First of Methodist Concerts. The first concert of the series of three given by the White Entertainâ€" ment Bureau of Boston, Mass., under the auspices of the Ladies‘ Aid of the Methodist Church, wiil be held in the Town Hall, on Thursday, October 30. This concert will be given by Mr and Mrs. Blanchard. Mr Blanchard was drawn into this work by his love of male quartette singing. As a college man he was a member of all the mnâ€" sical societies and of the Glee Club. His first voice study was with Arthnr Frank of Boston. His character delinâ€" eations, his power to imitate, came to him naturaily, but were developed unâ€" der the best of teachers. Blanchard is a whistler as well as an imitator of brass instruments. A very novel numâ€" ber on their program is the presenta tion of Bishop‘s "Lo, hear the gentle lark" in which whistling takes the place of the flute. Mrs Blanchard has a wonderful personality, an exceptionâ€" al soprano voice, and is a most excelâ€" lent reader and pianist. She is a gra duate of Dana College, Nebraska. Other concerts in the series will be given by the Kenmore Girls on the 25th of November, and by Thompson Blood on 1l1th December. the time of accident was on a high ladder in there granary, when it sudâ€" denly slipped away from its moorings at the bottom and too quickly to al low saving himself in any way.

Not the Council We want to correct an impression that some have taken from our item last week that "Egremont had given $100 to the Plebiscite Fund." _ So it did, but not the Council.

We commend them for it and again exâ€" press the hope that other municipaliâ€" ties would follow their example. will be appreciated word with the Presi b Amos Churgh Dromore, w‘fi\ Monday, Oct. 2 Sutherland. â€"Pr ember â€" 9th : Burnett will « cert® and fow Spe( lay will Mond th Death of Markdale Citizen.

The first County Public Speaking Contest is now history but it will evâ€" er remain green in the memory of young and old with a deep sense of gratitude to Miss MacPhail, whose generosity made the contest possible. Miss MacPhail expressed her high appreciation of Mr Cooper‘s services in conducting the whole campaign. But beyond all the work and labor entailed to bring such a succesaful conclusion this speaking contest, the sacrifice made by so many parents and friends must be mentioned. The officials of the local branch of the Dept. of Agricuiture when spoken to, felt they owed a deep debt of gratiâ€" tude to those who came such long distances.â€" Their time they willingly gave, even though work was behind in this backward season. The final meeting at Flesherton on Saturday is a tribute to the popularâ€" ity of the public speaking contests in Grey Co. School Fairs and an excepâ€" tional response to Miss MacPhail‘s idea of a County Contest. Moreover the 400 visitors will return to their homes determined to boost the school fair more than ever before and it is hoped incidentally â€" will give greater encouragement to the work of the Dept. of Agriculture. Dt o o es This is the second honor won by the Markdale school this season. In the Entrance Examinations Miss Jean Stewart won the Dr Jamieson medal over 346 who tried in the 8. Grey Inâ€" spectorate. W. J. Messenger and his efficient staff are to be congratulated upon their successes. Througout the speaking Miss Agnes MacPhail occupied the chair.. Mr A. G. Skinner, Ass‘t Ag. Representative, kept time, while Rev. H. H. Eaton, Flesherton, ied the community singâ€" ing which served to keep the audieonce entertained between contestants‘ adâ€" dresses., After all addresses had been heard, the judges were called from their places at the sides and centre of the audience, They selected a ticket drawn from a hat which decided the chairmanship. This was selected by Rev. Mr Gallagher, Meaford. After considerable time spent in discussing the â€" various addresses, they unanimously decided the winner to be Maxine Lyons, Markdale Public School. She will take the trip to Otâ€" tawa to see the opening of the Fedâ€"| eral Parliament. The winner of the second prizeâ€"a â€" silver medal, was Madge Abercrombie, St Vincent, and the third prize or bronze medal winâ€" ner is Doris Taylor of "Osprey.

This paper fills an important part of the program and is an admirable factor in developing facility in writing. Mr. "Bill" Wilson, President ofâ€" the Literary Society, occupied the chair, and tke Glee Club were called upon for selections, which they rendersd with considerable spirit. _ Miss Kathâ€" leen Lavelle was at the plano. _ Misâ€" ses Florence McDonald and Margaret McAuliffe contributed readings, Mr J. D. McAuliffe a violin number and Mr. John Dunsmoor, a Harry Lauder seâ€" lection. If any criticism might be given, of the readings and speaking more particularlyâ€"it is that the readâ€" ers and speakers should remember they have an audience that want to hear and that clearer, slower and louder speaking is desirable. _ The selections chosen were good and it is a pity when much of the matter is lost for want of these arts. On Friday last from 3 to 4 p.m., a delightful hour was spent in Durham High School, when the students took possession and presented an attractâ€" ive literary program. The program proved to be sufficiently varied to avoid becoming monotonous and at its close, members of the local I.O. D. E.

As far as could be learned, no one had seen it stolen, and no trace of it could be obtained. _ After an anxious night when planning to set the machinery of the law in motion, she was relieved early next morning to learn it was found in rear of Fisher‘s Garage, the engine still being warm. _ Evidently the culprit had been away most of the night on a joy ride to some other burg and returned before daybreak. No damage had been done to the car, but if this, or any similar offender can be discovered, a stif example should be made.
