Dr. Clarke's residence, garage, automobile and some furniture aed clothing; M. Snencer's implement shop, Cheer & Tweedle's coal office, F. Jaque's harness shop, and Booth's shoe shop were also completely destroyed. At one time it looked as if the Clarendon Hotel and a portion of Main street were doomed. Trenton was asked for assistance, and promptly sent the motor hose waggon, but by the time of its arrival the local brigade had the fire well under control. The total loss is estimated at about $50,000, party covered by insurance. Oshawa will spend $157,371 on concrete pavements. If the councillors imagine that sum will carry them from centre to circumference, there is a surprise in store for them.--Orillia Packet. Oril-lia citizens can speak from experience. A year ago the town council started the pavement movement and talked $75,000 or there abouts and finished the job with an expenditure of nearly $200,000 and the Packet now tells the story of a corner grocer, who found on receiving his tax bill this year that his taxes were increased $75 on account of the pavement. As the debentures run for 20 years the grocer has reason to kick. Cobourg town councillors who are talking paved roads at $0000 a mile should get wise, unless they intend to make the rate 70 mills in 1921 .--Cobourg Post. swill be he ie docket/ the J^Mr"Arthur ] r^Bchair in Ik who Mas,. ibly filled the .edge in 1919, ! regular Lodge Marriages 'a-t COAL Three cars of coal on the way.

The two most important things to remember about filing Dominion income tax returns may be stated again for the benefit of those who are still in doubt. In the first place, if you receive a not-e to report on your income, don't fail to do so. You will save yourself a fine of $600.00 and costs, by complying with his simple request. No matter what our income is, if a notice is sent to you .y the authorities, you are required to report. In the second place, if you are single and your income from all sources is $1,000.00 or more, you must make a return whether or not you get a notice. In other words, everybody who is liable to the income tax must file a report and everybody, whether liable or ' -o register the particulars as tlie "minorities request him Deaths Simpson--In Brighton Village, on Friday, May 14th, 1920, James O.

MAYHEW Jeweller Watchmaker Optician Colborre Sudden Death of Mrs. Wm. E. Eakins A very sad surprise and shock to her family, relatives, and the community, was the sudden and unexpected death of heart failure of Mrs. William E. Eakins, who was found deadln a chair by her Bon, Mr. Glen Eakins of the Standard Bank staff, upon his entering the home for his lunch at noon on Thursday, May 20th, 1920. Everything pointed to the fact that Mrs. Eakins had finished her morning household work and the preparation of the noonday meal, and had also about finished dressing for an afternoon motor trip which she and her son had intended taking, but upon feeling the weakness had sat down in an easy chair and had passed away quietly. Last winter, Mrs. Eakins had quite a severe attack of the influenza, which left her verv weak for a time, but is was expected that she had about fully recovered her usual strength. She appeared very well when her husband left home in the morning. Deceased, who was in her 53rd year, was born in Colborne, being a daughter of the late Emery Owens. Besides tier husband and son, she leaves a daughter, Miss Edna Eakins of Toronto; also two sisters, Mrs. B. H. Coyle of Colborne, and Mrs. Charles Merney of Mt. Maurice, N.Y., and five brothers, James, Peter. Daniel, Charles and George Owens, all living in New York State. Mr. and Mrs. Merney came over for the funeral. The funeral was largely attended on Saturday afternoon. The services were conducted at the home by her pastor, the Rev. R. A. Whattani, of Colborne Methodist Chureh, assisted by a former pastor, the Rev. R. Bamtorth of Deseronto. After which the interment took place in Jnion Cemetery.
