The snow has been on the ground here for a month now, which is quite unusual, . The crops in this district were excellent this | vear, making a yvery high average. There is probably about 30 per cent of wheat to thresh yet, which I do not expect will be done until spring.

We do not know how many years Mr Dunn bhas been serving Moose Jaw but we do know that they bave a splendid _ official at the head of afâ€" fairs for 1928 and evidently the city know it too, judging by the vote. He retired from the Council in 1924 as he was also Magistrate. His duties in this respect earned him the i1t will of the foreign element, . as he checked them up in the law courts there.

Shier Fatally Injured _ Mr and Mrs. Thos. Greenâ€" when Truck Overturned wood Hold Golden Wedding Mr Shier was riding with Mr Geo. MceMeekin in the latter‘s truck d they were bringing a load of sweet clover to town. When almost at the crest of Rocky Hill, the latter changâ€" ed gears and the car commenced to slip backward‘s. The brakes were apâ€" plied and while they retarded, would not hold sufficiently to bring the truck to a stop. _ Mr. Shier got out and stood on the running board and had he jumped off would â€"have esâ€" caped injury. However, seeing he could not halt the car the driver turned it towards the east bank near the water trough, about half way down the hill. One rear wheel went up the bank first and tilted the truck over, pinning Mr. Shier who had 1eâ€" mained on running board beneath. George quickly extricated him and had him conveyed to Durham hospiâ€" tal, where it was found four ribs had been broken, one of which just plereâ€" ed the lung. His wounds were howâ€" ever, not regarded as serious, until Saturday, when his condition became worse and on Sunday, brother and sisters were sent for. On Monday morning his brother Wesley, sisters, Miss Amanda and Mrs Doupe and a brotherâ€"inâ€"law, â€" arrived from Huron Co., whom he recognmized a short time before the spark of life fled. George was 64 years of age, unâ€" married, and for about thirtyâ€"five years has been a resident of Durâ€" He was born at Woodham, Huron Co., and lived on the home farm unâ€" til 1892, when he came to Durham to work for his cousin, the late Geo. Sparling. the well known grain merâ€" chant. He was in the grain business fifteen years here and later spent a short time in St Marys. Returning to Durham, he bhas since lived a retired life, excepting for part time occupaâ€" tion in buying furs,. gardening, ¢tc. For the last twenty three years he has boarded at the Central Hotel here. He owns a plot of land on Durâ€" ham Road, Upper Town, where year by year he cultivated a vegetable and flower garden which was a modâ€" el for neatness and beauty. Passed away in Durham Hospitat en Monday Morning George was reserved in nature and generous in disposition. Mis parents died eleven and filteen years ago, but most of the family of three brothers and five sisters are around the old home. These are Richard, of Los Angeles, Cal.; Wesley, Misses Amanda and Sarah, on the home farm at Woodham : Mrs Spearin in St. Marys ; Mrs A. M. Doupe, Woodâ€" ham and Mrs Wesley Switzer, Ranâ€" The remains were taken from Durham Hospital Monday afternoon, to Kress‘ undertaking parlors, thence by motor Tuesday morning to the old home at Woodham, where the funeral was held at 2 p.m. Wednesâ€" day. Interment took place in the Unâ€" ion Cemetery, Kirkton. Runaway Team John Gilpin‘s famous ride was nothâ€" ing to the spirited dash made by a team belonging to Mr Wm G. Porter, of North East Normanby, last Monâ€" day afternoon. Mr Porter was deâ€" livering potatoes at the home of Mr. Geo. Yirrs, Countess St., when his horses suddenly boited south with the wagon. â€" They: negotiated the turn from Countess east on to Lambton St. and then gaining momentum dashâ€" ed toward the main corner of the town. Luckily there were no childâ€" ren or vehicles in the path of the wild steeds, but a traveller, Mr Geo. Good, of Toronto, was slowly driving north on Garafraxa in his 1927 Ford touring. _ On reaching Garafaxa St. the horses swerved to turn south, and in front of J. and J. Hunter‘s store crashed into the side of the touring car. Their momentum carried them on top of hood and top, the tongue of wagon struck the rear door and the impact turned car und driver over on its side. The Purham