R. line between Flesherton and Durham recently unearthed a com- plete whiskey making outfit buried in the swamp in the south east corner of Grey. The machinery had evidently been buried there for 20 years. It was buried beside a large pine stump and was in a fairly good state of preserva- tion. It had evidently been used to make whiskey for early settlers. THE Baptist Anniversary will be held in the church here on Sunday, Feb’y 10th. The Rev. J. B. Kennedy, M.

At the time of the nomination Mr. Saunders held the position of school trustee but resigned before taking his declaration of quali- cation.

Darling, the Divisional Engin- eer of the Canadian Pacific Railway Co" presented a profile of the new road showing where the road is to go through town for which they asked the sanction of the town council. The original route given in these columns some months ago has undergone little change. A slight deviation has been made, however, to escape the school grounds, and, this change causes the centre of the road to run through Dr. Hutton’shouse at the foot of Garafraxa street hill. The Council, and indeed the town generally, do not like the Idea of the level crossing at the foot of the hill, and there is likely to be some ‘ opposition to the plans submitted. The Council would like to see the crossing further up the hill where there could be a safe overhead drive- way going up or down the hill. The! Engineer objects to this however on the score of cost. He claims that a cutting through to the north of the Presbyterian Church would cost the Company in the neighborhood of two hundred thousand dollars, and at the same time interfere very greatly with the Church property. In fact he went so far as to say that a change of route would be made rather than incur so heavy an outlay to get through the town. He also intimated in the course of his remarks that the Company or- iginally intended to put the station on the‘present school ground, but they now decided to have it to the west on George Street. ‘ Another meeting of the Council is to be held on Friday night to further consider the matter.‘ The question of a Treasurer for the town was talked over at some length. Mr. A. H. Jackson has held the posi- tion for the past year or so. and all the members of the Council agree that he is a capable and efficient officer. Mayor Calder gave it as his opinion that one hundred and fifty dollars a year was too much salary for the work, and feeling that Mr.-Jackson was not going to consider a reduction he took the responsibility on himself to adver- tise for applications. From the gener- al nature of the discussion it was al- most evident that the Mayor Was alone in his opinion regarding the work and the salary paid Mr. Jackson. Two ap- plications were made for the position one from Mr. Dunn and one from Mr. Bean, but the matter was deferred and no action taken for the present.
