The The Warden of course was at the head of the table, the veteran Treasurer anud Clerk Mestrs 8. J. Parker aod John Rutherford respestively were near by, while seyeral exâ€"Wardens were on band. That the supper was good need not ba said, it was served at the Queen‘s Hotel by " Mine Host Legate," that "the King " was loyally honored is ceriain. Capt. t, MeNight responded to " The Army and Navy," and (as many others) had warm words for the Warden. *" The Co. of Grey " was responded to by exâ€"Wardens Pedwell, McDonald and Richardson; Mr Pedâ€" well epoke of the honored position Grey held among the Counties, Mr McDonald recalled the County Council of the year 1879 only four members of which were yet aliye, â€"He pointed out how many exâ€"members of council had secared positions of honor and trust in parlia« ment or elsewhere _ Mr Richardson‘s experiecce wonut back for 43 years and " He advised the members to make progressive sentiment on all matters tor the public good wherever it waa lacking in their rural constituencies." From the Sun we take the closing speeches : Mr John Rutherford and Mr S. J. Parker were coupled with the. toast " Our Clerk and Treasurer." Mr Rutherford has been clerk for twontyâ€" one years. He recalied the mesting of the #irst provisional county conneilâ€" fitty five years ago, which met at " Cole, man‘s Inn," (now Warrilow‘s Hotel) and many other events that should he in the history of the county in permanent form, Mr McDonaldl had mentioned the formation of an historical society for the county, and coupted Mr Rutherford‘s nampe as one well quahfied to prepare a history. _ MMr Rutherford was willing to do what he could, if Mr Richardson would assist with,. the work partionlarly with what related to the southern part of the county, ‘Fuis was favorably commented on by almosl every ’spfl,@_ker who followed, and hopes ware frsely expressed that the county eounoil would set abart & reasonable eum to assist in the work, Mr Parker epoke of the excellent fiâ€" nancial position of Grey. _ All the counâ€" ty rates will be paid in this year, as they were in 1908, before the end of the yoar, and this money was to meet next year‘s expenses. _ He thought no other county had such a record. _ Alâ€" most all are a year bebind, and at this time of the year are only repaying the loans made to them for the expenses of the year, _ Looking back thirtyâ€"six years, to the time when lhe was apâ€" pointcd. he said only one township (Derby) paid their rates before the close of the year. Inspectors Burgess, Huoff and Campâ€" bell were coupled with the toast to " Qur Educational Institutions." _ Mr Burgess placed those of Grey county as first in Ontgrio, to which Mr Campbeli added the proof that, aecording to statistics, Grey furnished more stndents to the universities and the institutions for higher education than any other county in Ontario, eyen including the eounty of York and city of Toronto as a county. Mr Huff emphasized stroogly the work done in the continuation classes in our schools in smaller towns where the students were gotung excellent training, and were at home with their parents Saturday and Sunday. Mr Campbell spoke on the need there was for inspectors, snd showed from bistory that uo system of education had been successful without supervision and regular reports to goverment, He also laid stress on the need that the morai side should be developed as fully as the intellectual. * Mr J. E. Keenan, president of the Board of Trade; Ald, Johr McQuaker and Mr James MceLauchlin ably reâ€" sponded to " Our Mercantile Interests " by quoting progress in prices of produce and in fpopulation of Owen tSound, Mr Mz:Lauchlan recaliing Eftyâ€"fiye years ago, when he walked from Hamilton to settle in Grey. * The Farming Interests " were ably upheld by Messrs Hastie and Eaton, who marked the agricultural progress made by the county, which stands third in the value of its products, _ A fitting tribute was paid to the pioncers who blazed the trails and cleared the farms that the younger men now enjoy. " Our Prosperous Towns " received ample support from Mayor Harrison of .Owen Sound and Mayor Smith of Thornbury ; and " The Press " was anâ€" swered for by Meesrs Irwin (Durham) and Fleming., Adjournment was reached after a hearty vote of thanks was tendered to the Warden, and Auld Lang Syne sung in real Scetchâ€"fashion about 1 a, m. The Toronto Daily Star continues to keop up its remarkable record of growth, setting a pace quite unpreceâ€" dented in the history of Canadian newspapers, During the last year it has added oyer 9,000 to its list of sub scribers, and now has a circulation ot more than 68,00C0. a figure more than 15,000 greater than that of any other Foronto paper, morning or evening, or both. Jt :s hard to realize that only ten yeare ago when the present man* THE DURHAM REVIEW Toronto Star‘s New Record. TORONTO Entertains 'agement. assumed control, ‘The Sta was at the foot of the list with only 6,000 circulation. While its competitâ€" ors have been standing still or growâ€" ing slowly it has forged abead, until | now it has a commanding lead. That |ns progress continues at an unabated Irate indicates that there is ncthing forced or inflated about its growth, but that it is a bealthy natural deyelâ€" opment, the result of a determination, to give its readers the best paper, ‘comhined with the ability and hard | work necessary to put