CHRISTMAS TABLE DAINTIES The entertain* children of this nelghborhood on Friâ€" day evening last proved a | decided success. The cpening address by litâ€" | tle Ross McConkey: ‘The Shepierds‘ by ‘Aileen Karstedt: ‘The Squirrel | Land‘ by Wilma Bartlett, Dorothy | Watson, and ‘L wonder why‘ by Tomâ€" , my Mather, were all ciearly spoken, | with good expression by the little | folks. The singing by the scholars ‘ was equally good and the groupinig and placing in point of size, was a pleasing . sight. ‘Good Night Parent5‘ was their closing nnmber. All their pleces were given very successsfully. Miss Alice Re‘ley accompanied on the piano throughout in a pleasing, supporting manner. Their training by Miss Edna McHugh, teacher here, came in for a good mead of deserved praise and was mentioned by chairâ€" man (Rev W. H. Bartlett) as well, not only in training, but in arranging _and making of dresses, etc. She cerâ€" Henderson‘s Bakery ficers took place for the new year Pres., Mrs Sutherland: Vice Pre mcMmilhan: Mrg. J. McMeekin Jr., as Treasurer : Mrs McMeekin Sr and Mrs D. Campbell, auditors. Lunch was served at close. Mr Robt Whittaker arrived â€"home after spending the summer in Queâ€" bec, New Brunswick and other places the following Coods : Bran ~ROrss Oat Chop Crimpled Oats FEED Shorts Price $99.50 tainly had her hands full The wedâ€" ding of ‘Wg.ylow'l' where the couple were united in the ‘bonds of padâ€" lock‘, the bride stamping her foot negatively at the word ‘obey‘, and the bride‘s attendants looking their loveliest in dresses ‘of fifty years ago (in point of length) was a fine numâ€" ber, well done. ‘Red Riding Hood‘ was a very realistic play even to the growl of the wolf and the makeâ€"up from head to tail, as it came upon the stage (Miss Annie McLean) and little Red Riding Hood were splendid examples of acting. Master Alex We‘ir as woodsman, in green hat and green stockings, red uniform, horn, and necessary accoutrements, coming on splendidly at the right time to save the wood nymphs (6) with their wings, looked and acted splendidly. The plece de resistance was the pantomime, ‘The old rugged cross,‘ where the five girls In white, Catherâ€" ine McVicar, Isabel Mather, Margaret McLean, Mamie Teeter and Violet Stoneouse, displayed symmetry of acâ€" tion and poise in their movements. \ Mrs H. B. McLean sang the wellâ€" , known words sympathetically and | softly in fine voice "Sing a song of Christmas" was sung by 8 little colâ€" ored boys and was well and heartily acted, the burden of which was no work on Christmas Day. "Miss Greggs‘ Christmas Orphans‘ by the bigger grownâ€"ups was well done, where so many responded to an ‘ad‘, asking for a companion to spend the festive day with her, being loneâ€" ly. They all stayed, exemplifying the saying, ‘It never raics but it pours . The choir, with Mrs Thos Weir at the piano, contributed three ‘fine Christmas selections. To Mr Shackleâ€" ton, principal, is due the arranging and management of the entertainment An orchestra compoesed of Mrs G. Whyte, Jack McKechnie on violin : Walter Renwick on mandolin and Miss Alice Reiley on piano supplied music between acts most acceptably. Votes of thanks to all who assistâ€" cd closed a fine concert. One of the best trees ever had but marred slightly by certain smart alicks who persist in throwing candies from the gallery and maintaining a ‘conversaâ€" tion during the most interesting pieâ€" ces. Others were also in evidence who ought to have known ‘better. Before Santa arrived, Miss Agnes Bartlett‘was presented with the madâ€" al, given as a first prize for writing by Soc‘y Ramage of the Ag‘1 Society here. The medal donated by the Nor. Bus. College of Owen Sound, was a fine design of silver with a centre of gold on one side and name beautifully engraved of the winner, and the source from whence it came. Mr Ramage in complimenting Miss Bartlett in winning, not only in this, but in other fairs as well, made refâ€" erence to the benefit of good penmanâ€" ship, though it was not to be comâ€" pared with a good education itself. Still it was a pleasing accomplishâ€" ment to have. He expressed regret that more scholars did not compete. M:ss Bartlett replied, thanking the donors through the Sec‘y, for the fine medal, which she would always prize. Two fine sermons were given on Sunday of a Christmas nature, cenâ€" tering round the name ‘Emmanuel, God with us,‘ and referred to the downfall of other nations who refusâ€" ed to acknowledge Him in the past and who had not God with them. In the ecvening, the subject was ‘Christâ€" mas Bells‘. Many memories were aâ€" wakened of the bells of earlier days, ringicg out good will and peace on carth to men in the birth of Christ. A birth is the grcatest event in the home: Death is not. ‘Tis only a fare well unt‘l they meet in a better land. More bells have been rung throughâ€" out the universe over the greatest birth that is now being celebrated. The choir contributed an anthem by Fearis "All praise to Thee, Eternai Lord". The solo was taken by Mrs. H. B. McLean in a fine sustained voice at the morning service. A joyous Christmas (we don‘t like the word ‘Merry‘â€"too Bacchanalian) to all readers, whether in ties of reâ€" lationship, in ties of friendship and to all acquaintances. _ And a coming happy New Year as well. F Messrs McConkey and McVicar were thanked for gift of candies for the children. In the absence of Sanâ€" ta. Mr McGillivray took his place, Hopeville community extends to Editors and readers best wishes for a merry Christmas anga . happy New Mr aud Mrs Robt McK.inney have come to spend the winter at the "~ ts _ home of son Wm. in the village.

