whose maiden name was jane vance was born on the farm now occupied by owen davies in november 1846 her parents having emigrated from the north of ireland and settled there some two years previously she had a wonderful- memory and could relate some interesting stories regarding the early life and settle ment of uxbridge town and town ship and remembered when the pre sent town was a namiet of eight houses she was married to kobert ashen hurst in the spring of 1875 nearly fiftyfour years ago and with the exception of a few months lived in uxbridge township within a few miles of her birthplace up to her death mrs ashenhurst leaves to mourn her departure her hesoand living in goodwood four sons jonn robert and andrew of uxbridge township and cook of reach and two daugh ters mrs j

concert gets filled hall the second annual concert of the stouffville choral society took place on friday evening last in ratcliffs hall and proved to be a very suc cessful occasion both artistically and financially the chorus numbering seventyone was in good form and under the baton of mr h m flet cher rendered the various numbers with good effect the choral progrrm of ten selec tions was nicely varied in character and offered something to appeal to all tastes in the lighter vein we might mention particularly come to the fair by martin and now is the month of maying an old eng lish madrigal by morley two attrac tive choruses which were well inter preted and pleasingly sung in con trast to tufise was that rollicking old song of the sea song of the vik ings by fanirtg which was perhaps the best number sung by the full chorus although nobles fierce was the wild- billow was considered better by some to thee we call a majestic russian number was well done as was also estudiantina a chorus for ladies voices only there were two choruses tor mens voices one of which the topical song was a humorous number compossd largely of verses in the nature of take offs on various themes the society was very fortunate in beingable to secure as guest artist a young violinist antony remouch who although only thirteen years of age delighted the large audience with several excellently rendered se lections this young lads work compares more than favorably with that of artists many years his senior both in age and experience and he evidently has a very bright future in store for him the young lad was encored on every piece he play ed misses anne lehman and eva hoover played two piano duets the ever popular overture from poet and peasant by von suppe and the peer gynt suite by greig both numbers were well done but the former probably because of its being better known and more melodic seemed to have the greater appeal and the artists were recalled to play an encore in addition to the above mr noah stouffer played several cornet solos in his usual capable manner and the stouffville male quartette sang two humorous selections mary had a little lamb and fishing which apparently caught the audience in a receptive mood the quartette is composed of messrs willis lehman f marshall harold a sanders dr neil smith altogether the program was an at tractive one which pleased vhe large audience gathered to hear it and we feel that mr fletcher the conductor and the choir are to be congratu lated on the splendid outcome of their work during the past few months and that stouffville and vic inity should be proud to have such a capable organization in its midst additional locals mr paul boadway is off duty at the dominion stores owing to having had all his teeth

burden reeve geo a mcmillan of reach township called upon the ontario county council at whitby on tuesday after noon last week to memorialize the department of highways either to assume the entire cost of provincial highway construction the counties now paying 20 per cent or to grant some special concession to ontario county on account of the extraordin arily large road mileage a conse quence of the natural layout mr mcmillan stated that no doubt the municipalities of the province had grown tired of asking the govern ment to release the counties from the twenty per cent payment but nevertheless he felt that further efforts along this line should be ex erted if the government continues building expensive pavements and asks this county to pay twenty per cent of the cost i dont