the determinaâ€" ‘lion into effect. The Star could not show 15,000 subscribers more than any | competitor, if it was not the best paâ€" | per. §2° * There was an extremely interesting time at the butchering of a porker on a Bullivan homestead recently. The supply of pig meat had become exâ€" hausted and the *‘ propâ€"rioter *‘ knew that the only way to meet the stringâ€" ency was to become a follower of vegeterianism or slaughter his favorâ€" ite porker. _ Being a carnivorous biped the latter idea appealed to him the stronger, and readily adopting it, made preparations for the all imâ€" portant eyeat. _ He seized his trasty rifle and, in company with two other individuals, bent on destruction, made their way to the abode of the aforesaid specimen of the swine family. _ The hbog was in the outer apariment, basking in the sunny atâ€" mosphere of an ideal Autumn mornâ€" ing and totally unaware of the terâ€" rible fate awaiting him. The boss determined to act expedetiously beâ€" cause, being of a sympathetic temâ€" perament, he feared that it he allowâ€" ed any sentimentalilies to take possession of his mind, it would unnerve him for the presecution of the act he had in view. Therefore, withâ€" out a moment‘s hegitation, be raisgd his rifle, took deliberate aim ands‘n the twinkling of aneye the air was shattered by the deafening explosion that followed. _ In the twinkling ot the other eye the porker was jamping around the pen shaking his ears, or, to be explicit, one whole ear and what was left of the other for the shot merely struck one of these ap pendages, carrying part of it away. A second time the‘ rifle was disâ€" charged and on this occasion the marksman has the location a little better for the bullet penetrated the nose, completely demolishing the nasal organ. Didn‘t that hog squeal ? Well I guess he did, and, his cries were piteous in the extreme. And could you wonder at it? Nature created that hog for a scavenger and equipped him with that muscular snout in order to readily fiod his food and now he was minus it. Never more would he revel in the laxury of rooting ug gardens, meadows, &s., and the thought made him trantic with despair _ At this stage of the tragedy the men were almost as excited as the hog, and realizing the fuatility of trying to despatch the animal by a shot one of them proposed to enter the pen and exterminate the animal with an axe. " Excellent," said the other two, " why didn‘t we think of that beâ€" fore." _ He accordingly leaped into the pen and made a vicious blow at the hog‘s craninm. _ Bat that hog wasn‘t so foolish as to stand there qaietly and let a man despatch him so easily as that, _ He ducked with as mueh agility as James J Corbett would use in blocking an adversary in the pugilistic arena and consequentâ€" A Thrilling Tragedy ly the blow only struck the air causing hilarious laughter from those without and incensing the fellow within so that bhe became wildly vicious. _ He took a firm grip of the instrument of death and swung anâ€" other blow which, hbad it landed would soon have had the hog writhâ€" ing in the throes of death,. _ But it didn‘t landâ€"at least not on the pig, for the animal dacked again and so vicious had beeu the attempt, that the axe flew from the man‘s hand and landed on a loose board, tearing it off and making an aperture, out of which it went some twenty or more yard into the adjacent field, _ The hog now assumed the agressive and charged the wouldâ€"beâ€"slaughterer so vigorously that the latter thought discretion the better part of valor, and he absquatulated to a place of immunity. The porker now sammed up the situation and, coming to the conclusion that he was the most abused quadruped in the whole world, decided to make a dash for liberty. _ He gazed at the railing, which was low, and said to himself, ‘* I‘ll fool them." _ He concentrated all his strength in one rmaighty effort and successfully scaling the barricade ran off into the fields with the speed ot a runaway locomotive. _ The participaters in this advencure conâ€" cluded that the only means to captare the animal was to let Towger, their huge mastiff dog, after him. . Now Towzer was a dog, He was sayvage, shaggy and larger than any four decent dogs oug ht to be, Efe was immediately unchained and put on the trail of the fugitive, The hog, seeing him coming, urged himselt to his utmest speed, but the fleet speciâ€" men of the canine tribe soon overâ€" took him and sallied into him like a sixteen inch shell out of a howitzer. Then ensued one of the most eangainâ€" ary combats of modern times, with odds greatly against the hog. _ The mastiff charged repeatedly with all the yviciousness of his savage nature and to say that the air was littered, at each collision, with fiying pigâ€"meat and bristles woald {)e putting it mildly indeed. . The atmosphere reverberated all the while witE exâ€" cruciating and earâ€"piercing sounds and a din, as hideous as when a group of paleâ€"faces fall ihto an Indian ambuscade. . The poor animal was so terribly. lacerated and mangled that you‘d think he came through a moronghly exnanied. died of abure tuoroughly ex abuse and cu::o{en heart, The umtnla operations were soon completed any in a short time the hog was ready for consumption. _ Were exploits like the foregoing tha general experience in despatching bogs, pigâ€"meat would in despatching bogs, pigâ€"me be a rare delicacy indeed.
