winter holiday the tribune had a short visit from mr george cober markham farmer just back from his annual trip to the southern states mr cober said he hadnt seen a street car from the time he left toronto until he returned again nor had he seen any drunkenness although the laws are not so stringent as they are in canada regarding the sale of liquor he gathered from many americans that they would welcome canada as another state in the union and thought we would make the greatest- country in the world if united but then each thinks it is now so we would be a supernation in any event it is a nice feeling to know that your neighbor would glady join hands with you and thats as it should be mr cober was impressed with his stayover in pennsylvania among the dutch amish and mennonites great people pros perous and happy is the way he describes them then he referred to the church of the brethren and baptists who held tent meetings he attended enroute home he visited two great grandsons and
