O! 13 WARDEN’S ADDRESS Gentlemen of the County Council: It is my privilege and pleasure to again welcome you to the Council Board, at this the closing Session of this year’s labors, and I am very pleas- ed to see your smiling countenances, and to feel assured that you have come prompted with a desire to dis- charge, with Wisdom and prudence, the various duties appertaining to the County Council of this important County. The recent Harvest seems to have been a variable quantity in different parts of our County; but on the whole I have no doubt there is room for thankfulness to the Giver of all good, and that there is abundance for man and beast throughout our borders, Among the many railway accidents which have been occurring of lateâ€"â€" and they have indeed been manyâ€"one seemed to come nearer home to us of l the County of Grey, I refer to the ac-; cident at Caledon mountain, at that1 point on the Canadian Pamfic Railway known as the ‘Horsc Shoe.’ The train starting from Markdale, with happy excursionists, and meeting so suddenly and unexpectedly, with so serious a catastrophe, resulting in the death of seven of our citizens, was indeed a sad. occurrence. 1 telegraphed, as Warden of the County, expressions of sympa- thy t0 the bei‘eaved and afflict-ed ones; and I am sure you all felt strong sym- pathy with the sufferers. be! Another matter in which I am sure you are all interested, and which doubtless has been a. source of regret to every member of this Council. are the statements contained in the Pre- sentment of the Grand Jury at the Fall Assizes, in which serious charges of mismanagement are brought against the officials of the County House of Refuge. As amember of the Standing Committee of the House of Refuge, I feel that I am in a position, from personal knowledge, to give a flat contradiction to the charges con- tained in the said Presentment. Vis- iting the House of Refuge once in every quarter of the present year, I know whereof I speak, when I say that the statements contained in that docu- ment as to the inmates not being pro- perly fed and cared for, is entirely wvithout foundation. The Inspectorâ€"- , Dr. Bruce Smithâ€"I am glad to know, ihas made an investigation into the ' whole matter, and his Reportâ€"now in |the hands of the County Clerkâ€"will be laid before you. Cleanliness and contentment reign supreme in the! House of Refuge, and every comfort which could be reasonably expected by the inmates, is freely furnished them; and I have heard from many of them hearty expressions of thankful- ness for the comforts with which they are surrounded. I fear there have been some chronic fault-finders on that Grand J uryâ€"we find them everywhere â€"-and that even these have gone some- what out of ther way to malign the management, perhaps from some petty Notice is hereby given that a. dividend at the rate of six per cent (670) n the capital 317001! Of this Bank has been declared for the period .of four (4) months .ending November 30th, 1907, and that the same will be payable at the Head Office and at the Branches on and after Monday, the 16th day of December next. . rm... “Mac... hnnks will be close from the let to the 14th day of December, THE SOVEREIGN BANK OF CANADA “In; vâ€"-â€" â€" The transfer books will be close from the let to the 14th c' both days inclusive.

One thing deserving of passing notice, is the fact that though the members of the Grand Jury who signed the Presentment, were all notified by the County Clerk to be present at Dr. Smith’s enquiry, only râ€"'~â€"--* , one of the three attended; and al- though the Foreman of the Grand Jury was in 'Markdale at the time of the investigation, and was personally asked to be present, he curtly sent back the message, that if Dr. Smith wanted him, he might come where he was. You oan drain your own infer- ence as to the reliability of the state. ments contained in that Presentment. I will ask you, through the appoint- ment of a Special Committee, or in whatever manner may to you seem best, to make full enquiry, and Report at this Session upon the Whole matter. I understand that some of the Bridges which were recommended to be built at the June Session, have been 1 completed I might mention amongst' these, the steel and concrete bridge at Priceville, (which had been left over from 1906), being on the townline of Artemesia and Glenelg; also, the ee- ment bridge over the Pottawatamie river, on the boundary line between Owen Sound and Sarawak. No doubt the chairman of the Road and Bridge Committee will place the particulars of these matters before you. Trusting that we shall have an inter- esting Session, and that the County’s business may be completed for the year, and left in good shape for our successors, believe me to be, gentlemen, Your obedient servant, HY.

W'e hope he was telling a. false- hood but we are afraid not. Mrs. (Rev.) Barry of Priceville, had the misfortune to fall down cellar at the Parsonage, fracturing four of her ribs besides a shaking up. We hope the lady will soon be able to be around. In the meantime she is attended by Dr. Dixon of Priceville and is doing as well as can be expected. \Ve are pleased to see Mrs. (Dr.) Dixon able to be about again after her sickness of some weeks ago. Inspector Campbell visited our school here on Monday last and gave a. good report of the school besides a lecture to the Trustees and Secretary. Mr. Campbell is cut out for his busi- ness, and has completed his twenty- one years in the office. In the after- noon he visited Priceville school and we presume] he found everything 0, K. there too. No teacher engaged at Top Cliff school yet. We understand Priceville has secured one but did not learn where from or What’s his name. Otto Konold purchased a manure spreader Which is the only one in the neighborhood. Complaints are numerous in our section for the high taxes this year, on account of raising the $300 required by the new school act for to pay the teacher quarterly. In reading about the olden times capied from the Durham Standard of 1859 it reminns us that times were just as hard in other parts as in the county of Bruce. In that year take the township of Proton and part of at the rate of six per cent (6%) General Manager.

The Family Herald and \Veekly Star is to-day easily Worth ten cents the subscription price to any I farmer. Its value in fact cannot be over-estimated. It is a wonderful combination of a weekly newspaper. family magazine and an agricultural ,journal Without 'an equal. Farmers, if you do not read the Family Herald and Weekly Star, of Montreal, you should give it a trial during 1907. Do not wait until January but remit one dollar now and you will never regret it.
