ALE In the Hands of a Receiver | Only three years and the Great Oshawa Reformer Printing Compan_v.' which undertook to show the printâ€" ing trade of this county and district how to work for half recognized priâ€" ees and live, has passed into the hands of the Receiver, which is next to saying that it failed. The eminent gentleman introduced from the clty with their high toned connection of the great daily press, have doubtless learned a few things they did not knowâ€"among others that work canâ€" not be done at less than cost and the business . succeed. When this new company was floated in Oshawas, | one of the first things its execmlve. undertook was to capture everything in the printing tine throughout the country by writing the several munâ€" fcipal councils, suggesting that their municipal printing be turned over to them : the size of their plant and the wondrous business knowledge of it« executive enabling them to work at greatly reduced prices from those prevailing. It hadn‘t much effect by the way, the councils standing loyalâ€" Iy by their local offices in the belief that they were getting fair values in the prices being chargedâ€"as they are. â€" And now the end.â€"Beaverton Express.

There were three or four tablefuls who ,wire waited upon in the basement |b¢ the young ladies of the church, and all enjoyed the liberal spread | provided. While waiters were being satisfied, Revy Mr Peters read an inâ€" ‘teresting passage to the gathering (assembled upstairs for the proâ€" |\ gram) from "Letters of a selfâ€"made | merchant to his son." He first calâ€" | led upon the orchestra, comprising | Messrs Harry and George Hugill, on | cornet and snare drum, Cliff Buschâ€" ‘len on slide trombone, Hugh MceCrae |Frank Gardiner and Geo Yirrs on | violin and Miss Stella McCrae at 'organ. who rendered several delightâ€" | ful selections. Mrs Mark Wilson 'sang sweetly "Whenr Irish Eyes are 'Smillng." responding with ‘Kentucky Babe.‘ Mr Rees Padfield recited two \amusing skits, and Mrs Bert Farreli ’and Miss Emily Smith rendered a fine duett. Accompanied by their sister, Mrs E. McDonald, the three responded with "Come back to Erin" in pleasing harmony. The feature of the program was the able and elâ€" oquent address of Rev. W. H. Smith on "Keeping Step." He pointed out its value in discipline and effectiveâ€" ness in the army, and applied it to the churches and their workers. He | stressed the benefits of coâ€"operation lamonz Christ‘s people, and enlightâ€" :eningl_\' referred to the coming union after June 10th next, and its possiâ€" 'bimh-s. Canada had set the example to the world by the union of the Iseveml Presbyterian and Methodist divisions, who had kept step by unitâ€" ing into one church of each denomâ€" ination, and this nation was again setting the pace for the world in the experiment of union of these great denominations. |_ _A serious and disastrous fire oc icurred on Sunday night, March 8th, lln Bagot District, Manitoba, and in l\vhlch two former Edge Hill boys | are the unfortunate sufferers. M | Wm. G. Ritchie, son of Mr Geo. Ritâ€" chie, Edge Hill and Mr Earl Ritchie, iuon of Mrs Wm. Ritchie of town, had | the farm of Mrs Louisa FPaul in that | district, rented since last fall and | were making good when this disasâ€" | ter happened. .The outbuildiffes on \the farm were totally destroyed, toâ€" | gether with the stock, which consisâ€" ted of 13 head of horses, cattle, pigs and a quantity of feed, grain and two stacks of oat sheaves. St Patrick‘s Banquet The chairman, Rev. J. E. Peters, referred most appreciatively to his brother pastor‘s address, and hoped the visions of greater coâ€"operation and service in the Master‘s work would be fully realized. How the fire started is a mystery, it being noticed early in the morning and too late to save any of the conâ€" tents. It is a total loss to the boys as there was no insurance on conâ€" tents. They were going to town the next day to insure contents. This i¢g the second fire they have experâ€" ienced, when a little over a year ago, they lost the house they occuâ€" pied on another place, also by fire. This surely is what is called hard luck. | Owing to trunks going astray on the railroad, Mr Haines of the Pulâ€" lan Co. did not arrive at the Midâ€" idaugh House with display of the tnewesl spring coats, dresses, etc., for |ladies, but he will be here next Monâ€" |day afternoon, March 23rd, without fail.

