Several towns at times gained the unenviable distinction of having the meanest man in the province, and now it seems that someone in or near Orillia has wtablished the record. Too cowardly to rob the living, he has not hesitated to pilfer from the sac- red precincts of the dead. Some nights ago a beautiful spruce tree, planted some years ago in a family plot in tlie Orillia cemetery, \^<is cut down and carried off, pre- sumably to be sold for a few cents for Christmas decoration. The tree had required, considerable care for several years after being planted, but was growing nicely until cut down. Some years ago a similar theft took place from the cemetery grounds and only the fact that the guilty par- ties were boys saved them from a term in nrison. â€" Orillia News-Letter. spent the past week or so with his brother Henry and family, will re main for another week or so.

Without any thought of sentiment cr .suggestion that we owo allegiance to anyone, the cold, hard truth is that the retail merchants of our town arc tht best friends we have. The re- tail merchant conducts a school of commerce for our education, and the tuition is free. He protects uj a- gainst fraud and deceit. He stands for the square deal. He lives where he does business and bis success de- pends on making a friend of you and your neighbor. Like you he has to "make good." The retail merchant is the one great factor in our com- mei-cial system and this is true solely because he renders us better service than we can get elsewhere. Take him away and our home town is gone. The retail merchant will continue to abide in our affection so long as we value our homes, be Mrs. Sam Phillips entertained a few of the ladies in the n.-ighbor- hood to a quilting on^Tliursday last, when a pleasant afternoon was spent.
