among the present residents but also among those who may have passed happy hours of their childhood in our midst or been associated with us as one of the stalwarts among our business men this desirable state is probably due to tho harmony that has exist ed since our incorporation there being remarkable freedom from political religious and business rancor a big factor in leaving pretty dress of rich pink taffeta i pleasing memories to those who have passed to other communities this happy faculty is well illus trated by the munificent gift of 2000 from one who spent child hood and adult life in this muni cipality our former citizen is don ating 2000 to buy a clock and bell having noted the need of same by editorial comment in tribune which will ornament the town and please the present resi dents although the donor lives many miles in the neighboring republic the large sum of 2000 is amply sufficient to purchase a clock and bell by the same maker as that which delights the neighbor hood residents of the university of toronto and parliament hill ottawa yet this bell and clock must be properly boused in a sturdy brick tower on our present fire hall which will cost 1350 on account of a 100000 pave ment being laid throughout our main street the reeve and council feel that no further taxation should be levied at the present time the business men by personal note to the bank of commerce have- obligated themselves to raise the 51350 without any cost to the taxpayer so that the corporation may immediately contract to build a brick tower housing this splendid gift from a former citizen the business men intend hold ing field days garden parties etc to raise funds and also have a hope that the old boys and girls may come forward with contributions big or small to help in the good work all such subscriptions will be acknowledged in the tribune and the names of the donors written in the municipal archives and possi bly if though desirable the names of the subscribers would be suit ably engraved on brass plates to be hung in the tower mrs jas mccullough has graciously startel off the fund with the generous git of 50 and carrying talisman roses while the groom was

held in york county this year took place on the j farquharson farm at victoria square the sals originally advertised for march 10 was postponed to the 19th owing to the snow storm while a casual observer in the morning felt it would be impossible to dispose of so much in a few hours yet everything was put under the hammer and sold with excep tion of the tractor lunch was provided to one thousand a unique feature of the lunch was the enclosure of a card bearing an important scripture verse in each bag judging from the loquacity of some such verses were not too often considered by them selling commenced at 11 am and continued until nightfall fifty two head of cattle a number of horses sheep and swine went under the hammer as well as a long list of implements and farm machinery the highest price paid for a cow and calf was 140 and horses brought as high as 170 in all the sale realized in the neighbourhood of 7000 which was very satisfac tory considering the general period of