Review. Overturned Car Not for some time has Durham and environs, particularlyâ€"Egremont Townâ€" ship, been the home of a contagious disease which now exists, such as small pox. _ To date, only one case has appeared in town while there are several in the vicinity of Wildâ€" er‘s Lake. Every precaution is being taken by the Medical Officer of Health of the respective localities. _ The schools of No‘s 12 and 13, Egremont, are closed for some weeks and as will be seen elsewhere, all public meetings in Egremont Tp. are to be cancelled for a time. Vaccination has become necessary, if not comâ€" pulsory in Durham, and it should be the responsibility of every citizen to safeguard an outbreak. Here is what , the "Teachers and Pupils Cyclopaedâ€" | ia," published by the Holst Publishâ€" ! ing Co. have to say about the disâ€" ease : Fifty years ago to the date, Monâ€" day, Dec. 12th, Thomas Greenwood and Margaret Elwards, both of Glem elg, plighted their troth to live hereâ€" after together. Rev. Mr Godfrey. pastor of the Methodist Church at that time at Zion, officiated and the world at large and the relatives and friends particularly, take this opporâ€" tunity of noting how true and loyal theso sacred vyows have been kept. The groom is the son of the late W im Greenwood, while the bride is a daughter of the late Thos. Edwards. Supporting them through this ordeal, were the bride‘s sister, Mrs Henry Moffat now of Edge Hill and the late Dan Greenwood, It may be of interâ€" est here to state that Alderman Godâ€" frey of Toronto, is a son of the pasâ€" tor of that date. There was a large and happy wedding party assembled to do honor to the bride and groom of 187. The scene now shifts to the home of the bride and groom fifty years later, when a portion of the famtly and relatives were present to rejoice with them on the culmination of 50 years of a useful and happy married existence. With the exception of the past 11 years at their home, one half mile east of Upper Town, they have been contlnu%us residents of Edge Hill, where the name has always stood synonymous with honer and reâ€" spect. Egremont Meetings Cancelled owing to Smallpox Outbreak Six children were born to this couâ€" ple but due to the time of year for celebrating, it was decided to mark the day quietly for the present. The six children are Mrs Doug. Campbell (Annie May) at Mylett, N. Dakoia ; Mrs Dan Campbell, (Winnie) Fargo, Mich. ; Miss Ethel, teacher in Proâ€" ton : Ernest, on the home farm at Edge Hill: Herbort, residing across from his parents : Rev. J. W., at Grayling, Mich, A fowl dinner was enjoyed on Monâ€" day by the two sons with wives near by, the bride‘s brother and sisters, Mr and Mrs R. T. Edwards, Mr and Mrs Chas. McClocklin, both of Zion, and Mr and Mrs H. Moffat, Edge Hill. "Smallpox er Variola, a contagious disease, resulting from a specific morâ€" bid poison and passing through sevâ€" eral stages. Contagion is the only known origin of small pox. It is thought to be the most contagious of diseases. The period of incubation after exposure is believed to be from 10 to 14 days, but in cases of direct inoculation of the virus, the time is much shorter. A high inflammatory fever fs the first manifestation of the disease. _ It is followed after 3 to 5 days by eruptions, which at first fecl like small shot under the skin, but finally develop into serious infiltraâ€" tions, called vesicles. The vesicles gradually increase in breadth, formâ€" ing pustules and by about the eighth day they break open... Shortly after they become covered by scabs. 'Ihe1 number of pustules depends largely on the severity of the case, nnging‘ from only a few to many thousands, About the twenty first day the scabs are completely gone, leaving blotchés of a reddishâ€"brown color for several months and in many cases they beâ€" come permanent pAts in consequence of ulceration of the true skin. Vacâ€" cination is ordingrily a preventive, though not absolutely proof against it, but it has been> found that the persons vaccinated rarely have an aggravated form of the disease, About 50 per cent of the persons affiicted with small pox in fomertimes died of the disease, but vaccination and enâ€" ihrged skill in medical practice have lessened mortality to & remarkable ienent." 9 Only a few of family and intimate relatives present to share in the festivities.
