Bm P P AAAA CC y t C sge C PA P Second Section mining road construction o the roads Minister of Antario, reâ€" mining road Last week The Advance published an interview with Mr. J. D. Tipton, of sault Ste. Marie, Ont., who was a pioneer bank manager in the Porcupine area and who knew the North in its earliest days of development and did his part to start it on the right way to progress. Mr. Tipton has many friends in Timmins, Schumacher and South Porcupine, and these will be interested to know that he is widely known and estsemed in other parts of the North. The New Liskeard Speaker last week had the following reference to Mr. Tipâ€" ton‘s recent visit to the North:â€" "The writer was indeed sorry to be "out of town" when this office receivâ€" ed a call from /Mr.â€" J. D. Tipton, of Sault Ste. Marie, and former North Country resident. Mr. Tipton was on a pleasure jaunt through the T. N. O. section of the North and was acâ€" companied by Mrs. Tipton and their son Douglas. J. D. Spent some time in town, visiting with his old friend, Mr. Jas. Kearns, and also renewing old acquaintances with other New Lisâ€" keard citizens. During his years spent up here Mr. Tipton was connected with several ‘branches of the bank with which he was associated, at points which have since assumed considerable importance and we are sure his trip through to Timmins must have been of great interest to both him and Mrs. Tipton. For some years past he has been a resident of Sault Ste. Marie, where he was manager of the Royal Bank Branch, recently being retired on long time service pension. We reâ€" member Mr. Tipton as a mighty good curler and a mighty good fellow and one of our most pleasa@nt outings was in connection with a trip to Parkhill some years ago when the "Magladery boys" and their party were given the keys to that town. "J. D." was one of the party." Abraham George, who at last week‘s police ecurt took an alternative of thirty days in jail on a charge of secâ€" ond offence drunkenness, later changed his mind and on payment of $50 and costs was granted his liberty. Even the principals in this Hocal drama will laugh at it now after the passage of a few days. On Sunday the mail was brought as usual to the office and deposited in its accustomed place. Among the mail was a parcelâ€"an innocent looking raâ€" ther heavy parcel of modest girth. Puring the night, the contents of this parcel felt a strong urge to be up and doing. And they did! With unerring aim they shot out of the container, over the rest of the parâ€" cels, over the mail bags, over the mail boxes, up to the roof, all over the ficoor; and settled with calm complacency wherever it was possible to settle. Oh yes! You‘ve gupssed it!
