His son-in- law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Harbottle, are here from Sault Ste. Marie in consequence of his illness. We have always admired Mr. Lauder from the first time we met him, and have serious regret in telling of his misfortune. We hope, however, that his illness is only temporary and that he may soon be restored to health. ‘ Wheat Wanted. At the Bob Ray Mills.

It costs a lot of. money to publish a daily paper, but a city without a daily newspaper seems to be lack- ing in one of its essentials.

The bottom of the doors facing the street were discovered on fire and there is no-doubt it was the work of a fire-bug.

' ' RUSSELL PLANT NOW RUNNING E NIGHT AND DAY SHIFTS The Jno. E. Russell stone-crushing plant is away for the season, and so far is surpassing all previous rec- ords in the matter of production. While last year they averaged about 30 cars a day, this year they will have no trouble in getting 50 on the tracks ready for hauling. During the winter the plant was practically rebuilt, new crushers put in, and work is now under way installing another crusher to speed up Opera-V tions. Besides all sizes of crushed stone, the plant here will ship about three cars of stone dust a day. Auto Livery. Housemaid‘ “ranged. We notice from the report of the Council meeting that one of the members has been authorized to get the water wagon repaired and in op- eration. The Chronicle rises to re- mark it can’t be got out a minute too soon, as the dust ”is something terâ€" rific, and the stores must be sufl‘er- ing great loss from the delay in hav- ing the dust'settled. See Flesherton Correspondence. Last year a narrow-gauge dinkey engine was used to haul the raw material to the crushers, but this year a larger and more powerful standard gauge dinkey does the work and the company also has their own standard railroad engine for doing their own yard work, placing cars and making up trains. Where one steam shovel handled the work last year, two are now engaged, and to facilitate loading sand, and other, products, and also for doing other heavy lifting about the plant, a 21-ton travelling crane, operating; anywhere in the yard from the or-’ dinary railroad track, has been pur- chased and is now very much on the job. i Can’t Come Too Soon. Ing'epdiary at. quk. a day Mr. Mark Lear, editor of the Her- ald at Thornbury a few years ago, died recently at his home in Shel- burne, where he was magager of “Shelburne Pictures.” Mr. Hartford was 68 years of age, and a resident of this town and vi- cinity practically all his life, and as a dealer in timber he was well- known, and, we believe, favorably known in the town- and country round about. For some time he had not been well and a couple of weeks ago was taken down with pneumonia which resulted fatally at an early hour Monday morning. Besides his sorrowing widow he leaves a family of six children, all grown up, as fol- lows: James, at home; Barney, in Detroit; Sam” in Kitchener; Mary (Mrs. Playford), in Owen Sound; Maggie (Mrs. Playford), in Hep- worth and Sadie, at home. Interment was made in St. John’s R. C. cemetery, Glenelg, yesterday morning, the service being conduct- ed by the pastor, Rev. Fr. McGeoy. A program committee was formed to assist the officers, and was com- posed of the following boys: Melvin Ryan, Ward Koch, Albert Kress and Donald Graham. It was planned to have the initia- tion ceremony in about two weeks, when some of the boys from Hanover would be invited over. DEATH OF E. J.
