The following is the address: Dear Friends : â€" While it is with pleasure that we, your neighbors and friends, take possession of your home to-night to enjoy once more your gen- erous fellowship, nevertheless a tinge of sadness instinctively intrudes itself into our circle when we remember that you are about to remove from this community and that we are called upon, for a time at least, to say good bye. I Many of us have known you both ; since your early years, and observed { you grow up and take your place as I worthy citizens. We have observed j wtih much satisfaction your readiness at all times to act the part of good neighbors and true friends, and to display that noble trait of character, a kindly nature which is always a priceless gem to its possessor. It is not our purpose to weary you with a lengthy address or to indulge in needless compliments. We assure you that you take to your near home our sincerest good wishes and kind- liest hopes for your future enjoyment of true happiness. We wish you also to accept this purse and contents hoping that t'lough distance may divide us, that this token of an esteem wi" strengthen the links in friendsnip's chain that bind us to- gether. May your sky be bright and shining Wheresoe'er your footsteps stray. Clouds be decked with silver lining. Shedding gladness on your way. Signed on behalf of your neigh- bors an friends, F. Blakey, Wm. Find- lay and T. R. McKenzie. * BATES BURIAL CO. FUNEKAL SERVICE NEW MODERN FUNERAL PARLORS 122-124 Avenue Road, TORONTO Telephone: Klngsdal* 4344 J. W. Bates. R, Maddocki.

Mr. j ^ ^^^be^ ^{ ^^^ ^^^^ j,^^.^ ^een WHAT HDYRO WILL DO NOTICE The breaking of the hydro wire a little west of the village on Satur- day morning from the severe frost, and CO" ing in contact with the muni- cipal telephone line, was the cause of much damage to the system, that will no doubt take several days to repair. In several farm houses along this loop the owners got a bad scare when fire broke out at different places, and some received bad shocks, not know- ing what was the cau-3e of the trouble for some time. -At one place *^ - telephone burst in flames which caught onto the window curtain and the r.i.in secured an axe and chopped the 'vire. .At another place the pho-.e was making such an uproar that the young man rushed outside to sec what was causing the trouble and wa.-. met '.vith a sheet of flames fror-. his cellar outside window, that was Inirning fiercely. Other places hau similar experiences. One man ws sendin.sr his young son out to the roa'' to see what was wrong with the Hydro wire as it was shooting hund- reds of iitars and blue flames high in the air, and just as the boy was ncar- i;i!r the fence the Hydro repair gang came along just in time to yell at the bcv and warn him not to touch the wnro fen?e with the hydro wire lying pcvoos it, carrying 25.000 volts. In i\i"ivale we hear much of the cable is burr- ' out while in Central much damage is done to the switchboard. Tliis will be a heavy lo.'s and much variety of opinion is being expressed as to who will be compelled to foot t'l" bill. Some .^y the Hydro Com- mission, others say not. All are very 3crry to be without telephone service hero for orobably a month or more. During this trouble the viH- r.ce ^v^as without lights but the Hvdro rcoair gang were on the job in fairly rrood time and had the system working â- â€¢â- ""fectly in short time. â€" Barrie Ex- aminer.
