Miss Beatricr: Conkey and Miss Jessie Gilles. He narrated the history of Pricevillu from its earlieSt date. told of the time Mr. and Mrs. Atkinson came (some thirty five years ago) and of their strict principles and attention to duty and of the great Struggle and hardships she endured to educate her two sons, of her sacrifices ind inally her success. She is highly reSpected in the community was always kind and good. Indeed there are few women of whom it can be truly said, “The elements so mixed in her that nature might stand up and say to all the world “This is a woman.” Much of the left-over food you now throw out can be turned into deli- cious dishes by the addition of a little Bovril. It gives warmed- over meats the juiciness of the original cooking. It gives body and strength to soups and graV 1es It gives a delicious, piquant flavor to cold meats and hashes. As a toast master. Mr. John Mc- Arthur stands second to none. He has long been recognized for his great gifts. HIS manner puts those around him at ease. He has un- bounded control and a knowledge of the world that nothing can surpass, a calmness of temper that nothing can disuurb and a kindness of diapo- sition that can never be exhaussed. We surely would find in hard to get along without“]ohn”’ in Priceville.and no matter where you might. go in this community his influence is always felt, He rejoices with us in our suc- cess. tries to relieve us in our distress and comfort: us in our sorrow. Every day you will find Bovril a-help and an economy in your kitchen. Bovril contains the essence, flavor and nutrient substance of the very best beef. It gives strength and nourishment to the invalid, and help- fulness and economy to the cook.

Conkey and Miss J. uillee. Dr Atkinson. son of Mrs. Butters, replied in a few well chosen words and returned thanks for their cour- tesy and gentlemanliness while guests in the house. and wished all prOSperity and happiness. The program was interspersed with many songs and amusing stories, in strumental mus'c and dancing.. M1 Piper Hector McDonald and his little daughter Jessie appeared to great advantage in full Highland costume. Piper McDonald is one of the finest specimens of the stout and stalwart Highlander that ever donned the hilt in this village, and to see him in full costume with the great military bagpipe over his broad shoulder would make any Scotchman proud. But Hector charmed the company with wonderful playing, boch on the bagpipes and violin. He is indeed a great musician and loves to play the old Highland tunes so dear to our peeple. He was received each time with great applause. Jessie McDonald is the best and most charming little Scotch dancer that has ever appeared in Priceville. She became at once a general favorite. Mr. Angus McLachlan entertained the company with his feats of danc- ing. Angus is a born contortionist. At step-dancing he plants his nimble feet so gracefully, lightly and quickly and has such a variety of Steps with good time that all admired the jolly red haired boy from the north line. His presence is always desirable, and wherever Angus can hang his hat is “home sweet home.” The program completed, the guests danced away the happy hours until daydght warned them ’twas time to go to work.

The merchant called at his bank a . iew days ago for the purpose of bor- rowing $1,500 on his own note. He had put through transactions of a similar nature with the same bank on previous occasions, at this time he was told it would be necessary to have an endorser on his paper. Two names were suggested by the bank manager as endorsers, either of which he would accept. To the banker’s surprise the man returned in the course of an hour with the note en- dorsed by both the gentlemen sug- gested. The bank manager then threw up his hands and acknowledg- . ed that he could not loan the money, no matter how many endorsers there were on the note, as his bank did not have the money. The customer then reported the matter to one of the endorsers, who had several thon- sands in the savings branch of the same bank, and who was somewhat provoked because his endorsation would not be accepted by the banker. With his friend he proceeded to the bank, making out a check for; 81600 . rev it on his savings account, pass-1 d it over to the merchant and took the note himself.
