E .Carr spent a couple of days, in Toronto last week. Mr .and Mrs Bert Meddnugh of Duh- dalk. visited at H. B. McLean's on Thursday last. Mrs B. McLean and daughter, Mrs. Falklngham ot Durham. called on friends here one day last week. Mr Victor Smart ist Sault Ste Marie visited his aunt, Mrs D. Graham ree ently. er. and Mrs F'. G. Kat-stem spent a few days with friends in Toronto last week. Mr and Mrs Thos. Nichol, Mr and Mrs Jack Nichol visited friends in Collingwood and Stayner recently. Mr Dan Mclnnis and sister Mrs. Leslie of Toronto, and formerly of Bunessan. attended Presbyterian Ch. here on Sunday. They came up on Saturday with the body of their sister Mary ,who died in Toronto and was buried in Smellie's cemetery. Word was received here on Satur- day of the death ot a former resident ot the village in the. person ot Mrs. Catharine Scott of Arthur. Mrs Scott lived here for quite a number of years and was well known. Her husband, the late Patrick Scott died a number or years ago . The body came by C. P. R. to Flesherton Station Monday and was interred in St John’s ceme- tery, Glenelg. Since our tax collector Mr A. D. Mc- Leod has handed out the tax bills, there has been some warm arguments re the high cost of our Hydro-lighting system. While there is no denying the fact that the system is somewhat expensive, yet there are too many homes in the village that are not us- ing it, but at the same time are en- joyin ttthe privileges of the street lighting. Rev. Mr Craw of Toronto, a brother of the minister who has received a cal Ito the Pricevue and Swinton Park congregations. preached here on Sun- day. Mr Crow is a very Ment speak- tu'. Mr Craw's father and three brothers are ministers, a record hard to beat. PRICENILLE & GLENELG This is Friday night, 23rd Novem- ber. Our lady M. P. is eeturing to- night in No. , schoolhouse. and we are enjoying our lonesome time by gathering some thoughts for the Re- view as all the rest are down to hear a good lecture from our worthy lady M. P. We go back to the days ot our youth and It a lady was ttSt in the toon of Prlcevllle, snow, slu nor rain would not keep us from being one of the number present. But then it was a rare thing to hear of a lady lecturing : now changes have taken place and probably if more of the op- posite sex were elected to honorable positions, they would be apt to put our smart masculine omeerg to shame by their method of conducting busi. tlets'H, Many of those who are behind in their tall ploughing would wish to have another week’s tine weather, but it is a hard matter to kill two birds with one stone. for some ot those be- hind worked on the Good Roads till it was near quitting time to plough. but WP hope they will be favored with line weather while November lasts. We cannot depend much on cold De- cember, for it tells all to be preparing for January and February by getting their winter's supply of wood into their wood house . The late Rev. Mr Frazer who was pastor of the old kirk. Priceville. for ten years, told a story of the high- Ianders' of Glengarry's honesty. In the summer time they would ask the merchant to give them goods; the merchant would ask them "When will you pay?" the answer was "I'll pay you on the snow", meaning winter. As soon as the first snow came. they brought their stuff to market and came with their pay. Throwing a handful of bills on the counter, they would say "Now 'boss, pay yourself". As the merchants were a generally honest class of business men, they would return the surplus to the payer "Thank you, thank you" would be the reply and they would go home on' their old fashioned conveyance re- Joicing. At this season or the year some for- ty or ttt'ty years ago some. who Wen- fond ot stronger drink than water would be cleaning the old bottles to ful them up as near as possible to Christmas. Then a jolly good time would be spent during the following weeks by partaking freely of the so- called good stuff. to make the persons indulging believe they had the stren- gth of a giant while the etteet,s lasted Perhaps we told it before but it suits this time. The late My. Chas. Cameron. once minister ot the Free Church. Prieeville, told a story of a poor highlander who was fond of the drink. Donald was supposed to be on his death bed, the parish minister came to see him, saying “you are pretty sick, Donald". "Yes," said Don. ald. "But in the home above" said the minister to console poor Donald, "there is everything prepared for the reception of those worthy to partake." Donald trot up