Last Wednesday afternoon the rural phone fire alarm warned the countryside for miles around - that Holder Bros' horse barn was on fire. Inside of twenty minutes a large force of men from the village and surrounding neighborhood was on hand and by strenuous efforts suc- ceeded in saving all the contents of the building except the hay in the loft, and also kept the fire from spreading to nearby buildings.

The many friends here of the late John Hughes of Kingston, were sorry to hear of his passing away. During the many years of his residence here he was esteemed as an industrious, | thrifty and honorable neighbor and friend. Fred Balls was very seriously ill! last week, but is slowly recovering. C.

Sydenham, Dec. 20.--At the parsonage on Wednesday morning at ten o'clock Rev. F. A. Read united in marriage Robert John Green, of Perth Road, to Edna Jones®of Bed- ford township. The happy couple left in the afternoon for Ottawa and other eastern points. A drunken brawl occurred on Red- man's. Corner, late Saturday night, between two local farmers. Con- stable Dowker was in the village to- day (Wednesday) and secured the necessary information. A prosecu- tion will undoubtedly follow. A daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. Uley Blaksley on Saturday, De- cember 15th. Little Miss Katie Charlton, who is in ther General Hospital, Kingston, is recovering nicely, but some time will yet elapse before she will be around as usual.

The trustees of the High School Board met on Monday aftermoon. Considerable business was trans- acted, the chief item of interest be- ing the Jueyring of a athamatical acher fill the vacancy left by 3. i Knowles, who has enlisted with the Royal Flying Corps. Several prospectives were brought up, but the board finally agreed to communi- oate with B. F. , a former teacher, who is now ng relief Taek as. principal of Port Col- commu Other nications the best bird in the show (to be won three times), was wom by Clugston Bros.

Givens silver cup for the best bantam in the show (to be won three times), was won by Roak Bros. 3 On Thursday evening the show came to a close after a most success- Tul exhibition, considering the condi- tions under which it was held. The armouries proved a most suitable place, and the collection on exhibl- tion; declared hy experts to be of a very high class. A feature was the addresses on matters of vital interest to the poultry raiser and breeder given by Miss Yates, of the Dominion Agri- cultural Branch instructional staff. She is intensely practical and inter- esting, and showed to large crowds every afternoon and evening the ad- vantages of certain methods of handling poultry and preparing it for the market and the consumer. {Another feature was a demon- stration of the .marketing systems in Egypt, Denmark and Prince A Ed- ward Island. These methods can be used in Canada, and the Agricul- tural Department showed how by means of a huge chart, lighted by electric lights. It proved very at- tractive, and was studied gy many. At the evening show Thursday Mayor J. M. Hughes came in at nine o'clock and made the draw for the prizes of trios of poultry. They re- sulted as follows: N.. Timerman, 669 Princess street; | Helene De -Mouilpied, 380 Alfred street, and Lieut. E. C. Barrett, 87 Division street. Following the drawing the mayor gave a short address commenting on the value of having a poultry show in the city and the fact that it did much in this crisis of the nation's history to help in Greater 'Production. He then presented the cups to the winners and the show concluded by the crowd cheering for the mayor and the King. A 'second hand automobile is sometimes better than a new one. Everything breakable about it may be broken. "A girl's jealousy tickles a vanity during courtship, but after marriage--~well, that's different.