Fergusâ€" on, on Friday, Dec 18, this neighborâ€" hoog@ lost one of its best known and respected citizens. In the year 1858, Jchn Ferguson was born on lot 3, con 15, Proton and there for almost 74 years he has lived in harmony with all people. Jack was known in every home in this locality, as while a young man he was a noted thresher and in that capacity knew both old and young anud was generally liked, always quiet yet of a lively disposiâ€" tion and giving offence to no man. There are left to mourn his wife and one daughter Hazel, Mrs Geo. Duncan and two sons, Arch. of Calgary, who was home to help wait on his father the last two weeks and Kenneth at home. _ Also two sisters, Mrs Sarah Brown of Winnipeg and Bella, Mrs. McGiliivray, Egremont, and one broâ€" ther Archie, of Proton. The funeral was on Sunday atterâ€"‘ noon,. burial in Swinton cemetery. A young student of Knox College, Mr Kerr by name, ably conducted service at the house, in the church and at the graveside, The church was filled to the doors with an attentive and sympathetic gathering of neighbors and friencs. ‘The minister read Româ€" ans 8, and tock as his text the last two verses "For I am persuaded that ncither Death or Hell, etc, etc, From these words he gave a sympathetic and encouraging address. The mournâ€" ers have the sincere sympathy of the whole community. Only a few of the boys who started to school with deâ€" ceased 68 years ago are left and we will while life remains, think kindly of John L. Ferguson. For many years Mr Ferguson has been a member of S. P. church, also of the managing board. Six nephews were pall bearersâ€" Ne.l McEachnie, Arch Ferguson, Hugh McDonald, Gorâ€" don Ferguson; Hugh McLean, Alex. Ferguson. There were beautiful floral offerings from the family, brother, Arcliie and sister Mrs McGillivray : from Sarah and John Ferguson: Mr. axd Mrs Jno. Carsen, Orillia: Mrs F. Runcimar, Mollie Ferguson and Nel lie McLean, Toronto: Mrand Mrs Alâ€" ex Ferguson, London. Friends from a distance were Mrs Agnes McEachnie and Peter, Toronâ€" to: Misses McNeil, Drayton: Mrand Mrs Jack Carson, Orillia: Mrand Mrs Alex Ferguson, London. A red letter day was Monday, Dec 21 when in the school, Miss Ritchie, wi.a upwards of 40 scholars, enterâ€" tained the parents and others to the number of 50. Just at 2 p.m. Mr Bert Maitin, school secretary, took the chair and called the meeting to order and all present paid strict attention to a fine program of dialogues, reciâ€" tations, choruses, quartets and duets. There were also old folk dances, step dancing, highland fling by Edna Lyâ€" ons, the Irish Washerwoman by Stelâ€" la Corbitt. Mr Geo Haw supplied the music for the Gancers. Just then Sanâ€" ta Claus came in and distributed the presents off a wellâ€"iaden tree to these 40 bright eycd children, During the program, littie Helen Irwin was calâ€" led to the platform and the teacher graciously presented her with a silâ€" ver cup, donated by the T. Eaton Co. to the child taking most points at the school fair _ At the close, Miss Ritchie and older pupils served an aâ€" bundant lunch to all. OQver 100 were there, showing great interest in the work of the school.and none were disappointed. Of course it was a Scotch affair, no charge. Now, Mr Editor, you might tell the dowi: trodder farmers that ere long they can rejoico as we have it from good authority that there is to be a great demand for cattle for the exâ€" port trade in the near future. High Commissioner Ferguson on his _ reâ€" turn to England last fall shot the bull that already cattle are noticeabâ€" ly scarcer on the market.

Ard Watt, the Southampton youth, who has received much publicity ovâ€" er the fact that he scaled the jail walls at Walkerteon and escaped. to ind Watt pleaded guilty to both chargâ€" es through his counsel O E Klien, of Walkerton, who, though he did not condone the offences Watt committed _â€"ged upon the court leniency and to send him to the reformatory, rather «.1 penitentiary, owing to his youth. When asked before senterce if he had anything to say on his own beâ€" balf, Watt replied that he did not feel he would have much chanrce for parole this time. He thought he had «0i been given a square deal by socieâ€" ty generally and that the police had bounded him continually. Other offences for which Watt had been found guilty and served time were for theft, vagrancy, liquor and puiting turpentine on a dog. wWHEN TIMES ARE GOOD PREPARE FOR BAD ONES Advice of Sir Clifford Sifton Before his death, Sir Cliffoerd Sifâ€" ton wrote a letter to his son Harry, ia which he said: "Finally, with re spect to your uewspaper properties, when great prosperity comes, I adâ€" jure you not to regard it as a spendâ€" v“.g furu to spoil yourselves ard ruin your families......In time of prosperâ€" ity prepare for trouble. Now, if evâ€" ery farmer, every merchant, thous ands of working men and all classes had followed advice like that, there would not be so many hardâ€"up people in the Matter of the Estate of Donald McMillan, late of the Township of Glenelg, in the County of Grey, Farmer, deceased.

When we all get to accept and practice Sir Clifâ€" ford‘s advice, depression won‘t hit us so hard. The advice is not new: it has been coming through the agâ€" es, but people go on turning a deaf ear to it.
