H. Moore is one of the pioneer medical men of the Poreupine. To fill the part the story books would make him rough and ready and burly and careless in dress and manner, but real life does better; it presents him simply as he is,â€"a modern professionâ€" al man, quiet in his manner, careful in his appearance, and efficient in his profession. He came to the Poreuâ€" pine in February, 1911, and settled at Pottsville, adjoining Golden City. Golden City was then the great town of the Poreupine. â€" There was no Timâ€" mins as yet, and South Porvupme had not grown to any pr oportions. Dr. MeLaren was the medical practitioner at Golden City in those days while at the Domé the doctor was Dr. MeLean. In November, 1912, Dr. Moore came to Timmins,â€"then the promising town of the North Land. In kis own quiet way Dr. Moore has helped to fulfil the promises of 1912, and contribute to the actuality of to) day. â€" Me has taken his part in the advance.of the mtcx.g.bts of Timmins and in many ways given his time and abrility to the service of the community. â€" He has been an efficiâ€" ent and helpful member of the Town Council since 1914, and this is uis fifth year as Chairman of the Finance Committee. _ This chairmanship is viewed by many as the most difficult of all the positions in the Couneil. In Upwards of 10,000 House Plants and Rooted Cuttings at South Porcuâ€" pine Nurseries. There certainly need be no necessâ€" ity for people in the Poreupine sendâ€" ing away for flowers or plants, when the pioneer in these Mr. Bert Dewar, of the South Poreupine Nurâ€" eries, offers such a selection and variâ€" cty. _ He has upwards of 10,000 house plants and rooted euttings, 200 Shamâ€" rocks for the lith of QOld Oireland, 250 hanging baskets highly decorated, 1000 pots of Wandering Jew, and flower, cabbage and other vegetables plants by the dozen or the thousands. A visit to the South Poreupine Nursâ€" cries will be a pleasant revelation to most people. The showing there of beautifal and healthy plants would do credit to any of the Southern Ontario towns or cities. Up in this country, its unusualness makes it a very marâ€" vel. â€" There are 1000 hyacinths, tulhps, jonquils, daffodils, of various eolors, in pots, with the prices running from as low as 25 cents. The 1000 pots of Wanderingz Jew are being sold from 13e a pot up. It will be proven by a visit to the South Poreupine Nursertes that it will pay the local patriotism and loeal pocket alike to buy fowers, dr vegetable plants needed, at â€"these GREAT FLOWER SHOW IN THE NORTH LAND wurseries, for the prices are as low as Toronto prices, and express and inâ€" comvenience gre saved, as well as the flowers being ‘fresh. Indeed, it will pgy anyone to pay their train fare to South Porcupine if in searech of the beautiful flowers. A . visit to the So. Porcupine Nurseries is a pleasure that none who can enjoy should deny them selves this vear.

This office is still at South Poreupine, and likely will so remain unless the peoâ€" ple do a little prodding at the Governâ€" ment. If a private business instituâ€" tion were concerned, the office would have been moved when the business moved. â€"No upâ€"toâ€"date concern would continue an oflice in one town when the business had practiceally all moved to. another town.
