A full Line of MEN‘S R. H. FORTUNE, Auctioneer mount rorger A nice Line of TORONTO Profits for the year amounted to $821,886.71 and were greater than in any previous year. Deposits showed an increase of $3,700,000.00 for the year and now satand at $72,148,588.13. Current loans now stand at $39,493, 951.95, an increase of around $1,240, 000 for the year. Immediately availâ€" able assets are $43,808,121.11 which is slightly over 55 per cent of the aâ€" mount of the Bank‘s liabilities to the ‘public. In the Ontario House, Treasurer Monteith has presented his budget on which there will be discussion. Tae deficit is getting smaller anyway, beâ€" ing now about $800,000, and the promâ€" ise is made that next year there will be a "balance budget." This hope vrests apparently on the increased revenue that is to come from Govâ€" ernment Control, which it is estimaâ€" ted will be 3% million dollars ! So it is up to Ontario to get a thirst on. To get this amount will require more drinking and more drinking which we fear will result in more drunkenness. We shall see. The most successful year in the history of the Standard Bank of Canada was reviewed by the share hoiders at the annual meeting at th Head Office, Toronto, on Wednesday, Feb. 23rd. The House at Ottawa listened last week to Hon. Mr Robb present Mai third Budget and the opinion of the | country, with few exceptions, think it | is the best one he has given. The | salient points are: a 10 per cent| easement on the income tax, aboli | tion of the sales tax, abolition of the : graduated stamp tax on notes, checks etc. and arranging to have only a 2â€" cent stamp on all checks, etc, no matter what is the amount. As it has been $50 or under 2 cts, and 2¢ or every succeeding $50 : $101 would cost 6¢, $1001 would cost 42¢, etc. There were some other reductions, and there is to be & reduction 20 or 30 millions of the National Deb. No mention of reduction of tariff is made and this fact is likely to bring a motion from the Progressives proâ€", testing this omission. | The Wets in the United States met with a decisive defeat in the lower House oi Congress recently, only mustering a handful of votes. The House passed appropriation of thirty millions toaid in enforcing the Volstead law. The report, on the whole, reflects the improved _ business _ condition which prevailed in Canada throughâ€" out the year and the increase in evâ€" ery department reflects the policy of the management of giving every lsâ€" gitimate encouragement to Canadian business. _ The shareholders should be gratified. at Ottawa and Toronto The directors and other officials of Chesley Agricultural Society have been coâ€"operating with their town council, in making plans for the eâ€" rection of a new Exhibition Buildâ€" ing for their Fair grounds. 1t will be a one storp structure but will be & substantial building of steel and concrete, and as it is to be 100 by 45 feet, it will provide a useful hall for other purposes as well. The town is being canvassed for subscriptions. Perhaps the most popular change in the revised Anglican Book of Comâ€" mon Prayer is the omission of the word "obey" in the marriage serâ€" vice. It had become a dead letterâ€" a promise seldom made in sincerity and more seldom keptâ€"one that never could be or should be enforced. New Exhibition Building for Chesley The Brantford Expositor thinks that when D. B. Hanna gets into harâ€" ness as head of the control board, he‘ll be certain his initials stand for Durned Busy. _ Since we last wrote we received | the sad news of a fatal accident which befel Wm. Mclivride, youngest son | of Mr and Mrs Alex. Mcllvride in | Victorig, B. C. Working in a large | mill, he in some way fell through a trap hole a distance of 20 feet and fractured his skull in two or three places, He died shortly afterwards. He was in the 2ist year of his age. After early morning refreshments of ice cream and cake, the guests joined in singing ‘Auld Lang Synâ€"‘ and asgured Mr and Mrs Shiels of their joy in thus helpinx to make them happy and in leaving them with the best wishes of the communâ€" ity." An address and presentation was tendered the young (!) couple, M:. Frank Shields, the eldest son, makâ€" ing the presentation on behalf of the family, neighbors and friends of the Craik district. . Many of the neig â€" bors paid tribute to the sterling qualâ€" ities of Mr and Mrs Shiels as true neighbors. Mr Shiels replied, thankâ€" ing the company for the gift of the purse of gold and good wishes, statâ€" ing on behalf of bimself and Mrs. Shiels, their appreciation of the honâ€" or done them by a large turn out of friends. A feature of the after supâ€" per dancing was a ladies‘ choice, for which Mrs Geo. Anderson, a neighâ€" bor of long standing, was successful in persuading Mr Shiels to be her partner. _ Despite his 73 years, Mi. Shiels proved that he could still take his place on the floor, going through the figures with wonderfully lignt step. Golden Wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Shiels (On the occasion of the golden wedâ€" ding, sixty friends and neighbors gathered at their home to honor them and with music, dancing and feastâ€" ing, the assembled guests made merâ€" ry until daylight and the event provâ€" ed a most happy and sociable one. Uncommonly busy and ‘sucking from the air is not at all conducive to budget writing, but we really mus{, Messrs Johnnie and Robbie