Stewart at the outskirts of town on Wednesday night of last week that was associated with the oHrly pioneer day-3. The building was of log construction, but it is not pnown by whom it was erected. It housed the first postoffice in the township, the postmaster being John Sproule, who later moved to Fever- bham. At various times it has hous- ed the minister and doctor who tray, ^lled the trails in the early days. The last occupant of the home was the late Andrew Carr, who moved tc Flesherton about thirty years ago Since that time the building has been u::od aj a sheep barn, and about 14 tons of hay were stored therein and was n complete loss. While the cause of the fire is unknown it is thought that a transient dropped a lighted match in the hay. â€"HAVE YOU RENEWED? i (HB STORB WITH â- mnca F. T. HILL&CO.,Ltd.

Abcr- ciombie, whose maiden name was Klixa Jane Knott. She was the only surviving member of the family of the late Mr. and Mrs. James Knott, and was born 85 years ago last June, the first white child born in Euph- rasia township. She was married to the late Thomas AberMromibie on October 4th, 1865 and they celebrat- ed their golden wedding in 1915.

Mc- Auslan, assisted by the Rev. J. R. Wilkinson, both old friends of the deceased, preached very comforting sermons. The hymns were old fav- orites, the choir singing "I will sing you a song of a beautiful land." By special request the flowers were pick- ed from the gardens and tho profus- ion of bloom was an evidence of the love and respect of which Mrs. Aber- crombie was worthy. Although of a retiring disposition the deceased was always ready to help in time of sickness. Living so tar from the Dr. and next to the school, the younger ones as well as their parents came to depend upon her and she shared their greatest .sorrows as well as their smallest pains. She was a staunch member of the United church and took a very great interest in the Missionary Society ol which she was a life member.

Rural life -still has its fascination. The hot chicken suppers are again in our midst. In spite of the so- called depression the chickens are just as tender, the crust is just as flakey, the pumpkin pies are just as toothsome and the patronage that these happy social affairs are receiv- ing appears to be just as big as of yore. WTiile picking apples on Saturday Mr. Harry LeGard had the misfortune to fall and break his right arm. He was attempting to reach for several apples that were out on a limb when the ladder on which he was standing turned, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the gi-ound. On Monday an x-ray was taken to observe the extent of the injury and the fraMure was then reduced. FRESH EGG PRODUCTION DOWT« MODERATE PRICE ADVANCES SEEN GRADES OF EGGS ARE RECLASSIFIED In future graded eggs will consist of "Al," "A," "B" and "C", accord- ing to an announcement to-day by the Department of .Agriculture. This simplifies the grading of eggs and displaces the old system of "specials,* ,'extras," "first" and "seconds." The words "new laid" wiii be usco only in conjunction with grade "Al," and the word "fresh" may be applied only to grades "Al" and "A." All eggs poses-sing the quality of grade "A" may be sold in that grade ir- respective of size. However, eggs of different -sizes must be packed sep- arately with the size indicated on the container. Storage eggs will not be permitted to be sold in a higher grade than grade "B". Changes were also made to prevent misrepre.sentation in tht sale of storage eggs. Will Open Variety Store Mr. Jack Hill has rented the prop- erty beside the Stewart grocery store occupied for a number of years by T. J. Fisher as a barber shop. Mr. Hill intends to opefi up a variety store in the near future. PLOWING M.\TCH SUCCESS John Capton, a Six Nation Indian fi-om Oshweken, captured the Eaton Trophy from a field of thirty-seven plowmen at the International Plowing Match held in Derby township neai Owen Sound last week. His Wctory "'as a noteahle one, as many of tht most expert plowmen in Ontario were among his competitors. More than 164 entries were made in the -second day's comjietitlon, a record entry, and 15,000 persons packed the field to watch the events. The weath- er was ideal for plowing and the tent- ed cit^ housing exhibits of farm machinery and other goods was crowd- ed. According to T. A. Benson, of the Dominion Poultry Branch, fresh egg production is falling off rapidly and there is a good movement of storage. The market has continued firm with prices steadily advancing. Furthei gains were in evidence on both To- ronto and Montreal marTcets, Toronto showing to somewhat better advant- age than Montreal. The prospects would seem to be for continuing mod- erate advances in prices and the con- sumptive demand appears to be re- covering considerably. Export de- mand remains steady with apparently good prospects for the future. Small Advts. Lost or Strayed STRAYED â€" A yearling steei came to my premises about July 18.
