FARMERS MOUNT FOR EST . Nichol Jewel Principal. at Since we last wrot'e we have lost some of our neighbors and got some more. Arnold Noble has moved from the James Grey Farm to the farm that he bnught from A. S. Hunter and Nelson Eden has moved frmp_ the Leeson Farm to the one that A. Noble left. Palmer Patterson baa moved fluuz the James Johnston Farm "in Eg- remont to the one that N. Eaen left. 'We Wish them one and all the very best of success in their new homes. Dr. Leeson was very poorly for afew days last week but is about his \usual health again. There has been a very small attend- zuuce at our aChOOl for the past few weeks on :utcmmt of so many of the children being down with the measles. There are very few homes that have escaped the disease. The bux social held by the L. O. L. was a slim affair. There was a very small crowd on account of the weath- er. Alf McCabe was the auctioneer and they say he did well. so Brigham and McPhail had better look out or they will lose some jobs. The first tramp of the winter- was along last week and put in a. night in our barn. It. must have been a. pretty cold roost. We were very sorry to hear of the death of our old friend, Mr. Alex. Archibald of Allan Park. He was for many years on the board of the Ver- ney Circuit. We extend our sym- pathy to the bereaved ones. J: WTBIyEE’bas ordered andâ€""w'ill soon have on band 560 rods of wire fence so any one needing wire had bettercailand get his prices before buying. Adam Hillis and “'11). Bugle were busy laat week cutting Wood for John Ken and this week Bxlly is helping James ‘Vilton cut wood and logs. Norman Kerr has a good lot of logs and shingle and lath timber in the mill yard. It does not look as if timb- er was getting scarce. He has engag- ed Rnbert \Vehber for the summer so he will have the above timber all in shape for sale as soon as the Spring opens. Mrs. J. W. Blvth spent a week ago Sunday and Monday with her niece. Maud Burnett. \liss Winnie was helping with the wm-k last week and Eva this week. Maud is nut getting better as fast as we wuuld like to see her but she is so very patient, more so than most of us would be I think. l‘he train Wreck at Varney last Fri- day brought great crowds here all the afternoon and away on in the night peOple came to see. “7 e watched the two wreeking crews until 4 a. m. Sat- urday morning. This is the second wreck at the same place in a very few years. It seems almost like judgment on the G. T. R. for not :mswering the prayers of the people of the entire neighborhood by putting in a switch. Surely theynvill give it to us now. we hope so at any rate. We should have had it long ago. Dr. Leeson, Mr. Richardson, \Vm. Long and Mr. \Vm. Allen accompan- ied the injured to the hospital in Mt. Forest. 'l‘heahove people and many others gave their assistance to help get the injured from the wrecked car. Robert and James Bryan who saw the 0:11“ {:0 Off the. truck Were on the scene in :L few mmnents.

This wagon is ti. first to be constructed by the cox'npciy in the West and although apparently .of light construction has the unusual capacity of twelve tons and stands level with the floor of the ordinary box car. It doesn’t cost a picayune to hum a blithe and cheerful tune as you lope down the road: the Sight of you. so bright and gay. may cheer some pil- grim on his way and ease his weary load. It doesn’t.

Very interesting reports; of the ’Work carried on by thq resâ€"i pectiv-e Clubs Were given by each! delegate, and all were enthusiastic, ASK- and optimistic concerning their plans for future .co-operatiom. I A central organization, known asi the Grey County Board of lAgri- culture was formed, and a consti-! tution drawn up for the same. The Board consists of two delegates“ from each Club, and corresponds! to .a town or city Board of Trade.’ At the annual meeting of such} Board, and executive committee ofg five is elected by ballot from a-; mong the delegates present; thei District Representative being a. permanent member of the com--l mittee. The Executive for 1912! consists of the following members:' N. Perdue, .Massie; .W;C. Milsonfl‘ Goring; L;E. Bowes, Strathmairn; Dy‘ ‘H. Shore, Clarksburg; J,F. Dol-' {phim Tara, and H.‘C. Duff, Markâ€"f i dale. : This concerted action on the part of the Farmers’ Clubs, marks an; vapoch in the ‘history of Ico-opera-i tion. The proud and independent: tiller of the soil has :ever s‘hown‘ af marked reluctance toward recog-f nizing a common interest. and has; neglected 1113an an opportunity for coming to a mutual understanding with his fellow farmer.

Last Friday night being the monthly meeting of the Varney Grange, a considerable number were in attendance, but the usually quiet little hamlet was greatly exâ€" cited over the railroad wreck, which interfered consiclm-alfly with the business part of the meeting and not much business was done. The members decided to have entertainment on Friday even: March '2911d. which will be an o me ma born to Mrfihnd Mrs. J eke Foaney. We found out, when too late, we were rather previous. Mr. John Thompson delivered a nice blocky mare to Ed. Limin on Saturday last. -The price paid was $200. Mr. John Brown was on the line on Friday last, and purchased some cattle from Mr. Andrew Stewar and your honorable scribe. The price paid was 55c. 1b. ' One day last week. a farmer Was sitting in his sleigh on the street in Aytom, holding his team, .a pretty fine span. A horse buyer approached and asked if they were for sale. On being answered no, the buyer said “I’ll give you $550. ” “No,” said the farmer. $600. No $650. But the farmer still stuck to it. and the buyer be‘came discour- aged, or disgusted, we don’t know which, and walked away Nor- manby can do it, and :always does do it on a. large seale. Mr. Thos.
