Not a stroke of work had been done on the land up to the time 11*16 jury was discharged.

Silent Cop to Scrap Heap After sen'ing the village faith- fully for the past couple of years, a.< chief traffic officer, Flesherton's constable has at last beea forced to retire from public life. During his long service in directing the traffic he has had several narrow escapes by being run over on different oc- casions by various reckless drivers, hut each time bobbed up again and continued on duty, none the '.vorse of his experiences He continued on duty night and day during tihis time, tireless, never taking a rest and JV- fusing to accept any filthy lucre for the performance of these duties, do- ing it all for the good of the comm- unity. It is very raeldJom that a municipality can boast of an official so sacrificing as ours has been, and we are indeed sorry that Mr. Cons- table will be relegated to the scrap^ heap. YeiS, our constable has been a silent one, and when it was left on the square during the wnnter ; a team accidentally ran over the inan- imate object, splinthring the wooden covering, and so seriously injuring its "innards" that the bobbette fails to bob when 'bunty pulls the string.' i6^ Economy ^TransDorbiticm CHEYROtET BETTS â€" McMlTLEN The marriage of Miss Lottie Ella McMuilen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sam McMuilen of Flesherton to Mr. Francis Betts, son of Mr. and Sirs.
