When auto d@rivers learn that when they are caught on the highway with even a smell of liquor, they run a good risk of getting put in jail, then very few persons will be willing to take a drink and drive a car afterwards. Drunken auto drivers must be banâ€" ished from the roads. This is the Ur Chas. White, wife and two children, moved last week from near Proton Station into part of the house on the Wm.

We have enjoyed during the past month, the most beautiful sunshine and March bids fair to be recorded by the weather man as the best ever. The sun is quickly taking the snow away and every day lessens the dangâ€" er of a flood by a too rapid thaw. The country is every day looking more like my old pants, as the snow goes away, and brown patches of the old earth appear frayed and raggedâ€" lookingyet, but with warm days and a gentle rain, a new earth will come forth. Mrs. A. Sauiter, who has been stayâ€" ing with her sister, Mrs. Mortimer of Shelburne, has been at her home the last couple of weeks.

Deepest sympathy is extended to the husband from this vicinity. THE DRUNKEN AUTO DRIVER IN VARYING ACCENTS SWINTON PARK THE DURHAM REVIEW PRICEVILLE â€"#A&cd PRICEVILLE THE PLEDGE Some of those pioneers were quite witty and could play a practical joke. A common occurrence was to go "down below" to the harvest, "to ask their neighbors of the south to give them leave to toil." Those Haltâ€" on and Peel County farmers wanted full value for the wages paid and kept them hustling. One man pretended to have no English and was very pious. He wouldn‘t begin his meals without asking a blessing in the form of a good long Gaelic prayer, while the othérs sat by. He would proceed to repeat a certain Gaelic somng "Mollich bin Dorin" which was like the 119th Psalm of many verses.© The farmer tried to object as he was wasting so much time, by showing him his watch. Hector took the watch and pretended to get scared of the tickâ€" ing and dropped it on the ground. Imagine the result. Two other chaps wished to put up some beaver hay for fodder and proâ€" ceeded to a beaver meadow, near forty sideroad,. They cut a quantity and when seasoned took the oxen and jumper to draw it home. No wagâ€" gons then. They must have a smoke. Thowing their light down they went to another part of the meadow and on looking around they saw the hay all in flames. Needless to say there was no hay taken home. Hogs | . . .:.3% . 2. AÂ¥a :158 2kA BB Butter".;...f.¢.:.fri‘?.. k. i /sle.

On one occasion a farmer had to kill a sheep for the thrashing. The sheep was securely tied, ready for exâ€" ecution. Mac took the knife and turning his head away, not to see the sheep said, "Och, Och, poor thing, I don‘t like to do it." They also were practical farmers. The story is told of a farmer when driving his oxen, would say "Gee, gee, No! No, pardon me, it is Haw I meant." While in the pig killing line anothâ€" er one. A man had one pig to kill and asked a neighbor to help. . The victim was brought forth and ready for action. The slaying instrument was a chisel and a mallet. He said. pointing to the side of the pig"That is the region of the heart." "Yes." Bang goes the mallet and the chisel, but didn‘t strike a vital spot for the pig was far away. (In YÂ¥e Olden Time) (An old and valued subscriber gives us a glimpse of "The Good Old Times"! in a corner of Glenelg Township suggested by the occasional reminiscent touches of our Priceville and Glenelg correspondent.â€"Ed.) To the Editor of the Review,â€" As your venerable correspondent for ‘Priceville and Vicinity‘ has been giving reminiscenses of early days in Glenelg, and has been confining himâ€" self to the eastern part of the townâ€" ship, I thought I would give a few anecdotes of the western end of the Durham Road. This section was principally settled by Highland Scotch from Argyleshire and were naturally of a jovial disposition which helped them largely during their pioneering days. On one occasion the Proprietor had some pigs to kill and asked three of his neighbors from the west of him to assist. The event must first be openâ€" ed by a smile out of the bottle. The pigs were then let out to walk around in the snow to clean them off to be easier handled. Then another course at the bottle and still some more about noon. The wife of one of the trio saw the pigs wandering around the corner. Thinking something was wrong, she wended her way to the scene of the butchering and found the worthies seated around the table singing Gaelic songs. Those were the days before Prohibiâ€" tion, when there was a grog shop at almost every mile. _ At No .10 sideâ€" road there were two,â€"the Rob Roy and Pringle‘s, across the road, on lot 13, S.D.R., the farm lately owned by Mr McComb. R. McPherson located on it and also sold wet goods. sOUTHâ€" WEST GLENELG fi’QQdOll\ fmm%ll\ RHEUMATISM SC!ATICA NEUVRITIS LUMBAGO T.R £3 PaHETTERS (o ieE teks (c FOR SALE BY S.