It was then the Walkertonians discovered that next to keeping their powder dry in war, keeping the graniteware cool in peace was the first essential in cur ling. Wherever a Walkerton stone lay a holé would melt in the ice, and instead of gliding over the crystal, when thrown by local sinew and brawn, the disk would stall in a pathway of water of its own makâ€" ing. It was no go and the stoutest of the Bruce capitalists couldn‘t get a shot across to the other end. Inâ€" stead of avenging their defeat here, the Walkertonians got a walloping that would make Napoleon‘s retreat from Moscow look like a triumphal march of victory in comparison. Al though one Walkerton rink tied the An Irish lunch was then served, after which the audience which numâ€" bered slightly over one hundred, were British enough to loyally sing God Save the King even if they were in the Sinn Fein country most of the evening ! HOW THEY LOST THE GAME TO DURHAM ! ! The three rinks of Walkerton curâ€" lers that came to Durham recently to retrieve themselves for a defeat they sustained on their own ice mound at at the hands of the Durhamites a few days before, made a tacital erâ€" ror when they let their granites lay on the station plataform in the sun, prior to loading them on the train, says the Walkerton Bruce Times. Arriving at Durham they lifted the At the close of these numbers, the winners in the crokinole shooting were announced by Dr Bell who were Mr Cecil Blyth and Miss Barbara Ritchie, while Mr Stanley Pust and Miss Blanche Murdock captured the booby honors. Dr. Alex. M. Bell was appointed Chairman and a short program was placed in his hands, which he acceptâ€" ably presided over. The program had a real Irish flavor and were solos by Mrs C. C. Middlebro and Miss W. Blyth ; two quartettes by the Bell trio and Mrs Moore McFadden and a piano solo by Miss Alice M. Ramage. l That the Young Ladies‘ Auxiliary of the Presbyterian Church could arâ€" ’ range for an enjoyable social, has not ‘b«-n a secret heretofore, and after the Progréessive crokinole party o Monday eveffmg last, they only servâ€" ed to enhance that reputation. The schoolroom of the church was pretâ€" tily decorated in the St Patrick‘s Day color, green, paper festoons of the dear little shamrock of Ireland being suspended from pillar to pilâ€" lar. It is exceedingly doubtful if St‘ Patrick would have in his busy life, found time to enjoy a crack on the crokinole board, if such a board worv‘ existent at that time, but his annivâ€" ersary in Durham ‘was celebrated inI this manner with much ginger amlt go. Twenty one crokinole boards were brought into play and for an! hour or two the fun was fast and | furious. _ Judging by the unerrlng‘ eye and aim of some of the players,| King George‘s prize‘ at Bisley l‘ori the best rifle shooting, would seem | to be an easy accomplishment, and| for a few others, the pegs and dlt-’ ches saw most of their crokinole men Young Ladies‘ Auzxiliary Hold Crokinole Social In addition this week, the Voker Bodies limited hbave five men at work fitting up broken windows, and otherwise preparing the building for immediate occupancy.

Mr McKechnie thinks the matter of such importance that Council should send Mayor and Reeve to interview some American firm. Mr Freeman‘s letter to Mr McKechnie will appear in next week‘s issue of the Review. In the summer of 1924 he noticed an advertisement of a sale of a Cotâ€" ton Mill Plant at Welland, which by some manner had failed to function, but never a bid was made for it. some defect in title or other similar cause likelypreventing. A Cotton Mill for Durham? We are prompted to use the above heading, after perusing some corresâ€" pondence shown us by Mr Gilbert McKechnie. There are younger men in town than Mr McKeciWie, but few have the mental alertness that sees, or tries to see opportunities that will advance the interest of this town and community. Referring to Miss Kathleen‘s orâ€" gan work, the Brantford Expositor has this to say : "Miss Kathleen Milne contributed Stainer‘s "Fantasâ€" ia," Duncan‘s Ava Maria," Lee‘s "Festival Postlude," and gave a good display of technique and sympaâ€" thetic interpretation." As referred to in last week‘s issue of â€" the â€" ‘Review,‘ Miss â€" Kathleen Milne was â€" recently in Brantford, where she went to assist Mr Frank S. Weaver, Mus. Bach., and formerly of Knox Church, Walkerton, in a musical recital, which he arranged for his pupils. Miss Kathleen assisâ€" ted Mr Weaver in organ numbers, while Misses Marie Schwindt and Lucy Wettlaufer of Walkerton were also present to assist in vocal numâ€" bers. Also the choir of Alexandra church "contributed three anthems with much good taste." ‘ Took Part in Brantford Recital Almost all congregations in Sangâ€" een Presbytery have now voted, and the congregations have divided fairâ€" ly even between the United Church and the continuing Presbyterian. Westminster Church, Mt. Foresi, concluded balloting on Tuesday and gave the most pronounced verdict in the Presbyteryâ€"8 to 1 in favor of union. _ There were 205 votes for, and only 32 against. At a congreâ€" gational meeting a month ago, it was decided by a proportion of 7 to 1 to enter union without a ballot, but the antis demanded a vote, and se cured Rev. McKerroll of Toronto to address a public meeting at which 55 people were present, 40 of them Presbyterians. , Voting on church union in Knox, Normanby Presbyter‘n Church, clos ed Monday night. 20 votes were found polled for union and 49 aâ€" gainst, an anti majority of 29.

On Saturday, a specialist in children‘s diseases, Dr Hanna, was brought up from Toronto, who pronounced the little patient to be in a grave condition.