Mc Vean have purchased the Stewart farm at the ‘Comrners‘, paying in the neighborhood, we hear, of $8000. The farm for the past five years, has been rented to Mr Norman Schenk who, we are sorry to say, will be leaving this neighborhood in a week for his new home on the Provincial, road, reâ€" cently purchased from Mr Wm. Keller Never in our little lifetime have we experienced a more delight!ul winter than the present for both weaâ€" ther and roads. Quite a number of our farmers hied away to Holstein on Saturday last to secure a supply of. soft Western wheat. We purchased some along with the rest and are just a little fearful of being jerked up for having a "still." It smells bad or good just according to your fancy. We are sorry to report Mrs. Henrp Damm somewhat under the weather with a slight affection of the heart. Messrs Andrew Stewart, Kenneth Park and Wm. Thompson are about the only farmers around here likely to make a little money this winter; drawing logs the past month almost every day to Neustadt. The account below is taken from the Craik, Sask. Weekly ‘News‘ and telis its own story of former Egreâ€" mont residents, who yet have many friends residing in the Township.â€" Editor. The worthy family have had a family of nine children, of whom 5 sons and 2 daughters are alive. There are twenty five grandchildren and three great grand children. Mr and Mrs Shiels have been blessed with good health all their lives and are still hale and hearty. "Mr. and Mrs James Shiels were married fifty years ago on Tuesday, Feb. 8th, in Holstein, Grey Co., Ont. They farmed in Grey Co. until 1906 when they moved west to Craik, buying ‘land near Penzance, which they still own. _ Eleven years ago, they bought a half section of land 6 miles north east of Craik and here they are still actively engaged in farming. Mr Shiels was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1854 and was only three months old, when his people emiâ€" grated to Gait, Ont.

Jay on Wednesday morning, Edith May eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs. Thos. Dingwall, to George, youngâ€" Monday night under the auspices of the Ladies‘ Aid, a bountiful supâ€" per was served from 6 to 8. This was followed by a good program, corâ€" sisting of addresses by local minisâ€" ters, home talent and ably assisted by Messrs Benson and Padfield from Durham. The National Anthem closed the gathering which all felt had been a success. The choir under the direction of Miss Ethel Sharp, contributed anthâ€" em, duet and two selections which were much appreciated. The speaker emphasized the neces sity of ‘Christians helping each other to bear life‘s burdens by giving the word of cheer and smile of encourâ€" agement. While as individuals there were inevitable burdens which each must bear for himself he pointed out that the great secret of bearing life‘s burdens was revealed in the 55th Psalm and 22nd verse, where we are invited to cast our burdens upou God. "Cast our burden upon Jehovâ€" ah and He will sustain thee." The evening message was entitled "Life‘s Burdens" choosing his text from the 6th chap. of Galations, 2nd and 5th verses, "Bear ye one anothâ€" er‘s burdens," "For every man must bear his own burdens." Mr Hunt‘s morning theme was "Prayer. He chose as his text, porâ€" tions of the 2nd and 3rd verses of the 4th chap. of Epistle of James, "Ye have not because ye ask not;" "Ye ask and receive not, because ye ask amiss." The speaker dwelt upâ€" on the necessity of prayer in the life of the individual and made a powerâ€" ful plea for the family altar, illus trating his messages from experien ces gained in homes, where he had been called to share the burden of sorrow and often he found that th«e deep regret of parents in the midst of their sorrow, was that their erring children had never heard them li/t their voices in prayer for them, or that they had ceased to pray for their children. Miss Stacia RBrown of Sault Ste Marie, Mich., spent a few days the first of the week with her cousins, the McCall family. Miss Blair, Orchard, spent the week end with Rev. and Mrs Jay, and assisted in the choir at the Anâ€" niversary services. 7 Mr Lucas, Manager Bank of Monâ€" treal, spent the week end with his friends in Toronto. The annual Women‘s Institute At Home, was held in Roberts‘ Halil on Thursday evening of last week. Tae mailn item on the programme was a debate "Resolved that men spend more time and money on. themselves than women do." The affirmative was upheld by Mrs. McGuire and Miss Matilda Christie, while the negalive was taken by Messrs Arthur Hastie and Arthur Smith,. The judges, Mesâ€" dames Tuck and Rogers . and Miss McKechnie decided in favor of the aMrmative. Selections by the orâ€" chestra before and after the debate were heartiy appreciated. _ Rev. C. Jay made a very efflicient chairman, and made fitting remarks on the deâ€" bate. After the program, lunch was served and the meeting closed with the National Anthem. Behoid as others slept, Stealthily from the Parsonage crept, And on old ‘Sparky‘ silently stepped Our bride and groom while others wept. The Old Time Fiddlers‘ Contesi has reached Saskatchewan and an old Egremont boy is starring in this particular line. â€" He is Robt. Mason, son of Mr and Mrs John Mason, and nephew of Mrs J. Hincks, R. R. 2, Hols:zin. He has not only won the contest, recently held at Craik, Sask but repeated the stunt in Moose Jaw.
