A knght of the road better known as a transient covers a g<xxlly dis- tance in the course of a week, but a farmer who plows his fertile acres covers a lot (more. The sJtory is that a transient was offereti a job to pk)w a fifteen acre field near Tiv- erton for fifteen dollars. He seems to have bet-n good at figures and he had it worked out that to plow that field he would have to cover one hundi-ed "and sixty miles. He .locidcd he would sooner do the walk- ins: on the provincial highw^ay system lid travellod-on. KIMBERLEY Oar moat sincere sympathy is ex- tended to Mra. W. H. Thurston and family in the death of husband and father. Our acquaintance with Mr. Thurston has extended over a period of more than fifty years, and we know his life has been one of activity for good in whatsoever place he has been found before hia entrance into any public life. When a boy among his associates of the Valley he was known as a boy of truth and upright- ness. Coming from the family of his parents it would be difficult to be otherwise. Our sympathy is also extafided to Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Weber in the sud- den death of their infant son, aged 6 months. The young people were entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Mc- .A.U3lan on Tuesday night. The recent storm has closed the road over the hills from Mr. N. E. Burritt's to Eugenia for cars.
