One night only, Saturday, April 10. Admission 10c. and '20:. The death of Dr. Gilray, who: has been pastor of College street: Presbyterian church. Toronto. for about ~10 rears. removes from the? scene of activities a gentlemanf whom we have known from ear-' liest memory. The deceased, With‘ his parents, and other members. of‘ whom there were 16 children. was fa resident of Euphrasia, on the old home, near Epping, in his boy-f hood davs and, like the rest of us,? was not above manual labor. In’ his ministerial career he Was al-‘ Ways esteemed, respected and be-‘ loved by his congregation, which? grew from a small beginning toj one of the first churches in the-f ‘city. He was a ‘good, convincing? preacher, and always impressed? his congregation favorably. He? was the only minister the church? ever had. Many of our town? readers have heard Dr. Gilrayga‘ndl Qwere, we are sure, delighted with! his discourse. He could scarcely be‘ .’classed as an orator, but a plain,‘ Lio‘rceiul speaker and good sex-~-z Just as we go to ‘press, we learn of the death at Winnipeg on the 4118 of April of Mr'.. Timothy Moran, a fozmer well- known and highly respected resident of this jtown and vicinity.

We extend our heartiest felicita- tious to \Mr. Elmer Lambert,- son of editor Lambert of the Mount Forest Representative, who was married on Good Friday in Tor- onto, to Flora Edna, youngest daughter of Mr. A. S. Barkey, of Markham. The ceremony was per- formed in (Mint Baptist 'church. and the nuptial knot was tied by Rev. J ohn McIntosh. The fair held here last week for the examination and purchase of military horses, was considered quite a success. The military men Durchased and took away seven fine cavalry horses and a number of others were bought privately. In View of the large (sales made at the regular monthly fairs, thirty- five changing hands last month, a person would the led to wonder where all the horses came from. There .will be another regular fair this month. A quorum of the Council met on? Tuesday night, when the reading of the minutesand passing \of a few accounts were followed bv' considerable haggling over thef agreement of a committee with; Mr. McIntyre on the taking over of the present electric light plant.‘ The settlement made with .Mr.’ McIntyre was .for $3,800, or $800 over the price fixed by the ap-i praiser of the prOperty. M'r. Mc- Intyre dropped from the $5,000: he asked formerly, and to us it? is highly evident a mistake will; be made if the agreement is not; ratified by the council. \Vhat wei hope to see, and what the council and town should strive for is an a amicable settle ment. I If you have dogs, prepare to hide them now. The assessor has been on the war path for some time, and if he sees a friendly dog around the place, you may hear about it later. To deny own-i of I responsibility for paying the or» ership will not relieve you dinary dog tax, which falls alike to the lot of anyone who either owns or harbors a dog on his premises. To send your dog to visit friends in the country for a few days till the assessor is through will do the owner no good. This is what some of our citizens are said to have done, but surely none are small enough to engage in such tactics. ‘ who can afford to keep dogs should be willing to pay the tax or give them to someone who is willing.

Players gave their third annual entertainment in the tOwn hall on Monday night. It was an original comedy drama- tized by Mr. E. D. -McClocklin,' and entitled “Married to Order.” The local popularity of Mr. Mc- Clocklin, whose ability to manage such plays is rnow so well known that a full house may always be counted on. Monday’s entertain- ment was no exception to the rule, and the plan was not long expOSed before every reserved seat was disposed of, and when the curtain rose every seat was occupied and a number had to be satisfied with standing room. The play wase. very much iove': affair. Hollister’s rich uncle died,‘i and in his will a bequest was? made of over a million dollars on condition that he should be mar- ried before his 28th birthday, which’happened to 'come just the day after the will was found. In the event of him being then un- married, the residue was to be given to his cousin, Uriah Higgil- ton.

Just then the butler rushed in with a paper in which it was announced the condition on which Hollister would acquire the huge fortune. and the three 'girls made a hasty exit. Hollister then turned his atâ€" tention to the tassiStant, who ap- parently refused his suit. though Waiting for his «proposal. ‘ 'I Twelve "o’clock arrived: and Uriah was congratulated by laW- yer Wilton, as the lucky )Vinner of the huge fortune.
