Mr. Marshall Kerton and family have this week moved into the late John Brcen residence in the south end of the village. Miss Helen Kurd, returned mssion- nry from Ucda, Japan, is the guest of Mrs. W.

Mrs .Ellwyn Jamieson and little daughter, Marjorie, of Owen Sound visited last week with Mrs. Mary Jamieson in town. Rev. Mr. Hall of Oakville was the preached in the Presbyterian church on Sunday. The sermon was much appreciated. Mr. R. P. Bellamy, Inspector of the Bank of Toronto and recently at Wyoming as relieving-manager, is home on his holidays. Miss Alecia Mitchell, who has been visiting her aunt, Mrs. Southgate, at Seaforth for some time, has returned home. Mr. Will Southgate accom- panied her. Mr T. C. Blakely is leaving to-day to join his family in Harriston. We are sorry to lose Mr. Blakely as he was a Arst class tailor, besides an enthusiast of the band and his musi- cal ability will be missed. Hallowe'en has come to us for this year along with the thought of the cold weather to come. During the past few years the regular yearly blockade on our main street has been conspicuous by its absence, and it is doubtful whether there will be much excitement to-night or not. The monthly meeting of the W. I. will be held at the home of Mrs. Geo. Mitchell on Wednesday, Nov 7th, at "3 o'clock p.m. Paper by Mrs. Will Moore. Lunch com. Mrs. H. Down, Mrs. C. Akins, Mrs. W. I. Henry; Sandwich Mrs. A Harrison and Mrs. F .Chard. Rev. Veales of Kimberley preached an able sermon in the Methodist church Sunday evening from the text: "And Elisha prayed and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man and ho saw; and, be- hold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha." Rev Eaton, the pas-tor, preached the anniversary sermon at Kimberley. Priceville is suspicious that poachers have been trying, and perhaps suc- ceeding, in sniping some of these animals. It is a dangerous proceed- ing if true, because they are protected in this county Those who believe shooting of deer in this county is open this fall will be likely to have their beliefs badly shattered if they undertake to capture any CAN OF CREAM CAUSES TROUBLE Court was held in the town hall, Flesherton, on Friday afternoon of last week, when a charge of theft against Russel Hill, driver for the Markdale creamery, was heard before Magistrate Creasor of Owen Sound. Crown Attorney Dyre appeared for the prosecution and Lucas & Henry for the defendant. It seems that a couple of weeks ago the. defendant entered Hillock's house and took a can of cream while the occupants were away, and did not make any returns or return the can, which belonged to the Shelburne creamery. Mr Hillock tried to get a settlement but the creamery people were only willing to pay $2.50 for the cream taken. After action had been taken the defendant returned the can. Judgment was given against defendant for amount of claim, which was $5 and costs, which would be heavy. Hill claimed that the money had been sent, but to the wrong ad- dress. We Have Niagara Electricity Niagara power can now be used when required on the Eugenia sys- tem. The tie line uniting the two systems between Harriston and Mt. Forest was completed a few days ago. At the latter place there is a frequen- cy changing station, which steps up the Niagara current from 25 cycles to 60 cycles of the .Eugenia system. The connection with the Niagara system will prevent 'any possible shortage of power in the future. Flesherton School Report 4th Class M. Stuart, C. McFadden, J. Cargoe, M. Inkster, H. Heard, K.

Good rousing reports were given from Auxiliaries, Circles and Bands, showing that the Woman's Missionary Society is trying to do more lhan play at Missions. Miss Hilda Porte sang beautifully "Shall that someone be you?" Mrs. S. Breese, Chatsworth, gav e an excellent talk on "The importance of the Devotional exercises in the Auxiliary meetings." Other good things she said was that if the Devot- ional exercises were taken away from the meetings the kernel is taken out and only the chaff remains. The report of the District as read at Branch Meeting last May showed an increase in membership, but a de- crease in funds. Miss Florence Fee of Holland Centre has offered herself f^r service. Mrs. (Rev.) J Locke of Owen Sound gave a paper onThanksgiving, reminding us that we have so much in nature and in grace to be thankful for, and jjave us a motto for the next two weeks, "Bless the Lord, oh my soul, and forget not all His benefits." Mrs. J. H. Rutherford and Mrs. Packham were re-appointed Superin- tendent and Sec.-Treas. respectively. Miss Edith Sparling of Chungking, China, an important city of 800,000 on the Yang-tse-kiang, spoke on her work in that city of darkness, though there are four missionary societies at work there. Miss Jack, Miss Marion Coon and herself represent the W.M. S of Canada, and have three primary schools and one boarding school which is the only one in the city. Miss Sparling spoke on the evangel- istic campaign, when one thousand were converted. There were not enough missionaries to care for the flock, to feed them, or in other words, to teach them Divine things, or five thousand might have been gathered in. The church held six hundred people and for one hundred and twenty nine nights it was filled dur- ing the evangelistic campaign. An invitation from Westside to meet there next year was accepted. Mrs. Krieger. formerly Jliss Etta Douglass, who has spent some years with her husband as missionary in South America, led the "Quiet Hour" when she gave an ernest talk on consecration. Jr. 3-A.

John Locke acted as chairman. Miss Spar- j ling again enthralled her audience by Patton, A. the tnr ini n g s tory of her experiences in Chungtong, China, and the bene- diction closed the meeting. Dr. Bert Ferguson, a popular Teeswater physician dropped dead in his bedroom while preparing to retire for the night. The Booth fisheries plant at Wiar- ton was damaged by fire Sunday night to the extent of $20.000, in- i eluding a tug which was burned to the water's edge.

E. deCudmore - Representative Fle*herton HORSE WON HONORS AT ALL THE FAIRS | "Mack Wildfire," the bay colt' owned by Dr. W. J. Hodson, V. S., ' of Owen Sound has in all probability ' established a record for the number ! of 1st prizes received bv any one ani- > mal shown at the fall fairs in this district this season. The fall fairs in this section of Ontario are now completed and the horse was com- ! peting against the best in the dis- trict, and in many cases was faced with very stiff "competition. Dr. Hodson holds thirty one first prizes, won by the horse at eight : shows. There are also four second prizes In these eight shows, among them being Flesherton, the horse was ' never beaten in the classes for car riage horses and for the best turn out. Secnd prizes were secured where the horse was entered in special class- . es. At the Owen Sound Fair, Dr. i Hodgson's present horse was compet- ing against "Harry Wilkes," a horse formerly owned by him but now own- ' ed in Fordwich. The two horses divid- ed the honors equally. The horse was bought by Dr. Hod- son at Thornton, Ont., from the | Blackstock Stables. Since that time the horse has been broken in for the first time nd much of the credit for ' educating the horse has been due to Mr. Thus. Findly, who trained the horse to single harness since July 19 "Mack Wildfire" is an exception- ally fine-looking horse and at all the fairs at which it was shown attract- ed a large amount of favorable com- ment. At What Age Will You Retire ? That depends. Suppose we say at sixty. All right how much will you have saved by then ? No! You must guess again. Only three men in a hundred save enough to retire comfortably at sixty. And about two . out of the three do it because they've put part of each year's earnings into Endow- ment insurance, such as provided by The Imperial Life, Write today for particulars of this plan.

The open season for this | animal is from Nov. 1st to April 15. i The man who hunts coon outside of these dates is heading off the law- abiding citizen as well as fracturing the game law. The honorable coon hunter is justified in making protest.