on his elbow in bed, saying "Will they have the bottle there"? "No, no," said the good man "no need ot it there". "Tut. tut,"ssid Donald. "I always thought it s and thing to see 3 bottle " each end of Thll in the time of you the old " ter-ans would ttttderttrttertt ten Acro- u tAst table." Poor Donald thought he would have the same provided there u when visiting the hotels. PRIOEVILLE Glut”: generally in ten days. chop it during the next three months, thresh all his grain with the ttati, and make his tlrewood tor the old-fashioned chim- ner. Also so to Kelly's mill, Dtttu ham, with a grist probably once a month, according to the number of members in the family. A good chop- per would chop an acre in one week if he had nothing else to do. The concert and lecture by Miss MaePhail M. P., in the schoolhouse. B. S. No. 3. was well attended, consi- dering the ineierneney of the night. Lunch was served by the ladies. Speeches and singing was the general order besides the address by Miss MaePhail. The weather has taken a change again and the snow is disappearing fast. Since writing the former part ot this budget we learn ot the death of a respected lady in the person of Miss Mary Ann Mclnnes ot Toronto, but formerly of Bunessan. Miss Mclnnes passed the highest age alloted to man but was in fairly good health until about a week ago when she took a stroke. She was buried at the family plot on Saturday Nov. 24th. at Smel- lle’s cemetery, Durham Road, Glenelg She leaves one brother, the well known Dan Mclnnes and one sister, Mrs Leslie (isabella‘ of Toronto. We extend condolenec to the brother and sister in their sad bereavement. Pleased to hear that Mr Donald Me- Farlane of Rob Roy, is recovering af- ter his recent stroke. Mr Arch. McCuaig, Reeve of Glen- elg, attended CountyCouncil last week Congratulations to Pricevllle and SwintonPark Presbyterians on choos- ing a pastor. We hope Rev. Mr Craw will accept the call. It is a pleasure to hear that all the ailing ones in Priceville and vicinity are getting better. This Monday, Nov. Mth, the snow is all gone again. Sleighlng didn't last long, but still we have slaying, as we bear the report of hunters' guns. Mr Geo. W. Parslow was in Strat- ford last Friday to see his sister Mrs Wm. Blakeston whom we regret to learn has undergone a very serious operation. Miss Edna Webster has gone to Bur- falo for the winter 'months. Mr Geo. Goheen has been visiting his daughter. Mrs Chas Wale. Mr Mae McTaggart returned homo from the West a short time ago. Mrs J. Ball, London .is visiting her daughter, Mrs Wm Dingwall. Mr and Mrs Geo. Hidden and Miss Thelma. were visiting relatives in Luther last week end. Mrs Edmund Pallister has been spending the past week at the home ot Mr Wm. Dingwall. Mr and Mrs A. R .Henderson spent last Wednesday evening at Mr Nell McEachnie's. Born-on Nov. 20th, to Mr and Mrs Wm. Dingwall, a son. Mr Andrew McDonald and sisters. Misses Effie and Gertha spent the be. ginning of the week with their sister, Mrs Sam Mills. Mr Wm .Burnot and ftmily are moving from their farm, con 9 .to their lately acquired business in Dur- ham. His father, Mr A. H. Burnet, who has been a resident of our vil- lage tor over 40 years, intends going to make his home with them. He will be greatly missed from the cor. ner.

Mr Albert McCHnton, while in Sank last harvest, took up a homestead. Recently he purchased the right of Mr Pinkerton, Egremont, a South Af- rican veteran, to a government half- section, and goes West soon to locate it near his own if possible. " YEARS AGO (From Review {er of Nov. M, 1908) Mr A. D. Learoyd, merchandise broker, left for Welland Monday, after his second successfully conducted sale tor the McKechnie ttrrn here, which lasted 21 days. [!.i.l?h),22ili2.i5 At the last meeting of Egremont Council, a petition signed by 225 rate- payers was presented, asking that the Local Option by-law be repealed. Reeve Hustle in reading the petition to council. said it wasn’t necessary that the Council present a by-law to the people for their endorsatlon, that the Council had a right to ignore the matter altogether. but he thought that it a petition signed by 25 percent of the ratepayers was presented, the Council would not ignore the petition It was left over till December meeting to give the petitioners time to pre- pare their by-law and then present it. Both sides are preparing for a stren- uous campaign. The devotees of that grand old win- ter game. curling. met in Tell’ord's of- tice Thursday to organize for the com- ing season.
