GOLDEN WEDDING AT GRIERSVILLE Car Turns Turtle And The Driver Is Killed ( Shelburne JYee Press) A regretable and fatal accident occurred at > the peak of Caledon mountain at about duck on Sunday evening last when Fred Wallwork of Brampton. who was j;eturning home from visiting relatives at Rediekville, died instantly of a fractured skull when hts car turned turtle. Wall- work was descending the long hill when his car turned over. He was acompanied by his wife, step-daugh- ter and three children, all escaping e::cepl the .-.tep (laughter, whose arm was badly hurt. The deceased, who was in his -lord year, was a son of Jas. Wallwork of Rediekville. He returned recently from a lengthy so- journ in the West and for the past three months had resided in Bramp- ton, previous to which he was employ- ed on the highway construction work north of Brampton. Undertaker Gamble of Shelburne was notified late Sunday ight and he went down and brought the remains to Shelburne, after which they were taken to the home of his father at Rediekville. A young Walkertonian who had just purchased Harvey Damm's new Ford met with a nasty accident while motoring home from Hanover with two friends about 11 o.clock on Sunday night. The bus was gath- erng up speed to climb the big hill at Geo. Plowright's farm, when a young bullock suddenly loomed up on the road, and in hitting it a side swipe the flivver was deflected into the railing guarding the ap- proach to the C. P. R. track A scantling which was shivered by the crash, pierced the windshield and struck the driver on the hand, making a nasty wound and knocking the steering wheel off the car. Hit ting the driver a glancing blow on the chest it passed over his shoulder and jammed through the top of the bus. The two other inmates in the car had a close call from being spiked by the stick. The radiator, which connected forcibly with the fence, was crucher in. The total damage to the flivver is estimated at upwards of $100. An effort to determine the ownership of the beast is being made with a view to pass- .ing on the bill of costs. Walkerton Herald and Times Monday was a notable day in the lives of Mr and Mrs. Robert Aber- crombie of Griersville, when relatives and friends to the-number of about one hundred called upon them at the rsidence of their son, Mr. Stanley Abercrombie, for the purpose of en- joying their hospitality and congrat- versary of their marriage. A re- versary of theri marriage. A re- markable co-incidence of the happy event was the fact that it also was the 21st anniversary of the marriage of their son, Mr Fred, Abercrombie, as well as his father's birthday. It was fitting that a golden wedding anniversary should be held in the house where the respected bride and groom of fifty years ago were united in marriage by Rev. James Anderson, a Methodist minister. The bride was a Miss Elizabeth Taylor, who has proved *hreself a faithful helpmate of her husband all the intervening years. An excellent fowl dinner was ser- ved to about 25 or 30 guests who arrivd in the early part of the day and remained until the afternoon, while those who called later in the day were served with ice cream and a piece of the bride's cake of three stories, mounted on a golden-em- broidered setting. What perhaps was the most appro- priate and thoughtful feature of the gathering was the presentation of an address to Mr. and Mrs. Abercrom- bie. accompanied by the gift of fifty gold dollars to the former and a beau- tiful bouquet of marigolds to the latter. Little Madge Abercrombie read the addVess, while Jack and Phoebe Abercrombie made the pres- entation, all three being grand-child- ren of the half centurx bride and groom. ROCK MILLS T. H.

Howard Ferguson on Thursday last and requested that their salaries be increased from $3,000 to $4,000. "\Ve do not want to have too much of our time taken up making both ends meet." said Mr. Jordan. He argued that Inspectors at present are paid less than Principals of the public schools they supervise. The Premier replied that he had great deal of sympathy with thei-r position and while he could not state definitely what action he would take he prom- ised that he would meet their requests to some extent at least.
