was summoned, readily diagnosed the case. as being one termed “shipping fever”. 9. malady contracted enroute. Although the best remedy possible was prescribed for the bovine, yet it yielded to its ail- ments after a short space of time and. gave up the ghost.

Orangeville Has New Street Lights Broadway’s new electric lights, which were turned on last week, are a great success. In this splendid, wide, well- paved thoroughfare, night has been turned into day and no other town or city in Canada has anything better and very few have as good. Upon a well proportioned iron standard about 12 feet high, is placed a large fancy globe in which is a 300 watt lamp. A soft. white light is diffused and shadows are completely eliminated. When the lights are turned on the street is as bright as day and our citizens may feel proud of the work accomplished by the local commission.

The Judge expressed the opinion that the injuries sustained by the plaintiff ’3 car were caused by the act of the de- fendants in constructing a culvert which, in effect formed a barrier to any vehicle which got of! tho travelled portion of the highway and that such culvert constituted a nuisance on the highway .â€"Paisley Advocate. It requires 1,000 names of municipal voters in their own right and title on voters’ lists as owners, tenants or in- come voters to entitle a municipality to a deputy reeve. This gives a town- ship or town twice the voting power of the smaller municipalities at county council. On Hanover lists this year there are the names of 999 municipal voters, which is one short of the re- quired number. 80 near and yet so far!
