The W.A. had contributed $265.00 or this and paid $100 or! the principal or the rectory mortgage which now stands at $1600. $125 had been sent to the Synod for missions.

The young men de- cided to investigate and tried to coax the dog to go in, but evidently the dog had been there before and re- ceived a clout on the Jaw. Drawing closer the men observed the animal stick its head part way out and, ac- cording to one report. one of them fired a shot into it with his 22. An- other story says they were afraid their 22 bullets were not heavy enough and decided to seek a heavier charge. So they went to Frank Loftus house and notified Mr. Loftus. He returned with them to the scene, bringing a shot- gun heavily loaded with buckshot. The animal again stuck its head out when Mr. Loftus let blaze which soon put an end to its career. .It was a fine spe- cimen of a black bear and said to weigh around 300 pounds. Probably this is the bear that has been seen on several occasions during the last three years around that vicinity. ~Kitchen Range Blown Up A terrific explosion occurred at the residence of Terry O'Neill on last Fri- day morning when the kitchen range ; was blown into hundreds of pieces and hurled with awful force in all directions. Ever since the cold zero weather set in Mr. O'Neill has been having trouble with the water system in the house freezing up and it is pre- sumed that the water jacket in the firebox was frozen. Shortly after the fire was started there was a terrible explosion and pieces of the. stove flew in all directions, tearing off the door, smashing windows and hurling pieces through the walls and ceiling, spattering soot and ashes from ceiling to floor. Mrs. O'Neill had Just left the stove and was close to the window across the room when the window was blown out. She was hurled to the floor, but very luckily escaped being hit by flying pieces of iron. The lid of the range was carried clean down the hall to the front door where it buried itself in the woodwork.

The day could scarcely have been more favor- able, enough frost to make the ice good, motoring excellent, "and yet suf- cient snow to make it possible to use either sleighs or cutters. Naturally the rink was the centre " of interest dur- ing the afternoon but toward evening the young people after their strenuous exertion were glad to gather in `the United Church basement where a sup- per had been provided by the ladies of the community. After the tables had been cleared away Rev. D. A.` Fer- guson was voted to the chair and a programme of songs, readings and speeches commenced.

I ELL CDQI Mr. Craw was minister of Townline, E Baxter and Ivy for thirteen years. In , all that time no one ever knew him to shirk where duty called. He was an . able preacher and a man who was in the work to win souls for the Kingdom of Christ. He never entered a home as a pastor but he read from God s word and had prayer. He has gone to homes where there was a sick baby. walked the oor till twelve at night with the sick babe in his arms relieving the tired mother. By their works ye shall know them. If a call came that someone was sick and needed him, if there was no other way of getting there he would walk. None ever called in vain. The church was always God's house to Mr. Craw. He showed every reverence when he entered the door. To know the man was to like him The better one knew him the more one appreciated wh it it generous heart he had. The people in his church were his people. He was their pastor. He gave them the best of guidance all through his ministry here.

Telephone Oyster Supper The shareholders of the Thornton- Ivy Telephone held an oyster supper in the hall, Thursday evening, Jan. 24. The supper was prepared and serv- ed by the Women's Institute. When the women of Ivy undertake anything they usually make a success of it and this was no exception to the rule. There were oysters served both raw and cooked. The tables were loaded with all kinds of good edibles---pie and cake of all kinds, desserts of oranges, bananas, pineapple and grapes, ev- erything to tempt the appetite. About 150 sat down to the spread. After all had eaten all that was good for them they went upstairs where a short pro- gramme was carried out with J. A.
